    The game is perfect, the goalkeepers are much better and the gameplay is well balancer, the animations of the players and stadiums makes the player into the virtual field.

    I played the demo and i'm waiting for the full game, but how can people who are used to playing this game on PC rate this **** below 6? This feels like going from FIFA 13 to FIFA 15 and not 14 to 15. Finally we get the next gen version. The graphics are amazing, the animations are far better, not perfect by any means though, but it's getting there.

    After first minutes of play, the game is definitely different from the previous versions. Improved graphics quality, AI, off the field animations, commentary (although may still seem repetitive).
    However, there are some silly bugs (the most annoying being the one when all the players run towards the ball like a stupid child). EA needs to fix the bugs ASAP.

    To get one thing out of the way quickly, there's no way, at all, by any standard, this game should score less than a 5 from anyone. I can sort of understand a 5 or 6 as perhaps people are a bit blunted by the iterative nature of FIFA and the lack of substantial improvement to modes like Career and FUT, so the standards you expect on a yearly iterative game may differ substantially to mine.To get one thing out of the way quickly, there's no way, at all, by any standard, this game should score less than a 5 from anyone. I can sort of understand a 5 or 6 as perhaps people are a bit blunted by the iterative nature of FIFA and the lack of substantial improvement to modes like Career and FUT, so the standards you expect on a yearly iterative game may differ substantially to mine.

    But the core game itself is fine (odd random bug aside) with improved AI movement, greatly improved goalkeepers, a smarter aerial system where headers aren't the equivalent of a cheat mode and, last and least importantly, the graphics.

    The scripting arguments are, as per usual, stupid, but it's going to happen when a shot hits the post late on or you concede a scrappy goal, because nerd raging at the game itself is easier than looking at where you got it wrong. It's common in the Football Manager community too, it's the nature of the beast with sports gamers.

    As noted, bugs exist. I've played the PC and PS4 versions (the PC version, barring FUT, is probably the superior version surprisingly), and frame rate issues are real at times and ruin immersion in the game.

    But there's nothing inherently wrong with this title. Metacritic, for all its' plus points, will never reflect with a user score the games quality, so my advice is to ignore what everyone here says (including me) and play the free demo. You'll know inside 5 minutes whether you rate it or not.

    Great game, I have played fifa since the early days and this is a massive improvement over fifa 14. Much faster gameplay, first touch is much more intuitive with the higher skilled players being able to do quicker moves, taking on and beating players 1 on 1 running , dodging, doing special moves has never felt so good.

    It's not as easy to Steam Roll superior team on Amateur; the AI is much more intelligent.

    Navigational Control of the ball with attitude I have never seen in Fifa 14; most notably when one picks up the Skilled Dribbler Specialty.

    The visual graphics are incredible compared to Fifa 14; if one doesn't pay close attention... the crowd looks very diverse...

    It's a tad bit harder to score with the same sense of feel used in Fifa 14; one can't just mash the button and get ball in the upper corners of the goal.
    ================================================================================
    Cons:
    My game is unstable in Fullscreen mode and I have to run windowed to keep it form freezing; when game does freeze I would just Ctrl+Tab to go to windowed mode and it unlocks. Still better than having to lose the whole match and Save Point.

    If one just barely misses the post, the ball will bounce off instead of flying out of bounds.

    Still can't see the contract length with your current club.

    The music compared to Fifa 14 sucks; they tried to reinvent the wheel.
    ================================================================================

    All in all, I still enjoy playing Fifa 15 over Fifa 14. The control is much better and one can actually draw fouls in Fifa 15 with ease. I used to never get fouled in Fifa 14; but I have noticed that the AI does some heavy tackles in Fifa 15 and it does irk me when I get heavy tackled 3 times in a row and no foul is called.... It's still realistic about fouls...

    The game itself is a decent upgrade from Fifa 14. I think that owners of the previous edition, Fifa 14, should get a 50% discount to make the price fairer. If you liked Fifa 14 you will like this.

    In new season, master is in form. FIFA is still best football game. Significantly changed gameplay but is enjoyable playing with a friend at one PC or playing online, especially in FUT mode.

Your play no longer stops dead after you pass to a player who was standing still. More teammates will be looking to make offensive runs. First touches are more controlled but seem just as dynamic as last year. All the new animations really make gameplay more fluid... seeing a teammate jump backward to chest a ball down to the ground is amazing to watch, and has positive gameplay repercussions. Many lament the "arcadeification" of this year's version... but to me it really just seems like defending is just all that much more meaningful, and even... fun.

    The PC version is extremely playable! Few bugs but zero showstoppers. Don't bother with Ultimate Team though, just like in all the other versions, the transfer market is all bots.

    I'm honestly disgusted how anybody could give this game a 0, or say it's the same, I've been playing fifa on and off since fifa 95 and while the game does normally have 4 years in a row it's roughly the same with a big upgrade, well this year is the big upgrade for PC, now using the ignite engine the feel and play of this game is out of this world good.

It's nothing like pc fifa 14 which was just a rehash for 13/12 etc This is a massive step up in graphics, gameplay, but the biggest let down for me is they removed training? WHY?! I can't practice free kicks anymore.

    The game is a solid 9/10 but because people are being butthurt giving it 0s I'm giving it a 10 to get it near the correct ranking.

    What those butt hurt gamers are doing is making the devs think "we just migrated our ignite engine for nothing, they prefer the old rehash so lets stick with that" you'll ruin it for yourselves.

    FIFA 15 compared to it's predecessor, is in almost all ways better. The visuals are excellent, best licensing in a football game, the gameplay has moderately improved, the soundtrack is one of the best so far, and there are more features. However, despite all that, this game has some severe flaws, which luckily seems to be what EA is working on in the next game.

The visuals are excellent, best licensing in a football game, the gameplay has moderately improved, the soundtrack is one of the best so far, and there are more features. However, despite all that, this game has some severe flaws, which luckily seems to be what EA is working on in the next game. The main flaw is in the defensive gameplay. While playing this game, I have noticed what many have, which is that the defensive AI is distressingly incompetent. The reason I say this, is because the defenders do not mark players properly, tackling is very weak, and somehow defenders are able to catch up with players which have high-level pace. In addition, there are more AI problems. When you go up against the World Class and Legendary AI in the game, every team you can think of, suddenly has the same skill and speed as a five-star team (ex. Real Madrid, Chelsea) and that is unfair to the player. After getting passed the learning curve, you can beat the AI, but their aggressiveness is annoying to deal with as they pull on you shirt without getting a foul/booking and they constantly time waste towards the end of the match, when the score is on their side. In Ultimate Team, price ranges have been recently added, and I fully support them, but they do need an overhaul. Finally, many players have complained about the EA servers, and nothing has been done about it. In this review, the positives and negatives of the game have been highlighted. The reason I focus on the negative a bit more, is because these are problems that need fixing. In conclusion, this game is a major improvement in the FIFA series, but it still yields some problems that have not been fixed since FIFA 14, or new problems that need to be fixed. Good news is that EA are working on defensive AI for the next game, FIFA 16. Thank you if you made it this far, I hope this was informative. Expand

    FIFA 15 marked a significant progress in terms of graphics and gameplay. Although with familiar flaws, the re-do and new Frostbite engine showed and everythihg felt improved. To me, it was a huge step forward although it maybe marked a start in the worsening of pace inclination that sent kinda slow star players into ostracy in Ultimate Team, such as Toni Kroos or Sergio Busquets.

    A nearly perfect Fifa. But in career mode you often get fired. The goalies could be smarter.

    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.
