FIFA 16 Beta: 7 Annoying Problems EA Have Fixed

3. Goalkeepers Work

Goalkeepers actually work; it's a miracle. FIFA 16 instantly offers a bit of solidarity at the back, whereas FIFA 15's biggest flaw was the fact that if a player has a one-v-one chance, they won't miss it if they simply finesse the ball lightly beneath the flimsy, non-existent goalkeeper. They're not super-human on FIFA 16, though goalkeepers are now fantastic at punching away corners at every opportunity, but you do get an air of comfort when they do flail limbs that they'll actually do their job an deny the attacker a cheap goal. They can still make mistakes from time to time, but it appears as though goalkeepers are a marked improvement on last year. Mercifully.
