    I worry for FIFA, I really do. While PES 2016 has improved everything about its predecessor, FIFA 16 is either at a standstill or taken a backwards step, and it has in its last few instalments.

    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

    This game is extremely flawed, sometimes I will play it happily for hours and hours enjoying every game, even if I'm losing, but it is easy to become enthusiastic about this game. 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.This game is extremely flawed, sometimes I will play it happily for hours and hours enjoying every game, even if I'm losing, but it is easy to become enthusiastic about this game. 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

    I play Fifa since 08 and I can assure you. If Fifa 15 was the worst Fifa until last year, Fifa 16 is the king of them all in the realm of nasty games.

Not in result of ypour opponent skills, but for some other reason. In one game your player run through the ball like Usain Bolt, shoot from anywhere with no chance for the weird dumb keeper (nside the box, outside the box, with your back turned to the goal), your keepr looks like a badminton player. But in other games, your player ALWAYS get late to the ball, you can never outrun or at least keep in pace with your theoretically slower opponent (ex: Neymar x Pepe) ans more strangely only by getting a little contact with your opponent, your player is tossed meters away to the floor (with no fault, or penalty given). Its is ABSOLUTYELLY RIDICULOUS! I lost a lot of games in Fifa 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, but never got so angry like in 15, and specially, in 16. On the previous games, I got mad with myself, for a mistake I made, but in Fifa 16 sometimes you have nothing to do, the game is set so you have a CLEAR disadvantage in all key areas of the game (speed, AI positioning, shooting accuracy, player robustness and power when fighting for the ball)… Expand

    EA up to their usual exploits. Fifa points are over priced. The games mechanics feel old and useless. Career mode is neglected once again and all the AI seems to care about is possession. I don't expect Aston villa to hold the ball like barcelona. Shambles of a game

    ONE simple question to the developers: DO THEY PLAY THE GAME?!?!
    Customisation: minimum, can't even change button configuration.
    Practice mode: being taken out for no reasons. Where am I suppose to test new tactics and set pieces?!?!?

    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.

    Another garbage game by EA, repetitive, even the **** graphics are repetitive, game modes are the same as before, this franchise adds so little to new games, that it should be a DLC

    Otro año mas y un nuevo y excelente Fifa de la mano de EA Sports. El juego es soberbio y tiene como de costumbre a muchas licencias, como a la Premier League totalmente licensiada. Un juegazo que los amantes del deporte rey no pueden perderse.

    Aunque en el modo un jugador mantiene la misma formula que años anteriores y parece no haber cambios mas que las plantillas, el modo online trae nuevas funciones que me parecieron muy buenas, en general este videojuego me hizo pasar, como de costumbre, horas y horas de diversión.

    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.

    I'll be brief... it's not a bad game but there's a lot of things to take care of and polish... the competitor is strong and they have to wake up.

    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.

    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]
