Ultimate team is a fun idea and working while not playing matches. EA likes to work with a sort of handicap system that makes players sometimes more unresponsive and slow than in other matches. Pushing the sprint won't work, I can't RUN! This happens especially when you are on the urge to promote. Complete nonsense. Maybe if I buy Ronaldo or a legend for a couple of million. Will it be better then? That's the question EA wants you to ask. It's all about the MONEY. And people playing with Walcott who is going faster than the speed of light, it's just unrealistic. It's defendable, but also complete nonsense. No EA, I'm having real trouble to trust in a good Fifa 16.… Expand

In PvP the 'lobbed through-ball' is ridiculously overpowered and impossible to defend, and players can still make supidly accurate passes from impossible positions - you can face your own goal in your own penalty area and play a 100% accurate 70 yard pass to a striker who again is in acres of space. Attacking consists solely of 'play up the middle to a striker (who will always be in acres of space), play a 1-2 with your other striker, play a lobbed through ball and score one on one. Dribbling is also way overpowered, with average players easily humiliating world class defenders. Defending feels like trying to block a rocket launcher with a sponge.
    I still give this a 6 as the presentation is excellent, with realistic commentary and visuals, and the player liknesses are the best yet. it feels slick and Ultimate Team is an addicitive and fun game mode.

    Some of the latest FIFA also has no great novelties. The goalkeeping think rotten, but I must point out that the game has become more beautiful. However, the game is still good, but now I really have zero innovation.

The penalty system: Im notDO NOT BUY, seriously DON'T, Ive been playing fifa since fifa 07 and I can say without a doubt this is the WORST fifa I have ever played, the word scripted doesn't even do it any justice, it's an absolute joke. It is somewhat entertaining when the game is pulling for you, but when it's not it the most ridiculous, frustrating pile of garbage Ive ever played. The penalty system: Im not sure if you can call it a penalty system, granted the penalty system has always been a little iffy in FIFA games and they make so much money they don't care to fix it, but they just took it to a whole new level in this one, If I had a nickel for the number of times Ive been just destroyed in the box without the guy even being near the ball Id have a million dollars (otherwise know as almost enough to pack a good player in ultimate team). The handball system: It doesn't exist, not a joke, It literally doesn't, people can just swat the ball and get away with it. The stupid EA boosting system: you know the feeling of buying a 93 overall team of the season Diego Costa with pretty much 99 strength and then having him be outrun and pushed over like a lamp by a silver card?? I certainly do, when the game wants the other team to score the game just becomes completely unfun, your 90 passing fabregas will miss 19 4 foot passes in a row and the ball will go directly to the other team, your 90 overall ibra (with hunter) will miss every single shot he takes, even from 2 feet out, BUT WAIT that's not even the worst part, the worst part is how they boost the other team, have you ever seen tony kroos outrun jordi alba?? well I have! because it happens every game, when the game decides to do so, it just give the entire opposing team 99 pac 99 dribbling 99passing and 99 physical, it's really fun having IF walcott (99 pace with chemistry style) get chased down by john terry (like 40 pace or something terrible) and having him slide through both of your legs (without a penalty) have the ball stick to his foot, and he gets up before your guy, who is 2 feet away, can get the ball. The AI system: now this is very confusing to me, because they obviously know how to design AI's because the opposing team will always play the most amazing defense Ive ever seen in my entire life, no matter how good their players are, or how good yours are, BUT your defensive AI is best at staring at the ball ass it goes right by their feet or head and straight to the other team for an easy goal, how after 20 years of making this game your players still will never play defense unless your controlling them. The passing system: horrible....just horrible, it seems like they made it so that your guy automatically aims for the guy 70 yards away covered by 6 people instead of the 3 guys who are right in front of you wide open, it's the worst passing system of any fifa Ive ever played, ESPECIALLY when ea starts pulling for the other team, then your guys will literally just kick it to the opposite team. The Ultimate Team: let me sum it up for you quickly, Pace is the only stat that matters, and you need at least $200 if you want to pack anybody actually worth anything. I know there's more terrible things Im forgetting but you get the idea, its so super scripted and awful that everytime I play it ends with me screaming at my players because they can't complete a simple pass, or make a goal from 2 feet out, or the other team just fouls you every time you get the ball but get away with it because of the penalty system. I really can't stress how bad this game is, DO NOT BUY IT I'm saving you money and a lot of frustration, jus tog buy FIFA 14! It has a lot less problems AND you get the world cup add on FREE! Where you can actually get all of those player you wanted in regular ultimate team (ronaldo, messi, 90 ovr neymar, and plenty of other amazing players, plus it probably only costs like 10 bucks at this point which means you wont be giving as much money to a horrible bloated jackass of a company (EA) which makes us all happy.

    So to sum it all up DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, I don't care what the other reviews say (though im sure theyre mostly negative) it is not even worth 5 dollars, I have been playing FIFA games for almost 10 years and this game makes me want to switch to PES, and that's not something I thought I would ever say.    … Expand

I play defense slowly, rarely using the sprint button and instead counting on positioning to make a tackle. I have found this to save fitness points, especially for my top talent, but is increasingly difficult to pull off when I feel the need to constantly chase down defenders that dribble all the way up the field because I have cut off all of the primary passing lanes.

    other bad notables:
    -Bland commentary (no Ray 'majesterial' Hudson)
    -Keepers are much better.. making it harder to score
    -can't search for stadiums by league or team in FUT

    The good:
    Excellent atmosphere. The sensation of making the stand shake never gets old.
    If you like cut scenes and over dramatization, this is for you. The good thing is you can still skip through them.

    For the businessman:
    The transfer market is still in its infancy. Don't overspend on a player. Use the 'compare prices' and see what the 'buy it now' price is before bidding up a player. Also, there are deals to be made. I used to sell silver contracts for 650 with a buy it now of 750 in FIFA 13. They are now going for 150 over and over again. Snatch these up early and often as you will need them greatly down the road for your players.. or you can stash them and make a nice buy-low, sell-high gain on them in a few weeks/months. Lots of people look at Gold consumables and deals can be had on Silver because of it.

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.

    In the course of the last editions of the Fifa franchise, the game developers realised that in order to maintain a competitive environment and subsequently a popular and profitable game they had to level out and balance the difference in experience between players. This phenomenon is mostly if not only relevant to FUT (Ultimate team), aka EA's cash machine.

    What the average dedicated Ultimate team player realises in the long-run is that at some point (if not at many) he will encounter something called Handicap (automated rigging) that decides to tamper with the game. The reason for which this (undeclared) system is implemented in the game revolves around two goals; The first being that the game becomes more "competitive" and it allows inexperienced players to have their say in the game to ultimately keep them hooked and entertained. On the other hand, their second goal, much in relation to the first one, is to milk out as much cash as possible from the players. The way that EA does this is by making players go on either winning or loosing streaks. In the circumstance of a loosing streak the average player will resort to buying packs in an attempt to increase its teams strength and redeem his/her losses. Now as you may know one single match will never provide you with enough money to buy loads of packs and win high rated players so essentially what happens is that many people resort to spending physical money in forms of Fifa coins (or online Fifa traders if smart) to increase their chance of getting a good team. Much like popular games in the past and present (Clash of Clans, Runescape etc), they as a company keep you hooked to maximise their profit.

    The most common examples of tampering are the following: Players missing easy tap-ins, decrease in pace, players falling and tripping, randomly assigned penalties, excessive hits on posts and bars, players getting injured on an attack, 85 Physical rated players getting knocked down by garden gnomes and of course ridiculously easy goals between specific time frames (1-5, 40-45, 85-90, 90+).

    Although everything above is the main reason why I have lost faith and interest in the Franchise there are another set of reasons why I think this game deserves a very low rating:

    - I feel that beyond a slight refurbishment in the GUI, Career mode is still the same dysfunctional and bugged game mode
    - The strategical environment of the game is flawed (Bad defence, excessive attack, etc.)
    - Tournament on Ultimate team get stuck permanently
    - Squads in Ultimate team get Stuck for days if not weeks
    - EA servers go down way too much
    - Over priced Fifa Coins
    - Unrealistic ratings of players
    - Fifa tax on FUT transfer market (Really?, a tax in a game?)

    The reality is that EA is playing us for fools and have effectively been able to destroy something that old and young generations have craved as a culture. In true honesty my verdict on this game is a 2.

    The only real solution to make EA come to terms with what being an ethical company is about is by not buying this game anymore. Next year its PES for me. Its about time that some sane competition puts EA back on track.    … Expand

    This is a review of Pro Clubs. All other game modes deserve a 0 rating.

    The added "reserve position" ability while a game is in progress is the highlight this year. No other changes to be heard of. Gameplay and servers seem to be fine.

    Pro Clubs still doesn't have custom kits. The feeling of neglect to this game mode is still present.

    I have been trying to enjoy this game since it came out, but every time I make an effort I swear to never play the game again.

    First of all, I have been an avid FIFA player ever since FIFA 10 came out. I have seen the game change over the years and have experienced the positive nuances and obvious setbacks that each release has had to offer. I believe I am an above average FIFA player and I have learned the series enough over the years to be able to provide great insight to the more technical and subtle aspects of the game. With that said, I have to say that FIFA 15 is a pretty significant step backwards in the FIFA series.

    The Good:
    The game looks fantastic. Some of the visuals of the game are absolutely stunning (the players walking out of the tunnel, the supporting fans reacting to their team's goal, etc.). The player animations are smooth and flow perfectly, and ball mechanics feel and look realistic. Career mode has also added smaller features that improve game play outside of actually playing a match.

    The Bad:
    Not much in terms of innovation from the last game. There are new animations and the mechanics of the game have changed slightly but EA hasn't made any significant changes with the game that would compel me to buy it if it weren't for the roster updates (and the fact that online for an old FIFA game dies once a new game comes out). And of course, the EA servers (enough said).

    The Ugly:
    Defending is absolutely impossible. In past recent FIFA's, I had put effort into improving my defense by learning to jockey (LT), anticipating passes, learning when to call for a second defender, etc., but this year trying to win the ball back is a chore. Quick players with high dribbling stats can easily sprint past the best defenders in the game with ease. Over-the-top threw balls aren't quite as over powered as last year but still can still be extremely difficult to deal with. Goalies can vary from game to game, one game they are a wall, the next they couldn't stop a beach ball.

    Every time I try to play I tell myself that I can succeed playing the game without exploiting the flawed mechanics, i.e. pace abuse, constant over the top threw balls; (which I have been able to do in previous FIFA games; you would never see me do the "kick off glitch" last year haha) but I fall short to the rage that this game induces and I end up giving up.

    If you buy FIFA every year, than I would suggest to buy this game. It is satisfactory enough and maybe the game fits your play style better. If you are new to the series, I would either suggest buying an older FIFA (13 was a favorite of mine although that game also had its flaws) for cheaper or trying this game out.

    Disclaimer: The score of 4 is in relation to experience I've had with previous FIFA's. It would be hard to give the game a concrete score without comparing the game to past titles in the series.    … Expand

    It is a terrible update to the FIFA franchise. While the game looks beautiful, it certainly doesn't feel that way. The mechanics are worse than 14 (not that 14 was bad) and defending is nearly impossible while attacking has become easier. It is like have an overpowered weapon with underpowered armor. If this game wasn't a gift, I would have returned it.

    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.

    Want to play FUT? Forget about it, the servers are always down. Either that or you get disconnected and acquire a needless loss. Yet if you want to spend real world money on player packs, guess what, the servers are always up and running, ready to separate your from your money.

    Why create a game, which claims to have 'realism' e.g. crowd chants, facial animations, commentary etc, when the core gameplay is broken? The greatest problem, which remains from the previous game is the high pressing tactic, which renders all other styles obsolete. For those who don't know, in custom tactics you can set your team to press the opposition. This would be fine except it's game-breaking. For the full match, players are able to swarm the player on the ball and be physical without a hint of getting tired. What part of that is real? It's an exploit, which all kids use to good effect.

    I for one, have been fooled too many times by the hype and razzmatazz. I sincerely hope Pro Evolution Soccer can claw back and bring a level of competition for EA to think about, as this series is rotten at the core.

    Is it any wonder EA share the accolade with Comcast for worst company in America year after year.    … Expand

But theres some good ideas in this yrs fifa when the keepers are not going mad they make some great saves like your watching a real match the stadiums in england make a fun match hearing the songs and the chants the new shooting can be annoying but once you get used to it you will have fun trying 30 yard long rangers im skipping alot of stuff like no brazilian league no dynamo kiev and a few other things.

The little aesthetic differences to the environment are impressive.

    Dribbling is important again, which is a relief. Time after time on FIFA 14 you'd get in to great positions to buy yourself a yard and whip a cross in, only to lose acceleration completely and lose the ball. But on FIFA 15 you can get yourself that yard, you can leave defenders for dead and you can score solo goals again. The arcade feeling has returned, surrounded by this hi-tech universe EA have invented.

    The speed of the game is a little unrealistic - but at the end of the day, this is a football game and not a football match. But what good is all of that when FIFA 15 presents its problems before you work out its treasures?

    In the end, FIFA hasn't really been the same since they introduced Tactical Defending. I'm not saying that was the root cause of what we're playing now, but it gave EA the temptation to bite off more than they could chew with regards to altering aspects of the game completely when they only needed little tweaks.

    And the Next Gen goalkeepers are yet more evidence of this. What good are the fantastic new tactical choices of All Out Attack and Park the Bus if they don't lead to goals because there's a superhero stood in front of goal? I've played around 10-15 games on this and I'm certain the goalkeeper has been the highest rated player in every single one of them.

    It takes me 20 shots on target on professional - PROFESSIONAL - to score 2 goals. I'd bump it up to World Class like usual but I know I'd be on the end of 4-0/5-0 scorelines because the defending from the team I'm controlling is so loose. Pace and trickery can slice open my defence with ease, and my goalkeeper pales in comparison to the one stood at the opposite end. Why?

    I've given this a 7 for now because my problems will all be sorted by November when the first patch comes out - but I'm annoyed at EA for releasing a game in this condition. It still feels like a demo because of the amount of improvement work that needs to take place and I'm currently battering Everton 3-0 with West Brom because I know I'll be on the end of a cricket score if I bump it up to World Class.

    I await the patch.    … Expand

You will spend large amounts of time tracking but never tackling the other team. To pass the ball you have to mash the A button or it will be intercepted. Heading which was overpowered in "14" is now so "under powered" that you will likely never score a header for as long as you live.

    I'm sure everyone on here knows the problems, there’s no need for me to recap them. However, I think there’s one flaw that stands out, there’s no consistency in the game. The teams I play with, whether its on Seasons or FUT, differ from game to game. This is a key basic fault in the way the game has been made.
    I have two accounts, my first, main account, is cursed. I can't win for love or money. My record stands FUT 58-26-66, Seasons 24-8-20. I swapped everything, seeing as I had no resources in the other account, to that account. My current record stands at FUT 37-11-24 (but EA have caught up with me now, yesterday I beat a team with Rodriguez, Messi and Bale up front, not to mention the rest of the team, 5-1. Then, somehow, today I was destroyed 9-0 against a team, well, you should see the goals they scored, i.e. ricochets off my goalkeeper, off one defender, who then kicks it onto another defender, off my keeper again and falls nicely in front of my opponents striker..MAGIC.

    Another shocking instalment of a once loved franchise that seems to get worse every year, I remember buying FIFA 13 and thinking what have they done but that seems like a masterpiece compared to this regurgitated, still broken ****

    Every year they add more and more pointless features while the core gameplay is fundamentally broken with their 'physics engine' still a complete mess. On    Another shocking instalment of a once loved franchise that seems to get worse every year, I remember buying FIFA 13 and thinking what have they done but that seems like a masterpiece compared to this regurgitated, still broken ****

    Every year they add more and more pointless features while the core gameplay is fundamentally broken with their 'physics engine' still a complete mess. On this years roster of inane things they have added to try and mask that they have't actually done anything; little animations and cut scenes for absolutely every event. I don't want to see two terribly animated players pretend to square up over a clear cut foul, I don't want 30 seconds of my player picking up the ball, placing it, and then lining up the free-kick when the half only lasts 6 minutes. I don't want 15 seconds of a player arbitrarily moving his mouth in front of the ref in complaint when he slid through my attacker from the back in the penalty area while last man and only being booked for it.
    Players muscles now show through theirs shirt although again this could have been in FIFA 14, while they still stick to players like a second skin, how hard is it to animate shirts, I see games do it all the time.

    Lets talk about gameplay. Admittedly it has been a little to easy to score on previous FIFAs, especially on FUT, so the addition of new low IQ demi-god super keepers has been implemented to try and even it up a little. They will pull off incredible reaction stops and ridiculous double and triple saves only to come for a corner or cross they clearly can't get or maybe leave their near post ridiculously open without your input leaving the opponent with an essentially empty net. The keepers in this game feel very schizophrenic, while playing with the same keeper as my opponent, and the latter pulling off save after match winning save mine is beaten by his first shot, usually a scuff straight at him

    Defending it worse than ever, fullbacks drop playing attackers onside regularly. The AI will sometimes randomly pull a defender, usually your best centre back, from your well organised back line, leaving a gaping hole for one of the plethora of fast, strong black players your opponent is no doubt using to run in on goal unopposed and score near post. The defending AI is generally awful. Pace seemingly gets worse to defend each year, by the time you've managed to switch to the nearest player and you have broken from the glue that holds you to the pitch whenever you switch to a new player, Victor Ibarbo will have already passed you. It is possible to defend against pace but you need a perfect connection to the wonderful, venerable EA servers, anything less and your players simply won't react in time and if this is identified by your opponent they will get through to your goal at will. There is an exploit at kick-off when in two strides any attacker will have a free run at the defence, by passing the midfield who run aimlessly in the opposite direction. If you do manage to tackle a sprinting oncoming opposing player, don't be surprised if his momentum just wins him the ball back, or for your player to crumple to the deck leaving his standing and one less obstacle in his way.

    The physics engine causes FIFA 15 to play to a different rule book compared to the real game. Anything off the ball isn't a foul, and if you can master the off the ball foul you can stop a lot of would be chances. You will find yourself being fouled on the ball and decision going the other way, you will round the keeper and be scythed down will ball a few yards ahead only to find your ref is Sun Kwan Cho and his eyes don't open enough to see the incident.

    When the connection is good I can overlook most of the heinous design flaws and enjoy the game but as we know with EA this is rarely the case. One game my players are responsive with crisp passing and touches, the next they seem as if they have never played football, the passes either being under-hit or over-hit, having the turning circle of a heavy goods vehicle, constantly being offside, de-locking from the ball, standing behind opposing players, running to where the ball has been and gone, running into each other etc. I only accept games with green latency and my internet is very fast so I know its not on my end and 60% of games are fine but the other 40% make me want to pull my hair out. And in the end after one of these horrible laggy games where I have a scraped a draw to stay in my current division and my poorly animated PS2 graphics players celebrate their survival on the **** green carpet and Martin Tyler speaks of how he will see me again next season in the same division and I watch the first half of the highlight reel without being able to skip, a message pops up; 'disconnected from Ultimate Team'. I check my laptop, my internet is still on, I immediately reconnect to EA servers, 'it seems you disconnected from your last match, this will affect your DNF'. Relegated. **** you EA.    … Expand

    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

I have no idea where some people are getting their reviews from because this game has decreased in progress compared to FIFA 14. I'll begin with the presentation/fans/stadiums. Sure it seems nice when they advertise the improvements they've made but really the fans only cheer for about 10 seconds after you score, you can't understand their chants, and the commentary repeats the same phrases as '14. Also the "What a great way to score!" comment after the goalie lets a slow roller go under his legs from 20 yards out is quite frustrating. The gameplay is very dodgy and the farthest thing from smooth. You feel shaky on the ball and their is no movement from teammates off of it. It is nearly impossible to play defense. I wish I could count how many times I've just dribbled straight to the other teams goal straight off kick-off or vice-versa. Players get stuck on the ball many times while dribbling and it just seems unnatural. Keepers make great saves at sometimes but many times I find very simple shots going in off of keeper glitches. Also no matter what objective you give each player individually, they will most likely just wander around the field, clueless As I mentioned previously, defense is nearly impossible and your backs will most-likely miss every headball or clearance causing you to concede. The game just feels very phony and that you don't really have control over it. I'm waiting for them to make a game that gives an accurate representation of soccer, not a cheap-thrill arcade game. Just a very flawed game that I had much higher hopes for. I've been playing FIFA competitively for many years now and this game is the first one I will be trading in, very frustrating.… Expand

The terrible defenders and woeful, tragically contrived goalkeepers do afford some comic value, but ultimately the mad goalie rushes and blatant unresponsiveness of the defenders is a laborious chore which makes FIFA 15 the least immersive game currently available.

    The main assault, however, is the blatant disregard of the career mode in favour of the profit pulling FUT. Playing with friends across a season online just isn't possible and this is frustrating considering the fun I've had on connected franchise in Madden. Frankly its a game I no longer own, EA has made football, the most social of things, a very lonely grind. I'm kind surprised that they haven't started charging you coins for scoring goals...    … 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.

I can't really comment on mechanics and "changes" but after reading reviews, it appears that it's EAs typical take. Fix nothing, mess up everything else. The gameplay feels really heavy and does not flow well at all, graphics are nothing spectacular like everyone makes them out to be, Luckily I got this game for £5 so all I've really lost on is a few packs on Ultimate Team. Won't be playing this game anymore at all and I'll go back to my previous views on Fifa.… Expand

In fact, a 10/10 to counter act all the bad reviews and even it out a bit. I'm really enjoying this game now. However they could have done a lot more with career mode which I'm disappointed with. And by the way....I played Fifa 14 again yesterday to compare it, it felt a lot more robotic and programmed. Fifa 15 has a lot more freedom with the ball and there's more variations of passes, ways you can score goals, and defending. The goalkeepers are much more realistic. Again, fifa 14 felt programmed like the keepers had set limits. In fifa 15 the keepers surprise you with outstanding saves which happens in real life too. You can also send the keeper the wrong way which is a plus compared to fifa 14 where the keepers were magnets and always managed to guess the right direction. All in all its a much better game. Everything has either improved, or kept the same. They haven't taken any steps back… Expand

    This is by far the best version of FIFA EA has ever made. It's a significant upgrade from last year with tighter passing, tighter dribbling, better graphics, realism in the Premier League consisting of dead on stadiums, including the chants from each specific stadia, and realistic looking player models. FIFA 15 is easily one of the 3 best games of the year, and a must play.

    No fifa/EA.. this is not realistic..

    and secondly the decision making. playing fifa regularly I have been slide tackled from behind in the penalty box and nothing given even when they have not won the ball, yet I shoulder barge a player on the edge of the box and its a red card and a free kick. how can you justify these awful decisions. alongside this is the "last man" rule. if I am correct, a player who performs a last man tackle (not winning the ball) and denies a goal scoring opportunity is a straight red card, which in previous fifas they have managed to perform adequately, but in this one its usually a yellow card or nothing at all. especially in the penalty box.

    The first thing i liked about Fifa15 is the atmosphere especially in the Premier League,my first match played with Liverpool at Anfield it was just awesome,the fans really get the atmosphere to another level.When u score a goal at home u just feel the stadium go nuts.The gameplay is a bit too fast,sadly they missed the opportunity to slow the game down a bit to be more realistic.GraphicsThe first thing i liked about Fifa15 is the atmosphere especially in the Premier League,my first match played with Liverpool at Anfield it was just awesome,the fans really get the atmosphere to another level.When u score a goal at home u just feel the stadium go nuts.The gameplay is a bit too fast,sadly they missed the opportunity to slow the game down a bit to be more realistic.Graphics are good but i still expected a bit more on the new console generation.I got only one problem with the new Fifa,the overpaced attackers vs very slow defenders in UT,that just broke the game for me so this years FIFA will be mostly a SP experience for me.… Expand

    An okay game but there are issues that still makes one mad:

    * Inconsistence in referee decisions is one of the most frustrating parts of the game playing against the computer. * Team mates still has dumb AI. * The protect the ball mechanic is to overpowered for the man having the ball. He gets away with anything, and i do mean anything. Adress this to a more life like approach as an    An okay game but there are issues that still makes one mad:

    Well i can definitely say that its not the best Fifa. Next gen looks great, but it`s lack of gameplay makes it worse. Every year we spend 60 bucks for a "New game". We are getting tired EA.

    EA should remove momentum from FIFA series and should set a a manual controller filter to Ultimate team mode. Meanwhile FUT mode is more suitable for pace abusers. This is worst fifa since 2009 I have ever played.

FIFA 15 is a huge improvement from FIFA 14, from visuals to the play on the pitch, it all feels better, smoother and more like an actual game of football and not a track race. Though pace is still important, it's not all a player will need to good in this game. A strong player will bully a pacey / weak player off the ball, but if the pacey player has good dribbling and ball control then the strong player is **** You can still bomb it down the wings and cross balls in, but it doesn't work as well as it has before because the defenders will get the ball most of the time. Though short players / weak players can still score headers, it doesn't feel over powered as it has before, because in the replay you can see the defender jumped too early or too late, or simply just slagged off the man and he crept in and scored. The product on the pitch is well done as I've written so far already. The crowds in the BPL are amazing the sing the correct songs for each team. I've been playing as Spurs and hearing the crowd Yell COME ON YOU SPURS over and over is amazing. The living pitch that they've added is incredible, from slide tackles to hard shots that take a chunk out of the pitch, it's all there and it stays there. I like how the pitch deteriorates over the time of the game. Now to the issues with the game and oh boy where to begin. From the game crashing to glitched player potentials it's all there. I've had this game crash on me more times than i care to count at this point. When the games crashes on me, every time it happens I have to accept to terms of use again and go through the rewards screen. Not sure if that's happened to anyone else but it happens to me. At least the game auto saves when you make changes and so on, so far I haven't lost any progress in my career but that could change. Now on to my biggest issue with this game the one that makes me want to take the disk out of the console and throw it in the trash. As you progress further and further into your career the game gets slower and slower, not on the pitch and I'm not talking about transactions, I'm talking about how long the game takes to load or do anything. You sim a match, make a change to the squad, search for a player, it takes about 10-30 seconds before I can move in the menu. First season is fine no problems but as I've gotten further on it just gets worse and worse. I've tried all the fixes from disabling my internet connection on my Xbox to turning off UPnP in my router nothing has worked. Also before you go thinking this is a Xbox One issue, think again because I have this game on PS4 as well and same thing. So to wrap up the game is good, there are a ton of improvements from visuals to gameplay and presentation, but the technical issues is what plagues this game. As of writing this there have been no patches to deal with the issues I've stated.… Expand

    FIFA15 is the best release in the series so far, in terms of game-play, graphics and atmosphere. A 2-v-2 couch session with friends is always a blast!

A 2-v-2 couch session with friends is always a blast!

    However, this year I've had a miserable time with Ultimate Team due to various deal-breaker bugs:

    - Randomly dropping out of games and getting disconnected from the servers. On a bad day this can result in me not being able to finish any of the games that I start. There are explicit and implicit penalties to this kind of thing happening, which make progress very difficult. (This is not caused by a slow/unstable connection on my end)

    - Unable to start a game session after dozens of tries. I often like to squeeze in a game during halftime while watching a real match, and hey, if I have to spend 5 min just to find a game, I'm not gonna bother.

    - Intermittently get 0 coin for completed matches.

    - Some tournaments randomly get stuck, unable to start the next round and unable to forfeit and restart. For some people I've seen on the EA forums, this has happened on all available tournaments, effectively eliminating that particular vector of coin generation.

    - Stuck in a low division despite winning title/promotion multiple times. This means I'm often mismatched in terms of squad quality and opponent skill level. It's not fun for me to dominate some newbie with a bronze team until he rage quits 20 min into the game.

    Sorry EA, you really shot yourselves in the FUT this time round (Sorry, I'll show myself out).

    The year hasn't even ended and I'm pretty much over this season of FUT. The experience is just too frustrating. When hardcore FIFA fans like myself are seriously starting to look at PES, you know EA messed up...    … Expand

    Low score, because this game and FIFA 14 are the same with little differences. Pay 60 dollars for a game that is practically the same as his predecessor is a scam.

    How on earth EA Managed to sell this game to the public is beyond me, the defending is none existent and the goalkeepers all turn up with hangovers. Passes are just placed where ever it 'the game' feels like kicking the ball, the game is riddled with glitches such as on kick off you can sprint at the opponent team and your players can't tackle him.

    The new FIFA 15 game brings about a faster pace of gameplay than the previous installment.

Dribbling and strength being arguably the most important aspects of the game and there is more emphasis on pace than FIFA 14. Heading from crosses and corners do not feel as cheap as they did in previous games as they are harder to score. Freekicks are now scorable (being quite difficult to score in FIFA 14) but sometimes they can feel a bit too easy to score. EA still hasn't been able to find the correct balance yet. Gameplay overall is thoroughly enjoyable and a huge improvement from the slow pace of FIFA 14. Just like with every FIFA game however there are issues. Online matchmaking is very inconsistent making it difficult to find games even with an open NAT. This especially disappointed me considering I use to be a big fan of Ultimate Team and Online Seasons. Because of the matchmaking problems I have played a lot of Career Mode I have noticed numerous issues. For instance the AI is far too willing to engage in sliding challenges which can work in your favour in the penalty box, however anywhere else it can get rather frustrating. Player potentials/growth are broken especially for goalkeepers. You will find some of the older goalkeepers like Buffon, who starts as an 82, will rocket up to an 88 in one season; bear in mind he is about 40!. We all complained that players declined too fast when they hit their 30s, now they barely decrease at all. I was able to sell Robin Van Persie foe 50 million when United only paid about 22 million. EA again needs to find the correct balance for "older" players in the game. Another issue is with the menus in career mode. After one season the menus can get rather slow. The might be because of all the generated players but it can get annoying when you have to wait 10 seconds just to go right on the menu. Overall this is a good and enjoyable game with minor issues that COULD be fixed with a content update. Unfortunately EA does not appear to do content updates instead looking to fix it in FIFA 16 but then create new problems in the next installment. It's an unfortunate cycle that occurs because of their dominance in the Football game market.… Expand

    Fifa 15 is great game. But when it starts to get more realistic than the whole game changes. I know its a hard work but they should at least fix some problems. For me I think Fifa 13 was the best. After that it all changed. I mean i'll still play this game but i'm just being honest.

    Some of the latest FIFA also has no great novelties. The goalkeeping think rotten, but I must point out that the game has become more beautiful. However, the game is still good, but now I really have zero innovation.

    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 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.
