Now I do have some red cards for the game (more subtle soccer terms). My squad, “For British Eyes Only,” are currently looking for some challengers. m圜lub is also playable online, so you can take your team online and see how you match up with the rest of the world. He would instantly become a trainer, but I digress. No longer would I get stuck with Mark Sanchez as my backup quarterback. I couldn’t help but think of how I would utilize these features in Madden. Ultimately, I had a lot of fun with m圜lub and I hope EA takes some of these features under consideration when they make future improvements to their Ultimate Team mode. So it’s a bit of a gamble, would you rather have your high profile players become trainers to help the other players quickly, or will you make some of the team’s bench riders become trainers? The choice is yours. Converting a better rated player into a trainer will yield better results than a player with a very low rating. There is strategy when converting as well. Converting players to trainers will benefit the rest of the team by improving other players ratings. You have the option to convert these players into trainers. Say you have some players that just don’t make the field, they aren’t up to snuff to take a roster spot.
Some agents vary in cost, (there is an in game currency that you earn by completing feats throughout the game, but also available through those damn micro transactions) the more high profile agents that will pull in better players obviously cost more.Īnother feature of m圜lub mode that stood out to me, are your team’s trainers.
You can pick up free agents and hire agents. Rather than dealing with packs of cards that gives you the players and coaches like Ultimate Team, m圜lub has players acquired through other means. Upon digging a bit deeper into the mode I began to realize, that while m圜lub mode was definitely similar or even inspired by Ultimate Team mode, it offers a rather different experience. Which seemed at first to be a direct answer to the Ultimate Team modes that EA Sports features in all of their titles. Jumping around between league matches and other modes, I stumbled into m圜lub mode. This is a problem I have periodically in other sports titles (spoilers for my FIFA 2016 review). plays extremely well, and when I say that, I mean they play well not only as your opponent but also as your teammates. I also feel like I should mention that the A.I. The controls took me some time to grasp, but once I did, I felt I had remarkable control over my squad. After heading down to the pitch and playing a handful of matches (see I know some soccer terms) you can tell that PES 2016 is a very true simulation of the game of soccer. I have heard mixed feelings on the PES franchise as a whole so I was intrigued to start this review. I have played FIFA exclusively up until this review. It’s also the first of the two soccer games I will be covering.Ī little bit more background on myself pertaining to soccer games.
Now, Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 (or PES 2016) is the first of the two soccer games (FIFA 2016 is the other) released in the states this year.
With reviewing a soccer title I’m looking more at how the game plays and what kind of features are offered. I enjoy soccer games every so often but I don’t consider them the type of sports title I need to pick up annually because the rosters just don’t make a difference to me. I’m a huge football fan… but in my regard that is of the NFL football variety or American football.
