    This game is good coming from a handheld FIFA game player, from the presentation and stadium licensees, the only downside is the gameplay in terms of AI is not working great on your side but against you is pretty good. I think people don't like because is pretty much the same as previous FIFA PS4 releases but for a first-time player on a bigger console is pretty good and addictive to play.

    Comparándolo con la anterior entrega, mas de lo mismo. El Soundtrack está decente y la inclusión del futbol femenino lo vale. Pero el juego en sí es un copypast del fifa 15.

    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.

    I did not buy a FIFA since FIFA 10, but because I wanted to compete Online a bit, I tried FIFA 16, and I had fun like I had with FIFA 10. But I am honestly really disappointed that this franchise does not evolve over all the years. It has the licences that Pro Evolution Soccer does not have and that is their Joker. I don't think I will play a new FIFA unless EA really improves their games.

    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.

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.

    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.

The game is designed to entice you into playing Ultimate Team which is to be expected considering it is the most popular game mode on the game, however how EA treat their fans and players is simply disgusting. Ultimate Team is essentially at its core a funnel to force players into spending more money on FIFA Points to spend on packs or the FUT draft. Purchasing FIFA points could be a solid investment if you were guaranteed to get the kinds of players who are the best in the game however the chances of getting the best players in the game is so low that it is not at all worth the money. In addition to the low chances of packing the best players they also introduce weekly "special cards" which improve the stats of players depending on their real life performances but these cards are entirely separate from their original cards meaning if, for example Lukaku scored a hat-trick in a game and you had him in your club, your card wouldn't be upgraded but instead you would have to either pay the real money to try and pack him or buy him off the market. The actual gameplay of the game isn't too bad and could be made very good with some small tweaks but with how EA treat their fans and community I cannot recommend this game.… 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.

    Take care.    … Expand

    How do you **** up a game, whichs basic formula works since 20 years? We all know that EA constantly decreases its quality but with this game they hit a new low. If you are a fan of the FIFA series you might want to skip this one. First FIFA game with a negative metacritic. That should tell you more then me listing ALL THE THINGS THEY TRIED TO IMPROVE BUT ****ED UP HEAVILY within this game.

EA have noticed this, and now the game mode is totally built around trying to get you to spend money on FIFA points. Honestly it should be criminal.

    There are no redeeming features to this game. Usually I put hundreds of hours into FIFA, playing thousands of games. This year I gave up completely before Christmas - and I know many others have said the same thing.

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

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.

    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

    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.

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.

To bad that the commentators are retarded and that when the very expected ladies teams the sound seems to come from a local red-neck arena.

    This game is supposed to be fun, but it's not. Comparing to PES, the UI design is much better and the game modes is supposed to be attractive (FUT). However, too much BS in the game-play ruins everything.

    After the update patches, the game again regained the spot as the great soccer game that usually is. They corrected the penalties, the tempo, the speed of the players... now it's good. Unfortunely, the damage has already been made.

    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.

    In the end a very uninspiring game EA can't be proud of.

They took an excellent (admittedly a bit too fast-paced) game in Fifa 15, and bogged it down with a sorry attempt at 'realism'. Then, when players with less hand to eye coordination, inadequate passing skills, and computer programmed defense beat me, I struggle to refrain from breaking my 3rd controller on the ground. Yet, for some sick, twisted reason, I can't stop playing. Congratulations EA, you've created a game so outrageously terrible, I've become addicted to the emotional ride.

Example 1: Messi and/or Ronaldo score everything but when you're in a handicapped match (a.k.a. computer decides that you have to lose) they become slow, can't shoot or are tanks when turning. Slow defenders can keep up with them. Example 2: At the end of a match you have 15 shots and your opponent has 2 shots. He wins 2-1. All shots went straight to the keeper (altough you where shooting finesse shots) or are not even going towards targets. Example 3: You are in divisions and need 1 point for promotion in 4 matches. You have a hard time collecting that 1 point for promotion. Probably losing 3 and drawing 1. Example 4: Iniesta, Modric and Bruyne can't pass, not even towards a teammate 2 feet away whilst the opponent can pass with Ramires from his own goal towards the other side of the field. These are some examples of the fine handicap this game is invested with. So, if you like a game that decides beforehand if you should win a match or not then buy this. You won't regret this!… Expand

    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.

    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.

    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.
