Say something good about the gameplay of every FIFA after 2011 you've played.

DISCUSSION

My take:

FIFA 12: I only played it at either beginner or novice on the PC, but overall it was a pretty simple and fun time with no fancy BS needed to succeed. And I only played against AI, mind you. And I'll always remember that ridiculous cross from Michael Bradley that somehow landed in the net (I was playing the U.S. against Croatia and this was my attempt at a cross to Jozy Altidore).

FIFA 13: This one's a PSVita FIFA for me. Here I was always glad to do lofted throughballs to my strikers and hit them finesse curlers. Again, I only played against AI.

FIFA 14. Headers legitimately rocked, but I think in general the game's passing scheme was well rounded.

FIFA 15: The overall tempo of the game is nothing to scoff, and this is where you can definitely see the advantage of pace. But I don't intend to complain, that game did pacy strikers so well.

FIFA 16: Long shots. Those two insane rangers by Rakitić and that one absurd rocket by Ivanović are etched deep into my memory. And that was the DEMO!

FIFA 17: Again, the tempo of the game, including build-up. It feels like you could construct chances very naturally and do it your own way. In a way 17 feels like the most real-life-like to me.

FIFA 20, 23: TBA

Your turn.
