You can change the level in the demo

In the demo the difficulties were just all over the place (I got ripped in pro on the demo with a superior team). People really need to ignore this year's demo. I won't rehash all the demo issues, other than to say the final game is much more refined.

What?? I must be better at Fifa than I thought. I thought the demo was easy on Pro and just right on World Class. Too offensive but right for the fast clock

It doesn't need to be a 100% true sim to be a great game.

Yes there is some tinkering with sliders that is badly needed to bring it up to a great level, however that's the same for nearly all sports games these days, because they give anyone the option to play however they want.

I'm a fan of realistic football, but even I enjoyed cranking the sprint speed and shooting power up to 100 and just having a laugh with it for a game or two.

One of the most enjoyable football games I've ever played was PES 2009, and that was massively attack-heavy.

I have no problem with higher scores in shorter games when we're talking football. Even so, I've had a 0-0, 2-1 win and 6-3 defeat in my last 3 games vs the CPU on World class.

If the sliders can be nailed then this game will be amazingly realistic AND fun.

Are the goal keepers still on steroids on the final build?

Wasnt impressed with the fifa demo, and I wont be getting the game. I agree with some of the earlier posts, and disagree with the review. This game is not evenly balanced and the pace is not very realistic. It plays nothing like a real soccer match. Way to fast, way to much dribbling, not enough midfield play, and way to much space on offense. Fifa has the licenses and presentation down pat but fifa is just like madden to me, because the games play like a highlight real. The subtle things that make that particular sport beautiful are missing in ea games. Fifa included.

I am the stereotypical American soccer fan. My knowledge of soccer while growing is very limited. I haven't bought a soccer game since PS2 days.

I love this game more than I love MLB the show and equal with Madden. That's saying a lot. It may not nail down the sport as much as much as it should to some but it's a damn good game.

this is exactly why I don't like FIFA, haha. alabamarob hit it on the head for me. I can see how some people like this game I was just shocked how little operationsports review talked about the gameplay and how it feels aspect of the game. This is supposed to be a site devoted to sports gaming and the review was lacking substance.

Madden 15 review had about 67549 comments... Fifa 15, the much superior game has 30. We complain about Madden and it's shortcomings but as a sports gaming community we don't praise a well executed and highly praised Fifa? I don't get it. Maybe it should be OperationMadden.Com, anyhow, I think this is one of the greatest sports titles ever and I can only see EA improve upon this massive effort. Great things here and greater things to come.
