    Very good game so far.

    Draft Mode is kinda hard, because you dont get the tokens in every pack. i hope they make draft for free and not for 15.000 coins, its kinda hard to be honest to win all 4 games. because good gamers will play the draft mode all the time to win the packs, after winning it they should receive nothing and leave draft mode for the weak players. and please make better trophys like make 100 ultimate team matches or achieve 50% in pro club, make it to division 3 atleast to win a trophy because the thophys in fifa 16 arent that funny to make. i liked how they changed the passing, its not x x x x anymore, you need to use ur brain for the pass. shooting is a little bit to weak in my opinion but its okay i will get used to. pes has a little better gameplay with passing and shooting but the keepers and everything else is better in fifa. better package so i go with fifa this year. improve the graphics and a little bit the passing and the shooting and pes cant even reach you. its a really good game and see you next year.    … Expand

    All my friends have split opinions about the new FIFA. They did make it a lot harder to score in 16. Sometimes you just gonna draw games. That's how it is, but when you score a goal you will get that feeling of: "hey! I accomplished something here." It's a lot more about skill, not so much luck anymore.

    It's funny how many of the reviewers seem to exist only to give FIFA low score and PES a high one Lol.
    FIFA 16 is a very solid game, probably the best football game ever made. The demo felt a bit sluggish, but the actual game is much better. For anyone looking for a real football experience, FIFA 16 is the way to go.

    The negative reviews on this game must be from all the players who used to just use Messi/Ronaldo and hold the sprint button down. I enjoy the gameplay of this iteration of Fifa much more than the prior several years because if forces you to actually plan your attacks and then execute.

It is satisfactory to see ball hogs without patience and knowledge of the game stumbling to shine. This enables more people who actually love the real sport and have wisdom of tactical gameplay to flourish and thrive. The game looks so much like real football that i was astounded at watching a champions league game and notice the game flowed very much like fifa 16. The AI is more intelligent than ever. Investing in a goalkeeper is actually worth it in career this year as is players you would never bother to try out. All because speed and acceleration have lost a lot of value. It makes the game as a whole a joy to play. I love the fact that this game encourages me to explore the many countries and leagues for hidden gems. The training aspect of this game makes it similar to an rpg where you work on certain attributes and increase their usefulness. Instead of using the same old 14 players on my team i focus a lot more on the lesser know players and it is great. This year players who are playing for their country actually leave and make you have to scramble for replacements on your team. It was a much needed feature. The commentating this year is superb and am greatful for the detail they capture on and off the pitch. I am actually playing all the modes as much as the next due to their polish this year even though i have a soft spot for manager mode. I cannot express how satisfied i am with this years fifa and am glad when a speedster transfers to Pes because that game is not what i want in a game or teammates. Fifa 16 is the best simulator game on ps4 if you are looking for realism and awarding moments like the real life game ,don't listen to the naysers and pick this gem up. Not perfect, but oh so close. 9/10… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In all honesty, FIFA 16 is not much different from it's younger sibling that is FIFA 15. Although EA have not brought much to the table, one of the biggest improvements is defending. It allows for the game to move more swiftly and fluently. Furthermore, one is no longer able to run through another individual's defence as people did in FIFA 15, which was just completely aids and made me shed a tear. Pace is also not too significant this year compared to the previous games, and other stats such as strength seem to play a more crucial role. This has been done so that no more twelve year olds can run down the wing with Theo Walcott and cross it into cheeky Remy who is lingering in the box.

    In terms of Ultimate Team, FUT Draft is a disappointment. The reward for winning the initial four games you play in single player are not enough, however it does vary depending on the difficulty you pick.

    Ultimately, FIFA 16 is a slightly improved game from it's predecessor and is a suitable game for a FIFA fan.    … Expand

    Failures in defense and goal of FIFA 15 have been corrected , especially in regard to the keeper , and dependence on fast players is now virtually banished , especially in driving the ball . The rest is history : it is the best. Not perfect , but ... who is in this life? Long live the king.

    FIFA has played it very safe this year.

    They have made enough changes that the gameplay feels new, more difficult to pass the ball, crossing/header feels different and the whole game is more physical. The menu's are still the same from last year, the tried and trusted modes like Ultimate Team, Pro Clubs & Online Seasons are still the same so don't go looking for many changes here.

    The addition of the Draft Mode in FUT is a nice touch, enjoyable to play however the 15,000 coin entry will maybe put some people off later on.

There isn't a great deal of difference in terms of gameplay; besides the fact there is a significant change in the momentum and speed of the game; which for one, I believe has improved as it has levelled the playing field to some extent; which is probably why some people dislike it. "Pace" is no longer the only factor which has been the case for previous FIFA's, but there's a more physcial and passing element to the game which players will have to adapt and get used to. FIFA is an easy game to hate, which is why it receives so much, but it isn't as bad as the majority of 12 year old's claim it to be. I believe players need to see the big picture rather than just splurging a negative review without learning how to play the game properly.… 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.
