While the AI is not perfect, it has been improved by quite a bit.


During online matches, this often created extremely unbalanced gameplay that would result in dozens of goals that were nearly impossible to defend against. In many of the previous titles, NPC defenders could not keep up with a skilled opponent. The other major change comes down to the AI of the defenders. There are additional offensive and defensive moves as well, and this has made one-on-one battles between two footballers much more exciting. While speed is still a vital part of this game, the stats have been toned down. Instead of battling it out midfield, the most effective strategy was to send the fastest players to the wings, lob a pass over the defenders, and then make a break for the goal. One of the biggest drawbacks of the last few FIFA titles was the focus on speed. This has made countless new tactics viable without using overpowered mechanics. Some of the core mechanics in earlier FIFA games that frustrated so many fans have been thrown out or completely reworked. Luckily, that has all changed with FIFA 16, and this title feels like a completely new game. When it comes to releasing yearly FIFA titles, many fans are hesitant to believe that the franchise is evolving and improving enough to warrant purchasing each new game. Football fans from around the world will be glad to hear that all of their favorite teams, players and stadiums have returned in EA Sports' FIFA 16.
