FIFA 16: Release Date and Challenging Clubs to Control in Career Mode
Career modes are still the best part of any sports video game. In FIFA 16, gamers are still able to take control of clubs as the manager.
If you're not interested in a challenge, you'll probably go straight for FC Barcelona, Real Madrid or Manchester United. If you want to push yourself a little when the game releases on September 22 in the United States and September 24 worldwide, here are three teams to target.
Chicago Fire

How many people actually choose Major League Soccer teams in FIFA career modes? The Los Angeles Galaxy, Toronto FC or the Seattle Sounders are probably the teams chosen most often, but what about the Chicago Fire?
They're only a 3-star club on FIFA 16, but that's all the more reason you might want to guide them to American soccer supremacy. The Fire's top player is Ghanaian striker David Accam. He's rated a 73 overall in the game, but he's just 24 years old.
His sprint speed is a 93 and acceleration a 90. With the ability to upgrade his skill level, you could develop him into the best player in the country. From a team standpoint, making the Fire the kings of the MLS is a task, but it should be fun trying to accomplish the goal.
West Brom
It's all about Jose Salomon Rondon when it comes to West Brom. The 26-year-old striker is the man for the mediocre English Premier League club. In this league, you'll be playing against some of the strongest competition in the sport.
Translation: You might get your butt kicked all over the pitch for a while. Rondon's age leaves some time for him to be a long-term part of your rebuilding plan.
Your first order of business should be replacing Boaz Myhill with Ben Foster at keeper. The latter is listed as a reserve for the club, but he's rated a 79 as opposed to Myhill's 72. You'll need to develop players and be smart on the transfer market, but there's a future for West Brom.
Athletic Bilbao
The problem with this club is age. Aside from left wing Iker Muniain (22 years old) and center back Aymeric Laporte (21 years old), most of the club's best players are up in age. Luckily, Laporte and Muniain are both studs who figure to get better over the next few seasons.
Your first order of business should be to protect them from leaving as long as possible. Building around this offensive and defensive duo is imperative. From there, developing young talent and finding a stud goalkeeper should be a priority.
