FIFA Soccer 16 Review | IGN

IGN:
The complete package is as substantial as ever, and those who’ve acclimatised to FIFA’s play style in recent years will likely consider it good enough. But in the face of much stronger competition, ‘good enough’ might not actually be good enough. With its biggest rival matching its dynamism and beating it for fluidity and responsiveness, EA Sports has work to do if FIFA is to regain its title as king of the digital sport.

FIFA 16 is getting mostly 7's across the board and PES 16 is getting 8.5 and 9's across the board. We have a clear winner.

Although FIFA 16 did get sold out in most stores in where i am. Its a shame thats a better game gets outsold 10:1 though.

Lev19033503d ago

Great sales doesnt mean its a great game. Look at COD, the sales are very impressive each year.

Im going to buy Pes since Pes 6. I really enjoyed the demo and the game feels just better.

nX3503d ago

PES15 was a better game than FIFA15 and this year just continues that. I would wish that FIFA can finally focus on being a football simulation instead of 11v11 ping pong but until that happens I'll stay with PES which puts gameplay first. It's just so annoying that EA has a monopoly on the licenses and people only buy FIFA for those.

bouzebbal3503d ago

great sales and high scores doesn't mean great game. This biaised way of seeing the things is staggering.
I hate GTA for instance.
PES made a massive comeback in 2015 already. 2016 is just a slight improvement for those who bought and played 2015. i'm gonna keep playing PES2015 for one more year to really feel the improvement with 2017, hopefully.

@abzdiine

I partly agree but now you're pretty much saying that everything you don't like is automatically bad and doesn't deserve any praise..

If you don't like gta it doesn't mean that it's a bad game. Last of us wasn't my cup of tea but I still realize that the game is a masterpiece and it deserves high scores.

freshslicepizza3503d ago

great sales doesn't always mean it's a better product, and that goes with anything. i am actually liking what i see with the reviews because it will take low review scores and a drop in sales before companies like ea are willing to make major and try harder.

At the time i wrote this comment pes and fifa have exactly the same metacritic score

DarkOcelet3503d ago

FIFA is reviewed by 8 critics and PES is reviewed by 23 critics so thats a big difference and they dont have the same score.

tsmith1453503d ago

Its clearly not getting 7's across the board, at the time of writing this it currently has and 87 on metacritic. This score just so happens to be the exact same score as Pes

Thats nice. FIFA over PES 16 for me all day for me. I hope there is less lag on the new one, better refereeing and less super turbo charged pacy players and a more balanced Real Madrid.

TKCMuzzer3503d ago

Better refs? Probably not, I gave away a penalty on the demo without pressing a single button......

Fro_xoxo3503d ago (Edited 3503d ago )

Fifa fans don't need reviews..
they are already sold..

It's hard for some to accept the truth....PES 15 was the better game and
PES 2016 is the better game. This is something y'all fanboys need to admit. I mean look at how NBA 2K keeps destroying NBA Live...there's no license monopoly there, both games fully licensed but EA's NBA Live keeps getting hammered every year where it matters.

Germany73503d ago

I still don't know if i will go with Fifa or PES...

Fro_xoxo3503d ago (Edited 3503d ago )

my best buddy already bought FIFA, that is the tradition.

So FIFA 16 it is for moi without a doubt. .

--
for me it doesn't matter which is best..
It's about where the majority will play including friends.

Done deal.

What a Game's Trophies Can Tell You About its Players

If you factor in how PSN also shows the total percentage of the playerbase with the same trophy, it's almost a database of behaviour.

For a "difficult game", I'm surprised almost 64,000 people got the platinum for Bloodborne. That game was worth it!

CocoaBrother3041d ago

One of my proudest platinums next to Velocity 2x, Digimon: Cyber Sleuth, and Killzone Mercenary.

joab7773040d ago

I think they patched it, but K2 was one of mine b/c of the fight with Radek on elite! Insanely hard!

Liqu1d3040d ago (Edited 3040d ago )

Aside from the chalice dungeons it's actually not that hard. Souls games platinums aren't actually that difficult really.

Imonaboat13040d ago

Yup .. Just unforgiving when it comes to mistakes

-Ghost3040d ago

SharePlay could also be a factor in many getting the platinum.

FITgamer3040d ago

Hell I've got the platinum for every Soulsborne game.

joab7773040d ago

Platinum wasn't too hard, but it wasn't easy either due to the Chalice quest. Still haven't played the dlc. Want to buy the complete edition and play it from the start, w/ the addition of all the new weapons of which many should have been in the base game.

Epic game and they are one of two devs that are currently working on my next favorite game. Can't wait to see what it is. Wouldn't mind a BB follow up though!

I still can't understand how there's not one Trophy with a 100% attained rate, especially when there are games that give them to you just for starting up the game

crazychris41243041d ago

Ratchet & Clank tutorial which only takes likes 2 minutes only has 97%, I just platinumed the game yesterday after finally getting the Death by Disco trophy on my 4th playthrough. Only 6% have gotten it.

FallenAngel19843040d ago

R&C: FFA gives you a Trophy just for starting up the story mode and even that doesn't have a 100%

Soldierone3040d ago

I'm always curious if these people just never sync, or if they legit got the game, installed it, boot it, then never go further.

rainslacker3039d ago

Games install their trophy list before they start. Probably not everyone actually actually starts up past the menu where it pops the trophy. Weird, but it happens I suppose.

I understand its cool for gamers who like it but I hate the attitude of some people digging into others trophies and try to deride others. I even saw that happen for journalists trying to deride gamers who were giving their opinions.
