Though not all versions could handle all the new features ''FIFA 96'' brought to the table, the game was revolutionary for having a running commentary provided by John Motson, and it was the first 3D entry to the series.

==Versions==

The Mega Drive's rival, the Super NES, did not receive the previous years' ''FIFA 95'' (instead getting a bespoke variant of ''FIFA International Soccer'' in 1994, different to the 1993 Mega Drive edition), so ''FIFA 96'' acts as the first title to see a simultaneous release on both platforms. While the codebase likely stems from the Mega Drive, the Super NES version of ''FIFA 96'' operates with a much lower frame rate and can slow down further when many players are on-screen.
 +
 
 +
Performance issues would be a running trend with the Super NES conversions of ''FIFA'', with ''[[FIFA 97: Gold Edition]]'' and ''[[FIFA Road to World Cup 98 (Mega Drive)|FIFA Road to World Cup 98]]'' also running noticeably slower than their Mega Drive counterparts.

    FIFA Soccer 96 is an entry to the FIFA series of video games, and was developed by Extended Play Productions and published by Electronic Arts for the Sega Mega Drive.

    Though it was not the first FIFA game (both FIFA Soccer '95 and FIFA International Soccer had come before it), FIFA 96 is often considered the first truly successful FIFA game, and opened the doors to annual sequels that continue to this day.

    Versions

    The Mega Drive's rival, the Super NES, did not receive the previous years' FIFA 95 (instead getting a bespoke variant of FIFA International Soccer in 1994, different to the 1993 Mega Drive edition), so FIFA 96 acts as the first title to see a simultaneous release on both platforms. While the codebase likely stems from the Mega Drive, the Super NES version of FIFA 96 operates with a much lower frame rate and can slow down further when many players are on-screen.

    Performance issues would be a running trend with the Super NES conversions of FIFA, with FIFA 97: Gold Edition and FIFA Road to World Cup 98 also running noticeably slower than their Mega Drive counterparts.
