Just finished discussing your case with our Specialists and he said unfortunately this is a known bug on their team. Here is the exact response I received during my chat: Has it also utterly stagnated over the last two years? You can bet Diego Costa's hollowed out soul it has.So, after chatting with EA Sports customer support, I may have a potential workaround for this issue, but I have not tried it yet. Is FIFA 16 still the best football sim you can buy on PC? Absolutely.

Yet since moving to the Ignite engine, the series has effectively stood still. Between FIFA 09-12, each new entry introduced bold new revisions-think 360-Degree Dribbling and Tactical Defending-which had a transformative effect on the actual football year after year. Technical triumph aside, there's no denying EA's soccer goliath is resting on its considerable laurels.

And, unlike PES 16's pitiful PC showing, FIFA 16 is a cracking port that runs well on a variety of rigs-I played on a (admittedly monstrous) 980 TI, and the subsequent 4K/unfaltering 60fps action was totally sumptuous. There are enough licensed teams, leagues and spot-on player likenesses here to, well, launch your own brown-envelope-free rival governing body. Make no mistake: this is still an exhaustive package. At £50/$60 for the standard edition, the lack of significant on-field improvements grates.
#Fifa 16 national team for free
While you can still play the rest of FUT for free and have a grand old time winning games as you build up the Chemistry rating of your team by tweaking your squad and formation, EA's love of micro-transactions is a reminder that FIFA 16 isn't exactly great value for money.
You have to cough up 15,000 FUT coins or 300 FIFA points to enter a Draft tournament-the latter costing roughly £1/$1 of real money per 100 points. This being 2015, these juicy card prizes don't come for free. The bigger the run of victories, the better the prizes-I bagged three Premium Gold Packs for a three-match win streak, one of which gave me Messi and Aguero as loan players. This time, the headline addition is FUT Draft a set of one-off tournaments that reward you for putting together winning streaks.
And of course, FIFA Ultimate Team (the absurdly addictive card-collecting mode) is back and remains the crowning jewel. EA's streamlined matchmaking is so confident and reliable at this point, instantly hopping into lag-free multiplayer matches is something you instantly take for granted. Whether playing as men or women, FIFA's life-swallowing online offering is stronger than ever. Slightly more languid turning circles mean dribbling in tight spaces is difficult, encouraging a more robust style of passing. The action is slower and more deliberate. The 12 national women's sides offered might be a little stingy in number, but it’s a start and at least an effort has been made to ensure their matches feel different from the men's game. Considering the impact last year's terrific Women's World Cup had on broadening the appeal of the sport, this is a welcomingly inclusive move on EA's part. At long last women are represented in a football game. FIFA 16 may occasionally give into the Dull Side of the Force, but at least it's progressive in other areas.
