Developer

A well-known logo for FIFA fans.

FIFA 16 will be developed and published by EA Sports (a division of Electronic Arts). As with most other video game franchise developers, EA Sports has developed several other FIFA installations since 1993.

Gameplay

Get ready for one exciting game after another…

FIFA 16 will not awe fans with revolutionary controls and features. Instead, it will build on what it did best on its prequels, making a solid improvement that will definitely satisfy its fans.

FIFA 16 will sport superior graphics from various motion capture feeds, which were taken from current professional players. The games will also feel more vivid, given the higher player fluidity and mobility, as well as cooler moves you can perform with your players. Finally, gamers will be able to choose from more tactical plays, as well as switch between various offensive and defensive formations.

More specifically, you will have more control over the strength and angle of your quick, as well as the curve effect you can implement on the ball. Multiple kicking and positioning options will give you more chances to make the perfect kick!

Besides seeing usual in-game moves and features, you will also be able to participate in tournaments, simulating real-life championships and all that goes into a successful run for the title: player injuries, trade deals, and signing new players.

Women’s National Teams

The biggest and newest addition to FIFA 16.

The most noteworthy addition to FIFA 16 are 12 women’s national teams. In 2013, FIFA received a petition with thousands of signatures, asking for the addition of female teams to the iconic game. Now, this will finally come to fruition, with the following female teams being added: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, England, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Sweden, and USA.

Although players cannot make mix-gender teams, they will still be able to use these new teams on online friendly matches and play an offline tournament similar to the FIFA Woman’s World Cup.
