It's tiki-taka and that's no bad thing

FIFA 16 reacted extremely well to the increasing challenge posed by Konami with PES. This year's edition fixes all the shortcomings of FIFA 15 while introducing more features and authenticity to the game; in short, FIFA 16 is still the king of football games, at least for another year.

Positive steps and a good game, but nothing more

With EA reworking much of FIFA's gameplay and mechanics, there are going to be FIFA fans who will struggle initially when playing the game. Personally, I welcome the change in mechanics. I haven't struggled with the game, though the legendary setting is slightly more challenging than it was in FIFA 15. Overall FIFA 16 is a very good game, and an improvement on last year's offering.

Annual update of the beautiful game is a winner.

در نهایت باید اعتراف کرد ، FIFA 16 کم ایراد ترین و متعادل ترین فیفا ساخته شده تا به امروز بحساب می آید و می توان از آن به عنوان بهترین شبیه ساز فوتبالی سال 2016 نیز یاد کرد . بازی به طرز قابل تحسینی ، تعادل سرعت را به بازی ارائه داده است و دیگر مانند قبل شاهد یک شکل بودن حملات و یا تاثیر غیر منطقی بازیکنان سرعتی نیستیم و براساس استراتژی خود کاملا می توانیم یک طرح هدفمند را ارائه دهیم . فیفا کماکان می تواند بهترین شبیه ساز در سبک خود لقب گیرد اما نباید فراموش کنیم ، این بهترین بودن همچنان ناشی از فرمول خلق شده در نسل هفتم است و بازی در نسخه 2017 ، نیاز به تحولی اساسی در گرافیک ، انیمیشن ها و فیزیک خواهد داشت و این موضوع بدون تغییر یا ارتقا انجین حاصل نخواهد شد .

Having women's soccer is a welcome addition to the FIFA 16 formula, which continues to have the advantage as far as its bells and whistles beyond the play on the pitch. Changes with defense and passing also improve the core gameplay though it still feels the same overall. One thing's for sure, the series will really need to step up its game next year if it wants to fend off its surging competitor.

FIFA 16 has a few nice additions, but failure to fix some of the franchise's ongoing problems, along with a massive focus on FUT leaves it feeling stale; especially seeing as PES seems to be scoring highly in reviews.

Where last year's game sometimes felt like a non-stop shooting gallery with blazing ping-pong action across the entire field, this year's game more closely follows the pace of a typical real-life match. And that's a good thing.

Overlooking a number of flaws, FIFA 16 does an incredible job representing soccer. However, once again, FIFA still doesn't innovate enough, with familiarity in gameplay and irritating issues recurring again from previous games.

To say that FIFA 16 is a return to form may very well be one of the biggest understatements of the year.

Don't be fooled, the positives might have outweighed the negatives in terms of word-count on the previous page, but FIFA 16 still has room for improvement.

Calling FIFA 16 a bad game would be an unfair remark, as the game is incredibly fun and well-made, but it’s simply very safe in nature, which will be very noticeable for returning players, where the game offers a slightly less exciting rendition compared to last year’s stellar release. None the less, FIFA 16 is still a very solid title, albeit a bit Messi (horrible pun intended.)

FIFA 16 is light on sweeping changes but heavy on refinement, building an excellent new foundation for EA's football series.

FIFA 16 is an excellent football game, but while the gameplay tweaks and minor improvements make it the best FIFA yet, the limited scope of new additions and modes make it feel like EA has missed an opportunity to completely establish itself as the king of the football sim.

Something of a return to form after 15, but sooner rather than later EA will need to stop re-arranging pieces of their existing code and actually develop a properly new and substantial FIFA engine.

FIFA 16 is a series of successful iterations over the last couple of seasons that pays off nicely while not doing any one thing so incredibly well that it serves as a singular selling point. The flow of the game is improved, there are new modes and the presentation is excellent. All solid improvements over an already very good game that fans of the series will no doubt enjoy, but aside from the very generous (and not before time) inclusion of women, this one doesn't offer anything to be blown away by.

With so much content on offer, both old and new, alongside its many accessibility options, it's still hard not to recommend FIFA to footy fans of all ages and skill levels.

Despite these niggles, FIFA 16 brings exciting football to life and being able to control the ball better and run at defenders with confidence makes for some thrilling game time. As expected with FIFA - the soundtrack is appropriately diverse and appealing, and there isn't any noticeable lag online yet either. It's a worthy step-up from FIFA 15 by fine-tuning small aspects of the game, but not compromising the formula fans have grown to love.

Still the best football game you can buy for your rig, but FIFA 16 feels unambitious.
