This year��s FIFA is more measured and methodical, scaling back the importance of pace and power to a fault. Matches can be tentative tete-a-tetes, with scrappy midfield battles replacing zipped through balls and the domination of sprinting powerhouses like Cristiano Ronaldo. Now FIFA favours recycled possession, smart passing and angled runs. To enable this, FIFA has extended extra measures of control over both dribbling and passing. Squeeze L1 and you can manoeuvre your player around the ball without touching it, shielding possession or selling the opposition a dummy. You can��t just slam the sprint button and whizz past an opposing full-back, you need to use pitch smartly, changing pace and knocking the ball into open space. Press R1 while passing, meanwhile, and you��ll deliver a quicker ��bullet pass��, zipping the ball along the turf.

Whether playing as men or women, FIFA's life-swallowing online offering is stronger than ever. EA's streamlined matchmaking is so confident and reliable at this point, instantly hopping into lag-free multiplayer matches is something you instantly take for granted. And of course, FIFA Ultimate Team (the absurdly addictive card-collecting mode) is back and remains the crowning jewel. This time, the headline addition is FUT Draft; a set of one-off tournaments that reward you for putting together winning streaks. The bigger the run of victories, the better the prizes��I bagged three Premium Gold Packs for a three-match win streak, one of which gave me Messi and Aguero as loan players.

Instead I endured square balls and pudding passes in a crowded midfield. Either that I played it forward in a hopeful manner and back it came. And no-one pays me ��45 every September to do that on Hackney Marshes on a Sunday afternoon�� From being an arcade style game throughout the early noughties FIFA has gone beyond full circle and has lost some of its sparkle. Shooting mostly feels right when you eventually make it into the box and I��ve no complaints in the goalkeeping department. You have to work for goals and when they eventually arrive FIFA comes into its own as always. Having said that, your AI team mates are generally very effective �C perhaps overly so, as you can rely upon their defensive judgement to get you out of some pretty sticky situations when playing online.

While fifa 16 coins traders it's nice to see that FIFA 16 features some of the best AI that we've witnessed in the series, it is a bit worrying that less experienced users can simply fall back on their CPU buddies when the going gets tough, and you're desperately trying to scrape that equalising goal in the last five minutes of a match. As always, the online multiplayer experience depends on who you're matched up against. We found that many people are still trying to play like it's FIFA 15. This makes it easy to defend against, as their one-touch-passes get misplaced, but their aggressive defensive style makes the adjustments to fifa coins traders passing a little frustrating. With a 4-star team, for example, you might work the ball into space, but a miscontrolled direct pass undoes all your hard work.
