GREAT GAME FOR ANY AGE NO VIOLENCE, JUST ALL AROUND FUN.

Tech News Today reviewed EA’s recently released FIFA 16 for Xbox 360 and the PS3; Lets find out the improvements made and glitches found in the game this year By: Smith Dalton on Sep 24, 2015 at 9:41 am EST More articles on: Sony Corporation Microsoft Corporation Share on Facebook Share on Twitter follow us in feedly Flip EA’s latest football game FIFA 16 just saw its official release in the North America this Tuesday, 22nd September whilst the game is said to be launched in the European regions today. While others are reviewing FIFA 16 on current-gen consoles, we at TechNewsToday purchased a copy of the game for Xbox 360 and the PS3. It’s obvious that FIFA 16’s current-gen console version differs from the old-gens in almost every matter, especially when it comes to graphics. We tried out FIFA 16 on Xbox 360 earlier today and to be honest, players on the old-gen console look absolutely bullish. It’s depressing to see that even though FIFA 16 is the latest entry in the books, FIFA 15 still has better graphics on the old gen consoles. Footballers in FIFA 16 for Xbox 360 and PS3 look pretty fake, its normal to expect the graphics to be a whole-lot realistic on the current-gen consoles but that doesn’t mean EA shouldn’t have focused on improving graphics for the old-gen console. Apparently, teams in FIFA 16 look pretty “cartoonistic” even if compared to the previous FIFA game. It seems like developers of the game have put no interest in the games texture for FIFA 16 teams on the old-gen console. Not only do their faces look bad, even the hair and their body movements differ as well. For example, popular Real-Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo who in actual is 6 ft 1¼ in height looks much shorter in the game. Furthermore, we also did a speed test for players in FIFA 16 for Xbox 360 and PS3 and the result was devastating. If compared to FIFA 15, quick-paced players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Arjen Robben are way slower in FIFA 16. Moreover, and the worst part that we personally felt EA would have improved in the game was “GoalKeeping”. This however did not match up to the standards, as its more easy to beat the goal-keeper in FIFA 16 than it ever was in FIFA 16. In FIFA 16, all a player has to do is just enter the penalty area and press shoot. Now we know that’s what usually a player needs to do to score, however it was said previously that FIFA 16 would have improved goal-keeping and goal-keepers would make some really jaw-dropping saves which apparently was not the case this time. The goal-keeper reactions are drastically bad, at one point in the game while playing against FC Barcelona, the team's current midfielder experimented with a long shot (approximately 50 yards) and the ball just slowly rolled down past by Real Madrid goal-keeper Kiko Cassila, right into the net without him making any sort of attempts to stop it. Meanwhile, EA previously announced that FIFA 16 will also have improved crowd reactions and once again that was still not the case when we played the game. The entire home crowd stayed quiet throughout the match, the only time we did hear them was whenever our team scored a goal. The only two improved mechanisms that we did see in FIFA 16 for Xbox 360 and PS3 were the team’s defense and the highly anticipated one-touch dribble system. With FIFA 16, EA announced players will find it hard to pass by defenders and that thankfully was the case when we played the title on old-gen consoles as well. At one point in the game where we almost passed by the last remaining defender, another of that team's defender sprinted towards us quickly and tackled us once again. So it’s safe to say even though goal-keeping in FIFA 16 is not as strong as it should be, defense will be the player's only hope of survival against other teams. Moving ahead, the most impressive feature that got us off our seats while playing FIFA 16 was the “No Touch Dribbling” mechanism that allows players to change their directions swiftly while dribbling without even touching the ball. Hands down to EA for coming up with such a technique, it was absolutely beautiful to dribble past defenders in FIFA 16. Meanwhile, FIFA 16 for Xbox One and PS4 are said to be a perfect package, we assume that EA should have at least given a bit more attention towards the old-gen console editions as well. No doubt football fanatics will still purchase the game on Xbox 360 and the PS3 despite it having so many glitches, however our advice would be if you’re looking to attain the perfect FIFA experience, buying the game on the current gen consoles would be a smart idea and definitely the right thing to do. On a scale of 10, we would give FIFA 16 for Xbox 360 and the PS3 a disappointing seven. Hopefully EA would release updates for the old-gen console editions which might introduce improved graphics and other glitches that we mentioned above. Have you played FIFA 16 yet?

This game is great for the xbox 360. It looks gorgeous and the gameplay is mostly smooth. There are a few bugs but the game is otherwise very enjoyable.

This is the perfect video game for the serious soccer player! All of the biggest teams and players are featured in this game. And now there are women teams too. Hours of fun!

I like everything, purchased it as a gift for the family since we all like soccer. I own previous Fifas and this one didnt dissapoint. The players, teams, it rules!

I don't watch soccer but when I played this I had fun playing it. Graphics are great and definitely great to play with friends.

The game was great and super fun. Despite the negative reviews about how the game is too hard, it's actually easy to play.

Great game, excellent practice drills to get the hang of the controls, easy to learn. Loads of teams to choose from.

I originally saw this game being played in a common area on campus and had to ask what game they were watching. They laughed and said they were playing FIFA 16 and held up their controllers. I was shocked. I had to get this for the little soccer player in my life who also loves video games. He was so excited to get this game and kept shouting out the players names as he was playing it. Great gift and awesome graphics!

Having had FIFA 15 I had relatively high expectations and this version didn't disappoint. The controls and game play are basically the same as the prior version with some improvements that aren't dramatic but make the game a little more fluid and challenging. My son really wanted this game for Christmas and has really enjoyed playing it so far. The addition of the women's teams has been a great inclusion as well.

I enjoy this version because the defense is better and this makes the game more realistic

Awesome graphics, easy for both my 8 year old and challenging enough for my 15 year old

As always .... This game does not disappoint. Great graphics and smooth game play ....

FIFA 16 is a great soccer video game, with life-like graphics and plenty of challenge!

My son and I love it. It has the option to play both mens and womens teams.

Still one of the most playable and great sport games I've played. I'm hooked on the FUT game, brings me back to opening packs of baseball cards as a little kid. If you've played other FIFA's it has slower gameplay so your opponents won't just sprint the whole game and launch through balls so overall I like that it encourages steady build up play and creativity to score goals.

Really fun to play! Has great graphics and great for multiplayer.

This game is very easy to use and the graphics are realistic.

Liked it. Not a lot of changes from the previous versions. But it does improve the defense.

Awesome game. The graphics are good and easy to play.
