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

    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. Also the network built around FIFA is highly unstable with breaking profiles, FUT crashes, unstable online matches etc. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this game is so slow and weird there is no momentum, plain chaos all the time, i can never dribble or run fast, the game seems at the same slow speed throughout the game and its very annoying. every player movement is same u cant tell who are u playing with jus from playing cuz the style is same. messi neymar ronaldo robben are all so slow even though htey have high agility and speed. ea **** up this time bad its like every 2nd fifa is good just like the windows versions… 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.

    I skipped fifa 15 because nothing has really changed from fifa 14. I bought 16 expecting that i will experience something new but i was wrong it's still feels just like fifa 14 although a bit slower. I should've bought pes if not for the **** goalkeepers.

    Ugh where should I start? Ive been playing FIFA Football games from 2002 and I can boast being a pro player for this game playing on legendary without a hassle. I play mostly Offline on Career Mode cause Im not into EA's FUT BS and can i say, playing it after a while gets really frustrating and boring playing different tier teams that has the same kind of footballing style.

    I've had played low tier teams to the top tier and they all play the same possession football , dominating possession by at least 60% to 70% all the time hardly even getting a shot at goal luckily even getting any, and they always seem to frustrate me with this as it makes the game boring for a lil minute game chasing the ball around the pitch for the entire game! And they ALWAYS frustrate me with the LB To RB long ball passes cross the pitch. FACEPALM , the game just lacks diversity.

    Referee making horrendous calls for fouls ranging from FKs to PKs. The referees Inability to call an advantage after a foul is just horrible, you'll be 1 on 1 with the GK after dribbling past the last defender and the foul is then called! You have scored the game winner, a spectacular goal ! Only to know its called back for a foul against you .Very late offside calls, not for goals scored but deeper in the field. Referees also makes stupid offside calls that is redundant as you have not interfered with the play or haven't even touched the ball! And STILL no calls for back passing to the GK ; and don't let me get on to the scripting part!

    The AI always seem to have an advantage over you in every way playing on World Class or Legendary, its as if attributes doesn't matter anymore, every player plays the same. A low rated CB will play like Sergio Ramos as they will out strength you, outpace you and at least 95% of the time they never miss a tackle, no matter how agile your player is they are agile just as you do. A low rated CM will play like a hybrid, a mix of CB, CDM and Xavi. They hardly miss interceptions , they know your every move everywhere you go! They have a high passing rate as well completing at least 90% of their passes. They have made significant changes to the GKs saving abilities, but, they took it just too far, too good being very unrealistic. The GKs are super humans as they make impossible diving catching saves with their elastic arms catching majority of your crosses and corners no matter the power. Most matches I've played GK tend to make 10-18 saves in a match despite even turning down GK ability sliders to 35.

    Another Fifa series and they still haven't made major changes to Career Mode to let it be intriguing and makes you feel part of the game of being a Manager, there is no individual reward system really to let you make history just like the Football Manager Games where that you have a Fifa Ballon D Or or PFA Player a the year,squad of the year, best youngster, U 17, U 20 World Cups etc if you play the Football Manager series you'll understand more. But otherwise from that

    Literally this game is 'Stress', so if you are stress dont think to play this game as it will get worse.    … Expand

    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 will try to explain my opinion but my English is poor :)

    I'm Fifa fan for many years. Casual player to start, I buy now Fifa every year since 2008 ! I am very disappointed with Fifa 16 :( It's not longer possible to play in the verticality of the field. As soon as you make a long pass, it's ALWAYS intercepted by a defender. It's impossible to make more than 3 following passes    I will try to explain my opinion but my English is poor :)

    I am very disappointed with Fifa 16 :(

    It's not longer possible to play in the verticality of the field.
    As soon as you make a long pass, it's ALWAYS intercepted by a defender.
    It's impossible to make more than 3 following passes without the ball is intercepted.

    Thus, players like Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi are no longer able to notice the presence of a defender on his back and anticipate to receive the ball in the feet ... a defender goes ahead and cuts the ball trajectory EVERY TIME !

    The referee blows anything.
    This causes a lot of penalty that should not.

    The referee does not allow the advantages and breaks the relaunch of the ball.
    If there is a small fault committed, he have to leave the advantage (in the real football).
    But NO !!!! He whistles and it breaks the game !!!
    The decisions of the referee are really strange and illogical !!!

    However, when the last defender commits a hard foul on the striker who goes alone to the goal, the referee do not give the red card ... and sometimes it does not whistle ! It's to become crazy !!!!

    The game speed was reduced, I find that very void and dull.

    Sometimes, the stats of the players seem not to be considered.
    Indeed, you go through on goal with Lionel Messi, you are 15 meters ahead, ... the defender back on you (bronze defender with a rating of 60 !!!!) and he takes the ball :/

    For the gameplay :
    Sometimes I slightly press triangle to make a pass in the stride of another player ==> the ball is sent to 10 Km ...
    Sometimes I press hard on the triangle button to make a long beautifull pass ==> the ball is sent to 10cm ...
    It's the same with the pass button (X) and the shoot button (O)
    I don't understand the mechanic of the game. It looks like it is random

    I played 17 years in football, I watch football regularly on TV, I know the rules, ... but I think that Fifa deviates more and more from reality (gameplay, rules, ...).

    A graphic point of view : it is shamefull that some players from big teams are not better modeled !!!
    Loot the players like "Dries Mertens" from NAPOLI or "Nainggolan" from AS ROMA, ... compare with their true face and you'll understand :(

    I already thought to sell the game.

    My colleague put his fist in the PS4 console because the game has pissed.

    I hope my English is understandable.    … Expand

    - I didn't ONCE got a advantage when an opponent made a foul. Even if the ball passes on to a team mate standing in a perfect scoring spot, the referee will still call the free-kick and stops the play. He's very happy to hand out penalties as well. Just retarded like the rest of the players in the way they behave.

    - When defending and calling for an extra player using R1, nothing happens. At least not defending wise. But you will see players making strange runs instead, pretty much destroying the organization of your defence while making sure he cant pass the ball backwards even though his about to shoot on goal. So use R1 with care or just not at all. It might be related to all the scripting, even though EA claims not to be using any. But it FEELS that you control 20%, rest is pre-made and so god damm annoying.

    Passing is broken, players are so slow and clumsy - feeel like moveing a heavy truck around etc.

    BUT!! The gameplay sucks big time!! So clumsy, ugly, unflowing and boring. It seems to me, that EA tried to make a "build up" kind of a gameplay like PES have, but the task is far from done. The matches are not beautiful and entertaining like PES 15 - 16 is, its nothing like like when it comes to the gameplay. It's really a shame, cause most of the other things in the game are pretty good. Things like co-op online seasons, FUT, PRO and more. I'll guess EA still have time to patch this gameplay problem, but when you are going from playing PES 15 to this, you just want to throw it away and buy PES 16 instead. The only bad thing about PES 16 is that there is no co-op online matches and the failure of license. But that being said, PES 16's gameplay is waaaaaay better than Fifa 16's. It's very entertaining, beautiful and challenging at the same time.

    The sad thing is, that the gameplay seemed alot better on the demo. I really dont get how EA have patched this game to the worse.

    For you that is unsure wich game you gonna buy, this is my suggestion:
    If you want it for the mods like FUT and the social part, and you don't care much about the gameplay, FIFA 16 is for you.
    If you want a game that is specialized in gameplay, and you don't care about the lack of co-op online, and lacks of license of a couple of teams then PES 16 is definatly for you.

    My decision: Buying both. Playing PES as my primary game, and only playing FIFA 16 for the social part.    … Expand

    Usually I try to change the formation which is a lot of work for me and the scripting reduce a bit. It does not work all the time and when that happens I just stop playing wishing they forgot my winning streak.

    You know you are scripted when your passes to your winger will go over the line just when your player about to get it. When you passing is like the pitch is full of water ad the ball is hardly moving. When your trough balls end up at their goal keeper or fantastic ball but to the offside player. And since when a winger dribble across the pitch just to make a pass to a full back who is in my own half when the striker is in the clear?

    Conclusion, FIFA is bad for experienced players. It was good the first week of release to con people into thinking the scripting is over.    … Expand

Simple things such as trying to select the right player becomes controller breakingly annoying, the game auto switching you even when you have it on manual, and not allowing you to control the player on the end of your cross.

    The game is incredibly slow paced, weighed down by the sluggish passing. The non-existent opponent 'AI' means you are playing against the same team every time. Trying to add useless features such as 'no touch dribbling' has further bogged down the already convoluted control system, with one button providing 3 or 4 functions before adding on trigger button toggles.

    The addition of scripting for the AI to go into some kind of Fergie Time mode at the end of each half and usually scoring from a corner of free kick is incredibly frustrating especially if you have just controlled the game for the other 80 minutes.

    Every time EA try to add realism they just make it less so, and less fun to play, players take 4 or 5 touches to turn, cant make simple 5 yard passes, the game literally stops you playing certain passes, its so annoying when you want to pass to feet and it passes it like a through ball. The game over all is just incredibly frustrating. Im playing and winning on legendary, the frustration of the game is not the difficulty, its in its restrictive nature, EAs inability to balance different aspects of the game will always lead to them nerfing some things into the ground leaving everything else strong, resulting in extremely monotonous game play.    … Expand

    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

    no hay juego tan aburrido, asqueroso y demoniaco como este, es la misma basura que el 15,14,13,12,11 etc. Me venden la misma mierda con una portada diferente y permito que el hobbit de Messi y cristiano el bastardo se llenen de dinero mientras yo juego con esta porqueria

    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!

    How this game got postive reviews from critics I will never understand. Same FIFA that has been sold to us year on year. Ultimate team online is nothing short of a disgrace. First off the only way to build a half decent team is to either spend the next 5 months of your life playing non stop or give them more money on top of the 75 euro you have just paid them.

First off the only way to build a half decent team is to either spend the next 5 months of your life playing non stop or give them more money on top of the 75 euro you have just paid them. Although this is nothing compared to the actual game play, while trying to switch players more time than not the AI will switch to a completly random player on the pitch instead of the nearest to the ball or anyone even close to the ball allowing your opponent to rather easily walk the ball up the pitch and into the net. Passing just seems to go anywhere no matter what direction or weight to the pass you have put in at one point tried to play a pass up the left wing from half way line and the player turned and played it across to my RB giving the ball away in the process and leading to a goal. Terrible game that offers nothing more than any previous Fifa that we all had to hand over 75 euro for aswell. Rip off… 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.

    This is a year in which FIFA switches down a gear in terms of pure speed, yet provides marathons' worth of value, if you have the stamina for it. [Christmas 2015, p68]

    The most challenging FIFA to master in years, if not ever - but that's exactly why you'll be playing it for ten months rather than ten matches. [Dec 2015, p.76]
