FIFA 15 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (PS4, XB1)

[woody2goody]

I'm a bit of a stats nerd, so I'd like a Football Manager-style career stats screen for every player.

I've always loved that with the NHL games (the stats in that even took a step backwards from the PS2-3 era this year, but don't get me started) and I think it would be useful, especially in Manager Mode.

This is what fifa does to me. 14 and 15 do this more than I care for.

13 and prior I don't recall this happening as much.

What it is, is this. And look I like this game and I liked 14.

Anyway what it is, is a user c0ck tease.

Many times in 14 and 15 I think of something clever to do on the pitch and I can execute to like 95% completion and what wrecks it? Not the cpu, well sort of, but my cpu controlled players.

Here is a prime example. I am schalke and sub on the pacey RM in the 60'. I get trapped on my left sideline by the CPU and decide to get clever.
I play the most beautifully weighted field swap ball, daring, perfectly executed except whappen?

Out of nowhere my RB sprints up under cpu control and does this? Why?

This is what happens, beautiful soccer destroyed by my own cpu controlled teammates idiocy. I have no idea why coding like this exists in the game other than to tease the user. It's cruel.

Haha I do like this! At the :32 mark the guy in the Orange vest photo bombs my vid.

Are your team tactics set up for overlap for fullbacks?

also, what camera is that?

Anyone else find it a lot harder to get shots on goal this year? I miss so many shots wide

A criticism I have after playing a ton of games is that AI marking in and around the box is too tight/stricts man to man. I am scoring a lot of my goals by beating my defender on the dribble, and then cpu defenders just aren't leaving their man to mark me so I can get a good chance at goal. I should draw defenders more often, and in turn have to attempt a pass to a teammate for a header or along the ground.

Been playing for the better part of the afternoon and wow is this game near perfect. I've had all kinds of games, from shootouts where my team and the CPU combined for five goals in the first half to games where only one goal was scored. World Cup diffculty is a lot more fair this year and I feel like pace and strength really are on equal terms. I've dominated with Giroud and I've also dominated with Alexis Sanchez, both players are different but their skills translate to Fifa 14.

Fifa has really stepped up their game this year.

My only gripe is it seems on WC CPU goalies won't dive on penalty kicks

Yeah that stings. Makes you want to immediately release the RB to set an example. Except it is the AI and not the RB.
