As for technical stats, wingers usually have good crossing and curve stats, making them ideal chance creators for your team. They can also have good dribbling stats too. Thanks to all this, the idea of having two scouted wingers and a scouted target man up front is now a genuine reality (as long as the target man can head the ball - see the physically strong section). In the past, scouted wingers would usually have pace in the 60s (or early 70s if you were incredibly lucky), meaning you had to rely on regens if you were looking for fast players. Happily, that should now be a thing of the past.

 

As one has come to expect , there is, of course, an iterative finesse to this year's graphical fidelity. While not wholesale by any means, the players' animations and general likenesses are improved upon noticeably, with better lighting, recognition of events throughout the match, and more diverse celebratory actions. It is important that your player crossing the ball is on his stronger foot and if possible, is facing towards the area he is crossing or at least on an angle to it. This will result in the optimum accuracy for the cross. Running parallel to the area is also good if you want to whip an out-swinging ball away from the goalkeeper.

 

The crowds now do the Mexican wave, too, if that's something worth waxing lyrical about - we're sure the minds behind the 1986 World Cup are thrilled about its inclusion. What's a far more welcome addition, though, and one that's frankly taken far too long to enact, is the incorporation of Women's football into the package. Well, just a selection of international teams for the minute. Seemingly diverging from the beaten track momentarily, EA Sports has admirably taken some care in creating this new facet of the game, it's not simply a tacked-on rehash, void of originality or any discernible traits. It actually feels refreshing and is a sure-fire sign that things are going in the right direction.

 

The most high profile innovation in the new iteration, and one which EA deserve praise for, is the introduction of women’s teams. Granted, this extends only to a dozen countries, with no club teams available, but it is a long overdue offering and adds variety to proceedings. Encounters in the midfield are not as packed as in the men’s game, freeing up space, and success depends on a short, quick passing game rather than exploiting pace. FIFA 16 app is now available for Android and iOS devices and many people are getting to grips with the new edition. This is an extremely popular app and it might be interesting to see how the experience compares on two different top devices. We’re sharing a video showing FIFA 16 UT gameplay on the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ vs. iPhone 6 Plus. The video we have for you today shows it on the Galaxy S6 Edge+ against the iPhone 6 Plus.

 

Of course, Ultimate team gets a makeover, this time with Ultimate Team Draft, a mode than allows you to pick formations, and a team from a draw of five players, then playing in a series of four matches. Winning four matches in a row nets you some serious rewards, including packs and coins. It’s simple, but bloody addictive, and we can see this mode becoming popular online, although it’ll be interesting to see how EA iterates on this for FIFA 17. Career mode also sees the introduction of pre-season tournaments that have prize money. While they obviously let you tinker with your roster before the start of the season, the pre-season competitions are also a great way to earn transfer money. Winning one can get you up to $10 million in funds before the end of the transfer window. Good enough for securing the services of a decent player.

 

The biggest stumbling block is that it costs a fair bit to enter - 15,000 coins, although you do get a free pass when you start playing - but you're given a choice of five top players in every position, before taking part in quick, four-game tournaments either online or in single-player. FIFA 16 is undoubtedly an impressive beast of a game that's stuffed with official leagues and licenses, game modes and other little touches that add flavor to the match day experience.
