"FIFA 16" is now available for lovers of the beautiful game looking to show off their own skills on the pitch, and now, here are some tips to help turn even a novice footballer into one worthy of taking home the Ballon d'Or award.

One of the most useful tips for mastering "FIFA 16," according to NDTV, is to realize that for this particular entry of the franchise, nearly all of the statistics are now crucial. In previous editions of the game, players could simply get away with choosing speedy guys and be assured of success. This time around, players need to also pay attention to other attributes to ensure they can put a well-balanced team on the pitch that can score and defend with equal competency.

Moving forward to the football matches themselves, one tip that can help players improve involves simply recognizing what appears to be a slower game than before. Instead of pushing the pace all the time and jetting up and down the pitch in an attempt to score goals in quick succession, players will be better served by slowing down, staying in control, and letting the game unfold as they look to make the right moves on the pitch.

"FIFA 16" is not just about attacking either. When it comes to defense, players are advised to get a good feel of the tackling mechanics of the game. For those looking for a bit more of an advantage, they can also try to discreetly pull on their opponents' jerseys in the game to keep them from scoring, according to Digital Spy UK.

As always, practice is always crucial in any game, and "FIFA 16" is no different. Players who want to get better will be best served to go a few rounds with some friendlies to get their legs under them and to understand the game even more.
