FIFA 16 Standard Edition - PlayStation 4

I went into this purchase hesitantly, wondering how much of an improvement might it be over Fifa 15. But playing a few rounds totally cleared my doubt with the super rich graphics and improved gameplay. Absolutely recommended!

The graphics and update from the previous version is just great

Messi is the best now I can be Messi too love it get it

Simply put, FIFA continues to be an amazing game. Sure PES has gotten better, but to become a true part of the Global Game, you need the licenses. FIFA delivers that and more. The defenses have gotten much better, even on the easier levels of difficulty. You will burn yourself silly by trying to take possession. It's not as easy as it was. You must work to get the ball back. My only issues with the game are: - Commentary is getting stale. I know it's Martin Tyler, but we need more info to be spewed. Give me more options. I would pay an easy $10 more to get Ray Hudson on here calling La Liga games. - Access to other languages besides English and Spanish. I want to play a Bundesliga game with German in the background. Stuff like that. - I really like the licenses that FIFA has piled up, but there should be an option for people to purchases more leagues and teams. I would pay an easy $40 to get 20 more leagues or so and more international teams. Because of this, some international teams are missing quality players (example: Peru is missing Pablo Guerrero because he plays for a Brazilian club. So you can't even have him on the international squad.) - Like the direction that FIFA went in getting the girls involved. The next step is to get some leagues. I would start with some of the European ones and the US one.

Overall the game is good and if you are on the fence about buying it, I would say go for it if you want a realistic experience but don't expect it to be fun all the time, as always the controls and dynamics can be frustrating. I'Il break down into the good and the bad. The Good: - the new training features in career mode where you actually play the mini games that would pop up before matches is a much welcomed change. - Addition of the womens team was done well. Although you can't play with them against the men's teams or in some online game modes it only allows these teams to be better enjoyed. - Dribbling the ball is more realistic than ever making offense more enjoyable. -Goals are much more satisfying albeit less frequent. Bad: - The game is much slower from previous titles. - Defense is harder to play than ever before, because its easier to dribble the defense feels much less effective, I often find that I should have taken the ball away easily and yet they managed to get away too easily - Unfortunately, slide tackles are still weak and nearly every player regardless of ability is able to stay up after being slide tackled. - Passing and through balls don't feel as effective and crisp anymore, often times I find the wrong person is receiving the ball or tracking it down. As a veteran FIFA player I know this is nothing new to the series but I feel that this year it hasn't been fixed yet although recent patches might have helped with this a little bit. - There is only one gamemode that isn't developed all the way for the womens teams. - The introduction of the new FUT mode is interesting but feels like EA is trying to charge consumers to play the game they already bought unlike the traditional FUT, to access this mode you need to pay with an excessive amount of coins or real money. This is a new trend in many titles and it is highly unwelcome. ( I paid for a full game and I don't want to be inhibited in my ability to play it without paying more money)

With FIFA16 there are some minor graphical improvements, the addition of women teams, and the great variety of licenses and game modes the series is known for. However, with an overhaul to the passing system, as well as improved AI (especially the goalkeeper), some of the fans became divided on the game. In contrast to FIFA15, you can't just rush with a striker and score (unless you're playing on the lowest difficulties). This, to me, is a needed improvement as it calls for a bit more strategy when it comes to scoring. For those who have yet to play a game in the FIFA series and those FIFA15 fans taken a back by the new way to play, there is a fantastic training mode that will greatly help bring you up to speed. Lastly, the Fifa ultimate team is back and in my opinion, the most fun mode the game has to offer. I highly recommend this game to soccer fans as this game does get a lot right, especially in it's presentation.

Do you remember how Madden 09 changed the way Madden is played? Well, to me FIFA 16 is that reincarnation the series has needed. Gone are the days of PACE. You needn't worry so much about how fast your players are if you can pass the ball effectively. You don't have to worry so much about nooby players always playing through balls on the counter all game either. It's just not as much of an arcade sim as it's been the last few years. If you are having trouble at first, it's probably because you are trying to run too much or too far with one player. The defense will catch you. Learn to pass accurately and changing field is never a bad thing either to put your opponent off a little bit. All in all, if you've been sick and tired of the super fast players running away with games and feeling like there is little to no tactical advantage of strong/passing players this is the FIFA for you.

FIFA 16 - owned the 14 and skipped the 15. FIFA 16 is amazing. Awesome controls and life like graphics are a real treat. The best part of this buying experience is the fact that 1) Bestbuy had a buy 2 get 1 free sale - these blu-ray discs are virtually scratch resistant so it's well worth waiting and buying pre-owned games and 2) all three games that I ordered as part of this purchase looked absolutely brand new! I love buying all of my electronic needs at Bestbuy, including pre-owned, gently used and carefully inspected, games. Thank you, Bestbuy! $10 a piece for three blockbusters!
