In FIFA 16, goalkeepers are involved in and in bizarre scenes – or significantly involved. We showcase some goalkeeper fails in the video.
The goalkeeper in EA Sports’ annual football simulation has essentially always been a topic of extensive discussions and a cause of many player rants. Especially in FIFA 15, the player community agreed that the goalkeepers were a disaster. With FIFA 16, everything was supposed to get better. Was this endeavor successful?
Unfortunately, no! Goalkeepers in the game still show actions that make you want to throw your hands over your head. Granted, one has to admit that they generally perform more intelligently compared to the previous year and create fewer mistakes. Nevertheless, it is extremely frustrating when goalkeeper AI mistakes decide close games.
Whether one can chuckle about these unfortunate actions of the goalkeepers or is on the verge of throwing their controller against the wall always depends on whether they benefit from them or suffer a severe disadvantage. Now we want to take a look at a few of these wild goalkeeper actions.
These goalkeepers in FIFA 16 are having a bad day
In the first video, a goalkeeper puts all his potential into saving a ball. Somehow, the ball still ends up in the goal. Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear: Something is not right with his right arm.
In this video, the ball is deflected – sure, such situations are always difficult for a goalkeeper – but the ball doesn’t seem so impossible to save. The goalkeeper probably threw in the towel a bit too early.
At first glance, it seems that a flawless long-range goal is scored here. The replay shows that the goalkeeper made a rather strange attempt to save.
In the following video, the goalkeeper initially catches the ball excellently. Somehow, however, he has an accident with his right knee: own goal!
Finally, we have a video that compiles some goalkeeper fails. Anyone who has played FIFA 16 often will surely recognize some situations.
