    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).

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

Sure their might be couple of updates here and there such as "Flag Movement" and "Linesman Face Twitching", Like I say it's nothing to write home about.

    OFFLINE GAME MODES
    The game will be generally set into Offline and Online game types which I will cover due to people having different preferences.
    The manager mode is essentially the same from FIFA 14 with global scouting and that which was kinda cool but tedious at times where clubs would stick a 16mil price tag on a player you scouted who had a 3.5mil price tag. I mean I spent all that time scouting them looking at stats and I can't pay the value of the player thats ridiculous in my opinion, i wouldn't mind maybe a couple of million extra, but its seems to random.

    The My Player smh, if you wanted the game for this game mode don't bother stick to other versions you have as its the same pile of mediocrity as it has been for the past 4 or 5 years. Of course EA believe accomplishments is a complete and fun way of player the game cough* sarcasm.

    ONLINE GAME MODES

    Ultimate team seems like the only game mode ever made where someone would sell their Nan to get the latest Inform Card, You spend half your time raging and swearing in divisions like you've been sent to the Tourettes ward in a mental asylum because someone scored a 90 min winner due lackadaisical defense which you had no control over, as a voice in the back of your mind saying you was destined to lose or the term "I'm getting EA'd" is the biggest excuse especially when you're in a party with multiple people. Also like every year you only chances of getting to play with high rated players is buying open packs to hopefully get a Messi and hoping your Bank allows you do go into crippling debt as EA laugh at you getting non rares after non rares, until you get a high rated player that sells for less than a street performers guitar case. In terms of gameplay expect pace and dribbling to be major factors, leaving most of the other attributes to made redundant, so grab that sweat band because it's gonna get sweaty.

    Pro clubs is OK, okay in the fact it hasn't changed at all and it's the only game mode you can't really get annoyed at because if your record is particularly bad you can always reset the club. So expect to come across disfigured players with large Afros and odd shoes and hand wraps, while you have to deal with their incredible speed and..... speed.

    My final thoughts on FIFA 15 (PS4) are that the gameplay is getting there, and is always compared to previous FIFA's where everyone has their preference and favorite from the series. If your a fan of FIFA and have money to waste, get the game but if you can't justify paying over £45 to get a game similar to the latter, wait a while until the price drops.

    All in or all I would give a offline modes a 7/10 due to minimal amount of rage I endured for playing online games, it's good to pass the time and play with friends. Online i would give a 5/10 due to my reasons above such as rage but that's why we buy the game and it's one of the few games that makes you like that, as you want to win and do well and when a loss happens it can lead to frustration, so it might not be a bad thing but my scores staying the same.

    That's why I scored a 6 as its for the game as a whole.
    Thanks for reading My Review on FIFA 15 PS4

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

    Every year I struggle to adapt to the new fifa and this year is no different with the biggest changes in defence. The auto tackle radius of players is reduced to all most none, and u will get punished for poor tackling. You can't assign customised tactics to the bottoms anymore and u have about 30 sec to do any changes to the default one when playing FUT.

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.

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

    I've been playing and enjoying FIFA now since 2009. But ever since 12, its declined for me. They never made it better, it got worse.

I tried games 4 with Villa, and played pace abusers in every game, they were using CSKA. So online, its just not enjoyable. Career Mode finally had pre-contracts introduced, if only it were sensible though. You can basically sign ANY world class player for free, as their contracts don't get renewed. 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

    FIFA 15 is the sequel to, rather obviously, FIFA 14, and 13, and 12 etc. For this latest installment, the graphics have been vastly improved for next gen consoles. Career mode offers the most changes, but other than that it is vastly the same.

    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

    A little bit annoyed to spent 70 bucks each years for a game that is always the same. Yes the graphics and the animation are astonishing, but after that there's nothing really new. It's a reskins of old FIFA's.

    Conculsion: please stop buying these games. Are you not tired to play the same game year over year over year. It's enough to have a DLC year per year with the new teams etc...

Many a ball has gone past my goalkeeper when all he needed to do was put out his arms instead of keeping them by his side. The whole match experience feels more like you're watching a tv than playing. You have to sit there and watch highlight after highlight of the player missing a shot or shaking his head or lining up to take a penalty. With Ultimate team its a free to play model in a full priced game. Its either get the player with the best pace or get the best players in the game. Neither or which you can get without buying packs with real money. I will not be buying another fifa ever.… 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

Ultimate Team was no different from FIFA 14 until EA added price ranges to each player, effectively claiming the market back from coin traders and using it as an even bigger cash cow. The mode needs a massive overhaul, it's a tired formula now.

    The menus are nice to look at bit sloppy to operate. The gameplay is the same as FIFA 14 with a few new animations. Commentary is good but ultimately doesn't affect the way the game is played. Legendary setting is far too easy. The list of complaints is endless to be honest, quite simply FIFA hasn't evolved much at all.

    On the plus side, most teams and leagues are licensed, and the graphics are a bit sharper than those in its competitor PES 2015, though the colours are too vivid and can cause headaches. The presentation is first class and EA should be commended for their effort in this area, but ultimately gameplay is king and this is EA's worst football release in years.

    Pros and cons:

The very hyped improvements are really just cosmetic changes you'll soon get over after your 20th game. Some change I've noticed, the back passing is better. The forwards are not so averse in passing back the ball to midfield. The chipped shot is harder. It takes more time to get a shot with a nice projectile. Some things even got worse, like players falling all over the place worse than Meg Ryan in a romantic comedy. I mean they fall just standing next to the opponent. The usual issues are still there, players passing the ball where they're not intended to. Was passing the ball to player on the right, gave it to the one on the left. Sometimes, it even passes straight to the opponent. The referees still get in your way about 50 times more than it will get in the way of the CPU team.

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?

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.

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

    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.

    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

    Fifa 15 is an ill attempt at simulation-style futbol (soccer). Is it the best on the market? Yes, but that's not saying much. The lack of competition in the sports game genre (soccer, football, basketball, etc) has allowed for the bar to be set unbelievably low, which has stifled the progress you would expect to see in 2014.

The lack of competition in the sports game genre (soccer, football, basketball, etc) has allowed for the bar to be set unbelievably low, which has stifled the progress you would expect to see in 2014. 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

    Online games always start with one of the two teams having a big advantage (can be speed, control, precision on shoot and/or passing, team movements, goalkeeper and so on).

With the two latest patches the situation has worsened...

    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.

    The AI has once again been dumbed down. I can't even figure out what my team mates are trying to do, let    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.

    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

    It's because of games like this that people hate EA. There's no innovation, no Next-Gen graphics. There has been so little effort put into this game that they didn't eve bother including the original badge of many teams (let alone players pics). Oh man, they just want to resell the same game year after year.

With the more complicated defensive controls, the developers answered a question no-one asked - "Can I have more CONTROL over my defending?" Not only is the defending system awkwardly executed, it actually feels far less as if you are "in control" of what is going on than ever. This year, there doesn't seem to be such thing as a clean tackle, with too much left to the physics engine, resulting in lucky bounces, bobbles, and regained possession by the attacker. This is too easy to exploit online, not to mention it is not in keeping with the "pick up and play" aspect of a fun football game. And that in itself is where we find EA at their most joyless - the concept of a game being "fun". While trying to recreate football with clinical accuracy can be applauded, they should keep an eye on Konami, who seem intent on winning back their audience with arcade-style PES.… Expand

If you want an arcade style game of football and don't care about realism get this. For everybody else that wants as close to the real game as possible it's a big letdown. A key area of plenty of concern is defending, as in they are stupidly unresponsive and dumb. Centre backs often swap over, this happens now and then in real life, but not this often, no sense of a unit in tandem at all.They get dragged all over the place, defend too high,have the turning circle of Rio Ferdinand these days. Sometimes this all happens on purpose because of the scripting, ( where the computer basically cheats to either help create you a goal or cause one against you) Even Manchester United are defending better than this. As for the attacking play, where do i start, virtually every player in the game has been blessed with super speed, there doesn't really need to be a pass button. i played online (same offline) and i basically just took the piss out of my opponent by running right through the whole team. I had Darren Fletcher on the ball, i just started running, WITH DARREN FLETCHER!, Offline its the same, yes you do have sliders to adjust speed offline but i turned it right down to zero and it is still the same. Even turning the game to SLOW does nothing to change it. Playing against the CPU is where it becomes the most shocking, PES this year has pissed all over fifa in this aspect. In PES the CPU will try to pass the ball, and players have realistic speed. You know like real football. Fifa bypasses it totally this year, it just runs, strikers run into nowhere then suddenly turn and blast into such speed there is no point in defending. Defenders cant turn, and wont have a chance of catching ANYBODY. Doesn't matter who it is, if they are quick players or not. A patch could sort out so much, but don't hold your breath with EA.

    POSITIVES. Presentation this year has taken a step up, pitches look almost as good as the real thing. Still no realtime day into night transition but lighting has been altered at least. ALL 20 premier league stadium's are present and (largely) correct. Along with official premier league in game branding for team sheets, referees,and so on. If you are a fan of other leagues you will hope for this treatment in future version. Over 200 new player likenesses, however some don't look as good as they could be. And the promise of promoted teams faces added has yet to happen. SOME modes that were removed last year have returned, custom tournaments, tournaments for single player. Team tactics have an interesting difference this year, again how much of an impact it actually makes is the problem. Options such as the striker to drift out wide, play as a target man, the winger to cut inside, come short for the ball, or just stay up the pitch are welcome, defensively setting the full backs to always overlap, central midfielder to cut passing lanes and stay back or go forward. Hints of the kind of game that could be if everything was knitted together. But again this year it's backwards, and more than just a step.There is the basis of a great game there, but strange development decisions are undermining it.    … Expand

The ball boys, the bench view, the flag celebration, the chants, the cheers, the new camera angles, the ability for players to last longer than game in regards to their stamina, all phenomenal additions.

    There is a problem, however. Gamers buy games to (predominantly) play and then enjoy the graphics. The primary reason we enjoy a game is the gameplay. The reason I enjoy The Last of Us so much, is because the gameplay is superb, the graphics is the extra part that adds to the game. Fifa 15 lacks greatly in gameplay. It is flawed. When attacking, the opposition destroys your players and there is no offence committed. When the shoe is on the other foot, and you are defending the players run through you like you aren't even there. When contact is made with the player a penalty is given. It destroys the game, that whenever you try and play, you automatically lose.

    You either lose because you can't tackle, and the players run straight through, or you tackle the player and a penalty is given.

This **** was my last FIFA. I will not buy FIFA again.

Ultimate teams is very addictive again and the game feels improved from Fifa 14 with the graphics a highlight but on most of the points that count it is a failure. I purchase Fifa mainly to play online and at first I got smashed by more experienced players which is understandable as I learnt the game mechanics. Once I began to get a feel for the game and got a few wins under my belt. As I got to playing against more skilled players I started to notice the flaws in the game as those games are generally tight.

    The major downsides of the game are:

    AI seems to have gone further backwards, a loose ball around the opposition box will be ignored by your players who in addition never make intelligent runs. Defenders will not attack loose balls either when the opponent is counter attacking, this usually results in a easy run in for opposition attackers as your defense decides to watch the game rather than be involved.

    The gameplay is extremely slow with players looking very labored at times, the physics are shocking at time's with balls bouncing off players and some players just seem unable to control the ball without taking 4 touches.

    The goalkeepers have been improved but at time's will make amazing saves and at other time's let in ridiculous near post shots that would be saved 99% of the time in real life soccer.

    The Ref's have gone backwards as well, I have seen players be completely taken out with no foul, red cards being handed out for tackles around the box for no obvious reason and general fouls having very little consistency.

    Overall I am very disappointed with the game and will be looking at PES 2015, if it has improved gameplay then I will be switching brands and trading Fifa unless a very expansive patch is released very soon. Fifa has not done enough in terms of fixing the simple mechanics of the game to make it enjoyable. As someone who is happy to buy a new soccer game every year mostly for the online play, it has become extremely frustrating and no longer enjoyable.

    If I was rating this as a newly developed game rather than something that has been built upon for a few years now then I'd probably give it a 6 but as the game has gone backwards in every way that really counts I have decided on a 3 rating.    … Expand

    To be honest, the demo worked nicely and playing the AI felt like a bit of an upgrade.

    Now I bought the damn thing and played 2 vs 2 on PS4 and nothing works. Stats are **** up, the keepers are more stupid than ever, the AI seems more random than ever and even with all the small improvements - this is the year PES will get another shot at it.

    It seems EA is trying to piss off its customers

    Fifa use to be a great simulation game since 08 and now that's a big arcade game, even PES 2 was more realist. Even if the offline part was really good as usually, the online is a real disaster. Games look like everything except football. What a shame. But people who doesn't like football may enjoy this game.

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.    … Expand

    2/10 as online games are so painfully unfair on times its almost torture to play

    First of all the good......animations, graphics, game play, when they are all working together correctly Fifa 15 is a good game. visually the game is great and the audio is spot on.

    The bad.......it does seem like Fifa is designed for people who don't actually know how to play football, many games you will be dominating an opponent playing fantastic football coming so close to scoring only for the other team to try a through ball from the half way line that finds an attacker standing there on his own in yards of space.

    Pace is insainly overpowered so be prepared have some trouble stopping any attacker who just sprints at you with 83+ pace. On the other side you will find that your oppositions defenders will get an injection of pace on times as you can watch the oppositions 65 pace defenders catch up with hazard/robben/reus with ease.

    Everyone likes to moan about loosing in Fifa and say its 'scripted', personally i don't think its true but its hard to argue when you win division 1 with only 1 draw and 1 loss then get beat 4/5 games in a row next season by conceding goals in unavoidable ways, lucky rebounding/gk not moving/loosing 50/50 balls every time/ through balls from the half way line, basically the computer gifting your opponent goals.

    Oh and the defensive ai is a load of crap so get used to trying to position every defender continuously every time you have to defend other wise they will just stand and watch as attackers run past them.

    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.

The keepers are constantly beaten at near-post and they parry the ball out for rebounds 9 times out of ten. You may think career mode will save the game. Wrong again. Career mode is complete garbage too, everything below world-class difficulty is too easy and when it's on world-class, you watch the opposing team, no matter who it is, pass it around like FC Barcelona.

    The only positive about the game is the presentation on career mode, the BPL aesthetics are outstanding, the only reason this piece of sh*t game isn't getting a 0.

    The game is back to the one player technique of running in circles until the player has some space. There are still zero tactics, defending is very frustrating without real focus its back to the circle tapping until you get the ball. The graphics are a big improvement and it feels like they really have tried to improve gameplay, they just failed.

    Career mode is buggy, boring and unwieldy.

    The game should be more about passing patterns and trying to find runs, online this never happens and 99% of the goals scored come from one player running the ball back from the kick off.

    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]
