    Graphics, Ball Physics, Licenses: Good. But, non-existent learning curve, I feel still the
    script controlling my game. This is very very bad.
    I agree : Since fifa 12/13 , nothing has been made ​​to make this game better.

    Yet more scripted nonsense from EA. 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 PeleYet more scripted nonsense from EA.

    El mejor juego de fútbol de esta generación, todo mejorado con respecto a su antecesor fifa 15. Fisicas, defensa, porteros. y el modo FUT Draft es un modo nuevo e innovador con el que divertirse jugando. Si te gusta el fútbol real, este es tu juego. Si te gustan los arcades, mejor juega a PES 16.

    This year will be a wake up call for EA Sports. Fifa is a good game, but people want to see every year more changes, more leagues, more new things. you can't live forever on your past success.    … Expand

    Like, seriously. Same as last year, with a new skin and a few crummy features. The AI isn't anything dramatically different. It's just tweaked to me your players move slower, slowing down play to emphasize this year's theme of "playing passing football."

    Arcadish gameplay, need a new engine. EA loves to release day one patches to drastically change the gameplay and the game becomes a UT client, dont buy it if u like the demo, before u spend some money try the full retail game with the day one patch.

    Stodgy mechanics; dodgy shooting; player models that inhabit too much space, making collisions more likely. FIFA 16 can do one. It's PES for me this year. Oh, and FIFA points are outrageously priced.

    We've had Nick Channon bleating on about balance every damn interview he does, and it's just tedious having to listen.

    What a scam, EA. Shame on you.

    An improvement on last year's iteration, but still very arcadey. The game prioritises high-scoring, over-the-top action, instead of focusing on the fundamentals of football such as the midfield battle and defence. Subsequently, we are left with a game that is entirely unable to recreate the rhythms and cadences of a real football match.
    Perhaps one for the casuals.

Dunno if it's planned to be fixed but right now football itself feels like crazy merry-go-round without sence of game at all. After three games online I even dunno how to get back to the game.

    Other stuff is pretty solid for FIFA series, starting from OST, ending with cool single player career mode. But everything won't be important without pace fixing, that's how I see.    … Expand

    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

    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.

    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

    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.
