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

    Passing is broken, defense system works great but if you are playing on world class you wont touch the ball for 20 straight minutes. Gameplay overall is the least fun part of the game, the rest of It is fun, but hasn't changed a bit in the last few years. I've never had so little fun playing a fifa game before.

    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.

    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]
