The ball is like metal and the shoes are like magnets, nearly impossible to take the ball from anyone who know how to keep it and every player not in possession feel like tanks. The matches themselves feel very "scripted" and I have never lost soo many 50/50 duals in my life. It is not acceptable to charge full retail for this, get ur head out of ur ass EA and listen to the fans and for gods sake Stop release unfinished games.. or we will give U the grand prize of "worst company in america"...4 the 3:e time.

    Fifa 15 is absolutely **** to say it out loud. The feeling of playing the game is completely lost. I have played fifa since 2006 and i have loved it since, but this is madness, how can a fifa game be so **** I really don't know. The feeling of controlling the player isn't even close to be there

    This is not a good game. I have played 102 seasons in the co-op season in FIFA 14 and this game has many flaws. The game has poor AI, it drags, it's full of bugs and it is almost unplayable online.
    Goalkeepers act like retards.

    A tip for EA is to start to focus on gameplay and stop focusing on the details.

    Looks like playing the same game, but worst. I don't know why some weirds things happens in this version again. Tactics does not exist and the game still linear the whole 90 minutes, its not soccer.

    It's the same game as FIFA 14, but without Brazilian league, with updated squads, destructible grass and stupid face animation. EA Sports, they've done it again.

    This game is without a doubt a step backward from FIFA 14 which itself had numerous problems.

    The list of problems is almost too long to entail, however I will cover some of them; overall this game is really bad.

    It's frankly laughable that they said they have "revolutionised" goalkeepers, some of the strange decisions and mistakes that "world class" keepers have made have blown my mind. The defenders in general are a joke, they stand around watching 94 pace players waltz through, they get shrugged off the ball by basically anybody who isnt 5 ft 1' and isn't made of paper.

    They watch balls through the air fly through from goalkeepers hands, generally pace and decision making of the defenders seems really strange and inconsistent, frankly FULL of RNG and bugs.

    Dribbling and so called "sweaty play" is totally overpowered and unrealistic, take any players with a bit of pace and dribbling and you can go pace 8 players from left back and smash it in top corner.

    "KSI" goals still work along with a new, even more horrifying, "zig zag" technique from the kick-off where a pacey player runs through all the defenders who are on their mobile phones or waving at fans or somthing, who knows? They literally (other than the one you are controlling) stand still and watch the player run through in the first seconds of the kick off and score a goal.

    Bugs and RNG in general play are really, really frequent. Players "floating" through balls, being ranomdly shoved off by suposedly thin air. Emotional intelligence literally seems to be nothing other than RNG / useless eye candy which decides to punish / reward you for some innane random tackle or decision.

    The referee's and also the foul decision system is without a doubt (played since FIFA 10) the most ridiuclous inconsistent and buggy pile of steaming, you know what, that I have ever seen. Pretty much every 10 seconds you are fowled and the referee doesn't even bat an eyelid. I have had no less than three players sent off in around 50 games for world class tackles, awarded straight reds for doing literally nothing wrong. On the flip side, you'll frequently find yourself in the box about to shoot, only to get fowled and to have the game laugh at your penalty cries.

    Really don't go buy this game, it's hugely dissapointing, unrewarding and frustrating to play and rammed full of bugs and inconsistent development.

    P.S: Another really horrible part to the game is the total Americanisation of everything. The typical "pin up players" behave like super heroes and have "really rad skill moves", they can just spam skill moves and seem to float through anybody ( you can just picture an american who knows largely nothing about 'soccer' going "awwww dude did you see that step over?!!!?!?!!?" ). There is unnessercary, and to be honest ghastly, music everywhere such as on the loading screen and at half time, this along with the score board and the scrolling team members at the bottom makes it feel like a baseball game, it's really uncomfortable to be greeted with. But hey, considering EA CANADA developed this disgrace to the FIFA series, there's not too many surprises there.

    Don't buy this, you'd have more fun and reward playing the lottery.

    This is not a football game anymore. The game is totally scripted. There's handicap if you're better than your opponents, every game is rigged (offline AND online).

The game is totally scripted. There's handicap if you're better than your opponents, every game is rigged (offline AND online). Basically, Fifa is turning into Mario Kart : "Everyone can win, especially if you're down 0-3 at the 85' minute". 5 minutes extra time every game, last minute goals from impossible angles, your defenders suddenly can't play football anymore. If you're winning too much, your team starts to choke, your pass % drops, your accuracy suddenly drops, and the opponent gets all the luck.

    They have turned fifa into a money machine.

    Basically, for the Ultimate Team mode, the point is to buy cards to get better players, but the more your players are good, the more handicap you get, and it gets more and more difficult to win. You will never be able to win 5 games in a row, unless you're a total prick or spend your whole life on it. The last game you need to win to be promoted will always be rigged. It's another Candy Crush-like system where you need to pay real money to advance quicker, and this needs to stop

    Another point : the whole strategy/chemistry/tactics is ruined by the fact that you can score easily by just running forward at kickoff. 90% of the online games goals are like this. Don't even try to stop their 62 overall rated attacker, he will dribble your entire defense.

    In Career mode, it's the case since fifa 2001, the weakest team in the league will always be the hardest to beat. Yes you have Messi but that Elche defender is just better, quicker and he can score from anywhere.

    EA continues to insult the players, and the fifa community is one of the worst you can find. There absolutely no pleasure to play this game, you just have to cross your fingers and hope that the script is in your favour, that's all. You'd better just play dice and see if you roll a 6, same fun.

    The only good points : the grapchis are better, and if you can't play fifa at all, then you'll have a bigger chance to win games.

    I loved FIFA 14, but this version is just horrible. Not because they didn't improve anything, but because the so-called improvements are causing gameplay issues. For example, the opponent keep scoring with ricochet balls, which is very unrealistic and annoying. Also, the game borders are cut-off because of a bug in the game.

    Sadly, this year's FIFA is horrible and I regret buying it.

    The definition of insanity is doing or buying the same **** every single time or year and expecting things to change! So, if you want to buy it for another year and feed the money-hungry mouths of EA go ahead FIFA fanboy. Go rage because you don't get good players in packs and pay even more for money for coins. FIFA has exactly the same amount of content as a patch for Cod!

    Too many dropped online matches, too many bad positions taken by AI, too many weird goals, too slow a response time, bad music, too much emphasis on player speed over true skill and passing, too much a resemblance of a 1990's arcade-style sports game than a true simulation of a soccer match. Really taking steps back in the gameplay for the sake of expanded game modes. Really poor.

Players with moderate pace can weave through defenders like Messi. Online Ultimate Team matches are invariably against people who run down the middle at your defense at full speed. God help you if your match is laggy, because your star players will suddenly lose the ball mid-dribble, and your defenders will fall over each other, which is only slightly less effective than their default AI. Many matches are laggy due to a poor matchmaking system. Even without lag, your players will miss passes from two meters away, fall down for no reason, and generally act stupid. Even when your players do what you want them to do, glitches will do the rest. Referees are still arbitrary, rewarding yellow cards for standing in the wrong place while letting play go on following slide tackles from behind on players in the box.

    Older FIFAs reached a point where they were starting to feel like actual soccer matches, but this just feels like an arcade soccer game aimed at impatient Red Bull-chugging middle schoolers. Match lobbies and unranked/non-season matches remain non-existent, and they even pulled the 11 v 11 practice arena for PS4/XBO.

    FIFA 15 could be an enjoyable game, but the same problems that have been present in the recent FIFA iterations are still there and have never been solved because EA just don't care about their customers as long as they are milking money out of it.

    Biggest problems are scripting, handicap and momentum. EA deny these exist, but they do. When the game decides you are to be penalised your players magically start moving in a sluggish manner, their reaction time gets much worse, they cannot control the ball anymore, they move slower and in the wrong directions lacking any precision. Basically this totally ruins the game as you don't win just by using your skill but it's a random process. Until EA fix this I will constantly rate this game as a 0 because it's just like cheating and I cannot understand why EA do it.

    Apart from that some of the ratings for players on Ultimate Team are just ridiculous and show how little the creators know about football. The web app is even more bugged and slow than last year. Some of the items you redeem from the EA catalogue never materialise or are broken and EA never fix this either (still waiting to get the extra trading slots I redeemed on day 1 for example).

    People will buy this game because apart from PES there is no real competition in this segment and because they love football, but year after year it's always a big let down as EA never address the main issue of the game showing they couldn't care less about their customers. No wonder they get voted year after year as the worst company when it comes to customer care.

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?
