FIFA 16 Review (PS4/XB1)

10:53 AM - September 22, 2015 by RaychelSnr

FIFA is a game that divides the community like no other. On one hand there’s the online crowd, partly comprised of Ultimate Team fans who prefer a quicker pace and in general, more open gameplay. On the other, there is the offline simulation bunch who like to slow things down (whether it be through changing gameplay sliders or the speed of the game) and play primarily vs the CPU in Career Mode. While there are some who can navigate between both worlds, it’s clear that the two groups have separate ideas of what direction FIFA should take. If early indications are true, it looks like EA has listened to and catered the game to the simulation crowd.

You don't have to play "real" football to win in FIFA.

Based on demo i still think best FIFA game is FIFA 14 (PS4 version). For me this is first year without FIFA since FIFA 07. That's shame, but good if at least someone is liking this year version.

The good and old times are back with PES, just like it was on PS2 time.

Great review. One of the best I've read.

For me, the only major weaknesses of FIFA now is the tactical depth and the defending. Tactical defending works well enough online but it sucks playing against the CPU on World Class or higher. Overall, my only real major disappointment with FIFA 16 is that it's not a great experience against the CPU for these two reasons.

One thing I'm shocked about is just how well they've balanced the online play. I've seen zero exploits so far. The gameplay is still too end to end for my tastes, but that says more about the nature of multiplayer than anything else.

The only other thing I'd say is man I wish they'd really put some effort into making CM a deeper experience.

And to all those who don't think the game deserves I higher grade than PES, I'd argue that while PES might make the better first impression, and I think PES's current foundation might have a higher ceiling than FIFA's (and that's a big maybe), PES 2016 has too many flaws that pop-up the more you play. Flaws with keeping, defensive AI, shooting, animations, passing, and all the non-gameplay stuff, keep PES 2016 from being really great. I'll be keeping my PES copy, hoping Konami make some good fixes (and actually come out with a roster update this year).

I've played the trial, game-play is much better than last but not enough of an improvement to convince me to buy the game full price this year. I've tried getting into UT and season but I just cannot for some reason. The only mode in Fifa that I play is Manager Mode but the changes from last year to this year are pretty minimal, the preseason tournament is a gimmick and the player training enough imo.

I'll wait until the game goes on sale to buy.

Having played both, it's hard to rate FIFA higher than PES this year, or even last year.

What game did you play? It was certainly not FIFA 16 mate.
How come the FIFA community itself considers this as a PES 2014 like stain on the franchise and you praise it so much? Yeah, it's your opinion, but how can you enjoy a game where ALL teams play passing around the back?
