    Where the previous FIFA installments have been focused on slower paced football and more physical play, FIFA 15 has taken a step back towards a more arcade-style gameplay as well as improved the goalies dramatically. There are no doubts that FIFA 15 is a beautiful and entertaining game however the question is if EA knows in what direction they want their beloved series to go.

    It doesn’t feel like you are actually playing a new game in the franchise, rather it feels very much like you are playing an updated and expanded version of last year’s game.

    EA can quite fairly claim to have again delivered the best football game ever made. But every year the developers seem to have less of an idea what that means.

    I could not shake the feeling that gameplay changes were introduced only to justify publishing a new FIFA. I launched brilliant FIFA 14 for comparison and could not believe how much the designers lost their way. Why try too hard to reinvent something almost perfect instead of just polishing it?

    A pretty decent football game that unfortunately has more bugs than Starship Troopers.

    FIFA 15’s biggest changes are cosmetic, and that will is absent. FIFA 15 plays, more than any other recent FIFA sequel, largely the same.

    FIFA 15 could’ve been brilliant. The presentation, different modes and gameplay are top notch, but the online gameplay often doesn’t function like it should. It’s strange to realise what we’re willing to accept just to play a football game, but the simple truth is that there is not a good alternative right now. The game is passable, but PES 2015 has a serious chance to win the cup this year.

Bunch of reviewers posting the same "9 or 10" scores with extremely similar comments like "great improvements, good job EA!". Really? Am I supposed to believe that?
    I love FIFA, I play it every year, I noticed new improvements ... but it's shocking to see this receive above 7/10. Definitely respect making a game is hard work (and difficult to re-build an already successful formula). But let's talk the truth: Yearly improvement gaps have really reduced in FIFA 13, even less in FIFA 14, and now intolerably less in FIFA 15. They've added a bunch of small improvements which are totally meaningless and forgettable. Wish they adopted a philosophy of "create or 1-2 major things". Is it a mode? Is it a feature? Is it AI and tactical improvements? Not sure. Just saying, I'll switch to PES this year just to see what's happening there :-)
