Over the past five years in particular, I��ve expressed my disappointment nhl coins with the lack of development EA has put into its flagship football simulator. FIFA had become stagnant, predictable and rage inducing due to the lack of attention to detail and excessive time dedicated towards FIFA Ultimate Team. However, after spending a solid 24 hours with FIFA 16, I can say with a big smile on my face that this is the best FIFA game EA has produced in a very long time. So what��s different about this game and why do I like it so much? The first thing that��s made a huge difference in FIFA 16 is the new mechanics introduced by EA. They have revitalised the gameplay entirely. So let��s go through them one by one.

The first thing a player will notice right after kick-off (besides the sweet graphics, of course) is how slower the pace of the game is compared to last year��s game. Where last year��s game sometimes felt like a non-stop shooting gallery with blazing ping-pong action across the hut coins sale entire field, this year��s game more closely follows the pace of a typical real-life match. Another warning for sprint fiends: it��s time to master how to dribble, juke, fake, and time tackles properly if you want to win. It��s an odd bit of advice considering they��re playing football with their feet, after all, but one that speaks to where the emphasis of the game has shifted as well as where the game has been tweaked and refined.

Another change I noticed is that the defense has been tightened up a bit. It's something that's especially noticeable in higher difficulties, though it still isn't quite as suffocating as PES 2016. For the most part, I had an easier time weaving through the defense with the sprint button pressed and moving around in this game than I did with its rival. Depending on your preferences, that's either good or bad, but it's one point of distinction from its competitor. Passing also was made a bit more challenging so you can't just spam the pass button. It's improved over last year though still not quite as smooth as PES 2016. I recommend trying out different passing settings to find the one that works best for you.

If you need help getting to grips with any of the new gameplay mechanics, the optional Fifa Trainer is a worthwhile addition. This puts an overlay on the screen near the player you��re currently controlling, suggesting different button pushes for the situation you��re in. It starts off basic and can become more advanced when you��re ambitious enough to take on some of the more complex moves that require an octopus-like level of dexterity. Fifa��s authenticity comes through in the way it looks and sounds too. I don��t think the series has ever been better visually, with the quality of graphics and attention to detail improving year on year. Crowd sounds are better than ever, and really differ from ground to ground. The broadcast-style presentation of matches is up to its usual standard - but this leads to the one production letdown of Martin Tyler and Alan Smith��s commentary being as tedious as always.
