You play a series of four games or until you lose. Where the FIFA iteration differs from Madden, is that it requires you to use in game currency to play this mode (ohhhh no I can’t escape the microtransactions). For those that aren’t familiar with the mode, FIFA Ultimate Team Draft is essentially a sports fantasy draft mixed with Ultimate Team mode.

I was expecting this mode to be nearly identical to the Draft Champions mode that was introduced in this year’s Madden (which I really like) and it is…mostly. The women are a lot faster than their male counterparts and the match-ups felt a lot more offensive and scoring heavy.Īnother new feature added to this season’s title is FIFA Ultimate Team Draft. The games felt like they were kicked up a notch. I really enjoyed playing some matches with the women. Not only that, but they also have the international women’s teams for the first time. It appears that EA Sports made sure to line the right pockets (like they usually do) because they have the franchises that are not included in PES 2016. Something I mentioned with PES 2016 that seems to have garnered some criticism was the licensing of teams in certain leagues. Both games generally don’t have difficult controls, but it is easy to confuse the two games’ control schemes and this made it easier to remember which buttons did what. After playing a bit with the overlay I couldn’t help but think how PES 2016 could have benefited from a similar interface. These overlays change based off of the situation you are currently in and are non-obstructive. Regardless of this, I was pleasantly surprised with a button layout overlay that comes up next to your player as you play the game. As someone who plays most sports titles I wasn’t very concerned that I could pick up the controls. Right after you load up FIFA 16 you are immediately thrust into a game. So as someone that plays soccer titles a bit more casually, my review should be taken under that context. I absolutely enjoy playing the games, but they aren’t titles I need to necessarily pick up every year.

FIFA 16 thankfully steps up its game to compete with Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 (PES 2016).Īs I stated in my PES 2016 review, I am not a huge soccer fan. It sometimes feels like this is the only way to avoid marginal game improvements on annual titles. Having some good old fashion competition, in my opinion, really brings out the best of both products. Unlike football, hockey and baseball, the consumer has a choice when it comes to picking their annual soccer game purchase (but honestly does NBA Live count as competition?). In what is a rarity of sports games of the past several years, we have some choices when it comes to soccer titles.
