"FIFA 16 may be the best solution, this year, for anyone looking for a football sim on the PC platform. This is mostly a result of its competition being a very bad port for PC and EA Sports playing it safe when it comes to the franchise. There might not be vast improvements from its predecessor, but FIFA 16 does have some, resulting in a game that is an awful lot of fun to play." ...Read full review

It has improved everything that was poor made in FIFA 15, added new modes to FUT and career mode. It's fluid, slower which makes it realistic and the visuals are great.

After FIFA 15, great game so far!

Positioning is the key for this game. FIFA 16 is a game that, you have to play with ball in the midfield. If you are a risk taker in a serious amount, get ready to lose lots of matches.

You have to be very patient and make the right call. Losing the ball in 2nd area mostly result conceding a goal.

You cannot take the ball through midfield to the forward, just because your player is fast. You need to hide the ball watch the (mostly the second) defenders and do your trick.

The thing that I like is the passing. Players have to turn their faces in order to make a smooth pass. Crossing is not easy like the old games if you have a defender next to you, it is better to pass it back or a fancy trick to feint the defender.

Knowing every single button on your joystick gives you a huge advantage. You cannot go into penalty area easily just because you know using the right stick. It is better to read in game button commands. Just do not cry if you do not want to.

I almost forgot, running at the first half with full speed will cause you to play with zero stamina at the end of 20 minutes. This feature helped me a lot against only runner players. I score mostly after the minute of 75. Just put your team on defensive stance, focus on defending like a boss and watch your opponent tear at the end of the game.

Game has some negative sides which can be seen on other games. However, you cannot exploit lots of things and it is a good game in my opinion.… Expand

Well, another year another FIFA. Every year I play this game and I think to myself: " this game can be much better". I don't know why EAWell, another year another FIFA. Every year I play this game and I think to myself: " this game can be much better". I don't know why EA keeping such low standards. The graphics is the same as fifa 15, and the gameplay is pretty much the same except it is slower this time and that's a good thing in my opinion.
Positive:
+ It's still fifa... the same formula that we get each year.
+The gameplay is slower, in my opinion that's a good thing.
+Cool celebrations

Negatives:
- As to release, there are some bugs that I believe will be fixed:
* I can see the power of the shot/pass of my opponent
* the names of the player displayed having the ball sometimes are incorrect
- The movement of the players still feels unnatural and clumsy
- Goalkeepers are still very bad (!). Especially on one on one situation, they don't slide towards the ball (the same problem was in Fifa 15)

If you never played fifa, than its 6/10, slightly above average, but if you are like me, playing fifa each year (I started with fifa 01) than its 4/10 - Fifa 15 with players updated to their current teams.

Thanks for reading my review.… Expand

If your are like me, you where itching to buy the new game to try it...BUT I"M WARNING YOU. DON"T SPENT MONEY, OR WAIT WHEN IT IS VERY CHEAP.If your are like me, you where itching to buy the new game to try it...BUT I"M WARNING YOU. DON"T SPENT MONEY, OR WAIT WHEN IT IS VERY CHEAP. We don't love FIFA, we love the potential FIFA has, remember that before buying. People with bad reviews are the die hard players, the good ones are from people who played 10 hours and than bought a shooter, or are little kids. Let me explain.

The game engine dictates if you will win or not.....Yes, sounds strange right? First there are random passes, See 2 guys free, it sometimes passes to a defender not in the screen. Than you have the the passes are not consistent. Sometimes they will be passed in front of the player sometimes behind the player, sometimes to nobody. And I'm a great passer, prefer to play without assistant, but online it is impossible to win in the higher leagues. Fouls can be very random. Shooting, sometimes it is hard, sometimes i pressed the button longer and am in the same position, but is a weak shot. Another thing ALL BUGGS FROM FIFA 13,14,15 ARE STILL IN THE GAME. Didn't improve a thing. Basically they changed the player stats, made them look a bit nicer, added a new passing feature that is far from being finished, made strength more important than speed (a 90 speed player can be outrun by a 45 speed defender?????) and they had a new game.

Online you ask?? Same problems, plus a lot more! People still abondon the match and you will not get the points. But there is something new. The engine has a huge error somewhere that disconnects you during a game (average 1 in 5 games sometimes more). EA knows this, but they don't fix it. Like always......

Conclusion, everything they promised to fix, is left alone. Everything they actually try to fix is done in a way that made even worse than it was. The game isn't more real, the game is badly written. This is one of the few games in this age where when you loose while doing everything perfect.... They get that one point for the graphics. Although still a bit outdated for 2015???? Probably saving it for FIFA 17,18,19, because how are they gonna sell the game otherwise.

PS: if you are a football/soccer fan you will not like this game. Every basic move (passing, shooting, controlling, etc.) is messed up. Safe yourself money, time and disappointment and buy a different game. Play beautifull??? it is more play awkward.… Expand

It just gets worse each year. It's at the point now where it's really a footy mgt game without most of the mgt aspect(!) as you have no control over the outcome. You pick the team sheet sure, you have that "freedom". But in reality there's no guarantee an 88 rated player won't have his stats dumbed down to oblivion nor a 52 rated players boosted to Pele status. It seems each players stats just go into some random number generator for the each game, changing perhaps only around the 40-45m mark or 85-90. Very predictabl… Expand
