    If this is your first Fifa game on the new gen consoles then you will be blown away by all the little details that together contribute to an overall experience not too dissimilar to watching football on live television. If you owned Fifa 14 on Xbox One or PS3, Fifa 15 is still a significant upgrade, though maybe not the revolutionary product that it was built up to be.

    There just isn’t much else EA can do to make this a better game. So it made great, incremental improvements everywhere.

    Playing it makes me believe I can do just about anything with the ball at my feet, and this self-assurance is powerful. If you have the desire, FIFA 15 meets the challenge. It does not disappoint.

    Yet one great iteration for EA's franchise, with subtle but important improvements and capable of fully engaging the player from the very first minutes.

    EA have struck pure gold with Fifa 15, the series is back where it needs to be following the few setbacks of Fifa 14, and this year’s additions have taken it to a whole new level.

    FIFA 15 is not a revolutionary title but it has the potential to fill hundreds of hours for a football fan, be it in classic multiplayer, Ultimate Team or the classic Career Mode.

    All in all, this is again a wonderful and more lively piece of football, taking steps forward where it counts.

    FIFA 15 received upgrades in all the right places: Presentation and gameplay. EA Sports outdid themselves and have shown that the beautiful game is just that on the next-gen: Beautiful.

    FIFA 15 goes conservative this year, by introducing a small set of changes in the gameplay. It surely lacks some innovation, but you can breathe and taste football like you've never done before in a videogame.

    While the changes may not be as robust as we have seen in previous installments in the franchise, there is no question FIFA 15 has firmly cemented itself as the best soccer game on the planet.

    This year’s second FIFA offers very little that is new, but overall it’s still one of the best sports games around. [Nov 2014]

    FIFA 15 is still a beast of a game, but there's next to nothing new to see and play. Despite this, improved match presentation and goalkeeper AI make it an exciting game for months to come.

    If you are a diehard FIFA fanatic, you will not be disappointed. And if you are new to the series, FIFA 15 is not a bad entry point.

    It is nice to see EA not sit back and take it easy with their illustrious FIFA franchise, and honestly they will need to keep it up with Konami’s PES series set to return with a vengeance.

    In some ways it’s a step forward, in others a step back - and with Konami’s PES seemingly in resurgent form, EA Sports can’t afford to take its eye off the ball.

    FIFA 15 delivers what you would expect from it. Which is a massive plus point for EA Sports this year. In fact it’s the first EA game I’ve played this year that was actually feature complete at launch.

    FIFA 15 it’s a football experience clearly built for new generation platforms but it’s not without problems or sufficiently demarcated from previous games.

    FIFA15 will probably remain the best football simulation on the market, with an improved gameplay compared to last year but, at the same time, it presents some problems encountered in the defensive department and goalkeepers. This year's FIFA is one step forward and one backward.

    FIFA 15 is still the king of the genre, but starts to show the need to add something new to keep itself fresh.

    FIFA 15 layers on atmospheric changes like television presentation and player reactions to highlight what already works rather than tamper with it.

    We can hope that next season, EA Canada continues to iterate, and strikes a balance between footballing glamour and realizing the beauty and passion of mid-table obscurity, because all football fans deserve the chance to experience a real simulation of the game we love.

    Simply because the World Cup is mentioned in this year’s installment, I’d say add this to your collection, but if you’re neck deep in collected items from last year’s title, sticking with the old might not be a bad idea.

    FIFA 15 is a potential masterpiece but many issues spoil the gameplay. Ping-pong passing, finesse shots and speed return unexpected: with a little more polishing, this game could shine for real.

    FIFA 15 is a very good game. The only real issue is that it all seems very safe, when risks are needed to keep annual franchises alive.

    FIFA is always at its best when the pitch is tilted in the attacking side's favour, and this year's is a peach. It's not the 'true' next-gen FIFA we've been waiting for, but it's as dynamic and thrilling as any entry in the series thus far.

    FIFA 15 may not be brimming with new ideas and game modes, but it is the most polished and enjoyable version of the football sim yet.

    While not as an impressive leap forward as FIFA 14 on next-generation consoles, FIFA 15 is still a solid package. The gameplay might have taken a sideways or even slightly backwards step, but at the moment, this is the closest to the beautiful game we have in terms of presentation and delivery. For now.

    How have EA gotten away with this again, To release such a big title again without it being finished and missing tons of key features, TheHow have EA gotten away with this again, To release such a big title again without it being finished and missing tons of key features, The developers lied about a ton of features that are NOT in the final product.

    Feature number one being 'Next Generation' Goalkeepers that are not in the game, They are broken and unresponsive and expect the players to just sit back and accept this. It is completely unacceptable that this game be released with one of the most important parts being completely unreliable and broken.

    Next is the frame rate even on the Xbox One the game runs just above average with frames in some game modes dropping to at least 20-25fps which for a game that relies on speed and precision isn't going to work at all.

    The game is too highly paced it's incredibly unrealistic and offers little to zero skill to be good at the game.

    Broken defending, The defending is near broken it's almost impossible to stop players on the attack if they have even the slightest bit of pace, It's unresponsive and sluggish with no options to break down an attacker.

    I myself am a seasoned FIFA player, I've been through the ups and downs of the game and this has to be the lowest point of the games history.

    I just don't understand how EA can continue to destroy such a popular title.

    Avoid at all costs and stick to last years FIFA it's the closest you'll get to a realistic simluation of football.    … Full Review »

    It's not a bad game, as such, they simply haven't fixed prior flaws and have added a number of new one's.

    The gameplay remains a bit clunky and the new dribbling has made it move it a frantic pace, not a good combination. Speaking of the new dribbling, it's way over the top. I have no problem with a Ronaldo or Hazard flying between defenders, but when Ricky Lambert is dribbling around defenders like he's Messi then the dribbling has gone way over the top.

    The new goalkeepers are also over-powered in one-on-one situations, yet virtually useless when it comes to stopping shots from further than 12 yards; shots right down the middle go past them like they aren't there, or just go through their legs.

    Don't know what to say really, last years game was alright and this is a step back in all areas other than presentation. Hopefully PES's revival carries over to the full game to make up for their dreadful effort last year and FIFA's poor effort this year.    … Full Review »
