Player Training lets you set up a handful of drills for players to do in order to potentially increase their overall ratings, but the whole thing feels rather shallow. Unfortunately, they don’t really change or add too much. Career Mode, which hasn’t seen any improvements or add-ons for quite a while now, delivers both Pre-Season Tournaments and Player Training this time around. Though the incredibly small number of teams is an obvious issue, it’s still an important step forward and one can only assume that future instalments will include more content. There are a total of 12 national teams to choose from and compete in Offline and Online Tournaments, Online Friendly Matches, and Match Days. For the first time in sports video game history, people can finally choose to play as female athletes. The soundtrack is stellar, as well.įIFA 16 also has four brand-new teams and modes one of which is, finally, the Women’s National Teams. FIFA 16 is pretty, with detailed player animations, authentic and accurate kits, balls, player models, and stadium recreations. Alongside these additions, everything else just feels and looks more smooth. The same rings true for ‘No Touch Dribbling’, which allows you to make a bunch of clever moves before actually touching the ball, deceiving the players in front of you in the process. The inclusion of a new little mechanic called ‘Passing with Purpose’ lets you play ambitious and sharp passes, and adds a subtle-but-effective new dynamic while playing a match.

The terrific swift movement and speed, build-up play, shooting, dribbling, and passing all make for a great time. You’ll only catch a few new revisions here and there however, it’s still always a blast to play FIFA, and it isn’t any different with this year’s entry. Ever since the nearly flawless FIFA 12 released-which introduced a slew of dramatic gameplay changes like a new way to defend-the subsequent games have only felt slightly different.

But with only a few incremental changes and additions present, it might not be worth the $60 purchase.Įvery year, people always wonder about just how much EA can improve on something that’s already fantastic. FIFA 16 is a fine soccer game, and arguably the most refined entry in this long-running series.
