    The improvements to FIFA 16 this year are notable in some areas but as a whole it’s starting to feel like the series is getting stagnant, with too much effort being put toward expanding revenue sources rather than delivering innovation that would appeal to a wider audience. Despite that, it's still the most reliable and consistent sports gaming franchise and that holds a lot of weight in the minds of consumers. With FIFA 16, you know you’re playing a really good game, but you might not completely believe it as much as in the past.

    Overall, the core of a highly successful soccer game is in FIFA 16 but there's a niggling sense of "been there, done that," alongside a healthy dollop of "coulda shoulda woulda" that gets in the way. It's just a bit too safe and predictable. FIFA is still the Cup winner, but PES 2016 has made this annual Friendly a more heated affair.

    FIFA has PES beaten when it comes to attention to presentational detail and atmosphere, but maybe that isn't enough anymore. For flowing football, though, you should look elsewhere. [Issue#130, p.71]

    Beaten to the ball. A frustrating but undeniably well put together package.

    Let's put it in football terms: PES = modern, continental manager. FIFA = Mike Bassett. Like Liverpool, FIFA has talent, but it could be a long road back to contention.

    FIFA 16 is an incremental improvement, but with legacy issues still plaguing the on-field action the changes feel hollow in light of PES 2016's overwhelming turnaround.

    The complete package is as substantial as ever, and those who’ve acclimatised to FIFA’s play style in recent years will likely consider itThe complete package is as substantial as ever, and those who’ve acclimatised to FIFA’s play style in recent years will likely consider it good enough. But in the face of much stronger competition, ‘good enough’ might not actually be good enough. With its biggest rival matching its dynamism and beating it for fluidity and responsiveness, EA Sports has work to do if FIFA is to regain its title as king of the digital sport.… Full Review »

    I have played FIFA since the days of fifa 98, and its unfortunate for me to say this years fifa has been a massive let down. The fact it seemsI have played FIFA since the days of fifa 98, and its unfortunate for me to say this years fifa has been a massive let down. The fact it seems to be a remake of fifa 15, with a few new things added which makes it feel like you have spent £40 on what feels like dlc for fifa 15. The main thing that stood out to me within my first few games is the poor physics and the terrible passing. I use to be an avid fan of the ultimate team series, brilliant concept with a challenge to find the best players but after about 2 games, the feeling of boredom overwhelms me and i need to play something else. For me a video game should be wanting you more and more and more. this game does not do it for me. Poor show EA.… Full Review »
