Tobin Heath’s skills on the ball do not go unnoticed, and FIFA 16 is set to recognize her abilities in the next installment of its game.
Popular soccer video game FIFA 16 announced every player to have five-star skill moves, a trait that allows access to every and all skill moves in the video game, and the 27-year-old U.S. Women’s National Team midfielder was the only American to have such trait.
Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, Barcelona and Brazilian playmaker Neymar, French midfielder Franck Ribery, Juventus midfielder Juan Cuadrado and more were among the notable names to have such a trait for the men.
Meanwhile, Heath joins Brazilian striker Marta as the only two women to have five-star skills.
Check out a video of Heath showing off her dribbling skills below and tell SBI what you think about FIFA 16’s decision to give her the five-star skills trait in the comments:
What do you think about Heath being the only American with five-star skills? Think any other players deserved the recognition?
Share your thoughts below.
yes she totally deserve it
Love watching Tobin. She’s such a great athlete.
Check this video out if you need more evidence that Tobin has skills – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJTWiAoEiL4
Great choice! She is fantastic! Can’t get enough of watching her wizardry with the ball.
How was it determined to give which players a 5 star rating? Surprised to not see Chrsitine Sinclair given that 5 star skills trait since she is one of the best if not the best in the world.

Um…bitter much??? You do know that you can say that Pinoe should also be on the list, without throwin Tobin under the bus, right?
But yeah, I guess the ones that made the game, plus 99% of woso fans are wrong about Tobin. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. 🙂
Pinoe is just as skilful as Tobin. In fact she’s even better because during the games she’s more functional with it whereas Tobin does a skill and then dribbles into defenders.
Tobin is one my inspirations in midfield. She is the reason my Thorns won the league in ’13. One of the players I’m thankful to watch on the weekend. I’m glad she loves it here. So much fun to see what she comes up with.
I like that she reads books. Nerds can be good at sports, and cool and funny, and I bet she’s those things too.
And I bet she’s reading these boards, and she saw that comment, and now she’s going to seek out and fall in love with the white knight who made it, and they’ll live happily ever after with cool and smart and funny and athletic babies!!!1!!1!!!! 🙂
Haha, from your mouth to god’s ears!
Is it possible to give tobin 6 stars?? She is so crafty it is incredible.
People should relax. The best player in the world is ‘only’ 4 stars.
Love Tobin, but I really feel like Megan Rapinoe is just as good if not better.
Okay, admit it. I know I wasn’t the only one who kept rewinding the part where the lady knocked the baby down in the park, right? Right…?
Nothing can throw off Tobin!
She is the best American at juggling and dribbling a soccer ball. She is number one among 350 million people in this country.
Wow, only one 5 star player on the USWNT, I guess we’ll just have to settle for them being world champions.
I know, right? I thought Press would make it as well, but maybe she hasn’t had as much exposure as Heath…
Weird considering the FIFA is a EA franchise. Is it developed by their European team?
Canadian, actually. So blame Canada.
“They’re not even a real country anyway!”
Now I have to watch the movie…
Question, where’s the video where Tobin shows off her dribbling skills? The video of her juggling was nice, but you said it would be a video of her dribbling skills.
It’s like if you offered us punch and pie and then when we showed up there was no punch and pie.
RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!!!
Yeah, that girl has always had amazing skills on the ball. I loved the video!
Love Tobin. She deserves this.
How was this determined?
Was it just of what they did in games or was there some sort of tryout or contest?
