FIFA 16 Gameplay and FUT Draft Videos From Gamescom

[10]

Nothing quite like watching someone endlessly sprint to the corner and hit crosses with Messi. The good part is that it didn't look like it worked too well and neither did long through balls. Midfielders/defenders looked pretty solid at tracking runs and cutting off obvious passes.

I really hope that they show some career mode footage. Would love to see if they've changed the menus and also if transfers happen more often..

Oh, just wait until the FUT guys start complaining about the game and then EA tailoring to their needs by releasing patches ruining it yet again.

Only watched a clip of the video but if you two liked it, that's a good sign.

Holy crap. That looked fantastic. I'm super excited to play this now. The cpu defense was great. They worked as a unit to block up space. They were cutting off passes on their own. The keeper was tracking shots much better than before. It looked really good. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

Looks good. Doesn't seem as easy to create chances, which FUTers will no doubt hate. Playing the CPU might actually be consistently fun again.

Damn, haven't been impressed like this by one of these videos in forever. Not that impressed by the PES videos, but I'll get both (despite hating what both are doing with exclusive licensing). FIFA looks to have an advantage so far.

IDK, around the 16:20 mark the Chelsea guy has Costa bearing down on the Barca goal. He's (Costa) not charging head down and Barca's backline and CDM are backing off. Mascherano tracks Willian's run (which is good) until he isn't a threat any more but Pique and Busquets back off and ultimately block his shot.

Apart from that instance defenders were really engaged and trying to cut off lanes and block shots/passes. Really made a difference in terms of creating chances which has been far too easy in FIFA for far too long. Pretty solid first video. A LOT of good things in there.
