FIFA 16 Video - A.S. Roma Vs. FC Barcelona

[ChaseB]

FIFA 16 hit EA Access yesterday, so we wanted to post up a video of PES and FIFA in similar environments (The PES version can be found here).

FIFA lacks the Champions League license, so we could not put the Roma/Barcelona game in the exact same environment, but the teams and styles are what's most important here.

The game is played on World Class difficulty, and in the description below the video you can find some helpful time stamps.

Looks really good. Can't see how this is different than the demo.

Small, but nice touch on adding the country name below the club name.

I don't recall that being in 15.

Looks great, definitely not faster than the demo.

Thanks for this Chase, really appreciate it.

Good to see Barca dominate possession and put you on the back foot. Some absolutely lovely turns by Rakitic. There was one in the first half where he did a 360 and took small touches while avoiding a defender ultimately finding a teammate (That's good AI and player realism)

Bad to see Barca sending in high crosses, Busquets the furthest man forward, and the coverboy a virtual spectator.

There are some odd moments where Neymar & Messi show up as full-backs while Roberto and Busquets push forward. Those 2 (Neymar & Messi) rarely even track back IRL.

I'm curious to see what their tactics look like.

Yeah not to start the flame war, but at first glance the PES tactics for those signature guys looked more consistent. Both games seem to have the moments right where Messi and Neymar are terrifying and do what they do in real life well, but moment to moment at least in a positional sense Barcelona in PES performed better in that one-game sample.

(Messi in PES was a turnover machine though, which is not canon!)
