LG OLED 9600 TV--No other choice!!

We had a Best Buy warranty trade-in of our "lemon" Panasonic plasma--which BTW the Best Buy (San Diego) Mira Mesa Manager would not fully honor, and was rude about it when we again contacted BB Corporate to make sure of our warranty reimbursement amount! Since we were researching to buy an upgraded 4K TV, we decided to take our business to BB Mission Valley and were helped by the extremely professional and knowledgable Alex, Magnolia room. After much discussion about TV options on today's market, we bought the LG OLED 65" 9600 curved TV and couldn't be happier! It is the BEST picture and the most similar to our plasma as far as black contrast. BB Mission Valley was so great to work with and delivery was fast. We are so pleased to have such a picture-perfect TV just in time to view all of the football bowl games! LG OLED is the best picture technology on the market today, and even though it is slightly more expensive, we feel that it's worth it to watch such a great picture for years to come! Thank you Alex at Best Buy San Diego Mission Valley for your most excellent customer service!!

I haven't bought FIFA in a couple years so I decided to give it a try. Overall its still very iterative, and doesn't feel too much further developed than a year or two ago. However, the graphics on the Xbox One are fantastic and the gameplay is smooth. There are tons of features to keep you busy. My favorite so far have been the career mode and online play with friends. Nothing groundbreaking here, but the best soccer playing game on Xbox.

I don't see any major changes in graphics from FIFA 15, but it still looks very very nice. They added some weather effects that make it look like a real soccer game. I am a Premier League fan, and I am happy to see a full license on all of their teams and stadiums. Having women's teams it cool too. Practice the game before you start your career. The coolest addition to the career mode is that you can select what pre-season tournaments you want to attend. Can't beat the Black Friday deals though.

I play mostly Fut and this years version is the best yet.The wide variety of viable players is astounding unline in FiFa 15 where pace was king.Passing has been made more difficult so you couldnt just have speedy players and through ball your way to victory.Goal keepers also have been worked on and do make some godly saves.And the addition of FUT draft is very welcome allowing you to play with players you might not have been able to afford otherwise.I have been hooked on this game since the moment i installed it and will play it up until FiFa 17.

It's my 6th consecutive purchase on the fifa series. It's not as great as fifa 11 was but it's almost there. Nice graphics the movement is entirely different so you may love it or hate it especially the ball physics. Long gone are the days of running to the corner and crossing for an easy header or volley in a crowd which again you will love or hate. My only dislike was the lack of new commentary it's pretty much the same old chatter and there's no Enrique "El Perro" Bermudez Mexican commentary it's not exciting in Spanish anymore. But it's a great game to play with friends or online ultimate team but if you're playing alone the boredom will set in fairly quickly.

The graphics are step up from last year, I also like that you can train you players in career mode. My only complaint is the extreme difficulty of world class, I've played every FIFA game on world class before, but this one just makes it unplayable. Every team plays the same way( possession style) and it just took all the fun and realism out of it. If you don't play on world class than I think it is def worth a buy.

Besides from the obvious change-women soccer league-the game did not change significantly from it's predecessor. There are more drills, the graphic is more define, and the difficulty level have increased. The players defensively have becoming tighter so pass throughs are much hard to perform than before. Overall, if you already have the FIFA15, you probably dont need to purchase the 16 edition but if you want to play the women league, this will be a great buy for you.

It is FIFA 15 with new graphics. The defense mechanism is improved but rest of the game play is similar to FIFA 15. The referees give harsh penality even when the players are miles away. EA server lags a lot. EA released 4 patches after the release which tells that they released half baked product initially. Speed and lobbed balls are nefred which is a good thing but stamina problem still exists. You can use one player only and run him around for complete game but player stamina stays intact. First touches are ridiculous. The new passing mechanism works 50-50. Even if you press passing button with the little pressure sometimes it sends the ball like a bullet. The game is full of glitches, balls passing through body, legs. 90/45 minutes goals are back with latest patch. Addition of women teams and draft mode is just another gimmick. As an arcade game, yes it is beautiful but it is miles away from being a soccer simulator.

Each year FIFA brings a new game with updated modes and graphics. Each year the game gets better and better. Updated teams/rosters. Women's National Teams was a nice addition. It's a must have for any soccer fan and avid FIFA fans!

I grew up playing soccer so this item was a must buy for me. It did take a little while to get used to the different things the play can do but so far no complaints and we're having a great time playing it. My son who is 7 also enjoys to play it and is figuring it out as well.

I have been playing Fifa since FIFA 94. The last few years I felt that the offense was always very strong compared to the defenders. This year's version fixes some of those issues. There is more of a build-up on the offensive side of the ball and working the ball out of the backfield really can create offensive chances. Previous editions, kick-n-run could easily get you goals with teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona because of clunky defenders and the awful reads they would make. Defenders cut down passing lines and step in front at the midfield spot. You are proned to more counter-attacks. Overall, this is my favorite edition. I love the shooting and and the passing. Passing at times can still be frustrating because it will pass to someone you didn't aim at or expect, but it has improved. Keepers will always been an issue in FIFA, but those have improved too. I will continue to buy FIFA every year, but this is the best one in years.

FIFA 15 was pretty much all about pace. Thankfully in FIFA 16 everything seems to be more well-balanced. The midfield has actually become important instead of most things happening around the wings. Taking shots outside of the box is also more precise so there's some nice potential for some great goals. If you're a fan of FUT, I'm sure you'll really enjoy playing the new Draft Mode. You get a chance to play with some amazing players as well as having the challenge of creating a good squad using basically random players. The new no-touch-dribbling is also pretty cool and is a great addition to using the skill stick. The difficulties seem to have increased some too which adds an extra challenge. Overall I think this is the best FIFA yet and seemingly the most realistic...

This game has made some improvements. Pro clubs is now terrible, though. Fifa ultimate team is better with draft. Passing is tougher because people don't check back to ball. You can't sprint past people like in 2015. Overall, a good game, just wish it wasn't made by EA.

I have played many iterations of the FIFA games going back to 1996, and each year I'm amazed at the leap forward in graphics. Paired with a high res television, FIFA 16 simply pops off the screen and into your living room. A big attraction for me is FIFA Ultimate Team, and this year EA added FIFA Ultimate Team Draft which allows you to draft a player for each position (of your pre-selected formation) from a random five player draw. You can then play this side in up to four games to win rewards. It's a fun little add on and really tests your drafting skills. FIFA 16 continues a fine tradition and should be in every discerning sports gamer's collection.

New To FIFA

I am new to the FIFA series after trying out 15. 16 is a big step up from 15. This game is my primary game right now. It's grown my love for soccer and keeps my occupied. I just have to work on getting better. CPU can be a bit dauntless for a new comer. Training modes are fun, but can be a bit ridicolous at times. Multiplayer is awesome and fun. Most players do not pass the ball around or work with you...to each their own. I enjoy hoping on with a friend and playing as a team or against each other. Working on our chemistry for success. Ultimate team is still waiting to be tested out.
All in all, I love this game and will play it until 17 comes out.
