The introduction of women's teams in FIFA 16 has brought in wholesale changes across the entire game, Channon says: "It's something we've been trying to implement for a few years, and when we made an early attempt we put women's heads on the male players' bodies. Obviously this wasn't a great build, but it provided our team with a checklist of things to do before we could get women's football right."

As a result, FIFA 16 now boasts a number of changes across the game, with more player animations, a revised locomotion engine to reflect the differences in women's sprinting, and an improved player body-type system with players that more accurately reflect their real-life counterparts. Another improvement? Better animated hair. "We realised a lot of women players have ponytails," Channon says, "so we had to develop a system to reflect that." So now Zlatan's man bun moves better than ever before.

Female players are ranked to a different scale to their male counterparts, and after playing a number matches featuring Germany vs USA, BuzzFeed can report that women's football in FIFA 16 makes for its own unique experience. Thanks to the slower game speed and quicker deterioration of player stamina, there is an extra onus on building moves through midfield and manipulating space on the pitch rather than relying on players' more physical attributes.
