It’s almost a month until Fifa 16 comes out and we’re appalled at how EA manage to get us so excited about a game which is essentially the same every year. But as long as they have Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher doing promo for them – and specifically for a new mode in Ultimate Team – our capitalist overlords can be excused.
FUT Draft makes you pick the best fit for each position from a five player draft, allowing you to compete with that team of superstars online for a series of up to four games. But do you go for the best players or try and maximise the team chemistry? It’s the age old Ultimate Team question, and the new mode will probably succeed in drawing in players who usually stick to career mode because of how quickly you can play with a good team.
Neville and Carragher, whose relationship we’ve watched blossom on Monday Night Football over the last few seasons, were the two tasked with creating a team and then playing with that team. It went swimmingly, obviously. Oh, and it also features a classic Nevillegasm.
We don’t know about the chemistry of the team they picked, but we love seeing those two squabbling and then reluctantly agreeing with each other. Case in point – Carra on Messi.
Oh, and if you’re panicking about the ratings of certain players being too high or too low, that was only a beta version of Fifa and final ratings haven’t yet been formalised.
Roll on Monday Night Football and roll on Fifa 16, which is released in the UK on September 25.
