Game developer Electronic Arts (EA) has recently announced that its football simulation video game "FIFA 16" will feature a new career mode and pre-season tournaments. EA'S "FIFA 16" is expected to have a new "FIFA Ultimate Team" draft system, which will be incorporated in the video game's career mode. EA has revealed this development last week during the Gamescom 2015 event held at Cologne, Germany, a report from Master Herald said on Sunday.
A related report from Business Wire said that EA's "FIFA" Ultimate Team is said to introduce a new FUT Draft which will give players an option to explore and test a selected team's building skills by competing with other football players in the world. The Career Mode, as the report cited, has two features, namely, the Pre-season Tournaments and Player Training. The two features were reportedly requested by avid fans of the video game.
"We are delivering unprecedented depth and innovation to the franchise this season by bringing several new ways to play across Career Mode, Ultimate Team, and through the introduction of twelve Women's National Teams. We think fans are going to be equally as excited with all the new ways as they have been with the gameplay in 'FIFA 16.' From hands-on gameplay events across the world, we've heard resoundingly positive feedback on the balanced and exciting experience we are building in 'FIFA 16,'" said David Rutter, vice president and general manager of EA SPORTS "FIFA," as quoted in its press release.
Meanwhile, Gamezone reported that the video game's pre-season tournament will give gamers an opportunity to play within one of three pre-season tournaments. This means all the teams that were able to compete in the friendly tournaments will be decided based on the performance of the whole team. However, it is emphasized that players will be given the chance to select not only the trophy but at the same time both the location and prize money.
"In Career Mode, Pre-season Tournaments will help managers grow transfer budgets and get their team in good form ahead of competition that counts. Managers will select from three of nine tournaments presented at the start of each season before jumping into their domestic campaign. Player Training will assist in the development of youth and squad players in between matches. Fans will select from more than 30 drills and put up to five players through their paces to improve faster. This opens up new ways to play, especially for those managers looking to develop youth players and transfer them to other clubs" said EA in a press release posted on Business Wire.
