But much like how some teams play better than others in real life, some players will react faster or slower and increase the possibility of crucial moves like scoring a goal from a tight angle or pulling off a red card-free sliding tackle.
FIFA is still a game of skill, you'll still need to make the right passes, switch to the correct players and score goals. So? Do a bunch of numbers really make a difference to how I play a game? Isn't this a game of skill? Obviously, those with a player rating closer to 100 are better. It's the single universal number that explains how good or bad a player is in FIFA 16 on a scale of 100.
Notice that number next to a player when you select him or her anywhere from any game menu? That's their player rating.
The way players have been rated has also changed, and this will definitely impact how you play. Delve beyond the obvious changes and you'll notice that the fine people at EA Sports have been busy tweaking the stats and numbers that every hardcore fan worries about, namely, player ratings. This year's FIFA 16 is a fine addition to the series with some big tweaks to gameplay.
