2. Women's Football Is Refreshing
Women's football was an intriguing addition to the game, and a welcome new feature to FIFA 16. It was interesting to see how differently they feel compared to their male counterparts, and there are distinct differences. One the whole, the German and US national teams playable on the demo are a lot shorter than the men. This is visible on the pitch, and it instantly feels like there's more space there. The women have a separate rating system to the men, so 80+ rated players flow throughout, yet still there's a higher proportion of high-pace players in the women's game. Whether that's just a coincidence or not, I'm not certain, but the team certainly felt far more agile and nimble. It's an interesting mode that slots seamlessly into the game, though it remains to be seen how often people will use the women's sides.
