FIFA 16 Demo: 14 Reactions You Need To Know

10. Goalkeepers Are Much Improved

On FIFA 15, goalkeepers simply didn't work. Of course, there would be times they'd cling onto a ball, but on the whole they were an enormous mess, particularly in close range situations. Running through one-on-one with the goalkeeper should favour the striker, but it shouldn't mean that his task is complete. Burst away from the defence meant an instant goal as a tapped finesse shot would be enough to trickle the ball beneath the keeper and in. It was a broken system. But so far, keepers feel sturdy and won't just rush to the side when they come to smother a goalscoring opportunity.
