10 Ways FIFA Has Gotten WORSE With Every Year

4. Recycling

One of the biggest problems in the gaming industry for series that bring out yearly titles is the recycling of elements within games which simply do not get upgraded for new versions.

Animations are the biggest case of this in the FIFA series. All new celebrations are always highlighted, but the same clips are used time after time, for bookings, penalty reactions and close misses. The commentary also falls into the same bracket, but the less said about that the better.

Other areas have similar problems such as menus as well as modes themselves. Finally, if you go down into the English divisions below the Premier League, most of the players are taken from five or six face designs. It would be a huge task to get every individual player right, but it shouldn't be too much to ask for more generic faces that could be used.
