FIFA 16 Beta Review: 15 Hands-On First Impressions

2. Strength And Momentum Matter

One of the best aspects of the beta version is feeling the strength and physicality of players. No longer will pace rule the world, and no longer will a small attacker be able to batter a towering defender. It doesn't happen often in real life, and it won't happen often in the game. Defenders have a great presence, and they feel muscular when shouldering up to attackers. That's not to say they're unbeatable because attackers will always find a way in somehow, but they feel like a far meaner prospect than in other games. Fewer all-or-nothing tackles means that hustling and bustling is a more important feature of the game.
