FIFA 2016 is one of the most anticipated titles of the year. Football fans the world over are eager to take control of their favorite players on the field.

However, the game from Electronic Arts (EA) is far from perfect and the gamers would be the first to notice and chime in.

From FullFifa, here are some of the requested improvements that fans want to see. Please note that some of these are requests and some are already rumored. That means they may or may not appear on the actual game, depending on how EA responds.

Some of them want to see more of the human aspect of the players.

"FIFA manager career mode used to have a lot of nice features, like changing the prices of tickets, random events live visiting a sick child in the hospital, but then EA decided to banish all that and i would love to see it back."

From user "lodgie55" he states that player customization is a must have: "I think more player customization is required like tats beards etc would be nice additions along with a club request or club goal for career."(sic)

Other notable mentions are having more commentators, an Online Career Mode similar to EA NFL's version and acquiring the license for the Champions League (something rival PES has).

For its part, EA has announced some changes in the last E3 and FullFifa also covered that:

Announced improvements:

"- track skill players with defense (break down

- interception intelligence (considerable build up in midfield)

- more skills and better moments of magic with no touch dribbling

- clinical finishing

- FIFA trainer - to help players play better

- new physics engine and customizable playing with players"

The addition of women and the respective women's national teams are also an innovation, presumably to attract more female gamers.

Meanwhile, Attack of the Fanboy shared the initial player ratings leak for Real Madrid and Barcelona.

It should be noted that Lionel Messi is still the top rated player at 94, slightly ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo at 93.
