Fifa 16 on PC?

chocolateteddy

We do not have playstation, xbox etc but my boy wants Fifa 16 that can be played on our computer (desktop). I am very confused by all the different sorts of Fifa you can get. I can't seem to find it is this because Fifa 17 is just about to come out. Does anyone know where I can get a copy for the PC and is it similar to playing it on a games station? Or would I be better waiting and get Fifa 17??

Just get fifa 17. Fifa usually plummets in value when a new one comes out.

Alternatively try a month of Origin Access, has fifa 16 amongst others for £3.99 a month,, cancel any time and fifa 17 on a trial (think its 10 hours worth). Actually looks pretty decent value for the number of games included.

Noticed it is coming from America with an estimated delivery date up to 18 oct! wanted it a bit sooner than that really but will bear in mind

he says he is quite happy to have Fifa 16 or even an older one he just wants to be able to play football. he did play Fifa 15 on either ps or xbox whilst we were away on holiday

I assume Origin Access is safe - I know nothing about gaming (can you tell!) monthly sounds like a good idea I may trial Fifa 17 to see if it works on our computer. It is only a year old but I didn't buy it for gaming so unsure if it had the necessary specification to play these games. It would give him a chance to have a go. I assume the best way to play on the computer he would need a hand held controller.

Thanks for helping

Ok download a trial of Fifa 17 and it says

Detected Intel driver version 9.18.10.3204 06/03/2013 The recommended driver version is xx.xx.15.4251 or later Please update your drivers at downloadcenter.intel.com before playing the game.

Is it safe to update drivers??

Yes. Use windows update and it should find them all for you ( does all hardware drivers not just windows )

Yes Origin is EA's online games store eg you buy digital games via it, you will be fine, just keep the password a strong one.
