The FIFA Game franchise is undeniably the best-selling sports game of all time, setting a record of 12.3 million copies of FIFA 12 sold within a single week only-beating other sporting video games like Madden, NHL, NBA, and other games. But still, fans of the game are fans of the game no matter what. FIFA 16 features, for the first time in franchise history, players form the Womens National Teams. Teams available to play are from Germany, USA, France, Sweden, England, Brazil, Canada, Australia, Spain, China, and Mexico. However, fantasy matchups of Mens National Teams versus Womens National Teams are not possible since the ladies can only be pit against their fellow female players.
In terms of popularity, EA’s FIFA series has been the undisputed leader but the Japanese heavyweight Konami has turned on the heat with its critically acclaimed Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) series. In the present year, both these franchises will try to capture the market with their respective games. Compared to Konami, EA has all the various licenses to the game but it still needs to upgrade its gameplay quotient every year so as not to lag behind in the gameplay. FIFA 16 will be no different as gamers can look out for improved gameplay and graphics. Video games are becoming more life-like on the latest generation of consoles particularly Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Sources told us that EA will be unveiling major graphics and gameplay improvements at the upcoming E3 conference. EA will be paying specific attention to the stadiums, individual player emotions, and improved commentary.
Here’s how the FIFA 16 deals stack up. the price is the same across the various consoles, but we don’t know about any deluxe edition yet, which would traditionally arrive with a $69.99 price. FIFA 16 $59.99 + 20% off + $10 Reward = $38. The 20% discount is up front and it is valid online or in store. The $10 reward certificate works online or in store, but it comes after you buy the game, not off your purchase price. With this deal you need to use it to pay for some other game or item.
David Rutter, vice president and general manager of EA Sports FIFA, told The Huffington Post that the creation of a prototype for female players took about two years. Adding women to the game required updates to the motion capture technology in the game. More specifically, the technology had to be advanced to feature female characteristics, such as hairstyles, to ensure the athletes look as real as possible. Another common observation was the fact that women’s bodies differ from men’s, though they weren’t talking about the 3D scanning and motion capture that EA undertook to “build new locomotion for women.”
After Electronic Arts teased that new information on its “FIFA 16” soccer video game would be rolled out this week, the first tidbit has finally been released. Announced alongside a new trailer -- and just in time to coincide with FIFA Women's World Cup 2015 Canada -- EA confirmed Thursday that stars of women’s soccer teams will now be playable characters. In a blog post, EA announced the full list of 12 women’s national teams that will be included in “FIFA 16.” Of the 12 teams, eight will be from the top 10 teams currently ranked in the FIFA Women’s World Ranking. According to EA, the female characters can be played in Match Day, Offline Tournament Mode and Online Friendlies.
Another way to start playing FIFA 15 earlier is to buy the EA Season Ticket or EA Access. For some dollars more you will be able to start playing the new FIFA at September 19, 2015. Like it happened this year, Android, iOS and Windows Phone users will not have to pay to play FIFA 16. However, it will brings only Ultimate Team mode. The new teams are listed as Spain, Italy, China, Australia, Mexico, Germany, Sweden, Brazil, USA, England, Canada and France. Knowing that you will finally be able to play a women’s team in the game should bring more attention to the video game franchise from the opposite sex.
If you were thinking it would be awesome to play as the 2011 World Champions Japan in the game, you will be disappointed since the team is not included this time around. The game is going to be developed and released for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and the Windows PC. You will finally be able to purchase your copy of the game when it is released on the 15th of September this year.
