The passing system has been changed in such a fashion that means that there is virtually no difference between the passing success rate of Lionel Messi and Accrington's right-back. In addition, in an attempt to market the defence as having got 'smarter', they've in fact just stopped the attackers making any runs.

    This game ultimately has the feel of a game that's development team's work-experience spent 10 minutes making the gameplay from scratch, and the dev team spent the rest of the budget on graphics.

    Again, EA's annual pattern of making a game one year where pace is everything, and the gameplay is very quick (FIFA 15), and the following year, making one that is impossible to make any attacking moves without a few hours of frustration as your players have been stripped of their pace (FIFA 16), is costly detrimental to the enjoyment of actually bothering to play the game in the first place.

    Now don't get me wrong, frustration is bound to occur once you are 3-0 down inside 20 minutes at home to a fellow user that is *clearly* cheating, but EA's '16 title has the bitter-tasting characteristic of giving you that very feeling, when you are winning.

    In addition, you have to question the scoring pattern of the Critic Reviews, when, at the time of writing, not a single one of them has given a negative review. Comparatively, the user's, again at the time of writing, had scored 195 negative reviews, with an average score of 4.6/10, which is a diabolical rating for a game with as much financial backing at this.

    Like I say, I'm disappointed to find this to be the case, as I buy the game every year, but if you made a league table out of the FIFA games from over the years, this year's edition would struggle to make it out of the bottom three, when really, given the financial strength of it's board, it should be aiming for a title challenge.

Put a legend in your team or have too good a team and suddenly you like like the under 9s Sunday squad. While the bronze team you are playing against plays like Ronaldo, Messi, Pele, & Zidane.

Whenever they improve something, they will always make something else worse. It has happened far too many times for me to count, and after all these years I have had enough. On fifa 15, shooting, defending, passing, heading and goalkeeping were rubbish. On this fifa, they improved defending, heading and goalkeeping, but they absolutely obliterated the pace and they have only just made shooting and passing worse. All you can do is defend and rely on your goalkeeper all the time, and that is it. You cannot do anything in attack, because the pace, shooting and passing is so terrible. I do not understand why they can not just program all these stats to be as good as each other, why does it have to be one stat mattering more than the other? It should not be like that at all, it is pathetic from a multi-billionaire company like EA.
    Then they have absolutely ruined skill games, I can not even tell you how bad skill games are now. Now, you have to switch favourite clubs in order to select a different player instead of being able to switch arena players. So because I selected Man United as my favourite club (because I am a Man United supporter), if I want to switch to a player such as Hulk, I have to go and change my favourite club to Zenit, so it is a longer process to switch players! They are so lucky that they made favourite club changes unlimited, because if they had made them limited to 5 times or something like that, then they will have absolutely destroyed the skill games. And this brings me on to playing the skill games with Hulk. I played Advanced Shooting with Hulk (because I loved that skill game on fifa 15), and when I try and score a long shot, Hulk's shooting feels as if I am trying to chip the goalkeeper or lob pass to nobody, his shooting is that powerless, and it has got to be powerful considering he has 94 bloody shot power! It is absolutely terrible, and when I try to dribble past the CPU defense, the camera view is so terrible and I can barely see what I am doing or where I am shooting! It is complete and utter rubbish and EA may as well have left skill games the way it was, there was absolutely no point of changing it up in the way they did!
    Then EA still do not care about their single player modes, and that is why they never ever mention them making any improvements on these modes, they just care about the online modes because they care about money more than their fans, and finally the servers are STILL A BIG LOAD OF RUBBISH, WHEN WILL THEY EVER IMPROVE THE BLOODY SERVERS?!?! It is just ridiculous! All these years of playing FIFA on xbox one, yet they still CANNOT IMPROVE THEIR SERVERS!!!! It is almost as if they do not care about their games, let alone their fans, they just want to make money off FIFA points, their TOTWs and even their stupid adverts! It is pathetic and if things do not change, then I will turn my back on FIFA for good, just like I did with Call of Duty after that dreadful Black Ops 3 multiplayer beta, and I do not just say this as a joke, I actually mean it!

I don't want a game where pace is everything, but I want 90+ pace players to feel like they actually have a significantly higher pace than someone with around 70 pace. In this game, pace is 100% meaningless.
    Now shooting. Shooting is okay...sometimes. Finesse shots are the way to go, long finesse shots especially. Any other type is futile as the keeper will probably just punch it out for a corner. Corners are a good mix of Fifa 14 and 15 though. Not too easy not too hard. Free kicks are almost the exact same as Fifa 15, driven shots are defiantly the way to go. Sweating is easy just as long as there is a good pass.
    Which brings me to the most painful part of the game. Passing is pitiful. Ive used high rated players in draft and low rated in regular ultimate. Both are very very bad. It's not that their inaccurate, but that the players do not move to the ball. This makes defenders easily intercept passes.
    Defending is quite easy in this game. Due to the fact everyone is so slow, all you have to do is wait for a bad touch and tackle. Goalies are decent, they defiantly don't make as many stupid errors like in the previous game. They are not as easily ran around and they challenge well on breakaways.
    All around, if you are a die hard Fifa fan, get the game just because it's what everyone will be playing. If you are a casual gamer or are thinking abut getting into the Fifa series, do yourself a favor and wait until next year or just get Fifa 15.    … Expand

    Firstly, let me emphasize that the only thing that still keeps the FIFA series in competition with PES is its much broader licensing of football leagues and teams. All the more surprising that this year EA did not even bother to add any new leagues to its game. There is still no Greek league (14th strongest in Europe), Czech league (13th strongest) and even no Ukrainian league (7th (!)Firstly, let me emphasize that the only thing that still keeps the FIFA series in competition with PES is its much broader licensing of football leagues and teams. All the more surprising that this year EA did not even bother to add any new leagues to its game. There is still no Greek league (14th strongest in Europe), Czech league (13th strongest) and even no Ukrainian league (7th (!) strongest), whose Shakhtar Donetsk play in the Champions League knockout phase almost every year. As for national teams, Chinese and Canadian national teams were added, while the national team of South Korea has been removed for some reason. EA is a huge corporation with an annual net income of almost billion of dollars and why they would not spend a few dollars on licensing to add at least three more major European leagues to its game is just beyond me. Just this example of stinginess from EA is enough to decrease the final score of the game by five points.
    As for gameplay, it is repulsive, nauseating and simply depressing for a game of 2015. I do not play the Ultimate Team, although it is the most popular mode in FIFA, because I do not wish to give any more of my money to EA other than 59.99 plus sales tax for the game itself (which is too much already). I play mostly career mode on World Class difficulty. No matter what you do, you have a constant feeling that a result of a match does not depend on your actions and your skills. Even teams from the Football League Second Division maintain ball possession like they are FC Barcelona, they very rarely make passing mistakes, and its players score some incredible one-touch volleys from a distance of 35 meters. Your players, however, cannot even dream of scoring from such distances ever, they have better chances to send a ball to the Moon than to a back of the net. Also, you are lucky if your through-ball passes go to a player you intend them to go 50% of the time and even luckier if they indeed reach your target 20% of the time. AI players of your team almost never do what every normal football player with a brain would do in a specific situation. For example, my teammates never, not a single time, in all the matches I played opened up for a ground cross. Skill moves and tricks are a disaster, as four times out of five your player does something completely different from what you intended to do. And I can come up with dozens of situations like this. Particular attention deserve those moments when your team is losing on the 81st minute of the game, a rival player goes with the ball to a corner flag, and you spend eight minutes trying to take it from him. Moments like this show better than anything what a failure FIFA 16 is. It is as frustrating as it can get in a sports game.
    I must admit that graphics indeed are amazing, and it is the only thing that keeps improving from year to year. But, as you perfectly know, not a single person buys a sports game for its graphics. For graphics, people watch the real-world football matches.
    Music is an absolute nightmare as it has been in all FIFA editions since 2002 (can't assess earlier versions as I have not played them). Why nobody in EA Sports even thought of putting some classic rock, or jazz, or some kind of music back from the days when you still could listen to it without your ears bleeding. Every year I just go to settings and turn off all the so-called songs that there are. I think at least in one PC edition of FIFA, you could create your own soundtrack list, but, unfortunately, this idea, as most of the good ideas in EA, it did not live on.
    In conclusion, after three weeks of suffering, I returned the game to GameStop. My score for graphics is 9, for league licensing 4, for gameplay 2, and for music 0. Overall, my score is 3 out of 10. FIFA 16 is another great example of why EA is a video game company with the worst reputation of them all.    … Expand

For example when You pass from one to another, the one who should get the pass will be standing or even run more further from the ball. While the opponent will get to the ball first. There are actually no pros in this game. It's a ripoff. FIFA is like NFS when PES is like Gran Truism.… Expand

    EA. There are two things I don't want to do with your game: 1. I don't want to buy your packs. 2. I don't want to play on my own.

    These are the only two things I can do on your game. Please sort this out by adding a connected career mode - then I would feel less like you just wanted all my money.

    How can people give this game a 10!!? Seriously? Fanboys are one thing but looks like EA have resorted to buying reviews now as this game is desperately bad. Shallow and scripted worse than ever so you're barely in control of the outcome. I'd give it a 2...doesn't deserve zero but have to give it that to counteract all the biased fanboy reviews

    They have broken the game more than before. Pass system is so inconsistent, you never know when or how to make a successful pass.

    Shooting has been ruined as well. If you want to score a good goal, this time you have to curl the shot with the finesse, otherwise you only score standard cheap ones.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've been a Fifa player for years. I've been around since the Xbox arcade versions of the game, played through the biggest increase in gameplay and been through the best and worst that EA have thrown onto their tagline franchise. I'm afraid this year, that is going to come to an end. I have been through several years of change, and EA going for more realism has not helped. The company and the brand have gone downhill over the last few years, an have brought their game down with it. I have fallen out of the love with the franchise. Here's how.

    In Fifa 16, there are 4 game modes which you will probably ever play: Ultimate Team; EA's money pit and a hive for micro-transactions which gamers ended up switching to buying through third party mechanisms which give better value for money, career mode; a massively unsaturated game mode with through-the-roof potential, pro clubs; same story as career mode, this is the co-op mode where you and a group of friends can make a team and play your way to the top, and seasons; for those who want to just do this on their own and play the game the way it was meant to be played.

    The first game mode is Ultimate Team. This is the most popular game mode due to its online gameplay and team customisation (which is pretty limited anyway). This is where you buy players using in-game coins earned through matches and micro-transactions, be it legit or illegit. The gameplay is fast and flaired compared to other game modes, and is the main hub for online play. Obvious drawback: It is almost completely Pay2Win. It has been proven. It doesn't help either that the servers have a flicker switch for whether they work or not. It has given EA a bad reputation over the last few years.

    Career mode is the main offline mode, with its dominant sub-section being manager mode, where you be the manager of a real life team and buy players who will make your team as good as possible. But due to the coding of the game, this group is limited to a select few talented youngsters. The coding for this game is the downfall of any player who wants to play the mode towards the end of the 15 season span: From personal experience, the game gets completely broken in its latter stages. One beloved return to this mode is player training, where you can train individual players how you want to using a special mode called 'skill games'. These are minigames you play to train a player in certain attributes. This can be extremely powerful or even OP, but lovable as it brings fun to the out-of-game portion of career mode. In-game? It is a broken mess. The AI is hideously volatile and horrible to play against, and drags all of the fun out of the game. Luckily you can simulate matches, but heck, that feature is broken as well, using RNG to determine the winner, mostly.
    Along with the manager mode, you have a player career, which is similar to manager mode but you play as a created player and build up to become one of the best in the game. From other player's experiences, this game mode is heavily limited with little replayability due to a lack of features due to neglect from the developers.

    The last 2 game modes are less popular than these two, mainly because they are even less saturated and are even quoted as 'neglected'. If you are a seasoned player of either of these modes, especially pro clubs, will seem like a downgrade from the previous years, but still enjoyable to an extent, as it attempts to make these game modes less important to ply gamers to their main cash cow.

    Main positives: The visuals are stunning, the character models are sharp and realistic, and the game has polish. However, almost all of this was added from Fifa 15. the graphics have had a slight improvement this year, but not enough to make a difference. Sometimes I don't even know if I'm playing a different game because they both look exactly the same. The art design is exactly the same in match, with the exception of the menus and smaller other tweaks, The game has very little immersion, this was done better last year which was helped better by smoother gameplay and condensed audio. The game has many bugs and glitches that can be seen very early into the gaming experience. This is in part due to the terrible AI which make offline modes unplayable. If you don't have online modes available, don't buy this game.

    As a standalone game, it is a decent effort, it is a decent sports game, containing some pretty interesting gameplay which has good replayability. But if you compare the game to its predecessors, to other games in the same genre made b other companies such as 2k and Konami, the game has taken a step in the wrong direction. The game doesn't feel complete, it is definitely for the common denominator, it will make you rage in ways you couldn't think you could manage, this game isn't worth anywhere near £50. This should be DLC attached onto the last game because that's how minimal the changes are. Luckily, I didn't buy the game. Good thinking there.    … Expand

This however is also its weakness, to some the slower pace is a welcome addition which makes the games less likely to become a sprinting match and more a build up. For myself the game isn't long enough to have a slow build up and honestly it just isn't fun constantly running around trying to win a ball while it is ping ponged around the field. It's like Playing Barcelona with their possession game every match. It gets boring annoying after a while. Another fault is when in Pro clubs in fifa 15 even at their most terrible the computer was able to put together a bunch of good passes when you asked for it, so far it is embarrassingly poor. Ill put this down though to possibly not fully adapting to the new play style yet. Honestly fifa 15 was just more fun plain and simple, if these features were included in 15 it would be the better entries in the series.… Expand

    Sadly Fifa 16 is almost identical to Fifa 15, with the addition of women's International football, an added feint skill button which I just don't find useful at all and a power pass button that actually does bring a different dimension to the game when used correctly.

    With yet again clunky game play, static receivers from passes, bad refereeing decisions (consistently), poor AI of players going forward and sometimes with a ball that has a mind of it's own, the game can leave you feeling aggravated or even cheated sometimes.
    I don't feel EA can justify charging £42 for a game that has so little improvement from last years release, it feels as though Fifa 16 could have just been a DLC for Fifa 15 but it was released as a new game for profit.

    FUT is probably the main selling point along with the club branding rights, so my view on FUT is this:
    I enjoyed it at first, it's like a mini game, building your card stack feels quite rewarding and getting those rare cards can sometimes make you shout out "get in there", but when playing a match, those players don't make that much of a difference than you think they would (maybe I'm just rubbish at Fifa ha).... pace is most noticeable, and when that inch perfect though ball actually does look perfect, the defender will blatantly jump in front of your running player stopping him in his tracks and going unpunished, it is called obstruction ref!? (this will happen in all game modes vs AI).
    Players will clash and (being generous) 90% of the time your player will come off worse, this could be a player with brute strength and balance vs a much weaker opponent. Then if the opposition doesn't put you on the deck, maybe your own player will, this also happens a lot where your AI teammate will just collide with you or just stand in you path.
    Another thing is overpowered goalkeepers in the box, they seem to get on the end of every cross and smother the ball all to easily from your feet, they are difficult to round in a one on one situation and almost impossible to lob. That being said I don't mind the goalkeepers like this I can live with it but some people might get annoyed and I can see why.

    Career mode is the same as last year in all fairness, it just has a more glossy menu, the ability to do 5 training sessions a week and you get to keep a percentage of your transfer money to carry over from season to season.
    Training is another one I got bored with quickly, luckily we have a simulate all option which is good for upgrading player attributes with a small boost.

    All in all, Fifa 16 is a game you can have fun with for a while but the cons outweigh the pros in this game and it becomes very frustrating, even winning matches can still leave you frustrated.

    Good points:
    Graphics, power pass button, FUT draft team, glossier menu overview, 2 year loan deals in career mode and enjoyable pro clubs multiplayer.
    All club branding rights.

    Bad:
    Players fall over from tussling with AI controlled players constantly no matter what their attributes. Some attributes don't reflect the performance on the pitch and feels very robotic, poor ball control, lack of AI intelligence (when on human team), rough cinematic and glitches at times, very inconsistent referee decisions, inaccurate passing, over powered goalkeepers, and the most annoying of all them is players just keep falling over!    … Expand

    This is the exact same game as FIFA 15. It is ridiculous they can relabel a game, and change the gameplay sliders, then sell it again for $60. The gaming industry needs some regulation. This is basically theft.

    It took me awhile to get used to the new gameplay that fits a different type of playstyle, but once I did I realized this is an improvement over Fifa 15. With the addition of much improved AI, a driven ground pass, and no-touch dribbling, this year's game favors players who know how to pass around and outsmart their opponents. Women's national teams are also a welcome addition.

    So, a new year, a new football season and a new Fifa. FIFA 16 is here and having played for a week and a half, it's occurred to me that the best games in all genres are those that feel satisfying after pushing you to your limits. This is why FIFA 16 is the most fun and refreshing FIFA in years.

FIFA 16 is here and having played for a week and a half, it's occurred to me that the best games in all genres are those that feel satisfying after pushing you to your limits. This is why FIFA 16 is the most fun and refreshing FIFA in years.

    Oh sure, one can argue the earlier games were more fun when you could take Wilfried Zaha and make mince meat out of lumbering centre-backs like Per Mertesacker. But earlier FIFAs were too easy. Pace could be exploited and the game always felt that the winner would be those who had the highest acceleration and sprint speed. FIFA 15 introduced strength adding physicality, but EA have nailed it this years, with players sprinting for the ball in intense, physical jostling that doesn't feel out of place. The whole game is much harder. This is down to much better defensive AI who can read the game better, make more interceptions, and can mark their man better, with just enough mistakes in their game to give you the opportunity to run up to the camera and point to your shirt name. But, goalkeepers are hard to get past, making good reflex saves, even if they come too much for corners. People lament this lack of pace for bringing he game down, but by using the game's natural systems and improving using features, such as the driven pass, the game rewards you for getting better, and punishes you for making fatal mistakes. This is what football is, and the new small features of chants, player stories and new touches and animations, as well as the usual great graphics make it feel immersive for the first time. The game manages to get those emotions you feel watching football, the unrivalled joy of a cupset, the crushing defeat of a loss. It does all of this, and that is what makes FIFA 16 fun.
    Modes have been given slight tweaks which were needed. Career Mode feels much fresher with training being the highlight, preventing any growth issues in your players. Pre-season Tournaments add to this, but with too many headline transfers occurring, it still needs a bit of refinement. Ultimate Team's new mode, FUT Draft, is a great venture, tasking you with winning as many games as you can in a 4 game stretch without losing with the same players picked randomly. It' a fantastic mode which challenges you and lets you play with the best with Messi, Ronaldo, Aguero, Bale, Hazard and other class talent that can be selected. Whilst online modes and other offline modes still need a few tweaks, you can't help but feel EA have managed to breath life into tiring modes that are the most popular.
    I can't sing all of the game's praises though as that is not fair. For one, the crossing had to be tuned down, but it's a point where a perfect chance for a Drogba-esque header turns into a cross ballooned out on the other side for a throw in. It's gone from overpowered to underpowered. Also, whilst mistakes are necessary, it is still a little frustrating to see your Goalkeeper get caught in no man's land at a set piece, or a centre back lose control of the ball for the opposing striker to pounce upon. In addition, Online Servers have been lagging in every match I have played. Whether this is my fault or not remains to be seen, but the fact I don't know is a problem. And finally, the first year for women's football, while okay, could have been better. With friendly matches, online and a tournament as your options, it feels restricted and hopefully, it will open up to see the English WSL and a few more nations.
    FIFA 16 adverts rave about playing beautiful. The game's challenge to the player is simple: Play well enough to win the game. And whilst you may be frustrated at first as I was, you'll soon find yourself relishing the challenge of that tricky away game against a top side. This is football, this is what it means to be challenged in gaming, and FIFA 16 succeeds as you will be challenged. That is how football games should be.    … Expand

The old saying of "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" was obviously not thought about during the testing and creating of Fifa 16's gameplay at all.

I also CANNOT stand for the realistic nature of the computer constantly passing the ball back to and around it's defense to make it more like real life. AGAIN, this is still just a video game and most people who play Fifa only set the half lengths between 5-8 mins. No one has time to waste on the computer playing wink-dinky-Manchester United-Style possession scenes. It's **** aggravating. Lastly, the catalog....where we can purchase cool cleats and sweet ball bundles....where did all of the possibilities go that Fifa 15 had? Sure there's plenty of historic kits, celebrations, and training packs for your players but how can I customize my players to look better then their default look? C'mob EA, you can do better than that. I'm sure, instead of sitting around the last month before launch, you could've made some of these indicative additions like the ones you could earn from Fifa 15 onto 16 instead of playing pingpong in the break room and smoke pot in the bathroom.

    It took me awhile to get used to the new gameplay that fits a different type of playstyle, but once I did I realized this is an improvement over Fifa 15. With the addition of much improved AI, a driven ground pass, and no-touch dribbling, this year's game favors players who know how to pass around and outsmart their opponents. Women's national teams are also a welcome addition.

    Juego al que le queda todavía mucho por pulir aunque se arreglan algunos grandes fallos de entregas anteriores.El Ultimate Team debería de mejorar mucho respecto a entregas anteriores.Una de las cosas buenas de este juego es la reducción de velocidad en jugadores,ya no es un "corre calles" como lo era antes.

    Good sound, good graphics, but little innovation and change since FIFA 15. FIFA is good, but it hardly changed from the last game with every yearly release.

    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]
