FIFA 16 - Authentic Football Narrative
Creating authentic match day experiences has always been fundamental to the EA SPORTS FIFA series. For FIFA 16, we are adding exciting presentation changes that will fully immerse you in the story of the match and your season.
Bundesliga Presentation Package*
One of the most popular leagues in the world, the German Bundesliga in FIFA 16 will now have its own authentic overlay package that mirrors broadcast matches. Matches involving two Bundesliga sides, will have the same look and feel as seen on match day.
New or Updated Player Starheads**
In addition to Barclays Premier League players and athletes from Women's National Teams, we have also captured the likeness of some FUT Legends, and players from the major clubs in Spain and other leagues around the world. (FUT Legends only available on Xbox One and Xbox 360).
New Weather Conditions & Different Times of Day*
Stadiums in FIFA 16 will be able to support a greater variety of weather options, with nine weather choices available. Expanding on FIFA 15’s sunny, overcast, rain and snow, FIFA 16 features those and includes hazy, partly cloudy, foggy, random variable rain showers and variable flurries. Additionally, we've expanded the number of available kick-off times.
Over 900 New Chants*
Building on club-specific chants introduced in FIFA 15, this year we have over 900 chants captured from grounds around the world. From South America to Europe and player-specific chants, the crowd continues to come to life in FIFA 16. Some of the new chants include PSG’s “Allez Paris,” and Liverpool’s “When The Reds Go Marching In”.
New Menu Options*
Explore the menus with our new interface that also includes the ability to choose the stadium of your choosing to serve as your background. Key moments from a match are easily available to watch again in our new Full-Time Highlight menu option.
Vanishing Spray*
Already a key tool for a referee, FIFA 16 introduces the use of vanishing spray during dead ball situations.
New Sideline Celebrations*
Celebrations now include the ability to run to the nearest cameraman for a close-up or make a dash to the substitutes bench and celebrate with your off-field teammates. Subscribe to our YouTube channel to see all of FIFA 16's new celebrations soon.
Story of the Season*
FIFA 16 will fully immerse you in the story of your club’s season. Our commentators will remark on key storylines, including notable player or team performances, big player debuts, and transfer rumours. In-game graphics and commentary will also pick up on interesting team stats for matches, and reference the wider context of league standings.
