FIFA 16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions

Operation sports Kat Baily has officially written the worst review in the history of gaming. How does operation sports allow her on their podcast?

http://www.usgamer.net/articles/fifa-16-playstation-4-review-dropping-down-the-table

She doesn't mention anything about the revolution in terms of gameplay balance this year. She thinks the best football game ever created is stale. LMAO

It's not really OS's podcast. They may sponsor it but I'd say it's more Rich's than anyone. Maybe I'm wrong. Either way, that review wasn't terrible

Legacy defending is cheap. In real soccer, at least skilled soccer, 4 guys don't go after the ball carrier because it would leave three guys open and they would be found through simple one-touch passes.

FIFA needs to get rid of this.

Never seen 4 guys go after the ball with legacy defending.

She mentioned on a podcast just months ago that "fifa had the best career mode." I really question her judgement, but to each his own.

Anyone play offline.

I've only played 2 games, Benfica [me] vs Chelsea and Bilbao [me] vs Real Madrid and there were a total of ZERO shots from outside the box.

Anyone actually experience the CPU take shots from outside the box?

I had Shaqiri from Stoke drill one in from about 10 feet out of the box on me. It was an absolute rocket too.

I've been enjoying this game much more than I ever did with the past two editions. I have complaints, but I personally feel this is the best FIFA in a good while. Plan on playing with default settings until it becomes too easy (or too hard), then using the good ole community sliders.

I've seen lots of shots outside the box, but maybe it's due to how I generally defend.

If that's the case then that's awesome. It means the game is responding also to how you play.

I've played 3 consecutive games against Norwich, Swansea and Crystal Palace. Many shots outside the box and for a while I thought that this needs to be toned down.
I haven't tried other leagues but BPL is a joy to play. Each of these teams had also their unique attacking approach.

So, the general rule of them is that the AI no longer tries to walk it in, and even when it does, it does not pass it around?

Im at work and cannot test it out...

In fifteen women's matches and twenty men's I have yet to have them pass the ball around inside the box. Maybe a one pass to a shot.

They shoot early and often! From anywhere and everywhere. This does change depending who you play. But you see long crosses from mid field flying in for forwards. You see players shoot from wide and for me a lot of out side the box shots. I tend to drop back to prevent someone getting behind me and they shoot from outside a lot!

In my opinion the shooting issue from the demo is also gone. I have not seen finesse shots unless I used the R1.

Literally the best football game ever made. I love PES and am not a FIFA fangirl. This game is purely wonderful. Not perfect... but very good football.

Re: FIFA 16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions

This game is flat out the best sports game I have ever played. I Would never give a game a 10 but this is a solid 9-9.5 and No previous sports game would I rank over an 8.

If they had done a little more with MM it would be a 10. Just my opinion but it is sim like. It is fun and it looks good. Finally in FIFA teams play different... Finally you can rely on your teammates to defend. When I loose I do not feel cheated.

Just a great game... Could not be happier! Finally a video game worth $60. I would have paid more.

I loved the demo and still the game has surpassed my expectations.

Anyone who reviewed it as stale is not a fan of sim sports gaming. I have only played offline and am a sim style gamer. Usually PES is my fave football game but not this year. FIFA 16 is simply the best sports game I have ever played.

I own every copy of The Show since it came out on PS3 (my fave sports series) and I would trade them all in for this game if That was the only way I could get it.

So the winter gear bug is gone. However, now, if you edit a player he wears his winter gear in all seasons, so it negates the weather/season contextual application. Better than before I guess? We just need a "winter/cold" only option in the edit player menu.

Just picked up my copy and am absolutely about to bust at the seams with eagerness to play with Arsenal.

Unfortunately, I still have about 4 more hours

Enjoy!

This may sound strange but even though I'm an Arsenal fan, I just never enjoy playing as them lol. I get a few matches in with them and just go NOPE can't enjoy myself. I don't think I have enjoyed playing with them ever since van Persie left and I miss the PES days of playing with Henry, Bergkamp, Pires, Viera, etc. Ha I am just spoiled a little and holding on to some nostalgia.
