    Fifa 16 is littered with: Red cards for no reason, Penalties for no reason, 90th minute goals, glitches & poor passing.... The greatest of these problems is the passing, It's now impossible to perfectly aim or weight a pass so all that happens through the duration of a game is constant turn over of possession as the only way to string even 2 passes together is pure lady luck.

    To sum up the game does have some great new features and innovations, however these are far outweighed by the bad in the game (and boy there is a lot of bad).    … Expand

    FIFA is only licenses....And marketing....Gameplay its all that matters and this year PES 2016 on the pitch is better. More realistic....

    Ultimate team is the same. I can see it being utterly pointless to play unless you buy the big sweaty over-powered, high profile players like ronaldo and hazard.
    This title is all about harvesting cash for EA.    … Expand

They keep hold of the ball for as long as they can without moving it up the field, and because they are the computer, they make no human error so its frustrating playing on a high difficulty, but playing on an easy difficulty is boring. Overall this game is boring, as you can tell by my review. Over than Pro Clubs and the official licensing I don't recommend this game, save your money and buy something else as there isn't much fun to be had here.… Expand

    Fifa16... well lets just say so far, it's pedestrian at best. There are some noticeable improvements that have been added this year such as the FUT draft, pre season tournaments in career mode, no touch dribbling, Female athletes, and what seems to be a generally slower pace which makes the game more realistic.

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

    Here an honest review which is not biased. I've played FIFA every year since FIFA 11.
    Positives:
    - This game feels more realistic (not paced orientated) than last year for sure which is a positive. - Driven Pass makes games faster when used properly - Good soundtrack. Negatives: - Offline has near to no new options other than pre-season tournaments and training - Ultimate team is    Here an honest review which is not biased.

    - Good soundtrack.

    Negatives:
    - Offline has near to no new options other than pre-season tournaments and training
    - Ultimate team is one of the biggest cash grabs I've seen in a game. $20 AUD buys you 10 premium gold packs
    - Terrible servers, disconnecting game more frequently this year in game that have just started?
    - Can't use women team in any modes other than kick-off
    - Scripted as **** The game will try and get an opponent to win or you at times to win by just making the keeper a god, making you're strikers disabled or just stupid referee calls.
    - No new leagues (Brazilian league doesn't count because it's in Rest of the World!)

    Is really a cash grab though for Ultimate team and thats the only way you're going to have fun online.    … Expand

    Juego muy lento, puede parecer que estoy jugando PES, muchos errores en la defensa y la forma de juego cada vez es mas aburrida. Los gráficos son pobres, no explotan todo el potencial de la consola y parece que están estancados desde el 2014.

    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.

    The worst aint good enough for the people that made this farce of a soccer game.
    This has been by far the blandest excuse for a fifa game ever.
    They fixed pace by making everyone almost the same pace.
    Passing is horrible and broken and the gameplay mechanics are dated.
    I dont have high hopes for Fifa 17 but it cant be as bad as this poor excuse of a soccer game.

    The same game year-to-year. The developers are focused only on FUT. Single-player is getting forgotten more and more.

    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]
