FIFA Soccer 96
FIFA Soccer 96 is a 1995 football video game developed by Extended Play Productions and released by EA Sports for the Mega Drive/Genesis, Sega Saturn, 32X, Game Gear, PlayStation, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and MS-DOS-compatible operating systems. It is the third entry in the FIFA series, its tagline being "Next Generation Soccer". It was the first in the series to feature real-time 3D graphics on the Saturn, PlayStation, 32X, and DOS versions, using technology called "Virtual Stadium". The SNES and Mega Drive/Genesis editions used the FIFA 95 engine. It is also the first in the series to use real player names and positions, with ranking, transfer and team customisation tools.

Where FIFA Soccer 96 sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where FIFA Soccer 96 lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 52ahead of 8% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 43ahead of 83% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about FIFA Soccer 96
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
