Q Which version of FIFA16 should I buy?
A If you are buying it to play casually or not too bothered about Ultimate Team we recommend the following standard additions. These are the cheapest. Also if you do play Ultimate Team but rather not buy packs or desperate for best players this is for you. Remember having 40 packs doesn’t even mean you will get decent players and there is FUT Draft this year (read about that here). Prices will vary these are Amazon.
FIFA16 standard edition
Xbox 360 £39.99
… PS3 £39.99
… Xbox One only £42
… PS4 only £42
… PC Origin Code £49.99
If you play Ultimate Team a lot and really want packs as cheap as possible it is better to buy the deluxe edition. This gives £45 worth of packs for £10. 40 FUT premium gold packs (1 per week for 40 weeks). You also receive Messi on loan for 5 games. However there is also super deluxe download where the 40 packs are Jumbo premium (more items but not guaranteed to be players). We don’t think these represent as good value.
FIFA16 deluxe edition (console only)
Xbox 360 £51.99
… PS3 £51.99
… Xbox One £54.89
… PS4 £54.99

We think so yes it is the best looking gameplay wise for many years. Also new features especially in Ultimate team with FUT Draft. Meaning you can use the best players on Ultimate team without having to pack them or buy them! EA have also done a lot regarding security and coin selling in FUT16. Watch the FUT Draft video below between @fifaralle and @Hjerpseth. As above if you have more FIFA16 questions follow us on twitter and ask us @fifaaddiction.
