    I gave the 7/10 due to the excelent gameplay.
    It isn't a 10 because:
    -Where is the Brazillian League? -Why can't I play with my created player on modes like quick game? -Isn't time to join to the game leagues like the Ucranian or Greek instead of Saudi Arabian (LOL)? -What about making available teams like Dynamo Kiev, Steaua Bucuresti, APOEL, Maccabi Tal Aviv, Dinamo Zagreb, BATE

    -It was cool if you give us the age modifier in the players again. I don't give a s*** about being on rankings, I just want to play a 15 years career mode where I can have my favorite players active until the end.

    I don't quite know how to score this game. All I can say is that the 10 and 9 ratings are probably fifa fanboys and the 0 and 1 user scores could be pes aficionados...

    This is the first Fifa game I have bought in over 10 years.
    I am enjoying playing it. My knock against it is they don't include every country for tournaments. Even if they used randomly generated players for those countries roster that would at least give us the option of playing as a country that did not qualify for the last world cup.
    Based on some other reviews apparently not too much

    I played FIFA 13 @PS3 for a long long time, often in offline-career mode.
    Now I bought FIFA 15 at discount in the online store and did not play FIFA 14 in between.
    Graphics are way better, because of the "next-gen". Saying it is the same as PS3 is not true. Defending is a lot harder now, you have to wait like 10 seconds for the right moment to attack an opponent or he will easily

    Defending is a lot harder now, you have to wait like 10 seconds for the right moment to attack an opponent or he will easily spin around and go through.

    I started playing Ultimate Team for the first time ever in any FIFA game and was a bit suprised that I liked it.
    I thought it's pay to win like, but even without buying any "fifa points", it was not very hard to reach League 1.
    To my mind it's full of people how don't know how play to football. I mean when I see them trying to rush right from the kickoff through my entire defence with one **** player. So dumb.

    So far I don't get the feeling that it's scripted to much. Meanwhile I figured out, that some teams even when they had absolutely no chance in the first half. Then surprisingly play better in the second. So I think it's getting a bit harder, when you have just a 1 or 2 goals lead, but it's not unplayable. You still can win such a game.

    The Verdict
    You should buy this beautiful dream tool if you are a football fan.It's the best FIFA I have ever played and nearly perfectsports game in video game history. Thanks EA!!!
    AFTER 5 HOURS
    -Same buggy yellow card animation in which players push each other
    -Strange 45 th(first half)/50 th/90 th minute goals
    -Kick off bug where chosen team or opponent team players run like road runner
    -Master long shot takers whose shots always hit woodwork
    The Verdict
    Despite irritating bugs, FIFA 15 is more entertaining than last years. Best sports game of the year.
    AFTER 2 DAYS
    -Physics bender, psychopath, cheater AI
    -Minute 90, Omg!!! They are coming again...
    -I never touched him. How could you give a penalty decision!!! ... you bribed referee!
    -Are you a .... second division team or BARCELONA!!! Cheaters!!!
    -Laaaaaaaaag!
    -PS4 controller sticks are terrible...
    The Verdict
    Think twice before buy this horrible game. Yes, it has stunning atmosphere but suffers from poor gameplay and terrible AI. Damm you EA!!!
    AFTER 2 WEEKS
    -Yeah this slider settings are very good for me.
    -Minute 88, better to change my mentality to defensive
    -I need substitution...
    -I love this game...
    The Verdict
    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...

    first of all, the presentation is pretty good...nice atmo in the arenas, physics are great(most of the time) and the game itself play pretty smooth....for anyone who isnt a fifa nerd, this game is just awesome.

    why 7 points?

    first of all, SO MANY BUGS!
    especially if u play with a friend, if the 2nd player has to take a goalkick or free kick the camera wont change...he has to kick it blindly...sometimes the player change 4times in 2seconds (with the option set to "only airballs")...this also happens on penaltys...good luck with that!
    i once took a corner, but i was standing at the commercial banners :D
    the physics showing some sick collitions sometimes...

    like to play on a snowy pitch? better don´t, played twice on a snowy pitch at ultimate team online...twice we played with a white ball ;D

    changed the commentary to english, played a game...changed back to german...also i had to set up the controller options a few times now for the 2nd player...why?

    alot of players have the wrong stats...for example jefferson farfan, who didnt play for almost 2 years has 82 overall!! thats a lot! german talent timo werner who is 10million € worth, has 70 overall, his teammate mohammed abdelloue played one game last year and is the strongest player of his team with 76. Also, a player with overall 65 can´t be a good free kick striker?

    gameplay
    for me as a fifa nerd, it is really really frustrating and annoying...cheap tricks are still working all over the game...for example at kickoff...one long ball, nobody react but the receiver...even the goalkeeper is able to kick a 70meter pass and sometimes the attacker is able to pick it up without any trouble...defense sleeping...same with free kicks...it´s really hard to play this safe, most of the time u will not only lose the ball, you will be countered...

    graphics
    it´s not ugly...yes...but for next gen, there is a LOT MORE possible....ea is smart, updating the graphics only alittle every year so we believe they work on it, if they would spend more money on the yearly update, it could be so much better! especially for next gen!

    playing FuT with hard earn coins is more frustrating, if u spend real money you get better player, pay to win.

    as a fifa nerd, after a few games you will realise it´s the exact same game in disguise...
    i bet there is more....
    final words
    good soccer simulation with good graphics, but nothing special

    Fun? Yes. Playable? Certainly. Deeply flawed at its roots? Absolutely.

    Whilst FIFA 15 retains the core elements that makes FIFA a standout title amongst sporting franchises, it is becoming increasingly obvious that "cashing in" on the FIFA franchise is being made a priority over revolutionising. I do not take issue with the "same game, different year" argument, both sides to that are
    Fun? Yes. Playable? Certainly. Deeply flawed at its roots? Absolutely.

    Whilst FIFA 15 retains the core elements that makes FIFA a standout title amongst sporting franchises, it is becoming increasingly obvious that "cashing in" on the FIFA franchise is being made a priority over revolutionising. I do not take issue with the "same game, different year" argument, both sides to that are probably right. On one hand it is in reality, the same game, different year - yet - on the other hand, the argument that other franchises such as Call of Duty are the same every year also holds water. The core problem with FIFA however, is that EA monopolise the sporting franchises of the gaming industry. Unfortunately, unlike Call of Duty there is little risk of "moving elsewhere" to the likes of Battlefield or Halo - the single realistic alternative to FIFA is PES, and those who would threaten to move franchise or prefer PES are, in all likelihood, probably already playing the game.

    FIFA 15 certainly can't be faulted for the range of game modes it offers; career, seasons, co-op seasons, PRO Clubs alone or in parties and Ultimate Team. The latter the greatest cash cow of them all, and where the flaws are most apparent - it will also be the focus of this review as it is this mode which is the most popular of all. Certainly from the games I have played, the "over the top from kick off" or, KSI tactic to the younger audience, seems to be less apparent - I have yet to have anyone try this against me, but have been duly informed it is still possible. Instead it is replaced by the "run through the whole team from kick off" ability. Now, if the teams were significantly unbalanced, and by unbalanced I mean Ronaldo vs. 1-2 star bronze team unbalanced, then it would be borderline accepted - but this isn't the case. Case in point, a game I lost 8-7. This was bronze team vs. bronze team, and had this tactic succeeded one or twice, it could be written off as good play, but this was able to be done at least four times... by each player. Could this potentially able to write this off as bad defending? Perhaps. I will admit that defending in my ultimate team certainly isn't my strongest ability. This though, was followed by the ability to use the same tactic against a four and a half star all-rare-gold team. When a bronze league two striker, rated fifty three is able to bounce off established international squads game in, game out then this clearly becomes a flaw in the game. The problem being that at times, the ability to move defenders around and actually defend feels beyond sluggish, almost to the point players feel like they are trying to run through water. Coupled with times of comical goalkeeping and depending on whether you are on the receiving side or otherwise can feel anywhere between apologetic and infuriated.

    I can happily say that for the moment - and I say that loosely as luck will eventually turn - with the exception of my goalkeepers missing crosses and punching the opposition striker in the head resulting in a "WTF just happened!?" replay and subsequent penalty, goalkeeper blunders have been few and far between. Unfortunately for one of my opponents, his goalkeeper just stood bewildered at why he did not move - and I mean literally, did not move - and let the ball bounce off him and into the goal. Whilst the the FIFA Gods can be thanked for balancing the seriously overpowered headers of FIFA 14 - I'm looking at you Ibrahimovic - pace is still a serious issue that is killing the game, allowing the ability to turn what is clearly a mediocre player into a somewhat suspicious looking "Invincible" of the 03/04 BPL season. Again, if this was limited to the likes of Ronaldo, Bale, Messi et al, it would be somewhat accepted - but we are talking Ibarbo. A brief look at the ultimate reliable source of Wikipedia states 15 goals in 174 club games, not exactly reaching the same heights as Ronaldo's 273 goals in 260 for Madrid level - but equally as difficult to defend in Ultimate Team. Remove the element of "pace beats everything" no matter the quality of the striker or defender and the game almost becomes, dare I say it... balanced.

    The element of FIFA Points, should in all reality, be boycotted. It is a cash cow of the highest degree. Those in favour of FIFA Points and EA themselves will probably argue that nearly all games in the current era offer additional content for real money. Wrong. It is equivalent of gaming gambling. If I buy DLC maps for Call of Duty or Uncharted, I know what I'm getting - whether I will like it or not is with everything in gaming, hit or miss. If I buy additional story content of Assassin's Creed or Mass Effect, same as above. FIFA points, however, is a gamble. You spend £5.00, £10.00, even £20.00 on FIFA points. What you get for them may, and likely will, result in a complete waste of money in a very short period of time.

    Solid game, but still deeply rooted flaws.

    First of all, let me say people giving 10 out of 10 are surely on some kind of drug or something.

    The game is OK, but very similar to 2014 version. The best new features I see are: grass wears out, ball physics, crowd is more detailed. Faces are not so good (for example Suarez) So again, the game is OK, it has some improvements on the looks vs 2014, but its just that. 7 points

    In comparison to FIFA 14, it is a better balanced game overall. No overpowered headers or long shots but still way too far from perfection. Besides, sometimes so called '' Next-Gen Goalkeepers'' are acting like retards.

    Prior to FIFA 15 I had only ever played FIFA games with friends and we had always had a great time with it and in terms of the game, it's more or less the same as ever with possibly slight tweaks to game play and noticeably improved graphics.

    Prior to FIFA 15 I had only ever played FIFA games with friends and we had always had a great time with it and in terms of the game, it's more or less the same as ever with possibly slight tweaks to game play and noticeably improved graphics. Ultimate Team is a great mode that is a lot of fun and can be addictive. At least, at first.

    Having never played the Ultimate Team mode before, I was initially having a great time building my own squad and so on and I quickly won the division 10 title and moved onto division 9. Then suddenly, I hit a brick wall. I was being put up against full gold teams with 90% or higher chemistry in every single game (Keeping in mind, this is the 2nd lowest division). My three and a half star team of mixed bronze and silver never stood a chance. It turns out that players who performed well in UT in previous FIFA games are awarded with free packs and FIFA points, more or less allowing them a high quality squad from the get go. What this means is that UT is a great, competitive mode initially but it's rather inaccessible to new comers once they progress past the first division unless they're willing to grind match after match until they can afford to buy a high quality side with the coins they amass (Which, seeing as many players cost tens of thousands of coins or more. Will take a very long time.) Many will be put off by this, getting sick of suffering one demolishing defeat after another and end up giving up on the mode which is a shame.

    Besides that, most of the online features work nicely although lag can be an issue, sometimes only minor but I've also played games I would compare to power point presentations so bad was the lag.

    Overall, FIFA is a fun game to play with friends and with improved graphics and tweaked game play and online can also be quite fun but the fact ultimate team is more or less inaccessible to new players is a pretty large fault as it's probably one of the most fun modes to play when matches are somewhat even rather than massacres.

    + Looks great
    + Controls mostly work as intended
    + A lot of fun with friends

    - Ultimate Team is inaccessible to new players
    - More or less the same game we've come to expect every year
    - AI can be extremely stupid at times, which can cost goals and matches

    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.

    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.

    Its a big improvement on the absolute piece of garbage that was FIFA 14, but there's still much room for improvement. The physics (ball and player) are poor, keepers are broken and dribbling past defenders is too easy. Despite the flaws, the game's pretty balanced and the overall look of the game is great, so its a solid installment.

    Graphics and presentation is great and the new physics system for players adds alot of difference from earlier games, but its also here the flaws being to creep out. The game handles for instance colliding between team players in one way, and opposing players in another. Also, small players are quick as lightning and hard to take the ball from, so there are ALOT of short people playing as forwards in multiplayer. There is lso some really wierd AI handling when it comes to defending, with AI being passive in multiplayer matches, especially in the penalty area. Also , the referee hands out penalty shots to players blocking the goalkeepers path in corner situations which is both frustrating and wierd.

    There are issues, and im hoping the will get patched, because underneath this there is a great football game with awsome gameplay to be enjoyed.

    In game goalkeepers are either extremely good or bad with no middle ground. Defending does take a while to get used to but once you can handle it, it really improves the game mechanics. Shooting in the box and in one on ones is easy as a low powered shot to the near post will go in 9 times out of 10.
    Overall Fifa 15 is a solid if unspectacular experience.

    FIFA 15 is an improvement from its predecessor, but once you start to play the game for a number of weeks, you start to realise that the game has issues that perhaps older football game didn't have even back in the Playstation 2. For example, it is much easier to score right from the kick off, particularly with a highly-rated player.
    The game appears to becoming more of an arcade game

    The game appears to becoming more of an arcade game rather than a simulation. The graphics & multiple game modes are without doubt the best a football game has ever featured, but what happens on the pitch is where it matters, which unfortunately is where FIFA 15 shows its faults.

    First of all, I should mention, that I have played fifa on the PS3 since 2008. In the last two games (2013,2014) there was the momentum, that really broke it for me.
    Fifa 2014 was even worse. It was a mess and anyone, who is not closing his eyes from this, knows about the momentum. It was so bad in Fifa 14, that I even sold my PS3. Before I sold my PS3, I started playing Fifa 2012 again

    Fifa 2014 was even worse. It was a mess and anyone, who is not closing his eyes from this, knows about the momentum. It was so bad in Fifa 14, that I even sold my PS3. Before I sold my PS3, I started playing Fifa 2012 again because Fifa 2014 was so bad.
    Well I bought a PS4 3 weeks ago and I was really skeptical about Fifa ever since Fifa 14 and bought pes 15 instead. Well that game just isn´t my thing and after thinking a lot, I decided to buy Fifa 15. I expected the crazy momentum that was in Fifa 14 but thanks to god, it is different now.
    Yes there still is momentum. All of your players get weaker again, mistakes happen and so on but not in the slightes as bad, as it was in Fifa 14. I am so relieved. Even when the momentum kicks in (there are different momentums: In the game where your players are full power but your opponent gets a strong boost or when your team is weaker and dumber in general for like 2 or at most 3 rounds) , you still can win every match. IF you are good in the deffense. I am the best example for that. You really can´t blame everything on the momentum now even though I would be so much happier, if there wasn´t anything like it. But I expected so much worse and I am so relived now. If you are a really good Fifa player, you will be very good in this game. In Fifa 14, you could be very good and the momentum would bring your statistics down to the celler but not here.
    I will give this game a 7 because it really is mostly in your hands if you win or not. Furthermore I think, that EA aknowledged, how annoying the momentum was in Fifa 14 and tried to change it. They definetely did not take it out completely but it is not half as bad anymore. I hope EA will change it completely in the next Fifa. They are on the right way.
    Well it doesen´t get more points from me because of the still existing momentum. I think it is wrong to implement such a thing. Either you win because of your skills or you lose. There shouldn´t be a machine in the background manipulating a game. That is so wrong. I could never give this game more then 7, when there is such a mechanic.
    I don´t know about the momentum in fut and I am actually not interested in it. Maybe I will try it in some time. There was crazy momentum in fut in Fifa 14 though. I guess it is not as bad anymore too.
    Graphics are good, I like it. The animations are great. The AI could be a bit better but most of the time (when the momentum is not breaking your game. It makes your AI stupid intentionally), the AI does a good job. I have never wrote a review about a game but I thought this would be important because EA really did change the intensity of the momentum, which should be mentioned in my opinion, so we can expect a even less momentum ridden game next time. I really hope EA will change this completely. Or at least don´t go back to how it was in Fifa 13 and especially 14. Enjoy the game people, at least you can now control the game even when the momentum kicks in.

    It's not the best FIFA game ever, but It's very well done. The ultimate team this year is absolutely horrible, but the career mode is maybe the best ever. It can give you so much emotion winning the champions league to scoring a 90th minute goal to win the league title.

    Great things, it has a great narrative, and you have a great time playing the be a pro mode. Other than that it has several other modes which are all fine for the most part.

    Well, FIFA. The game is ok, I have both FIFA and PES because you never know which friend of mine is visiting me home and it is a must have just because of that. When I'm alone, I only play PES. But I do enjoy FIFA when playing with friends though.

    I have been a huge FIFA fan right from 98! I know how good EA were up until 13, but ever since they started focusing on dribbling and bringing realism to the game, they just lost it! Overpowering Ronaldo and Messi has killed the fun. Poor penalty decisions, buggy AI and GK(online) is a total joke. Career mode is not good anymore (how i miss Fifa 05 career). Fifa as a whole is not realisticI have been a huge FIFA fan right from 98!

    If you want to rage and destroy things, alienate your family and scream down the headset at your friends, buy this game. Better than last year but still not enough game modes for a next gen fifa.

    On the surface FIFA 16 seems a very competent football game, but flawed AI and lacking gameplay prevents it from ranking among the best games in the series.

    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
    On the surface FIFA 16 seems a very competent football game, but flawed AI and lacking gameplay prevents it from ranking among the best games in the series.

    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.

    7/10

    FIFA 15 is worse than FIFA 14 trying to innovate upon it

    + Career Mode
    + Barclays Premier League license
    + FIFA Ultimate Team
    + Pro Clubs
    + Better dribbling mechanics

    - Awful goalkeepers
    - Price Ranges on FUT
    - Shooting feels wrong
    - A lot of glitches and bugs compared to other entries of the series

    Довольно интересная игра! Давно уже играю в фифу, но в этой есть много минусов которые нужно доработать. Эти минусы доработали в фифе 16 и если вы настоящий фанат фифы, то советую взять 16. Ну а если вам все равно и вы хотите просто поиграть в футбол с друзьями, то это именно то что нужно!Довольно интересная игра!

    FIFA 15 for me is a copy of previous game of this series (FIFA 14). This is why i have mixed opinion about FIFA 15. But it's still the best football game, and the only product licensed by FIFA. If you are a football fan, you will not find a better game, from this year.

    Semmi különös a '12 óta, tisztességesen össze lett rakva, tovább csiszoltak a számomra kissé érdektelen ultimate team-en, ami eddig jó volt a FIFA-ban, az most is jó, de már elkél a vérfrissítés.

    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.
