PES 2016 vs FIFA 16: 8 Key Aspects Previewed And Compared

By Robert Zak /

5. Tactics

If you could get your head around the awkward menus of PES 2015 and actually find your way to the tactics screen, then there was a deep, rewarding system that paid more dividends than FIFA's relatively facile - but more accessible - offering. PES 2016 has simplified the tactics menus, giving you control over team and player strategies directly from the line-up menu, rather than having to scroll through confusing sub-menus. We've not seen too much on the tactics front in FIFA 16 yet, with much of the footage focusing on what happens on the pitch. FIFA tended to keep things simple in this area in the past, while letting you quickly make strategic shifts like the the infamous "Park the Bus" tactic. We're hoping to see more options to save custom formations though.
