    worst fifa yet. visuals are good but the gameplay is monstrous. you feel as if you have no control, feels more like an arcade game than a professional one.

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

    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 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

One user shot authenticity in the foot by saying how much he enjoyed what they've done with career mode this year. Really? They've done zilch buddy, except a reskin...stop lying for EA.

    In short there is no way this game should get more than 5/10, because a footy sim it isn't! The scripts determine who is going to win, which is basically the underdog, so expect to whip Barcelona 3-0 every frigging time but struggle against Yeovil town because in EAs infinite wisdom, it's good to manufacture a challenge by boosting poor teams stats while dumbing down your teams AI, so you can't defend. Defending is awful anyway, there's just no way to overcome the AIs psychic or zero reflex time ability to turn on a dime and dribble past you. I've tried contain, high pressure and second player contain but it counts for naught because the controls stop responding to your input when the scripting kicks in (ie when the algorithms want the CPU to score). And I really mean stop responding, not just delayed. Corners conceded around the 45 or 90 minute mark, well, don't expect your 7 foot power heading CB to do anything except move out of the way to allow the 5 foot striker to head into the corner. And the goalies? My goodness, they range from being superhuman to assisting bystanders, actually moving out of the way of the ball if the AI wants a goal!

    In short this game is a mess, lots of mini scripts within a 90 minute game leave you either feeling robbed or the game gave it to you. No point building up an 80+ rated team in career mode because stats are irrelevant thanks to all the scripting going on. There's also no need for a midfield as the most effective way to score sadly is the hoof to a fast player method. So pack your defence with 6 players and buy 4 fast strikers, and as for the keeper, well it don't matter. Regardless of who you buy, there's no discernible difference in ability between a 50 rated melon and a 85 rated super star. The same types of shots will be goals or not irrespective of Keeper ability.    … Expand

    Since Ultimate Team is the most well-known and most advertised game mode for FIFA 15, you think it would be good right? WRONG!

Before you kick-off on Ultimate Team, or any online game mode on FIFA 15 for that matter, the game has already decided who has won. There is pretty much no realism in the game either, 60 mile per hour shots will be easily saved but 2 mile per hour shots will easily go in. 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.

    To summarise, the game is completely awful and it decides when you'll win or lose. It will most likely be a horrific experience. Save yourself some cash and don't buy this disgusting mockery of a game.    … Expand

This will cause you nothing but headaches and lead you to waste your money. Stick with an older FIFA game or go with PES unless you like wasting your money    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    It should be fun but it isn't. Ive been with fifa since my mega drive but I think this might be the last one. Im not sure how they manage to make a less and less playable game. One plus point is that contracts are more affordable now and teams no longer need bronze players in to keep going.    … Expand

    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.

    Think twice before buy this horrible game. Yes, it has stunning atmosphere but suffers from poor gameplay and terrible AI. Damm you EA!!!

    -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...

    A EA não toma vergonha, não corrige o sistema de troca de jogadores e o sistema de passe. Várias vezes quando você tenta trocar para que o defensor que esteja mais perto da bola de o combate a seta vai par outro e você acaba ficando totalmente perdido no lance. Muitas vezes você aponta o passe para tal jogador e o passe sai para um jogador nada a ver, desperdiçando uma oportunidade. Esse erro existe desde o Fifa mil novecentos e bolinha, será possível que é até agora a EA não conseguiu resolver? E as trombadas, meu deus, eh normal na vida real que dois jogadores do mesmo time tentem ir na bola e acabem tropeçando. Quando vemos isso em jogos reais?

    Geralmente, os jogadores reais são espertos o suficiente para desviarem um dos outros. Pra que tanta trombada?! isso é simulação?

The game just feels better and is less frustrating because of it. The crowd is more involved which ads to the atmosphere. The more I play the more I notice the reactions to the play on the field. Emotion of the players is a nice touch although I don't notice it as much as I would like. As a natural instinct I tend to skip through the cut scenes so this could be why. All the extra touches like the pitch wear and grass stains on players kits is a awesome addition. I love playing in the rain now with the extra mud and slop. Water spraying off the ball as its kicked and each step causes a splash. All the attention to detail and added responsiveness to the players makes it much more enjoyable play than Fifa 14. The second big reason to get 15 if you already have 14 is that tournament mode is back. I really missed this mode on Next gen fifa 14 and I am really glad it's back. I love making fantasy tournaments and leagues with my favorite teams around the world. This is one of my favorite game modes to play maybe even edging out career mode as my top. I realize some players have a problem with FUT with the micro-transactions and they feel it's pay to win. My solution to this is if you know you are getting Fifa and know you will be playing FUT then pre order the game. Playing last year I never had to buy 1 pack with real money with the weekly pack I got and the coins I earned from playing. For your favorite players get a 99 game contract with the catalog. Although FUT is not the reason I buy FIfa I do enjoy playing it a bit and really never had to dump extra money into it. The only issue I got with the game so far is something gamers have been Whining about on the Fifa forum. It looks like anti- aliasing is turned off which results in jagged edges. Although I feel it is nowhere near game breaking it can be a bit distracting and is disappointing with all the extra attention to detail they put in. Overall I'm really happy with Fifa 15 and feel it is a good improvement over last year. Not a huge step forward but definitely heading in the right direction even with a case of the jaggies!… Expand

    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....

    Online modes are as fun as ever wth Ultimate Team once again a addictive and enjoyable experience with hardly any server problems for me when playing online and the offline single player seasons still very addictive.

    The depth of leagues/teams is second to none on a console football game and I think the difficulty curves are fair. The keepers have improved and the new keeper animations are nice and the crowds/sound are good and the game boasts a great soundtrack.

    There are a few negatives though referees in this game tend to be biased towards the AI which really grates at times the number of fouls that get called against you compared to the AI really rack up. The passing and control can be a bit hit and miss as the AI nearly always has a perfect first touch compared to you when the ball will simply rebound off you or a short simple pass can go straight to the opposing team.

    Overall Fifa 15 is a really good football game and an improvement on 14 and if you want a game with a deep pool of licensed teams/players and competitions then this is the football game for you.    … Expand

However, if you love football but enjoy high scoring games like in FIFA 10 or American Football, then forget about buying it.

    To get one thing out of the way quickly, there's no way, at all, by any standard, this game should score less than a 5 from anyone. I can sort of understand a 5 or 6 as perhaps people are a bit blunted by the iterative nature of FIFA and the lack of substantial improvement to modes like Career and FUT, so the standards you expect on a yearly iterative game may differ substantially to mine.To get one thing out of the way quickly, there's no way, at all, by any standard, this game should score less than a 5 from anyone. I can sort of understand a 5 or 6 as perhaps people are a bit blunted by the iterative nature of FIFA and the lack of substantial improvement to modes like Career and FUT, so the standards you expect on a yearly iterative game may differ substantially to mine.

    But the core game itself is fine (odd random bug aside) with improved AI movement, greatly improved goalkeepers, a smarter aerial system where headers aren't the equivalent of a cheat mode and, last and least importantly, the graphics.

    The scripting arguments are, as per usual, stupid, but it's going to happen when a shot hits the post late on or you concede a scrappy goal, because nerd raging at the game itself is easier than looking at where you got it wrong. It's common in the Football Manager community too, it's the nature of the beast with sports gamers.

    As noted, bugs exist. I've played the PC and PS4 versions (the PC version, barring FUT, is probably the superior version surprisingly), and frame rate issues are real at times and ruin immersion in the game.

    But there's nothing inherently wrong with this title. Metacritic, for all its' plus points, will never reflect with a user score the games quality, so my advice is to ignore what everyone here says (including me) and play the free demo. You'll know inside 5 minutes whether you rate it or not.    … Expand

    This is an excellent addition to the series. The game moves a bit quicker than 14, but I think that is good for the players. I love how data transfers over from last year's title.

It was actually very good, and a lot better than Fifa 13.

    I have a "theory" that explains those negative reviews: People don't like change. Every year it's the same, EA changes the game's mechanisms and we need to adapt and change our tactics and our way of approaching the game. Many gamers try it, see that they now suck balls, and go vomit their frustration by giving over-negative reviews of the game. But then, they get used to it over time, and start to feel comfortable again with the new gameplay. That is, until the next Fifa comes out, where they have to do it all over again.

    Now the goal is not to sprint towards goal and shoot a cannonball through the GK anymore. Now you need to pass the ball a lot, be quick and anticipates the opposition's movements. I find the game much more realistic, and all the goals I've scored so fare ar closer to how it really is in real football than they were in Fifa 14. I still suck mostly, but I'm sure that those changes will be benefic to the game.

    To put this review in context, I haven't played a FIFA game since 2012.. For me the difference between 2015 and 2012 is huge, as you would expect, in terms of gameplay and presentation.

For me the difference between 2015 and 2012 is huge, as you would expect, in terms of gameplay and presentation.

    One of my favourite aspects of the game is the match presentation, much like watching Sky Sports on a Saturday.. of course the commentary is as terrible as in real life, it wouldn't be FIFA without the often repeated phrases! But they've added some dialogue around past games/tournaments etc to mix it up. I love watching highlight reels at the end of games, and the focus on player reaction/emotion.

    In terms if gameplay, for me there is much improvement, although I can't comment on the difference between FIFA 14. Player movement is better, ball physics too. There's more deflections, tackling is more realistic and defending is just better. Players use the correct foot (i.e. left footers use left foot), incredible i know! Shooting is good, more variety in finishing and ball spin, however heading seems a bit op. Goalkeepers are much more realistic. Little things like quick throws are also an improvement. Changes to tactics during the game really make a difference.. go all out attack and you'll find defenders end up in the box etc.

    One thing that annoys me about the gameplay is the difference in AI between pro and world class, I easily win on pro, but on world class the opposition are like Barcelona every time! It feels like they are gimping your own team to play worse.. maybe its just me being crap though.

    Graphically the game is odd to say the least.. there are glitches a plenty. Some players look excellent, others not so, and quite often there are jaggies. For a game that is developed so often, and there isn't much to work on graphically, you'd think crowds would be a little more realistic. Also players walk very strangely, like they've got piles or something.

    In terms of replayability, I have to say i'm pretty addicted. I play career mode mainly, but have dabbled in Ultimate Team, and then there's obviously multiplayer.

    The soundtrack is great as usual.

    Overall this is a very good game, not perfect but a great improvement for someone who doesn't buy every iteration.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

In this years version, EA has to continued to improve from the previous FIFA game on next gen. Its what you expected from a FIFA with the same basic mechanics as in the previous years. However, they have made some significant improvements in this years version. For starters, they have completely re-made goal keepers from scratch to make them more realistic and better in-game. BUT, this has led to them being so in-consistent, with them at one point being impossible to score past, to them letting in the most ridicules goals. Another noticeable change is the defending, with you no longer able to jockey a player, making defending more challenging for the player. This game is beautiful displayed, with great visuals, and with the EPL License it helps make the game fill more alive and real. However, this game has its faults, such as the EA SERVICES that has never changed, noticed pop ins and lagging (mostly online). I love the new crowd animations, making a home game feel like a true home game with the supporters playing a key 12th man. Also, if you score an important goal, such as a 90th min winner, almost the whole team will run to you as you celebrate the goal. The gameplay is a more fast and fluid football experience, and benefits the smaller and agile players. There are still your usual features such as career mode (manager and player), tournaments and of course the addicting FUT. FIFA 15 is an improvement from FIFA 14 with some noticeable changes in the game. But with the problems EA has fixed, they have also unfortunately created new ones that they didn't mean to do. But FIFA is still an enjoyable game that I still get hooked on for hours.… Expand

    Still far better than the competition EA has made the first real steps into next-gen football after last year itteration. Although a solid game in itself with a lot of subtle (or not so subtle) changes, there is still a lot left to improve.

Although a solid game in itself with a lot of subtle (or not so subtle) changes, there is still a lot left to improve.
    This year's Fifa is visually upgraded from last year with a lot of new high-res faces having been scanned, Premier League presentation, new addition and varity to player moves, etc. Overall it's all fine and dandy but you can't help but feel that they can do far more. (Even though the animated ads along the sideline are brilliant..).
    According to EA's ad campaign keepers have been upgraded and this is immediately apparent when it comes to high power shots from distance when they make dramatic saves to prevent that late winner. However EA has seemed to have made keepers completely oblivious to close range low powered tap-ins.
    It's agonizing seeing the ball role past a keeper like Lloris when you know he could have just picked it up.
    A patch is needed here a.s.a.p. Great improvements but lacking.
    The physics systems is one that I haven't seen in any sports game anywhere else. It's fantastic to see a sliding tackle where the attachers last foot that hurdles the tackler get caught behind a leg or a foot. Brilliant and it really adds to the realism. Only downside is that you can sometimes see players of the same team run into each other as though they were blind.
    Computer and teammate AI has had multiple great updates over the last years and this year you can see that attackers no longer twist and turn (back) but actually either evade your charge or pass it off to a teammate. Defensively however your teammates seem not to pay attention to their surroundings. On many occasions you are caught having to quickly change player and dart after the attacker that AI has just failed to put any pressure on whatsoever.
    There is a lot to say, both good and bad, about this year's FIFA. Thing is, it's an improvement upon last (however small it may feel) and it's still far better than the competition. Having played every FIFA since it's first itteration back in '94 I know that EA always takes one or two years after the start on a new console generation to really get its game going on the new next gen but they're not there yet.    … Expand

    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.

    There are a lot of noticeable improvements, however almost all of them are cosmetic (grabbing jerseys, cleat marks in the grass, etc.). I did like the dribbling mechanics and shooting (dipping shots are a blast) a lot more in FIFA 15 than 14, however the hyped up "realistic AI goalie" was a load, because I didn't notice any difference.

    FIFA 15 is football simulation video game from EA Canada.
    FIFA doesn't change much, but is still my favourite football game.
    If you don't like FIFA, that's all right, play PES, because gameplay doesn't change at year.

    I'll start out by staying I haven't played a fifa game in years. I played all the time back when I had my PS2, and before that on my SNES. I tried getting back into it a few times with 2010 and 2011 but they didn't feel smooth and just frustrated me. So far 2015 feels and plays great.

    The only problem in the game is body collision. in any type of collision players are falling down with lots of tumble. It should be balanced. But except this, the game is good enough to enjoy !

    much more better than Fifa 14 with more offline game modes, adding lots of videos bring more emotions to the game which I really liked as you feel like watching real match, however the gameplay still could be better, scoring is not fun as much as pes 15 as you cannot decide where to shot exactly. In overall it is a good game

    FIFA 15 is not bad. But I find myself going 15-0 and running past the defenders much.

    Even though the FIFA series is an annual series, we can't deny that EA Sports is always trying to keep the game fresh every year. FIFA 15 brings thousands of new facial expression, a totally new goalkeeping system and a bunch of other improvements to prove that being an annual series doesn't mean standing on the same spot every year.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    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.
