There are also a number of offline features such as creating a young player and building his career to take him from Drogheda United FC (infamously the worst team on the game) to Chelsea, winning the Champions League 10 times in a row. These include the ability to create your own team from scratch and pitting it head to head against players across the globe.

In the first week of it being on the market, almost 1 million physical copies of FIFA 16 were bought worldwide, not to mention all the downloads from various online stores which is estimated to have pushed that figure to just over 1.1 million.
