Absolutely agree. Best FIFA yet, which I acknowledge isn't exactly an accolade given the rubbish served up by EA in recent years.
It's a semi-arcade game of football and I'm completely fine with that. Thinking FIFA (or PES) will be anything other than this is naive.
A bloody good semi-arcade game of football I might add. The ball physics are excellent and I think it's this that sold the demo to me. I like the feeling that anything can happen as the ball bobbles about and takes errant touches off players. The ball feels like a free entity and the game comes alive because of that.
The all-round package is so strong and the game is approachable and easy to live with. Loads of leagues, loads of stadia, lots of realistic and authentic touches. No need to piss about with option files/patches.
I'm also painfully aware that I could be in my dotage by the time Konami get their shit together and actually release a game that looks and feels modern. Thankfully FIFA is filling the void this year.
THIS!
I still don´t get it sorry guys.
Like Jamezinho and others said, this is the best Fifa ever! I´ve always avoid games like Fifa, even when PES was making horrible versions one after another until this year. I tested the demo and I got "woooow"! Not only the presentation is the best ever by miles, but the gameplay is soooo cool! I just love the passing, the shooting, the dribling, the defending also! Lots of people complain about defending but I hope EA won´t touch it, because it gives the game some dificulty and makes me think safe before I just put some attacking strategy and kill every single team on the way to glory... boring.
Another thing is no match is like the previous and that I+ve waited for so long in a game. Oh this Fifa is great and to me is even near perfection, with flaws in it yes. But people are just looking into small things and making them huge, like that bad 10% of the game is going to break the other great 90%. Not to me! for now, it just feels the best and most complete soccer game up to date.
AND THAT!
Usually I´m a hardcore PES fan and always loved PES´ gameplay more than FIFAS.
But the FIFA 15 demo made me buying the full version of this game (35 € for PC is not a bad deal) and I haven´t regret it.
Actually didn´t wanna (my last FIFA I bought for PC was FIFA 99
) but like I said: the demo made do it.
Actually all the things I didn´t like about FIFAS gameplay in the recent years, I can´t find them this year.
Gotta add, that I haven´t played many releases that much so far, only FIFA 09 (bought it for PS3 and disliked it quite soon because the gameplay made me feel like every match is the same), FIFA 12 and 13 a little.
But this year, animation, dribbling, ball physics, visuals, presentation, the details on the pitch (my player shoots a goal, cheers by sliding on the grass and leaves a mark on the pitch which stays there for the rest of the game! I was like WTF???) etc and every match feels different!
Started to play a manager carreer mode with TSV 1860 Munich (2nd Bundesliga division) and scouting players and all that stuff is a a lot of joy to me.
Not really a big thing as the naked ML from PES 2014 was the last I was playing.
And after a match I spend time on watching those replays which look damn fine, just like on TV and loving how the commentator´s audio comes in the mix to the music on a goal.
Too bad that you can´t skip through scenes like it used to be possible earlier.
The only thing which is quite a downer to me are the poor faces and player models.
Those arms, hardcore biceps anabolica whatever and I hardly find any face where I can say: "Yeah, looks like his original".
But apart from that: Great game!
Playing semi on slow speed and professional.
