NBA star Kobe Bryant and United States Women's National Team star Alex Morgan were featured in the recent promotional video for the association football simulation video game "FIFA 16."
In the "FIFA 16" promo video, Bryant plays as Morgan as he faces off against the real-life Morgan. The Los Angeles Lakers player managed to beat the U.S. Women's National Team star.
Morgan then asks Bryant how he learned how to pass. The veteran basketball player responds, "Who said I ever learned?"
"FIFA 16" is the first video game in the FIFA series to include female players. It was published by EA Sports for Android, iOS, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox 360.
Released in September, "FIFA 16" is also the first video game in the FIFA series, in which popular vote chose the players on the covers including the first women featured on the cover. For the U.S., the cover athlete is Morgan.
The other cover athletes of "FIFA 16" are Christine Sinclair of Canada, Shinji Kagawa of Japan, Antoine Griezmann of France, Marco Fabian of Mexico, Oscar dos Santos Emboaba Junior of Brazil, Arkadiusz Milik of Poland, David Alaba of Austria, Yasser Al-Shahrani of Saudi Arabia, Mauro Icardi of Italy, Arda Turan of Turkey, Steph Catley and Tim Cahill of Australia, Jordan Henderson of the United Kingdom and Ireland and Juan Cuadrado of Latin America.
While it comes up against "PES2016," which some consider as the best on-pitch representation of football ever made, "FIFA16" proves to be an excellent association football simulation video game that is light on sweeping changes but is heavy on refinement, according to Telegraph.
On the other hand, the fluid brand of football of "PES2016" is said to be consistently more fun than "FIFA16," which takes pride in its deliberate passing style, according to Digital Spy.
