We expect to see a FIFA 16 demo later this year about two weeks before the FIFA 16 release date and on Xbox One EA Access promises five days of early FIFA 16 play that will let gamers try the new FIFA 16 features first. The FIFA 16 release date arrives on September 22nd for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. There is also a version coming for Xbox 360 and PS3, but it will not likely get all of the features outlined in this roundup. Gamers can score an early FIFA 16 deal for $38 after all savings are added up. EA decided to add women’s teams to FIFA just ahead of this year’s World Cup, which proved to be a wildly successful tournament in terms of television ratings. The USWNT’s title game against Japan attracted more U.S. viewers than any soccer match in history.

 

For the first time ever, a woman will appear on the cover of Electronic Arts’ popular soccer franchise. "It’s a really great honor to be on the cover of the game,” said Morgan during an interview with USA TODAY. "It’s something I played, and my husband played in college. It’s going to tremendously help the women’s game in creating more awareness." Her latest medal was another in the long list of personal and team achievements Morgan has accumulated over the course of her career -- including an Olympic Gold, three Algarve Cups and a CONCACAF Player of the Year Award. Her increasing worldwide popularity, and that of women's football in general, meant it was an easy decision to stand her alongside Messi.

 

“We know that in North America, in both the United States and Canada, women’s soccer is a very integral part of soccer culture and it’s also helping to grow the sport in North America. So we wanted to celebrate that by putting Alex on the cover.” “We really wanted to get women right when we put them into the game for the first time,” Pekush said. World Cup winner Alex Morgan has been chosen as one of the first women to feature on the front cover of football video game Fifa 16. Women's teams feature in the EA Sports game for the first time this year.

 

This is really the first true new-gen FIFA title (we're not counting the graphical scrub up of FIFA 16), and it's clear that a number of things have changed on the pitch. Perhaps the most noticeable tweak is that pace is back in a big way. In the real game, a player with pace, someone who runs at defenders and looks to take them on, is a huge asset. FIFA has finally managed to recreate the thrill of having someone like Bale or Sterling or Di Maria really take on opponents at speed. No longer will full backs conveniently be able to catch up, it seems like teams with pace have a real edge that's finally realised thanks to expert balancing to go along with the precision control that has been standard for the last couple of years.

 

FIFA 16 Replays recapture the action close up to perfection, while weather effects the very grass you step on, with the dew off the grass leaving an imprint upon every step. The animations of simple actions such as tripping and tackles look much better than the last installment as well, as it all happens in one fluid motion, rather than a clumsy plop. Faces have also been scanned in, and while I do think the hair is a bit less detailed in comparison to the actual features, these are the best looking models we have had to date in a modern sports title.

 

The fifa 16 players have also now been issued with an “instructions” tab that you are able to go to and edit in order to fit your style of play. It allows much more customization in the game and when you are playing through season after season, you are easily able to capitalize on the strong points of your team. Manchester City's creative midfielder David Sílva skins his marker on the edge of the area with a cheeky body feint without touching the ball, a new addition to the game which has been proven effective as a general skill move in real-life over the past few months. He unselfishly squares the ball to his club team-mate Sergio Aguero, who tees himself up for a bicycle kick before floating his strike into the top corner of the net - beyond a helpless Tim Howard who makes an acrobatic diving save attempt but can only watch as the ball flies into the top corner in some style: a goal anyone would be proud of.

 

The UK vote is open to everyone, even those outside the UK region, and you are encouraged to vote daily. It’s also possible to vote for the co-star for the French, Latin American, Mexican and Australian regions at the following links. The Australian vote is noteworthy for the progressive news that the three nominees to choose from are all female footballers.
