    FIFA 16 can be stubborn and stifling, but it feels gloriously new, and having to learn fresh strategies and nuances in a game series like this is an almost-forgotten pleasure.

    Looks like FIFA 15, but it's a better game. FIFA 16 improves the gameplay and is on par with PES 2016 again.

    FIFA 16 may be the best solution, this year, for anyone looking for a football sim on the PC platform. This is mostly a result of its competition being a very bad port for PC and EA Sports playing it safe when it comes to the franchise. There might not be vast improvements from its predecessor, but FIFA 16 does have some, resulting in a game that is an awful lot of fun to play.

    FIFA 16 is little bit slower than FIFA 15, but this slow gameplay is pushing you to play much more tactical. Is it better then 15? I am not sure. But anyway, Ultimate Team is still there! And you will play it.

    This year FIFA had a lot of notable changes, including female teams and new announcers, but most important ones concern game mechanics themselves. [Nov 2015, p.82]

    Gameplay changes are substantial, but not always in the right direction. Nevertheless, the new FIFA is still a very robust and rewarding production. FIFA 16 is not a blast from first match but gains our respect with each season.

    All these adjustments to animation, dribbling, and shooting lead to what EA is calling Moments of Magic, which feels like a misguided attempt to define something that’sbeen part of FIFA for years.

    Still the best football game you can buy for your rig, but FIFA 16 feels unambitious.

    Even though FIFA 16 can easily fool you into thinking that you’re watching live TV, these pretty visuals are not enough to justify this expensive upgrade from FIFA 15. But if you missed last year’s game, you’re in for a treat.

    Something of a return to form after 15, but sooner rather than later EA will need to stop re-arranging pieces of their existing code and actually develop a properly new and substantial FIFA engine.

Wow- theI was so happy after getting the game at midnight from Origin. I couldn't wait to see Memphis Depay and Martial's stats in Man Utd. Wow- the new Fifa! Finally!
    All that joy went away in about an hour.
    Draft mode - well it really good idea, feels great when you are building the team. But once you start playing some FUTBOL you immediately get frustrated. It's slow, sluggish and boring.
    I though it's because the SCRIPT (EA admit the game uses software that favors one of the opponents when he/she sucks) was not on my side.
    Coll - let's try Career Mode with Bayern then - I really find it a little more fun then Ultimate team.
    It was even worse. I started playing at World class, but I won my first games with 4-5 goals each.
    Legendary was really frustrating, it's like your Robben (90+ pace) is slower than an old lady going to a Sunday church and PER MERTESAKER (under 40) has a jet engine in his ass and decimates the poor Dutch.
    Then I decided to do something I haven't done in years - check PES 16.
    It was fluid, fast, unpredictable and FUN compared to the FIFA. I switched back again to FIFA game and it felt as dynamic and fluid as chess.
    I got my money back from Origin (24hour return rule) and bought PES.
    If you don't believe me - get the PES demo from Steam - it's free.    … Full Review »

It just gets worse each year. It's at the point now where it's really a footy mgt game without most of the mgt aspect(!) as you have no control over the outcome. You pick the team sheet sure, you have that "freedom". But in reality there's no guarantee an 88 rated player won't have his stats dumbed down to oblivion nor a 52 rated players boosted to Pele status. It seems each players stats just go into some random number generator for the each game, changing perhaps only around the 40-45m mark or 85-90. Very predictabl… Full Review »
