This year, you can run towards them after scoring to prompt a new celebration.AndthereвЂ™s a bizarre new feature that sees Tyler pass over to a hopelessly wooden Alan McInally, whoвЂ™ll report goals coming in from other matches. IвЂ™m sure the cameramen that patrol the sidelines are a new addition, or theyвЂ™re certainly more prominent than I recall. Other changes are rather more superficial. Referees will blow up for the mildest of collisions, but thatвЂ™s understandable: otherwise youвЂ™d never get a free-kick. Even Martin Tyler - whose commentary is more seamless and varied than ever this year - was moved to sympathise after one particularly lengthy period out of possession: вЂњIt must be so frustrating - they just canвЂ™t get the ball back.вЂќ TouchГ©, Mr. If sliding tackles are a little overpowered in PES, theyвЂ™re barely usable here instead, youвЂ™re best kiting attackers towards other defenders or the touchline, and hoping they either misplace a pass or take a heavy touch so you can step in with a standing tackle. And yet when you donвЂ™t have the ball, it feels more than ever like a non-contact sport. When youвЂ™re in control, FIFA is a little snappier than it has been of late вЂ“ it doesnвЂ™t take as long to release a pass, and youвЂ™re more likely to get a shot away before a defender steps in with a last-ditch challenge. In the menвЂ™s game, you can go several in-game minutes without coming close to touching the ball. вЂњPart of the reason the womenвЂ™s game showcases FIFA at its best is because the player skill level isnвЂ™t quite so high, and thus the occasional heavy touch or mistake means itвЂ™s easier to regain possession. The main caveat is that womenвЂ™s games seem far more prone to random glitches: I got a bug that rendered one pre-match tackling exercise uncompletable, while on three separate occasions my defensive line stayed rooted to the edge of the 18-yard box, leaving me with little support going forward.

Though it seems to take longer for strikers to get their shots away, and the best female players donвЂ™t quite have the close control of the superstars of the menвЂ™s game, these matches are often more dynamic, unpredictable, and exciting.

IвЂ™m not convinced itвЂ™s a particularly accurate simulation of the womenвЂ™s game вЂ“ the quality of the football is akin to a Championship club between two teams with unusually high passing stats вЂ“ but I probably enjoyed playing as the women more than the men because of these mechanical differences. And EA Sports hasnвЂ™t simply reskinned the menвЂ™s game youвЂ™ll notice tangible differences when playing as women, while female players have been fully motion-captured and look authentic. This yearвЂ™s World Cup saw womenвЂ™s football reach a much wider audience than it ever has before, and itвЂ™s heartening to see 12 international womenвЂ™s teams represented here for the first time. ItвЂ™s ironic that this should happen in a year when FIFA introduces the single most progressive feature of the two games.
