    A great story mode and superb presentation, but gameplay clearly lags behind PES. [Dec 2016, p.70]

    While the game is amazing at its core, it's beset by infuriating bugs. The Journey shows promise, but drags on too long, becoming a dull grind before it comes to a close. It's a good start for FIFA on its new engine, there are too many kinks that have yet to be worked out.

    I liken this year’s football shootout to musicians. In the current season, FIFA is like Madonna – aging but venerable, full of glitz and entertainment value, but ultimately lacking substance. Contrarily, PES is like a fiery independent singer, with minimal flash but much deeper soul where it counts most. In the end, both performers might put a smile on gamers’ faces, but FIFA’s bloat and wrinkles are beginning to show, especially with a younger, hungrier upstart nipping at its heels.

    Game is getting **** every year, what a **** cancerous game. Run to the box, press L2, the opponnent can't defend because the retarded AIGame is getting **** every year, what a **** cancerous game. Run to the box, press L2, the opponnent can't defend because the retarded AI can't go around a player, shoot with your back to the goal and still score. Full Review »
