FIFA 15 Looks To Be A Winner

11:13 AM - September 23, 2014 by RaychelSnr

The FIFA brand has been very consistent for a long time, and it seems almost automatic that users can expect a deep product with lots of modes, great gameplay, robust presentation and strong licensing. Well, early returns for FIFA 15 bode well, as this year’s release seems to have pushed hard for some meaningful gameplay changes while also addressing presentation and mode depth. In light of the under-resourced effort that was NHL 15, it’s reassuring to see that FIFA is continuing to improve...

It really is a pretty awesome game, and that's coming from a PES guy, in a year in which PES has returned to prominence. I find FIFA's combination of fluid gameplay, amazing presentation, stunning graphics and, of course, the full licensing package to be a can't miss game. That's not to say I won't be picking up PES in November as well, but FIFA is a worthy addition to any game collection, especially if you love the Premier League.

That's a great comment, and one which I think all football fans should take notice of.

I was a PES guy for a long long time, and FIFA had slowly been winning me over until last year in which it was the only one I bought.

There are still one or two things that need refining here but for a few years the total package has been second to none, and now the gameplay is top class it is an even greater package.

I can't play online, i can't even connect to EAS FC. Never had this problem before with any FIFA game.

This game is nothing short of incredible on new-gen. EA got it right!

# 6 Sdot23 @ 09/23/14 03:47 PM

I can't wait to pick up my copy after work. In really excited to have a game that actually feels updated and new.

# 7 cpen @ 09/23/14 06:31 PM

so smooth even on the ps3... bravo easports.. almost makes up for the debacle that is nhl 15

I was always expecting to buy Fifa 15, but now after the fact, and at $70CDN, I'm starting to regret the purchase. When I'm playing 15, I feel the same as I did with 14. For the amount of stuff that largely went unchanged, $70 is a bit much for this upgrade. Dribbling/control is nice, and there's some good changes here and there in gameplay... but I can't shake the feeling that a lot of changes amounted to the equivalent of slider adjustments. This could've been DLC.

Inexplicably no anti-aliasing (on PS4 at least) so it looks worse than FIFA 14. This better get fixed STAT!

# 10 badflounder @ 09/23/14 08:05 PM

It's excellent IMO but the atrocious overscan issue on PS4 is irritating. I'm sure they'll fix that but right now it's annoying! The game looks zoomed in, which is incorrect for anyone running full pixel 1080p on TV.

It went from hard as hell to score in the demo, to being able to score on literally any shot u want. The game runs smooth but it's like the gave the offense an upgrade and downgrades the defense. Hopefully an update can fix this

# 12 cepwin @ 09/24/14 05:54 AM

I haven't noticed the overscan issue. My only complaint so far is they seemed to have neutered the practice area where you can only do one-on-one against the keeper. The set pieces and scrimmages seem inexplicably to have been removed. (If they had done such a thing to Madden there would be pitchforks and torches coming out)

I had a lotta fun playing this last night, bravo EA!

"The idea is that players all have a relationship with each other and that the presentation package will help articulate those moments"

"I thought it was interesting that you can share these concept squads, and other users can give feedback on your potential lineup"

"Now shots will drift and sail appropriately if you apply too much power, and I’ve just seen a lot more variety in the shots and goals"

This FIFA sounds like EVERYTHING I want in a 2015 sports game. It's a shame I'm not at all a Soccer fan. If I find another reason to buy a PS4, I might give this a try anyway, if it really is this good.

Should I be hesitant to buy FIFA new from EA, after the efforts they put forth on NHL and Madden?

From playing the demo and reading all of the new features in the game. NO!!!! I think it is definitely worth the $60 US for the game. Even if you are still playing on the PS3 or 360, like me. I was surprised at how similar the games are compared to the other EA titles meaning Madden and NHL. Like if you look at Madden on last gen there is no tackle cone, no defensive player lock. But from what I have read on last gen for FIFA we get the BPL presentation upgrade, more free kicks/fouls, & the new team sheets.

Well I had a couple consoles already and sold my PS3 and Xbox360 because the games I used to love (PES, Fifa, GT5 ) were kind of a let down to be honest. Paying so high for games that were disapointing me year after year just felt stupid. So I said, no more consoles, fu@k it.

Now this Fifa, unlike I was thinking, is making me loose my mind and buying a NG console. It feels so much better then any other version! Damn!

Yes it played smooth with no issues and looks great...FUT is addictive as ever. My only gripe is that they appeared to have cut practice mode to only 1 v 1 taking out the scrims, set pieces, etc. This *really* needs to be patched back in (come on guys... you had the next gen code from FIFA 14!)

This is the 3rd or 4th time I've heard this. The freestyle practice has always been one of my favorite things about FIFA. I have wasted countless hours dicking around on that mode, working on my dribbling and listening to what is usually a pretty decent soundtrack.

Come on EA, say it ain't so!

Soccer sucks. Running around playing for tie scores is un-American.
