    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 :-)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Cmon dudes lets talk the truth! You all whining about Call of Duty because Activision changed nothing. Why everybody hate Call of Duty now? Because they changed nothing. Lets see what EA changed uhm nothing overall, they used the same engine etc. maybe here and there EA polished something but is that enough to give a 9 or 10? Cmon kids what's wrong with you? The most important thing in videogames is the gameplay not the graphic or story etc. and here we have problems. FIFA used that horrible Momentum so you can not play the game as you think you can play it. Why nobody talk about that Momentum? I dont feel free in FIFA i have no crontoll over the gameplay in many situations. That ruins the fun so FIFA got that Momentum with that Momentum is not possible to crontoll anything you all know that so i ask you why you lie about the most important thing in videogames: the gameplay.

    Without a good gameplay is doesnt make fun and that's why i give FIFA a 5 of 10, 5 for the license, for the ulimate team. Overall nobody needs every year a similar update for $70. Dont waste your money. For ppl who love ulimate sure you will love it in FIFA15 maybe its the only thing to buy FIFA15.    … Expand

    Pace! If you are to be successful online in FUT you will need a team filled with fastest players in the game to take advantage of the games broken defensive AI.

This time however, your defenders will run into each other or just stand still while your opponent breezes by. I have won, and given away penalties for absolutely nothing tackles, that would not merit a foul in real football. I also wonder whether EA have ever been to a real football match and witness the state of the pitch as the game evolves, because I have, and I'll tell you that real life pitches don't get as cut up as they do in fifa 15. Literally every step a player makes will leave a mark on the pitch..every step!
    I am hopeful that with future patches the game may become more balanced, that pace whoring can be combated, defenders will be judged on how good of a defender they are not off their pace stat and that they tone back these living, breathing pitches.
    Until those issues are addressed it's a 6/10 from me. Not long till PES now anyway.    … Expand

    I have owned every FIFA since FIFA 09 - it's easily my most played game series - and usually I would defend it to the hilt.

    Not this year. FIFA 15 is the laziest sequel in the series so far, with most of the additions either pointless or to the detriment of the overall gameplay. In it's current state I would easily recommend FIFA 14, or even FIFA 13 on last gen which was the pinnacle of the series.

    Let's start with the new GKs. They are useless. Absolutely. I can see why EA wanted to upgrade them - they've had the same animations since FIFA 10 or so, but the mistake they've made is instead of changing/upgrading the animations they've entirely rewritten the GK coding. This would be fine if they did it well. But they haven't. The new GKs may be better at saving 1v1s but they are far FAR more prone to horrendous mistakes (due to no fault of your own) you'll wish you could have the old GKs back.

    On the subject of GKs, I should also mention that near post shots are now overpowered to the point of exploitation because the new GKs just do not cover them well enough. They often refuse to respond to the triangle prompt to bring them out (I think because the AI decides it won't get there in time - so much for control!), and they still refuse to come for crosses anywhere outside of their 2 metre vision. Useless.

    The new dribbling additions were quite unnecessary in my opinion - FIFA 14 upgraded these well and they felt right there. Now you feel like you're a half ballerina half ice-skater as you can zip round dopey defenders at will. Great for attackers but not so great in the overall balance of the game.

    A direct result of this is that defending in the game is a lot lot harder - bordering on the side of impossible when you're playing people who know what they're doing. EA have done diddley squat to the defensive controls - they're still awkward thanks to Tactical Defending and a change player button which 9 times out of 10 gives you control of the wrong player. Instead you have to grapple with the right stick to select defenders - losing you invaluable seconds as attacking after attacker ice skate into your penalty box. You also give away penalties now for the slightest of shirt tugs which is just another tick in the "defending is hard" box. Counter attacks are still kings - as was the case in FIFA 14, which is a massive shame. Games frequently end up as 7-5 or 6-4 now, which for me is no fun at all - I used to enjoy and take pleasure from clean sheets - this has pretty much been eradicated, especially in Clubs mode when you're facing 3/4/5 super-human 88-rated ice skating attackers.

    The shooting I think is one of the plus points - it's a lot more random, meaning no shot is a certain goal (apart from the near-post trickle-shot I mentioned earlier, though let's blame the GKs for that). The perchance for easy crossing and headering has also been toned down - after FIFA 14 had they way overpowered in favour of the attacker - another plus point.

    The atmosphere in the stadia have definitely been improved with chants and crowd sounds the best yet. Great - but I'd rather the team who focused on that had actually improved the gameplay issues above.

    But these three plus points do not make a good game, and FIFA 15 fails massively on the promises it made.

    I could go on, and mention that the AI is still as dire as dishwater to play against. The fact that the nerfing of the finesse shot is still in place - like FIFA 14 - meaning that more or less every goal now is just a blast rather than a Pirlo esque curler into the top corner. The fact that Online Team Play - our most played mode in FIFA 11/12/13 has been absent in 14 and now in 15 is criminal - so much for adding new features, let's remove them hey EA?!

    Overall I will continue to own and play FIFA 15 because its the version all my mates own and that we will play most of the year. But I'm not patient/stupid enough to invest in Seasons or UT this year which is a shame - and this is purely down to the game. Disappointing doesn't come close.    … Expand

It turns out this was a waste of my time, money, and a lot of energy by getting ridiculously angry at this game's numerous flaws.

    Gameplay is my biggest gripe. In Fifa 13, I loved playing career mode. I spent many hours on the 15 seasons I could to build multiple superteams out of scraps. The game was very fluid, it was not impossible to dribble and pass around defenders, and if you were good at the game, you could score 7 goals when you're at your best even on professional difficulty. With fifa 15, however, all of this is nearly impossible. I found the experience to be so throttled for every difficulty above semi-pro that I really wish that I had gotten a physical copy instead of buying the download so I could have returned the game for a full refund within a week. Fifa has been my favorite sports game for years, but this year it ends. For me at least, gone are the days when I wanted to get away from a hack and slash or FPS game. I have no choice anymore. Every sports game I used to play is out of the question due to gameplay gripes. Some that have gone on for a borderline decade even.

    On Professional difficulty and above, fifa 15 is about as unenjoyable as I've seen this game in the past 5 iterations. I don't understand how the A.I. could take such a complete nosedive, but it has. Enemy A.I. - or opposing team - is so overpowered compared to your own teammates, especially when defending. The CPU constanty tries to crowd you when dribbling, sometimes devoting 4 defenders at a time to enclose the ballhandler to the point that no decision will work. Your team, however, will never do this. It's hard enough to get 1 of my CPU teammates to work with me and try to close of a ballhandler's lane, let alone 2 or 3. Also, one of the few gripes I had about fifa 13 is still present. WHY DO MY FULL BACKS ALWAYS LEAVE THE RIGHT AND LEFT COMPLETELY UNMANNED?! I am so sick and tired of players running down the wings completely free while I have to press L1 multiple times to get to the right defender before I waste a ton of his energy trying to get him back into position.

    A second defensive flaw is how ridiculously difficult it has become to regain possession, let alone tap the ball away from the opposing team's players. In Fifa 13, you could hold L2 or LT and your player would automatically stick his foot out when the ball got close enough. This feature is no longer available in 15, and even pressing circle to force defenders to tackle rarely works, regardless of if it is Sergio Ramos or Lionel Messi you are controlling. On top of this, the CPU's automatic strategy is to run directly to the sidelines literally every time they get the ball and run along the outer bounds. This strategy wastes insane amounts of energy from your defenders while you try to catch up with them, just to watch them stop and turn multiple times while you flail and miss wildly trying to get the ball or at least get in front of them.

    My last bit on the gameplay flaws in this game will be on the GKs. It has been much talked about that fifa 15 was putting a lot of effort into making keepers more "realistic." The problem with this is that if you are playing a video game, nobody wants every game to be 1-0 or 2-1. Goalies will literally save everything. It is difficult to get a shot past goalies in the mid 70s, and it is nearly impossible to penetrate the best in the world. The only goals that ever work are the ones when you are literally within a few feet of the goalie, and this is a double-edged problem, because just as well as it is easy to get a close shot past the goalie when on offense, your goalie will be just as inept in this situation. I haven't seen a goalie save a close shot like this in over 60 matches that I have played. Apparently, "realistic" means that up close the goalies have no chance and from7 feet out and beyond it is impossible to score.

    The only positive things I can say about this game are that the player animations are more realistic than I have ever seem - sometimes to a maddening fault, as it takes some players ages to turn and regain momentum in the direction you want them to go. And also the implication of every Barclays league stadium, making the Barclays experience more realistic than ever. The graphics are top notch, and ultimate team is very addicting in my first go around with it. I am also very impressed with the transfer market feature, which works great and is a very quick and easy way to get players, staff or consumables you need.

    It saddens me that I can no longer rely on Fifa to be my favorite and most addicting video game experience. Here's hoping in the coming years they at least fix some of the many new problems that have arisen in fifa 15.    … Expand

    I played a lot of football games in the past, I bought FIFA 11, 13 and 14 but also PES 14, I also played all the FIFA games since 1998 and 3 other versions of PES before. I will try to be as realistic as I can.

I will try to be as realistic as I can. I played the game 2 long nights - 8 hours each (one night in 3 players - we created a tournament and second night Ultimate in 2 players and I played as a guest) and I looked a little bit at the others modes and new things also.

    Positive things:

    - The footprints is a nice feature to have and also the animations from dead moments are nice. For those who didn't play FIFA 14 on PS4 the game will look like a huge improvement in terms of graphics- but most of it is due to the new console. Those who played FIFA 14 on PS4 will probably see very slight differences.
    - With the help of the new console you see much more animations in terms of the way body players move after a shot, tackle etc. it looks very nice. Also, the fact that the goal moves up and down at hard shots created a very nice feeling – 5 star feature for me
    - Another improvement is in terms of game play - Inertia is now finally real and ball physics is much better - it feels like PES 14 from this point of view and this is great. It is now difficult to stop and turn back to receive a too short pass or simply turn at very high speed. It looks and feels very realistic
    - The running down the wing, crossing and scoring headers from any position and with any player is gone so this is more tuned down and it is more realistically represented now, you can still score headers , but it seems to matter more the attributes of the players. This is for me a big improvement from FIFA 14
    - In Ultimate they took steps to stop people who used soft like the auto bidders so if you scroll too many pages it asks you to put a number there to confirm you are not a robot
    Negative things:
    - The first one and the most annoying is the “random” that still exist in the game. I call it “random” as I try to avoid the word which starts with “s..” and finishes with “…ing” –every FIFA player who played more than 100 games know what I mean. In 2 nights of playing Ultimate and against friends I felt that in around 20% of the games I didn’t have full control of what was happening on the field and that the result was not conform with the match. The weirdest match was one we lost in Ultimate with 2-1. The opponent had a Bundesliga gold team with a Bronze CDM of 62 called Net… something. We had a Serie A gold team. He scored the first goal from a free kick around 30-35 meters from a little wide and the shot went pretty central – the player who scored was the bronze CDM and we had Buffon in goal. I looked on “Futhead” for that player after – it had 45 free kick and maximum 50 in any other shooting attribute. The second goal the opponent scored was in the famous 90 minute. So goals in 45 and 90 minute still happen, although I have to admit that is less than previous versions. But it is still much more often than it should be.
    - Another negative thing regarding the game play is that the age of PACE is back, so what they managed to fix from FIFA 13 to FIFA 14 they ruined in FIFA 15. It is impossible to play at very competitive level with slow players - defensively most of all is horror. In FIFA 14 they managed to balance somehow the attributes, now pace is again very overpowered
    - Some useful things disappeared from the game and it is disappointing as a game should be extended, nut cut – the fact you can’t practice anymore like 10 vs 5, 5 vs 1 etc is … how can I say it – unthinkable
    - Another thing which was cut and it is also very bad is the connection signal in ultimate, so you can’t see before the match if you have a good or bad connection with the opponent - this was there for so many years that everybody expects it . It is a common sense. Why should you struggle 12 minutes watching frames when you can easily avoid that. It is a feeling that EA doesn’t know what to improve anymore so they take features out from the game so they can put them back in next years and present them as improvements. Disappointing, VERY disappointing
    As a general thing I consider EA made some steps forward and some more steps backward. There are the same old problems which are still not addressed like the “random” . There is a common feeling between FIFA players I spoke with, that this will never be fixed as there are some reasons to be kept in. There are things which were in FIFA 14 and are not anymore in FIFA 15 and also FIFA 14 was more balanced game in terms of players attributes, so FIFA 14 was a better game even with the overpowered crossing. Even though I will not be able to play online with some of my friends, I decided I will not buy FIFA 15 as the game is generally worse than FIFA 14. With regret, I want to tell EA that for me November is coming. And in the next years there might be a November coming for a lot of the others.    … Expand

In any event, here's my pros and cons list for Fifa 15 (ranked according to most pleasing v most frustrating):

    PROS (ranked according to most pleasing)
    - Decent to Good (Not Great) Graphics: Self-explanatory
    - Game Modes: A healthy selection of game modes.
    - Field Degradation: Self-explanatory

    CONS (ranked according to most frustrating)
    - All Out Blitz Mode: I call it this because I cannot describe any better what happens at the end of games when I'm tied or ahead when playing a team on World Class. Literally, from a mediocre team (Racing Santander) to an elite team (Barcelona FC), I am overwhelmed at the end of every game on World Class difficulty (The same crap happens in Madden as well). I could have been dominating the game for the first 80min and, all of a sudden, the CPU Team kicks it into maximum overdrive with immense pressure on all fronts, super-reactive players, increased speed bursts, superior strength and tackling abilities, etc. I literally cannot hold onto the ball to save my life, while my defenders become brain dead and unresponsive. I cannot count how many games where I've been leading (sometimes by more than a goal) into the final 10min only to see the game end in a tie or, even worse, a loss! EA must be colluding with Sony and Microsoft on ways to drive incremental revenue through additional accessories sales by having this mess happen... I've learned to not throw my controller anymore because of the likelihood of them breaking and the expensive price point of controllers, but what I described gets me close to breaking this habit.

    - Unresponsive User AI: I have watched time and time again my CPU controlled players (User AI) stare at the CPU Team players as they make moves on or off the ball. Literally, I want to break my controller when I see the CPU Team players beat my CPU controlled players out for balls they clearly should have no chance at. On goal kicks, loose balls, etc. my players literally watch as the CPU Team's players run in front of them to get the ball... Then my players react. This also happens when I'm passing to a CPU controlled player on my team and the CPU Team's player runs in front of him to steal the ball... My players never come back to the ball - NEVER! It's like in order to make the game competitive or just work, the developers decided to limit User player's responsiveness... Very, Very, Very FRUSTRATING!!!

    - Player Speed: This has been a CONSISTENT issue for me. Why hasn't this been fixed? Assuming the developers play the game, when they're playing the game this doesn't bother them? This to me is a BIG ISSUE!!! There's really no variance between player's speed. I can have a 90 SPD player and be caught from BEHIND by a player with 75 SPD.... COME ON, SON!!! Really???

    Overall, would I recommend FIFA 15? No! Spend your money elsewhere!    … Expand

In one season I managed to get Busquets, Neymar, Cavani, Oscar, Hummels and Reus - all for free. That was 3 seasons into a Manager Mode. Even Messi was going but he wouldn't move. The game play lacks skill, you can get in behind a Chelsea defense at will, even on legendary difficulty. EA can buy as many licences they want, FIFA 15 is poor. I can't sit and actually enjoy playing it at all, its trade-in fodder for GTAV.… Expand

    Every year they make the game play worse while just improving the graphics. I guess it's the EA business model these days or something? Gone are the days when real gamers made games, you know ones that are actually made with pride instead of just rehashing some pathetic cash cow.

I guess it's the EA business model these days or something?

    The AI has once again been dumbed down. I can't even figure out what my team mates are trying to do, let alone if I play against the computer. Sometimes a group of 3 AI players will sit in one corner of the pitch and pass it among themselves for minutes on end, before one of them looses the ball into touch for apparently no other reason than idiocy. EA seems to think that professional footballers must be really stupid then with no skill or talent, judging by the outrageous number of errors all the players make. Can anyone get the ball on target? That's if the computer can even work the ball up field into attack, which is rare. I used to be able to get a good match in on Legendary, now even that is totally unrealistic.

    I guess this year they put effort into improving goalkeepers? All this has done has made it damn near impossible to score goals, not that it was easy before, but don't even think you're gonna score a top corner screamer this time around. Headers too are extremely difficult.

    I mainly play pro career mode, which I thought was quite good back in the days of '10, '11' and 12. Now even that has been ruined of any fun factor with the terrible AI and questionable tactics the computer seems to employ. Matches have no realism, my team may get 14 shots on target and only score 1 goal, while the computer gets 2 shots and scores on one of them. This happens constantly. The player rating during the games are a joke too. Apparently EA doesn't seem to think that a player can have a good match if he doesn't score or get an assist. Not to mention if you're tired by the end of a match or wanna sub yourself off. That's almost career suicide.

    So where does it end? I'll tell you where. I mainly play pro career mode so I can play for my country in big tournaments like the Euro Championships or the World Cup. So I played 2 damn seasons, made the England team, got called up to the Euro's only to find out that the game has a glitch and won't let you play in them. I haven't played the game since.

    Really EA? Really???? I've been playing FIFA since '04. Games are supposed to get better with time. EA gets worse.    … Expand

    Ulitmate Team has remained the same from FIFA 14, and offers no new features. Instead, it removed some of the most important features. The removal of trade offers means 'Pink Slip's are now impossible, and coin sellers are not banned, something which was widely used in FIFA 14.
    Career mode still uses the global transfer network from FIFA 14. It also has a new transfer search system, and is now similar to the ultimate team search function. Players now grow and decrease in rating better. Young players gain ratings faster, while older players decrease and retire slower.
    On previous gen consoles, there is no seasons anymore. This is not a problem for next gen gamers, but is a huge disappointment for people who are unable to get a PS4 or XBOX ONE.
    Other than this, there are no real changes, but the game is still enjoyable. Several freezing issues have been fixed, but I still have some problems with the game randomly crashing, and ultimate team not working, but is still the same game in truth.    … Expand

    The main focus this year has been put into the presentation of the game, and it shows. Stadiums feel alive, player animations looks more fluid and the commentators, while not perfect, still manages to do a decent job of describing the action taking place on the field. Furthermore, the amount of teams and leagues available still remains one of FIFAs biggest strengths.

    Online-play, for the most part, works well and without big quirks. Ultimate Team has never been a big draw for me, yet I've played it a bit and from what I've experienced it works ok as well.

    Game-play though is where it starts to go a bit more downhill for FIFA. Focus here has been on the offensive part of the game, and it has never been easier to glide and dribble past opponents. Conversely, defending has become more of a chore. As a defender you feel quite underpowered when an attacker is running at you. It doesn't help that the defending AI is quite underwhelming, to say the least. The full-back position has to my memory always been a troublesome position in FIFA, and it hasn't changed this year. When defending, the full-backs tends to drop back too much and are poor at covering offensive runs from the opponents. This goes for many of the other defenders as well, though not quite as pronounced. Central backs tend to do the job ok, though they could marks their opponents a bit tighter. The midfielders have a tendency to drop back in line with the defenders, leaving quite a bit of space just outside the goal area. This remains true even when asked to push up as much as possible. Players still have trouble registering and dealing with loose balls, resulting in somewhat slow reaction times if the ball is not heading directly at the player. All in all it results in quite a lot frustrating moments when defending.
    Offensively it's a bit more positive. Offensive runs are more clever than in earlier games in series, though your attackers still has issues with placements inside the area and at crosses. Heading is no longer as overpowered as in FIFA 14, resulting in a more tactical approach balanced game.

    The referees still make the odd call once in a while, and tends to give the freekick more often than not. Thankfully it is not something that ruins the gameplay experience.

    The tactics hasn't changed too much from previous renditions. You still have the option to choose from an array of different formations and give individual orders and roles. Though, an option I'm missing, is the ability to set different tactics for different parts of the game - i.e when defending and when attacking - similar to PES's "fluid formations".

    Rounding it all up, FIFA 15 is a decent footballing game, but lacking gameplay and poor AI results in a game that oftentimes is more frustrating than fun.    … Expand

    I have owned every Fifa game out there since Fifa International Soccer back in the 90's. It's been a long and, for the most part, great journey.

    As every new iteration of Fifa, it has been talked up by EA of beeing perfect like nothing else. However this time around EA have not been pitching out catchy phrases to lure the fans in, which I find both disappointing and surprising. So    I have owned every Fifa game out there since Fifa International Soccer back in the 90's. It's been a long and, for the most part, great journey.

    As every new iteration of Fifa, it has been talked up by EA of beeing perfect like nothing else. However this time around EA have not been pitching out catchy phrases to lure the fans in, which I find both disappointing and surprising.

    So what's new then you say? Well, EA have redesigned the goal keepers for the next gen consoles, calling them Next Gen Goalies. Nice! The overall AI is also supposed to be something out of this world according to EA themselves. At the end of the day though, there are not that much new and innovating in the game compared to Fifa 14.
    Maybe the biggest change, and a good one, is the full licence of Barclays Premier League which have given us all the official Stadiums of PL and a big increase in scanned players. The presentation of the PL matches does look and sound good with custom chants depending on the home pitch.

    Moving on to gameplay it does feel different, first touches have been somewhat improved. Players in general have better ball control. They said we would be able to play with Messi, like Messi, dribbling with speed having the ball close to his feet like he does at Barcelona. And yes, we can do that, fantastic, BUT, and this is a big but (not butt...), every player in the game can pull this off, be it Messi or Jonny Evans.

    Looking back at the new improved goalies again. The thought is noble and all that, the goalies needed improvement. Sadly though, the new mechanics are worse than ever. High, dipping longshots go in more often than not due to their positioning or they react first when the ball crosses the line. On the other hand the goalis saves all well placed driven shots across the goal. If you hammer it in by the first post however, it's a sure goal.
    So in my opinion, EAs biggest selling point is a swing and a miss. Hopefully they will be able to patch it soon, otherwise i'll be looking at PES 15 in November.

    There are many bugs in Fifa 15, some new but mostly old ones that have not been resolved over the past few versions of Fifa. I'm gonna try to sum Fifa 15 up in pros and cons from here.

    Pros
    - Match presentation, especially BPL matches
    - Crossing and heading seems to have been toned down, maybe a little to much though
    - Over the top thruballs also seem less accurate
    - Overall defending, auto tackling toned way down

    Cons
    - Goalies are either poor (1st post and long lobs) or gods (driven shots across the box). Positioning is terrible
    - Referees are worse than ever. So many weird decisions.
    - Defencive AI, the defenders still open up the pitch for attackers to run through.
    - Pace seems to be back, if you hava a fast attacker it is fairly easy to sprint right thru on goal from kickoff
    - Physics, players collidng and falling over all over the place
    - Offline against AI is terrible. The AI very rarely shoots, trying to pass all the way over the line. Or going wide down the wings, only crossing when at the corner flag, never early crosses
    - AI defence, apply some pressure on a defender with the ball and he will most likely boot it high in the stands for a throw in for you
    - Player models, every player looks like they are on steroids. Silvas broad shoulders would make Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson jealous
    - Ridden with bugs EA have fixed close to nothing from Fifa 14. My favourite would be if you've made 3 subs and then you get an injury, the game does not let you finish the match before you've subbed him, doh...
    - No practice mode, just 1 vs 1 arena
    - No online lobbys
    - The game speed in online seasons is too fast.
    - Midfield play is still next to none, you can still get from your box to the oponents with 2-3 passes
    - Ping-Pong-Passing is back on assisted
    - Emotional Intelligence, players react to eachother triggering animations which takes said player out of the game for some time. Nothing to do with emotions, just scripts beeing triggered
    - Goalkeepers still cannot get a red card in onlne matches

    Fifa 14 on PS4 wasn't the best, but I was giving EA the benefit of a doubt they were actually working on making Fifa 15 the real deal. I was wrong!
    In hindsight Fifa 14 doesn't look all that bad anymore. Fifa 15 is not a football simulation, it's an arcade football game. Someone compared it to the old classic Kick-Off, which in my opinion simulates football just as well, if not better than this years Fifa.
    Either EA fix it with patches or I will not be playing it much if at all. Hopefully PES 2015 will be good in November, beeing a football fan I need my fix of virtual football. Next year EA gets no pre order from me, they have to show me they've done their homework before they get my money...

    If you have not yet bought Fifa 15, wait a while to see if EA patches it, if not save your money.    … Expand

    First up, Fifa 15 is a solid game and one that I would recommend to anyone looking for a sports game they can jump right into and hasn't played the series recently. For those people, I give the game a solid 7 out of 10.

    For the veterans out there... well even... for anyone that has played Fifa 14, I give it a solid 5 out of 10. **Do not pay full price for this game.** I regretted it not 30 minutes after playing it as I realized I had paid $60 for what should have been DLC. Sure there are a lot 14 players saying great things about it, but I can guarantee you that many of the reviews were written either before they played the game or before they put a day of play into it. I just can't imagine how any 14 player could accept 15 as a good buy. It is, without exaggerating, 14 but with **slight** graphical additions.

    But EA added the Emotional Intelligence, the biggest marketed feature of 15!! ... EI does not affect game play whatsoever, and only amounts to cut scenes during breaks in play. It is cool to watch a few times. After you've played max 10 games, and I'm being really generous here, you will never watch them again. To put it another way, how often do you watch the intro's to the games? It was cool at the beginning, but in the end you just want to play the game and skip it. Same thing.

    So if the biggest feature of 15 is something you will skip after the first few games, how about the next one? Next Gen Goalkeepers were marketed pretty heavily. What's the end result? Shockingly bad goalkeepers, as well as shockingly good goalkeepers. About 1/4 of the time, the goalkeepers are terrible. They dive the wrong way, make saves that actually increase the chance of a goal, let balls go right through them, or just bug out and don't do anything. 1/4 of the time, the goalkeepers are insane good. You smash a ball to the top corner and they superman across the next to get it. You smash a ball low on the ground and their arm glitches like lightning to make a save. Unrealistic reflexes and saves. The other half of the time, the goalkeepers are actually pretty good, making saves that you I admit were pretty damn nice to see. Overall? It seems like it's one step forward, but also one step back at the same time.

    So what else is there if the two biggest features weren't actually that good? Well I can't say anything good about Manager Mode, because it is EXACTLY the same as in 14. No joke. FUT? nearly identical. Other game modes? The same.... so what's left? They now leave foot prints in the grass. Is that worth $60? How about a more lively stadium atmosphere? It's cool, but is that a game seller? Then perhaps the improved game play. It is improved marginally at best, and actually has transitioned into an even higher paced counter attacking game (with the **exact same scripting/handicapping** as seen in 14).

    So in the end, I can't speak too positively about the new additions to 15. The big things that were supposed to sell it just weren't executed well.. or even really mattered. The things that should've improved either didn't improve at all, or saw marginal changes. I've been a long time Fifa player, and have had great memories with the series. Unfortunately, these memories are getting older with less and less new ones being made as the series goes on. I've found it hard to enjoy 15, and really just get more frustrated and angry the more I play it. EA obviously has priorities out of sync with their continuing customer base, and this is something I won't support anymore.    … Expand

    From the stand point of FIFA modes and functions, it's the same as last years which is excellent. Seasons, Ultimate Team, Be A Pro etc, from the point of view of graphics and physics...yes it is an improvement, the issues start at the most important bit...the gameplay.

    Anyone who is a fan of football will understand you can have tactical choices to play, you can play offensively, defensively, wide, compact, you can switch play when needed etc. FIFA gives you the functionality to try and make your own, but only one works - get a pacey team, stick on high pressure - just play like that because this way is the only way of having a chance to win (basically auto defend). It is to put short, highly imbalanced towards speed and to make matters worse they have also ramped up the gameplay speed online in both Seasons and Ultimate Team which aids only to frustrate even further.

    I do not actually understand how this game gets the merits, it deserves a mediocre score at best because the gameplay on the pitch is so very linear and repetitive that I might as well be solving the same Sudoku puzzle over and over again, it would be about as bland and fun. As to make things clear here, it's football, it's always going to be repetitive from that point of view however I mean how it all feels and how you're supposed to play, you don't have freedom to actually be tactical.

    My verdict of 5 is more than fair, if you're reading this review and haven't yet decided to buy it I'd recommend holding off to see how PES 2015 is or try the demo. It's long been the status quo that FIFA is better by most people but it at least gives the freedom to change tactics making it much more fun and rewarding, the graphics are better, as are the physics. If it wasn't for EAs monopoly on the FIFA license rights then Konami would have put FIFA 15 to bed this year, no doubt.    … Expand

    If you played FIFA 15 Demo and then you decided to buy it, forget about it. The problem is not the game itself, its marketing strategy. I think camera wobble effect, emotions and related animations and other little details are designed for demo as a part of EA's marketing strategy. AI's momentum or handicap (scripted AI) features could be good balancing elements for FUT or PRO CLUBS. But these are not enough to improve career mod experience and satisfy old school fans. I understand FUT policy of EA but they need old school fans too who have loyality to their product for years. If you are an old school player, set your sliders, begin your career or arrange your own champions league and enjoy your home supporters' powerful cheering...

    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?

    Is it overflowing with newness for anyone that’s already gorged the past year’s soccer bounty? Nope. But it’s still the very best soccer game in town.

    Some changes aren't for the better: strength and pace are kings this year. [Dec 2014, p.80]
