    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

    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.

    Way better than Fifa 15. The neft to defending hurt the possession game and made it more arcade like, which I don't like.

    Pro clubs need some love and Ultimate team can be laggy at times.

    I hope they don't revert to the fifa 15 style for fifa 17, run the length of the pitch and score goals style.

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

    Even though it is a good game it is coming to end of life unless they change the modes up.

    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 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 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.

    Overall I have enjoyed what I have played of FIFA, the only criticism I can have of EA is that they have played it a little safe this year.    … Expand

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 actually had lots of fun with Fifa 16. It's gameplay is very similar to Fifa 15, but it has some new features like FUT draft, Trainer mode, Women's teams and No touch dribbling. Fifa 16 isn't better than many other soccer games, but it's still pretty fun to play. Yes, the passing need some work, but when you keep on playing it, you won't have a hard time with the passing. It worked for me.

    Good football game but really lacks improvement across the board apart from graphical and the roster update. Too much focus put on putting women in the game, a mode I doubt will get user's too interested. With PES 2016 kicking ass, I see people migrating across to that game more this year. Lucky FIFA has the licence advantage.

    The problem with it is the lack of innovation throughout for a good three years now; it is essentially the same game as the last iteration - except in all honesty the gameplay has took a minor step back and the additions to the title are by and large gimmicky and pointless.

    The biggest problem by some way, however, is that Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 has came from out of nowhere, shrugged off the habit of being woeful every year and is comfortably the better actual football game of the two. While FIFA does have the nice bells and whistles if licencing and stadia etc., it really does get its' arse handed to it on a plate by PES in terms of actual gameplay - and gameplay is always king with sporting titles.

    That said, FIFA Ultimate Team is far, far superior to PES's MyClub, so if that's the mode for you, you'll be best served sticking with FIFA - but be aware you'll be spending money on a feature that is built on gameplay that isn't as good as what you could be enjoying elsewhere.

    It's impossible to review FIFA without mentioning PES, and vice versa, and the ultimate point of a review is to say which is the better game - and this year, without question, it's is PES. FIFA has a lot to do to regain the crown next year.    … Expand

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 revamped passing system falls short unfortunately, though the general direction they have attempted to go with it is a positive, and with a little work could become a key factor should EA choose to persist with the current game engine.
    On the plus side the keepers seem to be more reliable and less prone to unnecessary theatrics, but still there's work to be done in this department, just not as much as in last years offering.

    On the whole FIFA seems to be in limbo with no real direction, and in all truth a solid 5 years behind where it should be at this point, no amount of buzz words or tag lines can reignite the passion to play this painfully outdated franchise, EA unfortunately choose exploit an extremely loyal fan base, which is a real shame, considering they have all the resources and tools to make something exceptional.    … Expand

    Started off promising, a slower game with more focus on passing and build up play with smarter ai so you actually have a midfield. 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.

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

    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.

    Same FIFA game every year since new generation. $60 + tax every year for updating team squads it's a joke. Graphics remained the same and flaws in the dynamics of the game play (passing, physics, and speed).

    I've been playing Fifa for decades and I will put it simple and honest:
    Fifa is moving backwards while the AI/CPU is taking over control of the gameplay.
    EA's focus on realism is taking a huge toll on the gameplay, while they also fail in making the experience more realistic. Playing with an average team (75 rating) the passing is horrible. Both short passing, through balls etc. If    I've been playing Fifa for decades and I will put it simple and honest:

    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.
    Most goals you conceive are impossible to prevent.
    AI sliders help a bit, but com on every year this AI is the same.
    Try to make a challenging AI without cheating EA.

    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.

    I have solely made an account to give a review to FIFA 16. Let me start by saying I've been buying the video game since FIFA '08 and frankly I've never been so disappointed with FIFA. For me it feels that this game has lost its technical aspect of playing FIFA and the number of players I face which just pass to fast players run and shoot has become to many to count and once again FIFAI have solely made an account to give a review to FIFA 16.

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. Ultimately this FIFA has been a disappointment after giving it a go for 2-3 months. Hopefully the next one will be an improvement, but sadly this one has been so bad in so many aspects.… Expand

    FIFA 16 is yet another disappointment in what once was a very good football game. EAs lazyness and lack of creativity means that your playing the same core game since FIFA 12 only with updated rosters and team kits, as it stands PES 2016 is taking back the reigns in style and FIFA is falling behind rapidly.

    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.

    The passing system is hugely flawed, one pass to a person right in front of you will be hit as hard as they can possibly hit it, despite you only tapping the button, and in the other aspect a pass you may have held down a button all the way for to a player that is far away may not make it anywhere near them. 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

    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.
