    Like Chickens with their heads cut off. You just run after the player and you can not take the ball off him. You can't tackle or slide tackle a player.....rubbish!!

The gameplay is abysmal. The AI is utter nonsense,the players run wherever they want,you cant really control them apart from the selected player which also usually does whatever he wants.You can press the tackle button but the mechanics are broken and sometimes the player wont even obey to the command. The players randomly fall when getting the ball.If the ball goes near a player but is intended for other player from the same team you cant intercept it, it randomly finds itself bouncing off the player at several meters,the tackling is broken,passing is random as you cant control other player movement.They usually wont go where you want them to.Goalkeepers are dumb as hell-sometimes blocks every damn shot and sometimes the just stand and let the ball go in.Also i missed many shots when the goal was empty because the shooting is random.You can simply miss the 100% goal because of broken mechanics.Do yourself a favor-never buy FIFA 15.EA killed NBA Live series,i hope the same wont happen to Fifa.But right now-i want my money back...

    Fifa 15 is another release for a highly acclaimed and publised release of association football. This years release has had a multitude of improvements, such as graphics and physics. Let's start.

    The good things about this game is the graphics and physics that have now been implemented in the PC release. They look fantastic, with a slight problem with draw distance i might add. the grass doesnt have a very far draw distance which is very noticable. The crowd also have texture pop-in that is noticable also.

    The soundtrack this year is very nice. Some unknown music tracks have become very popular because of this game (Kwabs).

    The drawbacks:
    the lack of realism. I'm sure some of you are aware that this game has scripting issues that ruin this games enjoyment. A 30 pace player can keep up with a player twice as fast. Scripting is designed to make the game more fair for players with pacey players.

    The game lacks any sort of tutorial that is meaningful. I would love to have a tutorial for skills, passing and positioning. I feel that veteran players of this breeze through due to years of game play, but novices will struggle and find it very hard to learn this game.

    Areas for improvement:
    Stop the scripting. Maybe it would be a good idea to stop pairing 3-4 star teams with 5 star teams on ultimate team?
    My bronze team faces 85 rated teams regularly, which i think its absolutely unfair.
    Fifa point pricing. I feel that the pack sizes are far too small and do not contain enough to sustain a club for long. It appears EA have successfully gone through a loophole in gambling laws because this feels exactly like gambling to me. You pay EA to give you a pack that COULD have a brilliant player in it, which is touted all over their advertisements in the menus. This is straight up gambling in my eyes.

    Final verdict: It's OK. The offline game play is more fun than online. I think online has major latency issues because of unrealistic pairing. If you live in USA or Europe, you might encounter frequent laggy games.

    The offline football manager mode should be all about players personality, custom tactics and teams, manager creation, stadium building, sponsorship deals, custom kits, team training etc.

    Put more effort into next years game EA, or Konami will eventually be the more preferable option.

    I've been playing this game since FIFA 10 and I can honestly tell you this is by far the worst FIFA yet. FIFA 14 was also bad, but this is on a whole new level.

    If you're a better than average player, you'll want to break the controller always, because there isn't a SINGLE f'ucking game without a stupid bug and the outcome of the game depends a lot more than it should on luck. If you played it, you know what I'm talking about.

    I've been a fan of the FIFA series for years, but I can honestly say: DON'T BUY THIS GAME! EA doesn't give a sh*t about fans' opinions and don't bother to change a thing about their stupid game.

    Every year people are complaining that FIFA is the same as last year, but, it is always WORSE than last year. EA does not care about customers at all because no matter what they do they would make money anyway. So I am going to ask my money back this time.

    well, fifa just keeps getting worse and worse doesn't it? Gotta say this year it stooped to a new low. The bad far outweigh the good.

The bad far outweigh the good. I can honestly say I found only 2 positives from this year's version: 1. the graphics - The game looks absolutely stunning, it's so obvious. Simply amazing. Love all the animations (except the ones you can't skip, specifically when there's a foul and the players start pushing each other around and the penalties!!... God, the penalty animation sucks!!) I like how in the middle of a match they show you highlights of goals or upcoming matches. That was quite creative. 2. The soundtrack - FIFA know how to select their music, I always give them that. This year the OST totally blew me away. I actually like more, if not half the songs in there (The Valleys, Busy Earning, Uh La La, Wild heart and Come Alive being my faves) The soundtrack almost make up for what a stupid game fifa has become.
    Now.... the negatives! Where to start?? Well, the game is terribly difficult!! I play mostly against the AI (Career mode) and I've found it difficult to get past Professional. It's become almost impossible to score, not that you are not skilled, but I feel the AI tries as hard as possible to beat you, hence making it a bit unrealistic. For example, when pressing AI players you'll take about five seconds (if you are lucky) to dispossess them of the ball. however the reverse takes less than a second. The slightest push on your player and the ball changes possession. It pisses me off ESPECIALLY when even stats state otherwise. Once Raheem Sterling effortlessly took the ball from Daley Blind and I was like... "did that just happen?" Sterling (aggression 34, strength 67)pushed Blind off the ball? Ridiculous! And air balls are a pain in the neck. Your players make no effort whatsoever to reach them. Crosses just end up on a defenders head then you hear Martin Tyler go "And that's a great defensive header..."always feel like throwing up. They threw gameplay physics down the drain with this one. Then there's GTN which is absolutely useless. I liked fifa 13 bcs you knew all the players ratings rather than wasting 18 days to scout a player just to find out he's rated 68. Who has time for that when the January window is only 30 days?? And why the hell did they remove saving replays?? What's the point of scoring hard fought goals if you can't go back and watch them?? And custom playlists?? Just disappeared!! Totally outrageous!!

    Only improvement from last year is basically ability to save team sheets, almost everything else is gone worse if anything. Passing is the worst thing in any video game for a second year straight at least, makes you want to kill people unless you like losing.

    It's not a secret people play FIFA mostly cause of FUT and Pro clubs. I mean, career mod in this game is boring sh*t, even on legendary bots can be beated by 2-3 combinations.

    Next problem is EA support for this game. As I said, I've reported several bugs and sent (!!!) solution to those problems, BUT NO GODDAMN REACTION FROM THEIR SIDE. But yeah, they get money for FIFA points, stupid people pay even more than 50 dollars for this game just cause of addiction to this scripted gameplay.
    And about gameplay-I've participated in some tournaments and understood, what you can beat everyone without passing, using skills, etc by players like Walcott, Sanchez, Balotelli because they are OP. Many players in this game are OP as hell. But players like Xavi, Iniesta, Modric are useless. Because Americans don't know anything about football. Neither do Canadians.
    Pro clubs: 'nuff said, bots are useless piece of crap, they can't do nothing except scoring in your own goal. I've played 200 games in Pro clubs. Won't play this game anymore. It's enough for me.

There is no manual match search which means you have to face lob pass to Aubameyang every single game. I am not going to pay for FIFA 16 if these absurdity remain.

But that is not saying much, the intro is still far from perfect.

    Now to the backbone of the review - the Cons. In overall the game sucks. I'm so tired of this rubbish dirt year after year after year. Majority of the game modes have not been updated since Fifa 13, main focus of the game is Ultimate Team. Why? Because $60 is not enough for EA and they want to milk their customers like a cow all year long forcing them to buy Fifa Points for packs. Ultimate Team itself is a dirty place, online in general is dirty, everyone will try to exploit the game through tons of glitches which are never patched and abuse the game with pacewhoring. Speaking of the latter, all you need in this game to win is speed. Pacey player with zero shot will stomp over a slow player with %100 shooting. Pace, pace, pace. Ever heard of the guy called Ibarbo? Well, in Fifa he's better than the legends such as Gerrard because Ibarbo can outrun the entire defense. Doesn't help that the defending is stiff and atrocious, you force your defenders into pressuring the opponents and they just run past the ball like kids! EA even forces you to use their horrendous Tactical Defending in online matches to make things worse. You send your defender to get the ball and he just stands there joggling, GO GET THE BALL!!!! Meanwhile you can't pass the AI defenders without being forced to use 50 dribbling combinations which is this game's second main problem after pace abuse. How many times do you see real world class players use skill moves in a soccer match? Will be lucky to see 1 huh, but in Fifa games it's all about a freaking dribbling and skill moves. And you're forced to learn all this stuff because without dribbling your strikers can't pass the defenders for sh*t (if they are not 90 pace of course). So yeah, hours after hours in practice mode learning 4 start button combinations. Did I pay $60 to have fun or to f**cking learn and memorize like a math class of some sort?! Give me a break. The old players are useless in career mode, legends such as Gudjohnsen and Ferdinand are getting schooled by the youth reserve because EA wrecks their pace and balance stats to non-playable. Just because they are over 30... Anyways I can go on all day about why this game is bad but I'm sure you're not gonna read that much. Thanks for paying attention all the way up to this point.

    The problem with Fifa every year is that it wants to cater for the people who believe football is all about skill moves, high speed arcadey play and stupid coloured accessories.

While the animations and physics have improved drastically this year as every year EA can't shake off the desire to simplify and dumb down the game to the extent that speed passing and silly tricks are promoted over teamwork and tactics. Pro clubs is especially rife with the 'win at all costs' mobs who seek to use exploits, speed passing and cheap gameplay tricks to win instead of working to a game plan.

    Unfortunately Pro Evolution Soccer, which has historically been the football game for the genuine football fan is still lagging behind. Hopefully one day it'll catch up, but for now we can just wish for the day when beauty will return to the beautiful game.

    If the team at EA Sports gets the balance right between attack and defence, this game would be near perfect. But as it stands, FIFA 15 feels like a slightly improved version of FIFA 14, a game that itself was near footballing perfection.

    EA Canada has done an excellent job. Yes, there are some rough edges like too many player errors during throw-ins or kicking the ball over side line in cases where it would be better to kick it to the middle of the field. Too many hits on the goal posts and bar. But developers have managed to conquer new heights where they will sure nest and polish this flagship series, until the time comes for a new breakthrough.
