FIFA 16's new dribble control system is my favourite new feature on the game. It gives a user the freedom to drive forward at the oppositions' defence and genuinely out think them (whether that is a virtual opponent or your best mate) and it really gives the game a more strategic element. You can now decide when your player decides to touch the ball and therefore fake a left or right movement that will throw your opponent off balance and allow you to dance round them in true Lionel Messi (who developed the feature using motion capture) fashion. If you manage to get the ball out wide and have your inside forward cutting inside against your oppositions' left or right back then the move can be a devastating way of leaving the defender for dust and getting a cross in or going for goal.
