I'M Unhappy With Fifa 16

I’m Unhappy with FIFA 16

I'm unhappy with FIFA 16.
Passing's no good, the 
transitions sloppy.  15 was 
better: more excitement, maybe a banal
pleasure in how my plays tend to line up 
centre and build up to easy goals.

14 was much too fast for 
leisure but the right time I 
to teach me possession
seizure and unusual plans, that 
losing was predictability, and the
last time I held my 
position when the time came and 
every minute mattered.

Let's not talk about 13.

I like the realism in FIFA 16,
The pitch is detailed enough that I understand
how far I must run; when to
shoot. Sore thumbs and 
sofa-soaked tears 
are the easiest way.
Contrarily, pause: a
clean breath, a 
clear head - I 
conjure little moments of magic.
Controlling perfectly-timed passes
colours the game beautiful again.

(Written two years ago so wayyyy out of date but it meant a lot to me back then)
