As an unrepentant soccer fan, I speak for myself as well as millions of others who are painfully awaiting the much anticipated release of EA’s futbol powerhouse FIFA 16, when I say that this video is freakin’ cool.
One thing that I’ve always loved about soccer sim titles is their unique ability to capture the realism of the motions and visuals to a better degree than other sports games. Growing up playing games of all sports from NHL to Tiger Woods, nothing made me feel I was truly in the game more than FIFA. That’s why this promotional TV spot, showing some of the tech and real world inspiration behind the game, resonated with me. Combine that with the fact that players will be able to play as women (ALEX MORGAN!!!) for the first time, and you have a release that sports fans of all kinds won’t want to miss.
FIFA 16 drops on September 22nd in North America.
