    seriously EA? Fix the game-play with the patches or I will boycott the FUT! No more income for you! Fix the fouls (too many fouls). someone walks by me, the bodies touch and it's a foul? It also applies to penalties too. Also fix the passes! Trough ball and lobbed through balls are messed up in fifa16!

    Another year, another rehashed game with slight improvements. I don't know why people keep buying these games when the last game was perfectly fine. You're basically paying $60 for Fifa 15 with slightly better animations, slightly better realism and a slightly better Career Mode.
    Might as well call it Slightly Better Fifa 15 instead of Fifa 16.

    This game sucks ass, you can rarely pass the ball in the direction you want, the referee's make the worst calls you will ever see, you will get kicked from every 2 out of 10 matches which is so frustrating and should not be happening. There is nothing new to this FIFA other than the draft which is ok but other than that this game is so boring that i have actually stopped playing it in lessThis game sucks ass, you can rarely pass the ball in the direction you want, the referee's make the worst calls you will ever see, you will get kicked from every 2 out of 10 matches which is so frustrating and should not be happening.

    In one word - Terrible. I fully regret spending money on this trash. Everything that used to be good about the series has been ruined. Almost unplayable against the UI, which removes absolutely any fun to be had by both being impossible to tackle or disposes, and having an uncanny ability to finish a game with almost 100% passing success. What the hell were EA thinking?! And don't getIn one word - Terrible. I fully regret spending money on this trash. Everything that used to be good about the series has been ruined.

Only a fix or an offer of a refund could salvage my future opinion of the series. Expand

    this game now is pay to win, and it is really expensive.
    Also some Teams are too overrated, it makes the game boring.
    the players use the same teams always, it is monotonous :S

    Right, Fifa 16 is the worst fifa ever made, defense doesn't work, luckiness is a large factor in this terrible game. Fifa 15 is worth playing as the defending works, DO NOT BUY THIS TERRIBLE GAME!

    "Play Beautiful".....hahahaha. More like point and click soccer. FIFA is now just purely written for FUT. And FUT is purely written to milk as much money from new players. The handicapping and scripting on this game is so obvious it's actually hilarious. Will definitely be the last EA game I ever buy as they are not at all in the business of making good games, just money. Got good players,"Play Beautiful".....hahahaha.

Will definitely be the last EA game I ever buy as they are not at all in the business of making good games, just money. Got good players, don't bother they won't play well after three to five games, forcing you to trade for fresh ones, while EA takes 5% of every trade slowly dwindling away your coin reserves until you are forced to pay ridiculous amounts for their packs, where your odds of getting anyone worthwhile are so small you are more likely to have Ronaldo as a best friend than pack him. 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. Overall, the most obvious, corporate, greedy money making program posing as a game I have ever experienced. If you enjoy poker machines you will love FIFA else I suggest wait for PES 2017 it should be awesome. Definitely FIFA's last chance. Expand

    How a stupid game would be like this . Oy 86 rating BBVA players can't pass each other. One superman defender intercept the ball like miracle. Ho such bad passes and crosses woul be in a game?
    some skill lover players like this game and script help this players I think. Goalkeepers can save shoots from 6 m but they cannot save the balls from 35 m?
    I very wonder if any EA developers

    I very wonder if any EA developers play this game again CPU or with each other. I think not.

    When I forward for a goal, some players do very harsh fauls and no any red or yellow cards.

    The concept of the game; make 100% pressing and aggression and make as many sliding tackles and after that dribble with stupid and miracle skill?? moves.

    I do not buy any FIFA games and after seeing this bad and disrespectful game

    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.

    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]
