    Good long balls and cross field passing, the ball has a nice curve on it and feels realistic.
    Passing feels crisp although it's far to easy to use the through ball to deadly effect, passing out of feet is the biggest improvement for me, FIFA 14's worst part was the inability to react last minute, either with a pass, shot, or most noticeable - turning on the ball, it didn't matter if you were Messi or Ronaldo it was just sluggish - this has been fixed.
    Close control and reaction times when on the ball are now excellent and sharp, for me this is what EA seemed to have worked on this year, and it feels great.
    Multiple starting lineups can now be saved in career which saves so much time when swapping fatigued players, now I just have a 1st team and 2nd team ready to go.
    Flicking through player bio's is no longer delayed and sluggish.

    Con's
    Game speed is too fast and unrealistic, 'arcade' doesn't cover it! Sometimes my eyes struggle to keep up with the ball it's so fast. If you have a fast player then it's like games of old, you only need him, just 1 guy! You will be able to dribble wherever you want with him and be able to create chances from nothing with ease, every single time.
    AI sliding tackles are ridiculously accurate and constant, I have stopped playing AI now because of this, it's so unrealistic it is actually painful to play.
    Career scouting still exists - why oh why. This is not football manager, I want to search for players from a full database, based on specific stats. If I want a good passer I should be able to search for a specific passing attribute. If I want a young, small winger with a specific transfer value and overall attribute I want to be able to search for a 17-19 year old, worth between 3-4 million, rated between 70-75 and is 180cm max. Instead it takes a week of in game time to scout a player to the point of been able to see his overall attribute, value, wage etc and the players that are scouted are minimal and often obscure. This is a massive problem that has destroyed career mode for the last 2 releases. Just give us a full database to search at our freedom.
    Sloppy ricochets off other players and especially the referee are constant, players fumble over each other all the time. It's like a game of pinball sometimes.
    AI defenders are awful, unless you play a ultra defensive focus the AI leaves gaps everywhere, especially the centre backs. No matter how good you are at defending your AI defenders will let you down in every single game, FIFA 15 was not designed for tight games or clean sheets. I play my brother mainly, FIFA 14's biggest scoreline in over 300 games was 4-2 with most been 0-0, 1-0 or 1-1, our first 3 games on FIFA 15 were 5-3, 5-2 and 4-4! We have played around 30 games together now and it's still the case. This makes the game lack any sense of skill and achievement.
    Every time I want to create a pro I have to create myself from scratch, a option to use a existing creation would be a simple but nice addition.
    Once again, online friendlies have a 60 second time limit for setting up your formations and starting lineup. This is necessary when playing unknowns in seasons or UT but not when playing a friend.
    The new squad interface is poor. It takes much longer to search though and sub players, the time limit is the same as FIFA 14 so essentially there is now less time to make changes.
    A lot of the player faces are laughable, really - you will laugh out loud at some of them.
    Free kicks are harder to miss than score.

    Summary
    Poor in all. Its a lazy production, a game with a following the size of FIFA's should be polished and rounded but there are so many holes in this years game I am thinking of selling it.
    FIFA 15 is a game for children, serious football fans who appreciate the games complexities should stay away and save your hard earned cash, it's a unrealistic arcade fest. It feels unfinished and sloppy in most of its mechanics. EA have dropped the ball, AGAIN.    … Expand

Games are identical , just a series of through balls or quick players tearing down the wing . The momentum feature is still present , you can tell when you are going to concede a goal , your players cannot pass to each other , and your keeper cannot hold onto anything. What is so infuriating is that everything about the game is top quality , but the gameplay is terrible , EA have made an arcade game for younger players , games end 5-5 , loads of goals , its just so boring its unbelievable.I can't recommend it at all , best wait for PES 15 which looks miles better for the more mature player… Expand

    What a useless pile of rubbish. 40 quid for a team of epileptic daleks who run in directions you can't even control. For an unfinished flaw-ridden game with mechanics as smooth as trying to fap with sandpaper. I'd rather hang my balls from a noose and take a bath in hydrochloric acid before I play another minute of this, disgraceful excuse for a programme.

    This is the worst Fifa game on Xbox 360 i'll ever play. All players are so fast. You can not control the game. Just take the ball and run. You will score eventually. This game is the best game for the new fifa kids. But the ones who play fifa before and know how the handle the game, or how to do pass and skills; this game is intolerable.

    Gotta laugh at how many fake accounts EA have set up on here, even going so far as to write one in Spanish to make it seem 'authentic'. 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,    Gotta laugh at how many fake accounts EA have set up on here, even going so far as to write one in Spanish to make it seem 'authentic'.

    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

    Awful, simply awful. How can EA get away with publishing half finished games? And scripting is back bigger bad badder than ever before plus the main exploit..."the hoof" is the most effective weapon. A footy game this isn't, more like a turgid mess of AFL and NFL combined.

    Fifa 15 is exactly the same game as Fifa 14 in terms of CORE GAMEPLAY. Infact, it's the same as Fifa 13 as well, and Fifa 12, and 11, and 10, and 09. And before you say "Uh but it's a football game, they can't add much or it won't be a football game. MUM MY BRAIN FELL OUT AGAIN!"

If that's the case, EA should release a game called 'Fifa: Elite Edition' or something, and give it updates every so often, then whenever a new console comes out they can release another one with better graphics. But no, EA is an unthinking, unfeeling soulless pile of black sludge. It doesn't want to do what the fans want, it wants to make more money and make more money and make more money until global warming makes the water levels rise and we all drown. Or until WW3 starts.… Expand

You can really see where the profit EA are making, when they release a slightly updated version of the previous game every year - this time for multiple-generations / consoles. I noticed a decline in the quality of gameplay as updates were applied throughout the year, causing shortened seasons, frequent loss of coins / players / contracts / fitness in Ultimate team.
    Generally the matchmaking feels predetermined and is terrible; almost always putting me up against a 'Legendary' team for the last games of the season and the same is to be said of the gameplay, where goals are triggered by predetermined events such as injuries, glitches resulting in loss of possession and the typical 90th minute trigger. Although I have played this game throughout the year, I haven't progressed from division 3 in Ultimate Team (online) since March 2014, creating stale competition with little variation in difficulty. Also, random spikes in the price of consumables throughout the year makes it harder to improve your team and now that Fifa 16 is out, I've nearly run out of coins which seems like a marketing strategy to get me to buy FIFA 16.

    Such a great concept for a game, however EA let themselves down once again by making the same game with newer visuals and an overall terrible playing experience. Like the editions before it, Fifa 15 is less of a work of art and more of a half-finished beta release that will keep EA's funding going until they disappoint 360 users next year, or bail on previous-gen systems and convince Xbone and PS4 to buy the same game.

    I look forward to trying out the Fifa 15 DLC, Fifa 16, which i hear will cost more than ever thanks to PS4 and Xbone. One star because I think Sepp Blatter is a genius for running FIFA like the Washington Redskins, only instead of doing nothing he's taking away humans rights which somehow generates revenue.    … Expand

    Очередная фифа с «огромным прорывом в графике и новыми анимациями игроков», а также нереалистично быстрыми игроками и дальними, залетающими через раз, ударами.

    FIFA 15 represents an improvement on last year’s game in some regards, but a step back in others.
