10 Worst Ever FIFA Games - Ranked
10. FIFA 16 (Multi)
FIFA was on a roll for the best part of a decade, but with last season’s instalment EA Sports had grown complacent.
No matter what your system of choice happened to be, FIFA 16 was the version where legacy issues which had plague the series for a number of years caught up with it.
The match engine was in need of a drastic overhaul by this point (which it was mercifully given in the Frostbite-powered FIFA 17) and the gameplay felt imbalanced - defenders were overly powerful and forwards lacked fluidity in the final third. And tactics? What are they?
Perhaps we wouldn’t have been so harsh on FIFA 16 had it not been released in the same year as a cracking edition of Pro Evolution Soccer, which returned to form with a shiny new match engine and retooled gameplay.
