FIFA 16: 5 New Details Gamers Need to Know

FIFA 16 Defensive Upgrades

With FIFA 16 defensive players get a new edge thanks to the ability to maintain your defensive shape even under pressure. This plays into greater confidence that your team will back you up. There is now more team based defending and 25 upgrades help mobile defenders quickly adapt and adjust to cut off an opponent. EA promises that you will feel "freedom of movement," as you defend.

As you break off to take down an attacker, FIFA 16 is smart enough to bring your AI defenders together to cover the gap you just created by going for an interception or a takedown. Smarter team mates will also track attacks better and close down the angles to limit the power of even talented offensive forces.

There are also new slide, standing and fake tackles to help you steal the ball away and win it from the tackle so that you can turn the tide and head out on offense.

While the ball is in motion between players defenders can use better interception intelligence to identify a pass and get in between to steal the ball.
