Video game developer EA Sports is continuing to offer the Legends experience in the Ultimate Team mode for the FIFA series exclusively on the Xbox One and the Xbox 360, and this year a number of new players will be included for gamers to use.

For the first time, the chemistry element of the Ultimate Team mode will also be used for the Legends element in FIFA 16, which means that gamers will have to carefully pair players in order to ensure that they deliver the best possible performance.

FIFA 16 has not talked about wider changes to Ultimate Team

EA Sports has laid out plans to improve the overall security for the mode and to make it easier for gamers to get access to the best players and to integrate them in their team.

But there's no concrete information about any fundamental tweak to the Ultimate Team experience in FIFA 16, although there's time to get more details before the end of Gamescom 2015.

EA Sports is aiming to make the entire football sim more realistic by introducing new animations and a bigger focus on the way players and the ball interact on the pitch.

There are also nine new stadiums to play on, improvements to the overall presentation, and more ways for gamers to quickly get info on a situation so that they can find the best way to exploit it.

FIFA 16 will be launched on the PC, the Xbox One, the PlayStation 4 and older home consoles on September 22 in North America and two days later in Europe.
