From EA:
Electronic Arts today announced that the demo for EA Sports FIFA 16* is available to download for PC on Origin, Xbox One and Xbox 360, and for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Fans can download the demo, starting today**, by visiting http://easports.com/fifa/demo.
“The demo is our pre-season and a chance for millions of FIFA fans to experience new gameplay features and find new ways to play in FIFA 16, like competing with Women’s National Teams and playing FIFA Ultimate Team Draft,” said Nick Channon, Senior Producer, EA Sports FIFA. “It’s an early look at some of the new features that will be included in this year’s game and a great chance for our team to hear what fans think about the game.”
FUT Draft, a brand new way for fans to test their team building skills and compete with some of the best football players in the world, is included in the demo. In this new mode, fans will choose from one of five formations, then a captain, and then go on to fill out the rest of their 23-man squad by selecting a player from a choice of five in each position. Once finished, they will compete single player or online*** in a single knockout string of four games to achieve rewards.
In Kick-off, fans can choose from eight club sides (FC Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Chelsea FC, Inter Milan, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid CF, River Plate and Seattle Sounders) or two Women’s National Teams (Germany and United States). The historic Santiago Bernabeu and two stadiums new to the franchise, BORUSSIA-PARK and CenturyLink Field will feature as official stadiums in the demo. Fans playing on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC will get their first look at the new Bundesliga Broadcast Presentation when Borussia Dortmund plays Borussia Mönchengladbach at BORUSSIA-PARK. Rounding out the demo are FIFA Trainer, a new contextual training system, as well as six new skill games.
Fans who expect to score goals in the FIFA 16 demo can learn the new celebrations by watching this video.
FIFA 16 innovates across the entire pitch to deliver a balanced, authentic, and beautiful football experience. Fans who pre-order**** FIFA 16 can choose from Standard, Deluxe, and Super Deluxe editions. The Super Deluxe edition offers up to 40 FIFA Ultimate Team™ Jumbo Premium Gold Packs, three FIFA Ultimate Team loan players for five games each, and two brand new celebrations from the EA SPORTS Football Club catalogue.
