What's the story?
The game's developer, Electronic Arts, will include a number of new features and settings, which could well be one of their most cutting edge offerings in recent years.
Fans can now get into the finer details of an improved career mode, a 'build a club' feature and even see a difference in players decision making abilities based on their characteristics and abilities.

With regards to player ratings from Chiefs and Pirates, Khama Billiat reportedly has a 75 overall rating, making him the best Chiefs player in the game. Goalkeepers Daniel Akpeyi and Itumeleng Khune follow the Zimbabwean star thereafter with a 73 overall.
Over at Pirates, Thulani Hlatshwayo is the highest-ranked Bucs player according to FIFArankings.com, followed by the fan favourites of Thembinkosi Lorch and Vincent Pule.
That being said, while Downs remain the team to beat in the PSL, there has been a call among fans for the EA developers to include the Chloorkop outfit on the game.

In fact, Sundowns last featured on FIFA back in 2008, as supporters could select the Tshwane side in the 'Rest of the world' category.
Back then, goalkeeper Calvin Marlin had a rating of just 68, with the likes of Godfrey Sapula, Gift Leremi and Surprise Moriri being some of the top stars with overalls over 70.
