    Gameplay wise and menu wise a downgrade compared to previous versions. This is more of a cash grab than a better itteration of a previous game.

    Esse jogo é simplesmente uma cópia dos anteriores a ele, totalmente repetitivo e sem nada de diferente, a única coisa que salva é a diversão ao se jogar online ou co-op!

    FIFA 16 Review: 3/10
    Meh, what can I say beside that... It's just another annual FIFA game with very little differences and just a small improvement in graphics and physics. That's it.
    I refuse, and never did, to buy this franchise every year. Boring, uninspired, full of micro-transactions.
    Last FIFA I'll ever play.
    EA get it together.

    How this got good reviews from the critics baffles me, yes the graphics are good and that is pretty much the only positive. I have bought every FIFA brand new since FIFA 2001 and this is without a doubt the worst it is very irritating to play.

    Not a single change since FIFA15. Career mode is even worse because of the new transfer system IMO. Servers are still a real mess. Nothing else to say about this FIFA update.

    Passing is awful, the power and direction you press have no relevant on the actual pass the player attempts. Ive had full power passes come off players with the pace a snail and low power passes make it half way down the pitch. The passing system in this instalment was BROKEN no other word for it.

    Tackling is worse and its even easier to get a penalty than before simply go into the box and rapidly change direction or trick trick and a tackle will almost always result in a penalty if done right.

    The AI is awful through out the game, the runs are terrible, the amount of times they have run into my player is dreadful they part like the red sea in defensive positions.

    This game is for those who have lot of time to practicing, it's very difficult to defend and pass the ball correctly. Even penalties you will have to train before to play. I bought the FIFA 16, but as I don't have much time to play, I needed to buy PES in order to have a football game at home.

    I was seeking a methodical experience, which FIFA 16 promised with the return of midfield and defence, and also improved physics. Nevertheless, 16 remains indulgent as 15 in pace: it's less of a team experience and closer to a homoerotic fixation on 'special' players. The ball's on a wire as ever and that's combined with a randomity which overrides any skill.

    Downhill enterprise. Need to stick to 1 gameplay/mechanics system. You update it every year as if you reinvent the wheel. Football is football. Don't alter how the game is played, improve visuals, immersiveness and perhaps techniques/controls but not the game. Im going to sell 14,15 and 16 now and buy PES16. See what all the fuss is about. Apparently a lot better than Fifa, i will review later.

    It doesn't feel like a review for this game is necessary since you would clearly have to have no common sense to invest your money in it, but my experience with the game was that the offline mode was impossible after a relatively low difficulty setting, so it is senseless to play after a certain point, and the multiplayer is so imbalanced it will give you bipolar disorder.

But in other games, your player ALWAYS get late to the ball, you can never outrun or at least keep in pace with your theoretically slower opponent (ex: Neymar x Pepe) ans more strangely only by getting a little contact with your opponent, your player is tossed meters away to the floor (with no fault, or penalty given). Its is ABSOLUTYELLY RIDICULOUS! I lost a lot of games in Fifa 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, but never got so angry like in 15, and specially, in 16. On the previous games, I got mad with myself, for a mistake I made, but in Fifa 16 sometimes you have nothing to do, the game is set so you have a CLEAR disadvantage in all key areas of the game (speed, AI positioning, shooting accuracy, player robustness and power when fighting for the ball)… Expand

The first touch system is a constant problem in FIFA games, and (surprise, surprise) it has not been addressed. You could tackle someone but because the first touch of the player is so bad it will knock the ball away from that player, allowing the opposition to regain possession. If this happens in front of your own goal, it can result in a few broken controllers.

    Goalkeepers have been improved, in all fairness. They will now be much more commanding, rather than being a bunch of Simon Mignolets. Other than that, can anyone give me anything that has been improved from FIFA 15? I'll answer my own question, no.    … Expand

This Is to be my second every review, my last one was probably over a year ago so It's not like I'm a serial negative reviewer. I'm just trying to warn others.

    This Is the second worst game ever made, I'd play Battlefield Hardline over this every day of the week and that was the other game I reviewed on here.

    The game Is scripted, It's pre-determined you can't do anything to stop the computer winning a game If It wants to.

    You can't do anything to stop online people winning against you, no matter how much better you play. That's also scripted to some extent.

    I don't recall playing a match where the computer has less than 61% possession. That's supposed to be fun? Chasing AI for 60+ minutes of the game? It's almost Impossible to tackle them too and on the off chance you do manage to pull off a tackle 90%+ of the time it bounces off you and straight back to the opposite team.

    It got to the point where I'd put my controller down, stop chasing and wait for the computer to lose the ball / miss a shot. It's a waste of your time chasing them.

    Through balls will either go wide or the keeper will gather them before you get to the ball 100% of the time.

    The opposition goalkeeper Is "God mode" you will rarely score.

    Shooting Is way off, I've been playing Fifa's since 06 and I'm a prolific shooter of the ball In all of them. Not In this one though.

    Player "ratings" mean nothing. Team Chemistry seems to actually make the game harder the higher It Is. Defenders with 50 pace will run twice as fast as your attackers with 90+ pace 100% of the time.

    I can't even begin to get into the things that are wrong with this game, crossing, referees, passing, tackling goalkeeping, through balls, shooting.

    I just pretty much listed everything to do with football, meaning everything about this game terrible.

    It Is not enjoyable to play In the slightest, please If you're pondering getting this but you aren't sure. Heed my warning It's the worst Fifa ever made by a long, long shot. I've never played a PES but I'd play it one handed and blindfolded with watermelons stuffed up my butt before I tried this Fifa again and I'd no doubt enjoy It more too.

    All this game Is is a brand nowadays. The "FIFA" brand and we all know how corrupt that lot are, this game Is just as corrupt as the people who run Fifa. No passion went Into making this game, i firmly believe the people who made this game were not football fans. It's merely a cash grab.

    Had they been football fans It would have been a football game. Instead It's chase / lose the ball simulator 2016.

    I could go on for days saying what's wrong with this game but It's Sunday and I should chill out. I might be back to add more to this review on another day yet though.

Sounds good!. It's a shame that 16 falls short of what was expected as the idea is there its faulty mechanics that let it down and its painfully slow pace.

    PACE
    Ok first off the pace of the game.....I always said it was over powered, always wanted a slower fifa but.......oh my god it's so frustrating to beat the back line only for them to catch you up in 2-3 seconds and tackle you. Pace is over powered but this time its in favor of the defender, defensive mistakes are not punished at all so don't even think about using skill moves as they are next to useless as the defender can recover extremely fast.

    DEFENDING
    As I've already said, pace is on your side when defending making pace abuse far less of an issue this year the problem your most likely to find now is that defending is more of a 'mistake management' situation, what i mean is the ai defenders WILL let you down at some point, the controls WILL let you down at some point, your full backs WILL be out of position at some point, your tackle WON'T be enough (you need to tackle them 3-4 times to maybe win the ball back) "oh that's right by my keeper he can catch that.....WRONG! He will let you down at some point as well.

    Defending when its working is great, its responsive and fast (although over powered), it's 40/60 with your ai team mates more often than not your pulling them into position yourself , top tip just do 'basic' defending and hope the ai doesn't let you down to much.

    Ultimately there are going to be X amount of (big) mistakes per game made by the ai, if you cant stop your own team mates from f*cking up then you loose.

    PASSING
    So far its a mixed bag, the R1 pass is awesome to deliver a fast direct ball to an attacker but the basic passing with X is shocking, very weak and poorly directed. I know that you wont place a good pass all the time and that's fine but with 16 its basically a gamble if your pass will work or not 40% of passes will not be the pass you attempt and of the 40% about 20% will be directly intercepted and 20% hit to hard/soft or slightly off target so there is a high chance of an easy tackle on you. I don't want to be randomly punished for passing in a game that's 80%-90% about passing and playing ' beautiful'.

    BALL CONTROL
    By far my biggest gripe with 16 is how bad most players are at controlling the ball except for when they are sprinting at full speed, a HUGE problem that was fixed in fifa 14 them some how brought back into the game? you can sprint and turn very quick but if someone plays the ball to your feet and there is a defender within 10 yards you cant seem to be able to move? your only able to take little baby steps in any direction, why? just why? Also skill moves.........pointless sometimes they work sometimes they don't and if there is a defender anywhere near you then the 'exit' on the skill move sends the ball in random directions rendering the skill move its self POINTLESS (btw i have been using skill moves since fifa 11 so its not that i'm just awful at them)

    SHOOTING
    I have no problem with shooting in 16, everything about it so far has been fine if i miss it's normally because I've shot to hard/soft etc but it feels good and seems like if i miss its because of a mistake i made with power/aim and not the games fault.

    A few of the same problems are still there, ai doesn't seem to know there is a game of football going on or where the ball is, pace is now op for defenders etc but there are some new game breaking ones regarding the mechanics. Passing and using skill moves, two things that have been key to how i play fifa are now so bad that after spending the last 5 years as a division 1 player in fut and online seasons im struggling badly with div 2.
    FIFA 14 has been the best for me so far, mechanics worked, pace was more balanced (still very fast but you couldn't just sprint and turn with ease) and i could play a slow passing game without being punished for actually passing.    … Expand

    I am so sad I bought this game. It is horrible. I thought fifa15 was one of the worst games ever made. This is slightly better, but still among the worst games ever made. The score that "professional" reviewers give this game is for me a proof that they are bribed and not to be trusted on any review they post.

    It's still the same FIFA game. Pretty much nothing changed since 2010. Except for the credit earning. EA should stop money-whoring and work on a goddamn somewhat good game. But there's one problem. It's EA. So what I tell you is to go waste your money on something better. Hell yeah, even drugs.

This has been the first FIFA game that I've played on a 4th generation console and frankly it could be my last. The fundamental mechanics of the game are so frustrating that it's impossible to have any enjoyment, even when you're winning.
    The primary subject of my ire is the passing. It doesn't work. At all. In an average game I end up exasperated that the player has passed to the wrong player at least 20-5 times, and this is just in 10 minutes. The players always seem to pass to the player furthest away and in the worst position, so that when I try short simple passes out of defence, instead I end up with attempted long passes down the pitch which are easily intercepted. You'd think that this would be easy to remedy, just put less power on the passes right? Wrong. This results in all passes being drastically underhit and again possession being lost as the player receiving the pass cannot be made to react to the terrible pass and come to the ball. Even on the rare occasions that the passes are played to the right player, they still end up being intercepted by virtue of the terrible accuracy. On numerous occasions I have tried to pass to players who were slightly covered by an opponent. For example, the intended player is in space, but an opponent is closing me down and is close to the line of an ideal pass. I tried to lead the pass away from the opponent, but the passing assist just plays it straight to the opponent. Maybe I expect too much as someone who has actually played football at a low level for 15 years, to think that a simulated professional footballer can make passes that amateur Sunday league players can. I tried turning on and off all the assistance on both through and standard passing, but there is no cure. The weight of pass is the most important thing in football, and FIFA 16 has kicked it to the wayside. Through balls are often overhit for absolutely no reason. The receiving player is in space, the player passing is unchallenged and bang he fizzes it miles past his target (who often stop or change their run as soon as i press the through ball button anyway) and an easy opportunity is wasted.
    Eventually, with some luck, your pass will find someone on your team. A through ball might be played with a decent weight, but even now the problems are not over as the touch and dribbling mechanics are equally atrocious. Considering that this game is meant to represent professional athletes it's laughable ho most of them take about 5 minutes to just turn 180 degrees with the ball. The game is far too focused on 'skills' and tricks and has lost any reality that it once might have featured. Players apparently cannot change direction in under 5 seconds with the ball unless they perform some skill. I have tried just running without sprinting at all and the results were comically bad. If you try to cut inside a speeding defender by slowing down and turning sharply inside, your player will do the first part well, the defender will run by, but then instead of accelerating inside, your player will tentatively nudge the ball centremetres at a time until the defender you had just successfully beaten has managed to come back, rendering the whole operation completely pointless. It seems to me that FIFA has become too wrapped up in skill moves and looking cool, rather than producing a football simulation game. If you watch a real match then you are unlikely to see many tricks and skills on show, and even less likely to see any player who does so, do a skill move for any real advantage. Rhyad Mahrez Vs Stoke has been the only example all season, and yet EA seems to think that skill moves have to happen all the time and without them players cannot possibly change direction or take the ball past an opponent.
    As well as the problems with changing direction, the first touch has become comical, especially when the ball is in the air. If the ball is bouncing you can forget about doing anything with it for at least a minute, or until you're inevitably tackled. It's reached the point where having a throw in is a disadvantage as even if you throw it to someone in acres of space, he will be tackled before he can control it because controlling a bouncing ball is apparently impossible. When the ball is on the ground the first touch is only slightly better. Receiving the ball from a pass and wanting to go in the other direction literally never ends well. All the problems I mentioned about changing direction are present, and this time you haven't got extra time because you've fooled a defender. Even receiving a through pass, going the right direction doesn't give satisfactory results as for some reason it takes about 2-3 touches for the player to get up to sprint speed, making the through pass pointless. I haven't tries many chip through balls, as it seemed very janky in the drills, but I imagine the bouncing ball slows the player down even more.
    Terrible game.    … Expand

    One word can accurately describe my FIFA 16 experience. FRUSTRATING. EA somehow managed to take the good base that FIFA 15 had layed out and utterly destroy it. For every step forward FIFA16 takes, it takes 2 or 3 steps back.

FRUSTRATING. EA somehow managed to take the good base that FIFA 15 had layed out and utterly destroy it. For every step forward FIFA16 takes, it takes 2 or 3 steps back.

    The only positive you can take from this mess of a game is that fact that playing against a friend is at least bearable as both players have to deal crap that EA calls innovation. I can confidently say that this is the worst FIFA I have ever played.

    Lets get down to what really grinds my gears about EA's latest edition:

    1. Stats don't mean a thing

    It doesn't matter if you have the strongest or fastest player in the game; the weakest and/or slowest player will always be able to keep up with you and muscle you off the ball. It's so frustrating to watch as your winger with 90+ rated sprint speed is chased down and dispossessed by a CB with 40+ sprint speed. What also drives me crazy is that fact that a defender can be a yard behind the player on the ball, and then miraculously teleport ahead of them and in possession.

    2. Shambolic player switching system:

    Having to bash L1 five or six times in order to select a player who actually has a chance to get to the ball. FIFA 16 has a nasty habit of auto-selecting a player ridiculously far from the ball.

    3. Broken air -ball switching:

    I've lost count of the amount of times a cross has been played into the box (in either attacking or defending) and my closest player simply won't select, either automatically or after 5 or 6 bashes of L1.

    4. Ping-Pong midfield:

    I can understand teams like Barcelona passing circles around the opposition with quick one-touch passing. But the fact that pretty much every team (regardless of player stats and team star ratings) does it is unrealistic and once again, frustrating.

    5. Broken foul system:

    I've lost count of the amount of times I've been tripped when running through on goal and no foul has been given. It's also ridiculous that the referees seem to book you for literally anything. And don't get me started with how inconsistent it is.

    6. Useless AI:

    One of the more frustrating 'features' FIFA 16 has to offer is the idiotic AI. Whether it's your CB's sprinting out to close a player and leaving a giant hole in defence - or your own player running in to you or in front of you as you're about to shoot, EA may have improved the AI from FIFA 15 , but it is far from perfect. That idiotic AI becomes all the more apparent when playing in PRO mode. Awful movement, stupid passing and even worse defending.

    As someone who mainly plays manager mode I'm sure my experience differs from those who play UT or seasons. This review purely comes from a heightened expectation that my FIFA 15 experience provided; and that FIFA 16 catastrophically failed to meet.

    My hope is that EA learn from this failure - and build on the positives that the game has to offer. Here's hoping FIFA 17 offers them redemption.    … Expand

    The game wasn't fully play-tested.
    That's the only explanation I can come up with. How are my 90+ paced attackers being caught up by 60-80 paced defenders even though my attacker is through on goal at full speed and a few yards ahead?

    How 99.9% of my quick crosses going straight to the keeper even though I have 2/3 players in the box and I'm directing the cross to them?
    How can players not simply turn and pass in one fluid motion without the ball going in the totally opposite direction I intended?

    I fully liked FIFA 15 by the way, 14 was the most horrible football game made this decade, but I really enjoyed 15. At least if I lost a game then I'd know it was (kinda) my fault. Yes a lot of FIFA 15 games were won & lost purely on pace; but this FIFA16 everyone-is-actually-the-same-pace 'fix' is not the answer.

    This whole midfield battle thing is bollocks because a foul is given every 2 seconds and the passing mechanics make you just wanna shoot from the halfway line anyway.
    The passing and control is unbelievably stupid. If I don't hold R1 the ball gets intercepted 90% of the time, no matter how hard I hold the pass button; but on the other hand if I do make a 'proper' pass, not even the Ronaldo's or Messi's of the game can control the ball and the opposition trots off with the result of a toss up between crap pass or crap control. Rock & a hard place, EA.
    And don't dare try to...wait for it......TURN AND PASS AT THE SAME TIME. Can't be done on this game for some reason. It's a staple of football, especially if you're being paid £20k a week but surprise, even top players on FIFA16 can't turn 180 degrees and have the intended pass go to the intended target. So that's why I question if it was play tested.

    Quick/low crosses, don't waste your time, keeper gets it
    Balls over the top or even down the wings, don't waste your time, keeper runs out and hoofs it
    Challenge or even go near the attacking player in the box, don't waste your time, penalty
    Push-sprint with your winger to try and beat the defender, don't waste your time, the defender just catches up.

    Massive fan of Ultimate Team as a game, but don't waste your time or money on the packs, absolute joke. I am livid I spent my money on the deluxe version of this game. Should have saved the extra money and bought stress balls, because you'll definitely need them after you dominate multiple matches, have three times as many shots as your opponent, have the lion's share of possession and still manage to lose to a one shot-one kill what's the deal scuff because your defender couldn't control a simple pass.

    I gave you 2 stars for the graphics and new draft mode, well done, you've got my money now anyway.

    For FIFA17 though, I will consider PES, I also will play the both before giving deciding who gets my money, standard edition of course seeing as there's literally no benefit to have a deluxe edition with the absolute poop (no disrespect) players you get in the packs.    … Expand

    FIFA 16 feels like a soulless game, with soulless commentators and fading gameplay. There's so much focus on simulating ball-handling that the rest of the game feels colorless and boring. Also the network built around FIFA is highly unstable with breaking profiles, FUT crashes, unstable online matches etc. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone.

The number of mistakes happening, fouls and penalties being given is just retarded. The amount of times that the ref will give a foul/penalty without you doing anything will have you wanting to throw the controller.

    Passing is horrible (as always) and the timing is awkward and looks unrealistic. It's as if the engine cannot cope with too much passing, so it will eventually mess up the passing if you are trying to build up a great attack.

    Also the crosses is an absolute outrage, because the goalkeeper will either catch the ball og fist it away.

    But the most annoying part and a complete nuisance is the CPU as it's constantly playing tiki-taka in the defense making it impossible to get the ball - very frustrating and boring.

    I bought this game approximately a week after its release after much deliberation as to whether I should bother this year or not. Having bought every FIFA since 2013 and sporadically before that (namely FIFA 2004,2007 and 2010) I promised myself that I would never buy another FIFA until they decide to get their hands dirty and revamp the game to its former glory, only with next-gen aspirations. I decided to go ahead and give FIFA one more chance, on the basis that they have surely made some meaningful changes in this year's instalment.

    I am currently sitting at my keyboard attempting to dream up ways of describing my feelings of utmost despair in ways that will portray how I feel about this abomination of an excuse for a next-gen football simulation. This is, in my humble opinion, the worst ever instalment of FIFA comparatively and objectively. The game is simply just not fun anymore, and this year marks the first time I have ever traded in a FIFA game. I traded it in for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. I don't even play Call of Duty anymore.

    The game is frustrating. Not the frustration you know from previous FIFA instalments, this is a whole new level of frustration which I cannot compare to anything I have experienced before. I have struggled long-term with almost uncontrollable game rage which has seen me break several controllers, a couple of consoles and even my laptop in the past. Just when I thought I had (almost) defeated my game-rage I made the mistake of playing this game. I am truly thankful and frankly surprised that I did not break anything or hurt anyone whilst I owned this game.

    Playing Ultimate Team and trawling through pack after pack (I became a bit addicted to buying packs, my biggest regret unfortunately), only to discover that having good players does not promise you wins. FUT has been nerfed through the floor, to the point where it feels like players stats and team chemistry have almost no impact on the quality of gameplay. Combine this with ridiculously overpriced FIFA points and you soon realise that FUT is now completely unplayable.

    I pride myself as an 'expert' at FIFA: I know the ins and outs of the game and I am undefeated amongst my circle of friends since FIFA 2014. I consider this to be a rather boast-worthy feat. Based on this you can imagine that I have a rather large ego when playing this game and do not take so kindly to losing. So when I'm seeing my passes go to completely the wrong players on a more than regular basis, coupled with the soul-destroying task of trying to select the right player, I struggle eternally to keep calm and enjoy the game.

    Player changing and pass direction are only the tip of the iceberg for the things that are wrong with this game. Some other things include:
    -passing is clunky and slow
    -Lobbed through balls are frequently underhit/too easily intercepted
    -Shooting is inconsistent and shots regularly under/overhit or fired completely off-target
    -'Pacey' players feel slow, so slow that Mertesacker can keep up with Aguero, even when not jostling
    -Defences are near impossible to break down
    -CPU teams pass around in defence for half of the game
    -Following the passing, they will then lob the ball over the top flawlessly and score a ridiculous goal

    The list goes on and on. I simply can't be bothered to continue.

    The only improvement I can see in FIFA 16 compared to FIFA 15 is the goalkeeper's intelligence. Goalkeepers are actually good now. Maybe too good...

    I am struggling to think of anything else positive to say about this game, except for the fact that this is the game which has seen me break free of the chains which have kept me coming back to FIFA year after year. No more disappointment, no more wasting money on packs and no more broken controllers, and this for me is definitely a positive.

    Please, save yourselves money and buy a better game. I hear that PES 2016 is good although I haven't played it myself. FIFA 16 gets a justifiable 0/10 from me.    … Expand

    FIFA 16 is most likely the worst FIFA game in years. The gameplay is practically the same as last year's FIFA, Career mode is similar with the exception of player training (which could have happened years ago), Pro Clubs is the EXACT same as FIFA 15 AND 14 ( this shows home little they care about the game mode), FUT is mostly the same as last year's with the exception of Draft.

    Roll a dice = more fun

    Seriously, buy a dice, roll it, you get a 5 or a 6 ? You win. This is what current Fifa 16 is about. Maybe you would be interested to buy this extra DLC-Dice with two 5 on it ? Or maybe you would like to spend extra money to get another super red dice that does exactly the same ?

    I'm never been so mad at a game developer for ruining the best football game ever.

    Between 2 and 4 penatlys per game, players panicking for no reason, making awful decisions. Ultimate Team makes absolutely no sense since your team plays better if you have the lesser good players because of handicap

    Every gamemode is broken. Career mode is stupid, you always get beaten by a weak side and win 5-0 against the top 5 teams

    Gameplay is horrible, passing is awful and unpredictable (roll a dice I said), scripted games all over the place. I don't count the games where I have 20 shots on target and lose 1-0 because that guy scored a **** goal in the last minute on his only "occasion"

    I have absolutely no fun playing this game. Even when I win I can see that my opponent is getting the worst luck, and it means I don't even deserve to win. And the next game it's my turn.

    Some people will say you need to learn to play. No. You can actually play like a complete **** and use all the glitches and win like that. That's how they "win". Do math and you get the same fun.

    Graphics not changed really from last game the phisics feels worse and the "momentum" in the game still ruins the ultimate team aspect of the game.

And now when I thought that EA couldn't get any worse, here comes FIFA 16 to prove I'm wrong.
    If I had to sum it up in one word, it would be "senseless". depending on the game, the same team could be playing like a 5 star or a half star. that will depend on the mood of EA. eather you make extreme wonderful passes or you miss the most simple passes (you point it to the player and the balls simply goes to the opponent that is in a completely different direction).
    Graphic wise, the game is inferior then the competition, but in my point of view, graphics is the least of my concerns, what relay matters to me is the gameplay. They are giving all the focus to new dribbling skills and forgetting the main core of the game. The gameplay is awful. They are turning this into a childish game where running with the ball is safer then passing.
    Regarding the women's teams, despite not using it, I think it was a good ideia to bring girls into the clientele, but offering this type of game, EA will loose the clients that has been with them for years. I for example, had my first FIFA in 98, moved to Winning Eleven/PES until 2008, where I finally thought that EA focused on the gameplay, and have been buying in the first week of release until then. FIFA 2017 I will only buy after I see the critics of the users. I hope that EA understands that the path they are taking will give space for other Football/Soccer games to gain market.
    So, for those reasons, my Review score will be 1 out of 10. I do not recommend the purchase of this game.    … Expand

    I will try to explain my opinion but my English is poor :)

    I'm Fifa fan for many years. Casual player to start, I buy now Fifa every year since 2008 ! I am very disappointed with Fifa 16 :( It's not longer possible to play in the verticality of the field. As soon as you make a long pass, it's ALWAYS intercepted by a defender. It's impossible to make more than 3 following passes    I will try to explain my opinion but my English is poor :)

    I'm Fifa fan for many years.
    Casual player to start, I buy now Fifa every year since 2008 !
    I am very disappointed with Fifa 16 :(

    It's not longer possible to play in the verticality of the field.
    As soon as you make a long pass, it's ALWAYS intercepted by a defender.
    It's impossible to make more than 3 following passes without the ball is intercepted.

    Thus, players like Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi are no longer able to notice the presence of a defender on his back and anticipate to receive the ball in the feet ... a defender goes ahead and cuts the ball trajectory EVERY TIME !

    The referee blows anything.
    This causes a lot of penalty that should not.

    The referee does not allow the advantages and breaks the relaunch of the ball.
    If there is a small fault committed, he have to leave the advantage (in the real football).
    But NO !!!! He whistles and it breaks the game !!!
    The decisions of the referee are really strange and illogical !!!

    However, when the last defender commits a hard foul on the striker who goes alone to the goal, the referee do not give the red card ... and sometimes it does not whistle ! It's to become crazy !!!!

    The game speed was reduced, I find that very void and dull.

    Sometimes, the stats of the players seem not to be considered.
    Indeed, you go through on goal with Lionel Messi, you are 15 meters ahead, ... the defender back on you (bronze defender with a rating of 60 !!!!) and he takes the ball :/

    For the gameplay :
    Sometimes I slightly press triangle to make a pass in the stride of another player ==> the ball is sent to 10 Km ...
    Sometimes I press hard on the triangle button to make a long beautifull pass ==> the ball is sent to 10cm ...
    It's the same with the pass button (X) and the shoot button (O)
    I don't understand the mechanic of the game. It looks like it is random

    I played 17 years in football, I watch football regularly on TV, I know the rules, ... but I think that Fifa deviates more and more from reality (gameplay, rules, ...).

    A graphic point of view : it is shamefull that some players from big teams are not better modeled !!!
    Loot the players like "Dries Mertens" from NAPOLI or "Nainggolan" from AS ROMA, ... compare with their true face and you'll understand :(

    I already thought to sell the game.

    My colleague put his fist in the PS4 console because the game has pissed.

    Ugh where should I start? Ive been playing FIFA Football games from 2002 and I can boast being a pro player for this game playing on legendary without a hassle. I play mostly Offline on Career Mode cause Im not into EA's FUT BS and can i say, playing it after a while gets really frustrating and boring playing different tier teams that has the same kind of footballing style.

    I've had played low tier teams to the top tier and they all play the same possession football , dominating possession by at least 60% to 70% all the time hardly even getting a shot at goal luckily even getting any, and they always seem to frustrate me with this as it makes the game boring for a lil minute game chasing the ball around the pitch for the entire game! And they ALWAYS frustrate me with the LB To RB long ball passes cross the pitch. FACEPALM , the game just lacks diversity.

    Referee making horrendous calls for fouls ranging from FKs to PKs. The referees Inability to call an advantage after a foul is just horrible, you'll be 1 on 1 with the GK after dribbling past the last defender and the foul is then called! You have scored the game winner, a spectacular goal ! Only to know its called back for a foul against you .Very late offside calls, not for goals scored but deeper in the field. Referees also makes stupid offside calls that is redundant as you have not interfered with the play or haven't even touched the ball! And STILL no calls for back passing to the GK ; and don't let me get on to the scripting part!

    The AI always seem to have an advantage over you in every way playing on World Class or Legendary, its as if attributes doesn't matter anymore, every player plays the same. A low rated CB will play like Sergio Ramos as they will out strength you, outpace you and at least 95% of the time they never miss a tackle, no matter how agile your player is they are agile just as you do. A low rated CM will play like a hybrid, a mix of CB, CDM and Xavi. They hardly miss interceptions , they know your every move everywhere you go! They have a high passing rate as well completing at least 90% of their passes. They have made significant changes to the GKs saving abilities, but, they took it just too far, too good being very unrealistic. The GKs are super humans as they make impossible diving catching saves with their elastic arms catching majority of your crosses and corners no matter the power. Most matches I've played GK tend to make 10-18 saves in a match despite even turning down GK ability sliders to 35.

    Another Fifa series and they still haven't made major changes to Career Mode to let it be intriguing and makes you feel part of the game of being a Manager, there is no individual reward system really to let you make history just like the Football Manager Games where that you have a Fifa Ballon D Or or PFA Player a the year,squad of the year, best youngster, U 17, U 20 World Cups etc if you play the Football Manager series you'll understand more. But otherwise from that

    - Ultimate Team and the draft is a cool consept that I have spent several hundreds of dollars on over the past years.
    - Playing coop on the same machine online versus others in same errand is back. Great work.

    So to the minus side of the game:

    - The referee is ruined. If you try to pass the keeper with the right stick and get tripped you'll never get a penalty. Never. If you slide in for a perfect tackle in the box the ref will blow his whistle for a penalty 2 out of 3 times.
    - Changing players. If you are defending the player you get while defending is based on luck. While defending a counter attack I've got the CM as often as the CB even if the CM is farther away and far behind the player with the ball.
    - "Play beautiful" is the slogan of this years FIFA. Boy was they wrong. I like to play a possession style football and I usually dominate the matches I play with around 60% possession. That have taken me to second division in FUT. Meeting the "high pressure"-gang I realize I will never go any further. It's a huge exploit, like the speed whoring and high trough-balls was in '15 and '14. This alone makes this game unplayable online.
    - Catch up. If you win or not is not stricktly down to how well you play. I have won the cheapest victories and lost games where I was totally dominating. I know that's how football works some times, but not as often as this. During a FUT season I feel like 7 of the 10 games I play is decided in beforehand.

    Playing with an average team (75 rating) the passing is horrible. Both short passing, through balls etc.
    If you are not Messi, than the CPU will decide where you place the ball. For example a short ball to the left side can go hard to the center of the pitch. A subtly lob through ball will go all the way to the keeper and so on...
    It's just completely random. Manual passing might be an outcome, but if that's how the game is meant to be played, than put it as default setting.
    And the player runs are so so dumb. Please stop making runs for me, I have a button for making runs. Let me decide it, because it fails the way it's implemented now.
    Also with the keepers that rush out, team defenders that kick the ball away when I have the situation under control... why!!?
    If I want the keeper to rush out I'll press the button for this action.

    Launch Fifa 12/13 and you suddenly feel in control again. You decide what happends on the pitch and not EA.

    And then there is the AI...
    Profesional still way to easy. World class is cheating.

    Worst FIFA ever. Pass assistance is useless and dumb. AI doesn't know how to defend. Very bad gameplay. Don't buy the game at full price. On Legendary level the opponent's AI is extremely smart because they know what you're doing on your controller, while your team's AI are really stupid so it's like one player vs legendary AI team.

    SCRIPTING IS HERE T STAY.

    Everytime I win 5 times in a row I will lose/draw the next 2 games because my defender will insist on passing the ball to the opponents' midfielder. When I get the chance to shoot one of my player will try their best to block my shot. One time my centre back made 3 scissor kicks clearance where a normal header would suffice resulting in 1 goal since none of the    SCRIPTING IS HERE T STAY.

    Usually I try to change the formation which is a lot of work for me and the scripting reduce a bit. It does not work all the time and when that happens I just stop playing wishing they forgot my winning streak.

    You know you are scripted when your passes to your winger will go over the line just when your player about to get it. When you passing is like the pitch is full of water ad the ball is hardly moving. When your trough balls end up at their goal keeper or fantastic ball but to the offside player. And since when a winger dribble across the pitch just to make a pass to a full back who is in my own half when the striker is in the clear?

    Conclusion, FIFA is bad for experienced players. It was good the first week of release to con people into thinking the scripting is over.    … Expand

    1. Dribble and possesion is ridiculously hard. The ball is totally a cheese ball and you will never control the ball even you use Messi.
    2. Sprint run, another joke: CR7 with one puch joystick spring run, can be stopped by any defender. Yes I mean any, no matter how slow the defender is, just push B and CR7 will die.

    Worst Fifa ever, only graphics is good, there is no point playing online, each game fully scripted, super humans goalkeepers, ball going through the legs of players, light shots end up to be super powerful, strong ones too light, penalties out of nowhere ( I was 2:0 up in one game and got 2 penalties on the row and end up loosing 2:3), players boom-ping on each other.This game muchWorst Fifa ever, only graphics is good, there is no point playing online, each game fully scripted, super humans goalkeepers, ball going through the legs of players, light shots end up to be super powerful, strong ones too light, penalties out of nowhere ( I was 2:0 up in one game and got 2 penalties on the row and end up loosing 2:3), players boom-ping on each other.This game much more like some pinball style game not a football.

Although this is nothing compared to the actual game play, while trying to switch players more time than not the AI will switch to a completly random player on the pitch instead of the nearest to the ball or anyone even close to the ball allowing your opponent to rather easily walk the ball up the pitch and into the net. Passing just seems to go anywhere no matter what direction or weight to the pass you have put in at one point tried to play a pass up the left wing from half way line and the player turned and played it across to my RB giving the ball away in the process and leading to a goal. Terrible game that offers nothing more than any previous Fifa that we all had to hand over 75 euro for aswell. Rip off… Expand

    Absolute rubbish i will never purchase a FIFA game again until they remove this BLATANT scripting/handicap/momentum they consistently deny thinking we are mugs. PES 2016 still has some scripting but nowhere near this noobish level. This is for kids who speny mummys money on FUT coins thinkign it improves their chances on winning, PES is the only football game for adults.

    Horrible game. A 10 year old soccer player has better fundamental skills than the pros have in this game. Somehow EA was able to take whatever was broken with fifa 15 and make it worse. Maybe they should hire people who actually have some kind of knowledge in the sport.

    ik vind fifa 16 mooi maar snelheid probleem en soms speelt de cpu vals doordat het scripted is. Overtredingen worden niet bestraf maar als jezelf een kleine botsing veroorzaakt krijg je snel penal tegen...

    Worst football game I've ever played. The passing is complete and utter sh*t, the players have a first touch equivalent to a 5 year old and the referee's are cheats. All of this results in it being ridiculously hard to score and conceding stupid goals. Avoid at all costs

    FIFA 15 was a huge disappointment for me and instead of playing it for a year (like I used to do with previous renditions) I buried it on the shelf right after I finished a bitter review. FIFA 16 showed up at my door with flowers and we worked things out. Casual gamer may not notice all the tweaks (i.e. more responsive defenders and better AI), but for me they were invaluable as they helped to rebalance the gameplay and made the game enjoyable again.

    This is a year in which FIFA switches down a gear in terms of pure speed, yet provides marathons' worth of value, if you have the stamina for it. [Christmas 2015, p68]

    The most challenging FIFA to master in years, if not ever - but that's exactly why you'll be playing it for ten months rather than ten matches. [Dec 2015, p.76]
