FIFA 16 Demo: 14 Reactions You Need To Know

By Michael Potts / September 9, 2015

The FIFA 16 Demo has landed, and as expected, EA have done a fantastic job of updating their winning formula to provide their best footballing experience yet. Demos and Beta versions of games can often be sluggish, but FIFA 16's trial run already feels like the real deal before the creators give it one final polish ahead of the release date. When you have such a tried-and-tested system as EA do with FIFA it would be rash to overhaul the entire engine, but this edition is crammed full of minor tweaks that add up to make a big difference. It's some great work by the reliable EA Sports team who have also produced a stunning new edition of Madden. There are of course one or two tweaks that could be made to improve FIFA 16 - including one of the new game modes - but here are our initial demo reactions looking at the style, gameplay, and new ways to play FIFA such as the inclusion of Women's Football.

14. Graphics Are Stunning

First of all with every new game that comes out - from any genre - you see how it looks, and the initial impression of FIFA 16 is stunning. From the skies to the stadiums to the players' faces. EA have created a beautiful game. The first match saw two demo teams dropped into CenturyLink Field, a new stadium to FIFA and the home of the Seattle Sounders MLS team as well as the Seahawks NFL side. It's incredible to look at in real-life and justice has been done to its virtual counterpart. Player likenesses are creepily accurate too, with more than just the elite group being carefully rendered in the game.
