FIFA 15 goalkeepers were a marked improvement over the goalkeepers in FIFA 14, but they often made stupid mistakes that allowed goals that simply shouldn't have happened. In FIFA 16 the keepers are smarter taking better positions for shots on goal and in my experience keepers are more aggressive in FIFA 16. Instead of allowing a lobbed ball to let an attacker get a one-on-one situation, there are many times where the goalkeeper will come out and get the ball, even outside of the box. With FIFA 16 you have more control over a shot, and if you try to strike the shot on your first touch there is a bigger chance that it will go wild. There’s only so much talk of how well so-and-so did at the World Cup you can really take from Martin Tyler and Alan Smith.

 

It’s also tedious to hear the same things over and over again.There are a lot of new FIFA 16 controls and features that you need to learn how to use. Additionally if you aren't a master of FIFA 15, you still have a lot to learn about playing FIFA 16 to your full potential. This would be a welcome addition to FIFA. Pro Evo once trialed diving, and it was a bit lame. However, this could be FIFA’s equivalent, and it would actually make things a lot more realistic for the gamer. The work rates of the player for both defense and attack must be set to ‘High’ to be an Engine. Though the Stamina needs to be 86, it is important to note that he cannot have both Engine and Poacher specialties together.

 

Having the Engine Speciality will give the player an injection of stamina that can’t be matched on the field of play. He will run up and join attacks as well as get back to quench the counterattacking effort by your opponent. This trait simply requires a player to have Curve 80 and Crossing 86 for their stats. Having the Crosser specialty will allow players to swing accurate crosses to their forward or simply catch the defense off guard. Scoring from a cross in FIFA isn’t particularly fun or satisfying. It’s a functional goal. Tweaks have been made not only to how crosses are delivered but more importantly to the types of runs players make into the box. There’s much more variety, with players going deep or running to the near post, and it means that the potential for beautiful and spectacular goals is increased as a result.

 

There’s also more variety in defending with fake tackles, in air tackles and brand new slide tackles that you can even branch out of if you over commit. Team-mates will also have better awareness of dangerous situations and will work hard to track back and cover gaps. Exchanging FC Credits for hundreds of items can be made possible in the EASFC Catalogue which is a kind of store. For UT, you can buy “super” 99 contracts for your players, increase the maximum number of squads, change the club’s name, receive coin bonuses, and even increase the targets and transfer lists. Items you purchased from previous FIFA games cannot be transferred as the catalogue varies from game to game.

 

In FUT 14 and FUT 15, it is too difficult to get to division 1. However, when you start FUT 16, you will be relegated to division 10. Everyone does. When starting a new FIFA, all tournaments and season titles will be lost. So, Fifa has had ball physics for ages, but now Channon says his team is modeling the interaction between the foot and the ball in 3D space - thereby leading to more emergent behaviors as one meets the other. What does that mean? Well, if you hit the ball from a slight angle your player is more likely to get their foot around it, adding extra spin and therefore giving it a curved flight. In this year’s Career Mode, you will take part in a possible three out of nine pre-season tournaments from across the world, in such locations as Latin America, Europe, Asia and North America.

 

You can use this time to test player lineups and overall strategy before the season kicks off. Meanwhile, prize money goes towards making transfers during the season. Speaking of which, unused money carries over to next season, with the amount affected by the number of season goals. EA also increased short loans from three to six months, with the chance to go after two-year loans, and during friendlies, you’re able to take advantage of unlimited substitutions. Hardcore and casual FUT (FIFA Ultimate Team) players have much to look forward to. EA will add more legends to the current roster of 56, including George Best, Gennaro Gattuso and Alessandro Nesta; be sure to pair these players with others of the same nationality to improve Legend Chemistry.
