Yeah in the FK skill game on 14 you can curl them like crazy. I wish it was like that in the full game. It's toned down a lot in the full game but you can still do it.

To curl, let's say you are 25m out. You can just hold up while powering up to dip the kick.

You can also hold up and as you power up the kick roll the stick left or right to add swerve. So go from 12 to 9 to bend left or 12 to 3 to bend right (on the stick). This is for a righty.

Man after patting tons of FIFA 14 on the PS3 and a bit on the PS4, the ball physics passing and player movement are glorious. I love how the ball keeps momentum during the players first touches.

And man I caught Aubameyang on the wing with a pass starting a counter I never would have been able to make in 14. Awesome.

Also, glad Aubameyang has a scanned face now. A nice surprise

Man I can't wait for 15 now. Just wish creation centre was on PS4. I got six guys I loved using on the PS3. At least give us the similar CAP options like on the web app in game.

I don't know about everyone else, but finally after years I'm seeing a decent number of fouls!!! And, the CPU has been getting 1 or 2 cards per game on World Class.

But, after buying the PS4 specifically for the "next-gen Fifa experience", I'm largely underwhelmed by the demo. Yes, all the superficial fluff is there, but it still has most of the glaring flaws we've been dealing with for years.

Ah well. Still going to buy the game anyway, cause I love football!

Well after spending some time with the PS4 demo today, I can say that I am both impressed and disappointed.

I was impressed by the presentation of the game itself. It was a really cool pre-game setup as they showed the lineups, and the stadium looked great with the new lighting. The players looked the same as 14, but now all have huge shoulders and arms. These guys are football players not rugby players, so it looked a little strange. Overall, I'm happy with how things look graphically. It isn't an improvement across the board, but it all builds up the gameday experience quite nicely. One thing to keep in mind though is that these graphical enhancements are really only interesting for the first few times you see it. Gameplay will be the most important thing after you've spent a few days with the game.

Because of this, I am disappointed to say the gameplay left me the least impressed. It feels very similar to 14, but with little tweaks here and there. The dribbling did feel better and better as I played more, but that is just one small part of the gameplay. I found the shooting to be pretty bad, with keepers going into beast mode every time you hit a normal shot, but then keepers being beaten easily when you finessed. Like others have said, there isn't much midfield play in the game either. Defending on the other hand seemed unrealistic as you could easily slide tackle the computer as they made their long runs with the ball. I don't think I've ever found slide tackles to be so OP in a game before. Anyone else notice this?

Finally, the goal that made me put down the game today was a classic Fifa AI goal. I was Barca tied with PSG 0-0 approaching the 90th minute. PSG gets a free kick from the halfway line. Long ball into the box where Cavani straight volleys it in at the near post. Now I know some of you may say this sounds like an amazing goal, but any long time Fifa player knows that goals like this are more often a case of the computer needing to score than it being something that was genuinely impressive. This type of thing is what is driving me mad with the series. I can only imagine that online play will be similar to 14 if these type of BS goals are still in the game.

There's some improvements here, but some of those game killers for me are still here as well. It's disappointing that EA STILL hasn't addressed old flaws in the game. I'm a long time Fifa fan, but this demo has done nothing to stop me from following the developments in PES. I would recommend others to hold off on pre-ordering/purchasing until the PES demo is released.

As others have noted, I see teammate defense is still pretty weak. It's been an Achilles Heel for the series for a while. To be fair I haven't tried upping player marking.

The game definitely feels different from 14, and the presentation is indeed very good. Still can't really tell if teams have their own style this year, and will have to play more to see about that.

On a side note, I forgot to switch the controls to where square is shoot and circle is long pass. My first possession of the demo I manage to X pass my way up to Sturridge in the box, and press square (long pass) to shoot, and the result is a perfect little chip shot over the keeper's head! Even had a defender make a leaping effort to try and keep it from going in. Looked pretty sweet, even if it was essentially a mistake.

I saw a few others things that stood out, like Aguero getting injured in a very realistic looking tackle that had him tumbling to the ground. Like I say, the game definitely feels different that 14, just not sure about the lingering issues that FIFA seems to carry over from year to year.

A couple of cool things I noticed tonight that I haven't seen mentioned yet:

* A big HELL YEAH for switching to receivers on throw-ins! It only took them three years to catch up with PES, but better late than never!

* No more dreaded FIFA BEEP! If you ever heard it you'll know what I mean, man it was annoying as all hell.

Playing on World Class/Slow/Full Manual and I don't know what else to say but this game just feels right, it may not be flawless but it's a better version of 14 and that's all I need. Well, that and Forest getting promoted to the Prem.

Playing on WC full manual.

I think the opportunity is there to really play the close quarter passing/tikki taka football as teams like Arsenal and Barcelona play. One can accurately and effectively pass short now. Its actually hard to get used to as I found myself underhitting a lot of my passes. Encouraging signs for players who enjoy this style.
