Modern players are adept at maintaining control of the ball - while dribbling or while stationary - without actually touching it. “If you look at the likes of Messi and Ronaldo, they body feign and do a lot of movement around the ball,” says Channon. Fifa 16 makes an attempt to simulate this, using the left bumper button. As usual, moving the left stick while on the ball lets you dribble, but then tapping the bumper separates you from the ball. “Think of it like a clutch in a car,” says Channon. “Hold it down, the engine disengages, you’re now not in contact with the ball so you have a moment to feign, fake or body swerve, both while stationary and running with the ball, allowing you to ride a challenge.” Having that explosive movement in the aftermath would give you a sense of urgency which would bring up the tempo of the game. It's a sense of fresh air right there!
Last year, LB and Y (or, for PlayStation users, L1 and Triangle) was, without doubt, the easiest way to get in on goal. Attempting one of these passes in FIFA 16 will give you very limited success. Creating shooting opportunities is more difficult this year and you'll have to pass along to floor to make chances. Perfecting a skill move can significantly improve the amount of chances you are creating in a game. For me, the scoop turn is one of the most simple but effective moves in the game - a few of the more effective skill moves from FIFA 15 have changed (body feint) and are not as effective anymore. So this year is maybe the best year to learn a few more tricks. FIFA has long indulged fantasy scenarios and alternate-reality leagues and schedules. Look no further than Ultimate Team, which FIFA originated in 2008, isn't rooted in any kind of reality, and still is the franchise's most appealing mode of play.
FIFA Ultimate Team has, by a mile, introduced me to more spectacular performers in world soccer than watching two World Cups or all of NBC's Premier League broadcasts. It gets a boost this year with something called FUT Draft which, like its Madden NFL "Draft Champions" counterpart, lets players assemble a highly rated squad for short-term use, rather than labor through building an 85- or 90-rated side. Use a formation that will benefit you. If you have to play with 5 at the back, then do so and ignore what other people say, especially in messages. They are just hurt that you beat them. Similarly, if you struggle with scoring goals, put three strikers upfront instead of two to maximize your goal scoring ability.
The selection of the formation and the tactics will depend not only on the team, but also by their own way. Of course, the respective team and players must give the desired formation, since it makes little sense when you have to put a good player in the line-up just because you want to play with the formation. If you have not yet spent much time with FIFA 16 and are uncertain about the formation, you can try the solid formations like 4-4-2 or 4-1-2-1-2.
Overall, just practice playing the game and you will naturally get better. Defeat is a natural part of anything which will only serve to improve your game. After all, how can you improve if you never lose?
