FIFA 16: 10 Common Complaints (That Are Total Bullsh*t)

6. "Crowds Are Lifeless"

Although you might be thinking that this is a rather silly complaint, it's not necessarily the fact that people rubbish the admittedly poor quality of the crowds that's B.S, but the wider implications that FIFA somehow lacks that classic footballing atmosphere. The background aesthetics will usually be the go-to example of EA's "lifeless" atmosphere - and yet you couldn't find a better example of FIFA's commitment to delivering an authentic football experience. While the crowds are admittedly full of shoddy textures and canned animations, the attention to detail goes beyond mere graphics. With authentic chants, a sea of coloured shirts and reactions to the most dramatic parts of a match, the background crowd actually does a great deal to sell the theatrics occurring on the pitch. And this subtle dedication to atmosphere is present in every part of the game, from the dynamic replays to the increasingly sophisticated commentary, all coming together to create the definitive footballing experience on console.
