FUT Draft
FIFA 16 Ultimate Team is all about giving you the chance to build, manage and play with the dream combination of your favourite players. You can play tournaments, seasons or one-to-one matches. But this year, there is a new way to play Ultimate Team: the FUT Draft.
FIFA 16 Ultimate Team Draft is a brand new mode inside FUT 16. This new mode will test your team building skills as you pick the best fit for each position from a five-player draw. Draft a squad and challenge opponents in a series of up to four matches to win big rewards for your club.
This is a separate mode inside Ultimate Team, which means that just like World Cup 2014 add-on, you can not buy or trade players in the market. You can use the rewards you receive in the FUT Draft to improve your original FUT squad but players can only be used in the FUT Draft and only during the four matches row.

User Interface Improvements
FIFA Ultimate Team in FIFA 16 features one of the largest year-to-year user interface changes since its introduction. From changes to items appearance to more streamlined menu experiences, you’ll be spending less time off the pitch and more time on it.
The new ‘Tag’ feature allows you to quickly deal with multiple items from your packs. Flick the Right Stick up to tag multiple items to either list them on the Transfer List, Quick Sell, or send directly to your Club.
Individual Chemistry meters now help users better see the Chemistry rating of each player. When swapping players you can now flick the Right Stick to the right to preview how adding a new player to your squad will affect the Chemistry of other players’. Players unaffected by the player swap will fade making it easier for you to understand who is affected by a particular position swap.
FUT 16 will contextually detect and recommend consumables based off the needs of your player. Should you find yourself missing a particular consumable you can search the Transfer Market for that item with the push of a button. You can also use LB/RB and L1/R1 to quickly browse through your Consumables pile without leaving the screen.
You can now swap your entire squad more efficiently using the new Player Swap screen. Use LT/RT or L2/R2 to switch between multiple positions on the pitch without ever leaving the screen.
