There’s no doubt that defending on FIFA 16 this year has been made extremely difficult by EA and you’re going to have to be a tight unit at the back in-order to be successful. In this tutorial, you’ll learn the art of the jockey movement in defence which will help you tackle attackers at the right time. Tackling options are also customizable in the game where users have the ability to work on timing of a tackle and the direction they tackle from.
Snagging the ball from the opponent becomes increasingly easier as the player learns different techniques without ending up being called off the field. In this version of the game tackling at the right time has had more focus than simply pressing the button making the game more challenging and realistic. Intercepting the ball has more importance as well since that’s the safest way of regaining possession without getting a red card.
In an attempt to make the midfield actually matter and not just that row of players you ping the ball over the top of, passing with purpose has been implemented. In the pro scene over the past year, the midfield was always a key part of any attack, but often finding that final ball was the area where some players would lose possession. However passing with purpose should mean that more of those final killer passes make it to their target.

While the FIFA Trainer is a noble attempt to introduce players to the basics of the game during a match, it takes up far too much real estate on the screen and is far too distracting, to the point where it detracts from the actual match. Instead, stick to the Skill Games if you want to learn or improve upon the fundamentals. They're still the best way to learn, and with the new and improved training drills, this is the best and most fun year for them.
This really is only a taster of what it’s like to command such a team, however, with draft mode sessions lasting a maximum of four games. Lose a game before the four game run is over and you’re out. Draft a new team and start again. 12 national teams from the women’s game are included here, all of them officially licensed. In addition, over 100 facial scans have been taken from some of the most famous players in the world - many of which took centre stage this summer as participants in the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
As passing is hard, and requires dedication and patience, a proportion of the player base have apparently decided to disregard it entirely once they reach the halfway line or final third. You can counter such runs with calm defending, of course, and not all exponents of this dark art are particularly adept at it, but these zig-zag runs have an alarming tendency to make your players feel flat-footed and sluggish by comparison - especially if the connection with your opposite number is less than perfect.
All these adjustments to animation, dribbling, and shooting lead to what EA is calling Moments of Magic, which feels like a misguided attempt to define something that has been part of FIFA for years. is still capable of lifting me out of my chair in surprise, delight, and raw, unrestrained joy. I wouldn’t say these moments are more frequent this time, but they’re still there, and heightened as ever by an intoxicating atmosphere.
Countless times I have seen defenders somehow catch pacey attackers who in real life would have no chance of catching, yet in FIFA they somehow activate god mode and hunt them down with relative ease. It literally makes no sense and causes so much frustration, especially in big games.
