Your club name is one of the many things EA Sports will allow you to keep on FUT 16

EA chose the theme, Play Beautiful, to describe this year’s FIFA. From a development standpoint, realizing this came down to imbuing players with unprecedented levels of control, particularly on defense with mobility and locomotion. Defensive players will track the opposition, relying on swing steps in order to change direction while keeping their eyes locked on attackers. Building off this, the back line now operates as a unit to shut down attacks and provide the offense with little to no angles on goal. Specialties are assigned to different players based on their Physical Traits. This guide provides an overview and Physical Traits requirements that a player must fulfill in order to obtain a Specialty.
 
Note that players under 180 lbs need 90 Strength and player above 183 lbs require about 86 Strength. It’s an important attribute for defenders who will beat anyone in one-on-one tackle. “A lot of the player feedback was, ‘we want to have more confidence in defence. It’s quite difficult to keep up with skilled wingers like Bale and Ronaldo so a lot of people ended up just playing as Real Madrid. We didn’t feel the defence was as tight as it could be. Everyone loved how dribbling worked last year but it was quite difficult to keep up.” Consequently, the Fifa team has sought to make players feel more responsive while defending. One result is the new “swing step” move where defenders are able to quickly switch direction while running back toward their own goal in front of an attacking player.

 
This apparently stops the player from over-running and creating gaps for the opponent to accelerate through. On EA Sports Football Club, the coins used are called FC Credits. It is not directly related to the FIFA you’re playing, but is linked to your Origin account, just like the XP.

When you start the game, you will be asked whether to change or keep it as it is. If you choose the latter, then it remains as is. To change it later, you will need to buy the ‘club name changing’ at the EASFC Catalogue item. If you choose the former, you will have to create a new name, and the old one will be made available for other people to use.

In this gameplay, you are leaving the on-ball defense to the computer.
 
When playing online games, the computer level is around professional so they are pretty reliable but doesn’t mean you can defend on them. Playing off-ball defense provides you with a few more seconds on defense which allows you read your opponent’s next move and act accordingly. Also by being the off-ball defenders allows you to pressure your opponents by double-teaming the player with the ball. Timing is very important in this defense attack. FIFA 16’s announcement led with news 12 international women’s teams would be included for the first time in the series. Obviously, it’s about time, and it’s something the team has been working on for quite a while. Over the last couple of years, there’s been intense debates regarding how much work it takes to animate female characters. The FIFA team has spent extensive time making sure its female players aren't reskinned models stolen from elsewhere in the game. The models have been created from scratch to represent female anatomy accurately.
