FIFA 16 Fails: 12 Funniest Glitches So Far

The beautiful game just got ugly.

The FIFA 16 Demo has provided fans with a great taster of the game to come, with EA Sports putting a huge effort into revamping their winning formula. Players in every area of the pitch have been improved to ensure a far more balanced game, though there's been a large emphasis on the overall experience, an aspect that far surpasses gameplay. Realism is key to any sports game. Fans want to use their favourite players with identifiable attributes. We want to feel like we've been dropped into a game, kicking every ball, scoring every goal, and throwing ourselves into hefty tackles to reclaim the ball. To aid with all of this, EA Sports have ploughed a lot of time into ensuring players' faces are accurate, as well as dropping in minor features like the vanishing spray for set-pieces. But EA can't be in total control over every minuscule detail, and there are always stray moments when the game takes on a life of its own. Players have twisted their entire bodies, performed the most ridiculous actions, and have even managed to sink straight through the grass itself on previous games, and FIFA 16 is no stranger to bugs, glitches, and downright fails. So here are some of the most bizarre moments from the new game.
