Great news for FIFA addicts, as EA has just announced the immediate availability of FIFA 16 Ultimate Team game on both Android and iOS platforms.

Unfortunately, Windows Phone users won't be able to download this game just yet, and there's no telling whether or not EA plans to release it on this specific platform.

Anyway, FIFA 16 Ultimate Team is said to offer “easy to learn hybrid touch controls, and brand new ways for fans to build their Ultimate Team.”

According to EA, the game is powered by the third-generation gameplay engine, so players will now look, move and behave more like their real-world counterparts.

Additionally, the engine’s highly sophisticated AI promises smarter decisions for computer-controlled players on both ends of the pitch, making it easier for players to immerse themselves in the action.

There are many improvements in FIFA 16 Ultimate Team over the previous games, including the player likenesses thanks to the updated 3D head scans, as well as the new character models that bring players to life on mobile like never before.

New skill moves and, for the first time ever on mobile, player celebrations have been implemented as well. There are also new, fully hybrid, gesture and touch controls that should provide players with more options while keeping the game simple and fun to play.

“In the past, bringing FIFA gameplay to mobile always involved some level of compromise because the devices just didn’t have the muscle to handle what we wanted to do.”

“However, with the increased processing power and advancements in graphics on mobile devices today, we can now give fans console-quality gameplay on their phone or tablet, more akin to what they would expect to experience on Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3,” said Alex Grimbley, Line Producer.

You can now download FIFA 16 Ultimate Team for Android for free via Google Play Store. The game should be fully compatible with all devices powered by Android 4.4 and up.

For iOS users, the game can be downloaded for free via App Store. It should work smoothly on all devices running iOS 8.0 or later.
