Yet, most players know this and have been enjoying the game for years (myself included). The sport’s intricacies aren’t intelligently replicated, tactical battles are simplistic and game-winning patterns are easily forged. Putting it bluntly, FIFA 16 doesn’t play a better game of football than PES 2016, nor does it come close. However, with PES enjoying the kind of rapid development that makes Harry Kane look a slow burner, it’s fair to say FIFA hasn’t had to look over its shoulder so anxiously for years. The FIFA property is a commercial juggernaut, one that will always sell vast quantities until the day a cheesy-grinned Sepp Blatter is placed on the cover.
