FIFA 15 News & Discussion Thread

Just played my first match as Ajax v Everton and absolutely loved it. The pace does feel slower than the demo and felt perfect for me. Player weight felt spot on, inertia spot on, shot power was fine although the keeper was still palming shots away so hopefully that was just this one game.

Also I can't remember feeling as much player individuality in 14 as this years version. Pace and strength are very evident when a tackle is made and both players are going for the ball. Sigþórsson up front for Ajax was a beast too, very strong at holding players off and drawn a couple of fouls from the CPU trying to get the ball from him. Not sure if he's strong in real life but it was very noticeable controlling him compared to other players.

Can't wait to finish work now and get back. Delighted with the full game.
 
Individuality is definitely there. A good example is with United. Everything is just slow and lethargic until you get Di Maria on the ball and you can just get at people, just like real life. It's a shame that you don't see any individuality in the way the AI plays.

Another big gripe of mine is the team sheet bar in the first few minutes of the match. Nice feature but anyone who uses the radar is going to get very pissed off!

Career mode will probably need a mod for me, like last year. Signed Ramsey and Varane for United, which is fine but it was far too cheap. I get the impression that transfer fees etc will all be as broken as before. I got up to January last night and Sturridge asked for a transfer from Liverpool. Most things are largely the same in regards to career mode.

You can turn the team lineup bar off if you want to :)
 
Played my unlocked PS4 version at 8! Amazing - better than the demo :)

I'd have accepted 'as good as the demo' given EA's tricks the last few years, but happy to say it feels tweaked for sure and for the better. Slower pace, lots of nice physics on display.

A shout here for the individuality too, although for me its the look of the players. Everyone says PES had the best looking players and I used to agree, but for me '15' is now holding that mantle. The fact 99% of the premier league players have had new face scans, their hair is spot on and all the little details.

Played Stoke v QPR and could tell from a distance easily who players were and close up and cut scenes was amazing too be honest - very good.

Also played a League 2 game with Southend and line ups and squad were spot on as of last Saturday which is good and the game didnt feel so clunky at that level either. Also they've improved the lower league stadiums now so they dont look so non-league - very nice!

Overall absolutely buzzing for this, superb game :)
 
Also, another things that annoys me are that the AI tactical switches are as broken as I feared. Chelsea are two goals up against me and they start holding the ball up in what doesn't even count as the corner, when they could have easily just put a third past me. I'm glad I got the PC version because mods can at least fix some things up.

Good news about turning the team line up bar off though!
 
I Played retail version for about 4 hours lastnight and then 2 hours this morning after downloading the 1st patch to see changes.

It is defintelty slower than demo and much more polished. There are things I like and things i dont like.

Besides a few niggles I have one major concern:
I play on legendary and edit sliders. I play on manual so I edit CPU pass error to balance it out. Just for a test I played Man Utd vs Newcastle and set CPU pass error to 100 and it didnt change much! CPU pass accuracy was 89% and sprayed the ball like Barcelona(Dont slider settings work anymore?)
 
Could the full game with patch guys confirm that the overpowered shooting from distance has been sorted?

Really is a game breaker at the moment on the XBO.
 
For me it is the opposite. It is too fast even on slow. Maybe it has to do with my PC. Nice to hear that it is slower on the console.

Only played 3 games last night on World Class...

I scored 4 controlled shots from edge of box with Diego Costa in one game against Barcelona, but didn't score a single one with Exeter and the ball ended up by the corner flag.. With Southampton though scored 2 controlled shots from edge of box with Ward Prowse, so I guess that if you only play Premier League then controlled shots are probably way over powered.

It was during my FUT where I was winning 15-0 + in games. 62 rated Bronze team.

It was mental. Volleys and shots from distance flying in. Think I scored some of the best goals I've ever scored! :) but :(
 
I dont want to play this Liv vs ManCity again... is there a way around it? argggh felt like I play it 30x already in demo :RANT:
 
Just played fifa15 full version from us account. Its by far the best fifa ever created and maby the best football game ever...Slower than demo, more space, more balanced, better shots. Of course only on manual/slow. I wish to everyone a happy fifa15 gaming year...
 
Never got the point of the liverpool game in the demo its a huge spoiler especially for career mode ppl like myself.
It's like going to see a movie and one of the trailers shows the last 10 mins of the movie your about to watch
 
I think ive still got about 2 hours left on my trail after this weekends tournament we had.

I'm gonna give career mode a go see what its all about.

COYR!!!!!!!!
 
Couple of things;

1) Scored a last minute winner with Colback at Newcastle and he went mental celebrating and when the whistle went at the end there was a massive cheer more so than usual which was a nice touch!

2) The rain!! MAH GAWD!!! They fixed the rain - looks awesome - not just rubbush white lines flying across the screen, if fact its so fine, you cant really see the rain at all - just like on tv
