It all came down to money. According to The New York Times, FIFA was asking for double its $150 million licensing fee to allow Electronic Arts to continue using its name. EA, meanwhile, was starting to question what it was actually getting for that money.

Graphics : The best FIFA yet is FIFA 17 for sure. The FrostBite Engine really kicks things up a notch and makes it way more realistic than before. Gameplay: We've definitely seen better from EA. But most people don't realise it's about the bugs in the FrostBite Engine that is the problem, and not the overall gameplay.

FIFA 16 is not only better, but more challenging than FIFA 15. PACE: In FIFA 15, pacey players had a big role to play. The difference in the sprint speed of 2 players was visible. In FIFA 16, pace isn't important.

The best way to score in FIFA 16 that I have found is Finesse Shots (RB and B on Xbox One). If you're one on one with the keeper, simply finesse it in the corner. When your opponent is attacking you, simply contain and don't rush into the challenge. In FIFA 16, you need to pass it more than in previous games.

Original story: After almost 30 years, EA Sports and FIFA are parting ways and EA will chart a new future under the name, EA Sports FC. Aside from the name change, the lack of a licensing deal means there could be some changes to the tried-and-true FIFA formula.

EA has parted ways with world football governing body FIFA after a 30-year partnership, and is now going it alone, rebranding its soccer series as EA Sports FC.

EA has made it much easier and better to dribble in "FIFA 18" by making the animations "frame-by-frame." This makes players feel less like they have to complete a whole animation after you've made a move or pressed a button. It gives you a lot more control when you're using the left controller stick to move.

Not as bad. Some people might find gameplay slower and goals are easy to score but overall I found 18 to be much more enjoyable than 14,16,17. Due to changes in career it feels much more realistic.

Theo Walcott Announced as FIFA 16's Fastest Player

• Theo Walcott (Arsenal) – 96.
• Mattis Bolly (Fortuna Dusseldorf) – 96.
• Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund) – 95.
• Ernest Asante (Stabaek Fotball) – 95.
• Jurgen Damm (Tigres Uanl) – 95.
• Gareth Bale (Real Madrid) – 94.
• Jonathan Biabiany (Inter Milan) – 94.

So that's why you move the left stick by the way. So I've just done shooting. And parcel and move the left stick up like that and I'll put it that way with deercucco.

The game formerly known as Fifa is now called EA Sports FC after the company's three-decade long partnership with football's governing body came to an end. The new game, EA Sports FC 24, will be released on September 29 worldwide.

And just like that, it was gone. EA appears to have delisted every FIFA game from every digital game store - including Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation - just two days ahead of the launch of the first game in its replacement franchise, EA Sports FC 24, on Sept. 29.
