EA��s football giant takes to the pitch once more but has this year��s game been outpaced by the rejuvenated PES 2016?

Their fans won��t see it that way but it��s not good for any club to dominate for too long, and it��s just acheter fifa coins as unhealthy for any one video game to remain so untouchable that there��s no incentive for serious improvement. For the last several years FIFA has always been a good game but recently there��s been signs of complacency, that have come credit fifa 16 just as Pro Evolution Soccer has made its return to greatness. And this year there��s no question about it: FIFA is second best.

You can read our review of PES 2016 here, but the short version is that it features major improvements across the board �C from the Master League to the controls �C and has a headline innovation in its new physics engine. By comparison FIFA 16 has nothing very specific to shout about other than it now has women��s national teams, which is very welcome but does little to address the game��s legacy issues.

In fact it��s always interesting to see what publishers consider the most important thing to mention on the back of the box, and with FIFA 16 it��s the women��s teams, a new training mode, and FIFA Ultimate Team Draft. Again, no mention of any gameplay improvements, except for a vague reference to ��new ways to play��.

Playing FIFA 16 you find that there are no big changes, just minor improvements �C and some minor regressions. The defensive game has received the most attention, with computer-controlled defenders now making a real effort to intercept passes and chase down meandering strikers. As a counter to this there��s also a new faster passing option, with the drawback that you can��t guarantee the receiver will be able to control it.
