Microsoft announced a new Xbox One bundle themed around FIFA 16

Team chemistry is the most important factor in any FIFA 16 Ultimate Team. While not immediately apparent as a player's pace or shooting statistics, the overall team chemistry dictates how well your outfit works together. Player positioning, teamwork, passing and more all come together thanks to player chemistry, and Shaikh believes that getting this as high as possible is vital. This doesn’t happen for every player though of course, I picked up Vermaelen for £10mil, and Jese for 11mil, so by no means astronomical figures which I probably could have negotiated down if I’d tried. Overall I think I prefer the cat and mouse approach to big signings because the reality in FIFA 16, was that it was just too easy.
 
Now there were a number of issues with player growth last year, some bug related and others design. But EA have chosen to target this area as it’s absolutely fundamental to long term success when it comes to Career Mode. International management was a feature that was called for year after year and EA finally listened: players can now manage an international side along with our club, which allows them to conquer all areas of global football, but there are some huge problems with the whole process and it’s become a waste of time, rather than a treat. A big problem is the fact that there are not enough international sides in the game as there should be for this feature to work properly. In the real world there are hundreds of countries battling for a place at the World Cup, but in FIFA just 60 battle for those 32 places. That means over half of the countries will qualify for the tournament.
 
I wouldn't have it any other way, though. It's been an amazing ride-one of the best game experiences I've had in years. This could be the culmination of everything I've been working toward... or a devastating defeat. At its Gamescom briefing on Tuesday, Microsoft announced a new Xbox One bundle themed around EA Sports' upcoming football game, FIFA 16. The new bundle, which will be available in a range of markets starting September 15, will give Xbox One users a chance to try out FIFA 16. The game officially releases on Xbox One on September 22. The game has become subject to the so-called “FIFA 16” women jokes because some believe that they don’t get to measure up to their male counterparts of the game.

 
While it is our responsibility to explore the pros and cons of each new FIFA when it arrives, we’re finding it impossible to doubt the belief of the team behind it. If this all comes together as intended, FIFA 16 really ought to be the greatest iteration of the series yet. As revealed by EA Sports, Legends will come with an orange chemistry with others players who are playing in the same league as the legends used to play. FIFA 16 will be released on 17 September for PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
 
In the real world of football it's very rare that players throw their legs around or do ridiculous spins to go past a defender, with a mixture of momentum, feinting and subtle touches of the ball usually the most effective way to do so. Lionel Messi is a perfect example of this, with the little genius dropping his shoulder one way before darting off in the opposite direction a delightfully common visual treat during Barcelona matches. Speaking of how he uses No Touch Dribbling in his game to beat defenders, Messi explained:
 
“First, I fake to the left or right with my leg, then in the direction where the defender is standing. I always try to wrong-foot him, so I can have a better chance of gaining the advantage. When one is face to face there is always more room and it is much more difficult for the defender because the attacker has more chances to break away in any direction.” It is believed that this new "no touch" dribbling feature can be used by clicking the L1/LB, stepping away from the ball (when in possession,) and use the left analog to shift and ghost past other players. The "no touch" dribbling feature is just one of many that EA has released for FIFA 16, which is set for release in September 2015.
