FIFA 16 Demo: 14 Reactions You Need To Know

1. Ultimate Team Draft Needs Tweaks

The Ultimate Team Draft was one aspect of the game that grabbed a lot of attention from fans, with most sports games coming complete with new draft modes. FIFA's is fun, but it still needs work to make it great. It's nigh-on impossible to get a top level of team chemistry running through your squad, though it's too easy to produce a stunning crop of players, although that may be in part down to the limited demo teams. EA Sports did a fantastic job with Madden's version, where users can pick 15 players to add to their squad which contains 30 active offensive and defensive players. After those 15 picks, they're left with the basics of a squad with mediocre players. That's part of the fun, though FIFA allows you to select every position and an entire list of subs and reserves to swap in at any time. Dropping the number of draft rounds down to 5 or 6 means that half of the team will be stars and forces players to prioritise where they want to be strongest. EA could even add in an option that would mean players could only choose from 5 selections of gold-rated players, and the rest must be drafted from silver or bronze. It would give teams the chance to experiment a bit more, rather than repeatedly selecting world XIs for every game. It could lose replay-value if it isn't more of a challenge to gain a top team.
