FIFA 16 – New features promise to make this the best version ever

FIFA 16 is an upcoming soccer virtual reality game developed by EA Canada and published by EA Sports. EA Sports has taken some innovative steps in the game and several major changes have been implemented in the game which are shooting, passing, defending and goalkeeping. It’s off to a very strong start and has the potential to be the best soccer game Electronic Arts Inc. has made in years. In this article, we’ll take a look at what’s new in the upcoming FIFA 16, specifically what’s changed from FIFA 15.

female teams

FIFA will include women’s national teams in the game for the first time ever. Twelve international women’s teams, including Spain, Germany, Sweden, USA, Italy, China, Brazil and England, will appear in FIFA 16. For now, there are no plans to include women’s football club teams from around the world. Still, it’s a great start and hopefully we’ll see national women’s leagues in the future.

Improvement approach

Gone are the days when a striker would leave his defender lying on the pitch in case his sliding tackle couldn’t get the ball away from him. Also, it is possible for a striker to recover from a sliding tackle and regain possession. It doesn’t take that long to get up after a tackle.

goal

A major flaw for goalkeepers in FIFA 15 was long-range goals from a lower region of midfield. For example, a player with great stamina and good shooting accuracy can easily score a goal from near the middle of the line. EA fixed this issue this year, as new features were added to improve the goalie’s ability to defend against certain situations.

Fast pass from anywhere

With the fast pass, you can now avoid those interceptions from anywhere on the field. By pressing a right bumper and pass button when in control of the player, the player will be able to initiate a quick pass. This will send a quick, direct pass to your mark that denies the defense the opportunity to intercept the ball like they do with normal passes.

No touch dribble

This feature allows you to move around the ball without touching it. If you look at Ronaldo and Messi, they keep control of the ball, standing or dribbling, without touching it. FIFA 16 has made an attempt to simulate this.

shooting

Another important improvement that FIFA has made is the shot. It wasn’t an area with a lot of bugs and errors, but EA decided to make some improvements to the way players throw the ball. They have added new animations to give shooting a fresh feel in the game. For example, a player may place the ball towards the net instead of throwing the ball towards the net. For platforms like PS4 and Xbox One, the controller will vibrate a bit when you score, giving you more satisfaction when scoring a goal.
