A scene from the video game FIFA 16.
There's only one major thing wrong with Fifa 16: Chelsea are a pretty good team.
After his side's woeful start to the season, manager Jose Mourinho would be wishing there was a reset button but the makers of the game can't be blamed for thinking the defending champions would be
near relegation zone nearing the opening quarter of the season.
The latest version of EA's flagship football game, with super-duper star Lionel Messi gracing the cover, once again delivers without surprising. The gameplay is improved with new tackling mechanics and animations while passing and finishing have both been upgraded to make it an even smoother experience. The pitch and players look sharper and it's getting even harder to tell the difference between real-life coverage and Fifa coverage.
Ultimate Team remains the focus for Fifa and has been improved with a new draft mode, similar to what was rolled out in the latest Madden release.
It's an abbreviated version of Ultimate Team best suited to players who don't have time to spend hours crafting the perfect side through endless transfers. Instead you go through a quick draft of professional players to select a 23-man squad, starting with the likes of Messi or Sergio Aguero as your captain, and are set the challenge to win four games. That's it. A fairly simple idea and its rinse and repeat nature makes it quite addictive.
