Thank you, it’s good to know :). Now, I just hope for some improve in pro clubs to be honest. It’s the best game mode in the game for me and all of my friends, but there are a lot of things that has to be done. Hopefully, there will be some more big news at the upcoming Gamescom.
Are you sure about dynamic weather? I know just about two new weather types – foggy and hazy and according to Nick Channon there is no dynamic weather in fifa 16. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5lEtTti_s0 from 3:47 :-(.
Very good point. Maybe we are calling the wrong name. According to Gillard Lopes, there will be news about the weather in the coming weeks.
What do you mean by fifa 16 will be free in the vault?
It means that, just like it happened with FIFA 14 and FIFA 15, the new FIFA will be released for free to all EA Access subscribers.
I thought it mean everyone got it for free.
How are they ensuring no more extinct players?
We don’t know exactly how they will do it. But we know they will. Probably they will add an option to buy the player for the maximum price range to the game.
Extinct player? What does that mean?
Extinct players are the players you can’t find in the market.
