    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!

    Not much to say apart from the fact that EA won’t bother changing anything to suit its game players.

    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.

    Игра - парадокс, вроде ненавидишь разработчиков, за то что эти пидары пытаются из года в год вытянуть все бабки из игроков, но, сука, нет достойной альтернативы, и приходиться играть в эту помойку, потому-что любишь футбол.Игра - парадокс, вроде ненавидишь разработчиков, за то что эти пидары пытаются из года в год вытянуть все бабки из игроков, но, сука, нет достойной альтернативы, и приходиться играть в эту помойку, потому-что любишь футбол.

    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.

    EA up to their usual exploits. Fifa points are over priced. The games mechanics feel old and useless. Career mode is neglected once again and all the AI seems to care about is possession. I don't expect Aston villa to hold the ball like barcelona. Shambles of a game

    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

    FIFA 16 is the worst soccer game in the recent times. I wasted my money for this piece of crap. The game is completely broken. Wrong switching, wrong passes, etc....You name it.

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.

    Take care.    … Expand

    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.
