RIP FIFA 15 servers.

Even few days ago (like a month or two) the servers were there. Now I can't connect and access the Catalogue menu. How will I unlock the extra balls, 3rd kits and stuff now?


Also sucks that there are no LAN support, but thank God Parsec exist, so it will still be possible to play with others to some extent.

Randomly came across this old thread, and just wanted to flag for awareness that its relatively easy to get the catalogue unlocked for offline use even with servers now permanently offline.

All it requires is some additional lines of code be added to locale.ini (or locale.big for consoles that are able to run modded code, e.g. X360 with a hardware mod).

Same instructions/lines of code this guy used for FIFA 19 works for earlier versions of FIFA as well

Thank you. This will save me a lot of headache.

Is there a patch that slows down gameplay? I know it's a game that's too fast.

 

[Tibokan]

Wanted to share a few basic mods/tweaks to improve anyone's initial FIFA 15 experience on PC.

I have attached a little mod pack that has:
- No Intro Video Patch - place the two files in data/movies in C:/[FIFA 15 installation folder]/data/movies/ and use CG File Explorer to regenerate.
- Skip Config Launcher - place fifaconfig.exe and config.ini in C:/[FIFA 15 installation folder]/fifasetup/, no need to regenerate.
- Unlock Full Practice Arena and Unlock Full EA Catalogue - place cl.ini in C:/[FIFA 15 installation folder]/, no need to regenerate.
- Remove Gambling/Alcohol Restrictions and Skip Language Selection at Start (preset to English) - place rna.ini in C:/[FIFA 15 installation folder]/ and use CG File Explorer to regenerate.

If you don't already have CG File Explorer, you can download it at https://www.mediafire.com/file/ylprjecf1si38wn/CG_File_Explorer_Setup.rar/file While it is labeled as being for FIFA 16, it works fine for FIFA 15 as well. All you need to do to regenerate is to open CG File Exploer 16, select your FIFA 15 directory, and then click Regenerate All. If you skip this step, FIFA 15 won't know where to look for the modded files we've placed above.

Enjoy!

Great work. Do you happen to have a version o that no intro patch and skip config launcher for 16 or even other FIFA games on PC?

It would seriously shave that long-winded boot time down for sure.

 

[Tibokan]

It's a bit easier to skip the Config Launcher in FIFA 16 - just add AUTO_LAUNCH =1 as a line of code to fifasetup/config.ini - This trick also works for all of the Frostbite FIFA games as well.

I do have a No Intro patch for FIFA 16 - I've attached to this post. Copy files to data/ui/nav and use CG File Explorer to regenerate. I don't know if there are any No Intro patches for the Frostbite FIFA games, modding for those is a lot harder and requires Frosty Mod Manager for stuff like this.

The cl.ini and rna.ini I shared for FIFA 15 above also work for FIFA 16 in the same way - however, EA patched out the full practice arena in FIFA 16, which means the practice arena will glitch out if you use the code UNLOCK_FULL_PRACTICE_ARENA = 1 that I've got in the cl.ini - therefore, if you intend to use the the cl.ini with FIFA 16, delete that line before copying over to your FIFA 16 folder.

For Frostbite FIFA games, if you copy over the code from both the cl.ini and rna.ini to your data/locale.ini (paste at the very bottom), you should be able to unlock the catalogue, and skip language selection. Full practice arena doesn't work for the Frostbite FIFA's either, so don't copy that practice arena code when you do this.

Weirdly and not your average "my best Fifa" but 15 is by far my best Fifa, the one ive played the most great ai who backs home when winning, throws everything up front when trailing.
Must get this on pc

 

[millossobek]

I remember that back in the day I played a complete season with West Ham United in EPL (inserting some classic players like Okocha, Nakata, Verón ) and I really enjoyed it. Picked it up again and I've really had a great time playing exhibitions! The dynamism and CPU attack is just great, playing with semi passing (45 pass error) it's my sweet spot! IMO, FIFA 15 is a really underrated title!

 

[MadbaLL]

much better game than fifa 14 pc.

too bad it is lacking mods.

 

[rockstrongo]

Right now after 20 played games with Burnley on my player career im in 19th place of the Premier league
Remember having very hard and tough seasons on this before as well.
A real challenge

 

[millossobek]

Ok, so I'm pretty much having a familiar problem with FIFA 15:

I'm finding World Class too hard and Professional too easy!

In the West Ham United save I mentioned above (which I played like 6 years ago), I was playing Professional and it seemed fair. But I guess after playing a lot of football games over the years, I am finding Professional not enough of a challenge anymore in this edition..

I started a Career with Sheffield Wednesday on World Class in the Third Division (Moved them from the Championship to League One, where I am the best team in the League), and I was getting dominated. Easily outshot 20 to 5. The CPU seemed really deadly, tough to dispossess and aggressive, too difficullt for me ATM.

Then I switched to Professional and just like that the tables turned. I started winning 4-0.. The CPU now played passive, getting off 2 shots a match, stuff like that.

So now I am in between. I know I could keep practicing on World Class and get better at FIFA 15, but it seems like the difficulty itself is a bit too "boosted" for my taste. In anycase, do you guys know of any gameplay mod that creates an in between, maybe make Professional harder or World Class a bit more manageable (If I may say so, I believe it has a bit of "script" or "momentum" in Career Mode IMO, leading two games 1-0 even after being outshot and got equalized in the last minute in both!)..

I'm really enjoying FIFA 15 and would love to have some kind of modification. Where it stands ATM, it seems to me like FIFA 15's World Class is more difficult than FIFA 16's Legendary, at least from my experience!

 

[millossobek]

Answering my own question here..

I think I might've found a possible solution! Posted by a user named "fideco" in Operation Sports a long time ago!

Here it is: https://forums.operationsports.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2047741781&postcount=6

Basically he boosted the CPU sliders on Professional to make it harder! I'm gonna give this a try.

 

[rockstrongo]

Im playing with these sliders
https://forums.operationsports.com/...ders/783272-fifa-15-os-community-sliders.html (20 pass sliders)
Made a few changes, 30 pass speed for me. 75 First touch error for me.
and if too tough sprint speed and acceleration equal to both you and cpu.
world class 15 min
ive had very tough games on these, but rarely felt cheated

 

[millossobek]

@rockstrongo What difficulty are you playing bro?

 

[rockstrongo]

@rockstrongo What difficulty are you playing bro?

world class semi pass semi shooting and tele broadcast
these sliders are tough as hell on broadcast cam, but really good on tele broadcast

 

[millossobek]

That's my gripe with broadcast cam in FIFA, too angled for semi passing, which I also love!

Tele broadcast is the ticket for this setting, IMO.

 

[rockstrongo]

I've mentioned this before, but really needs to be mentioned again.
Being 2-1 up Vs Newcastle away in the 75th minute and onwards they pushed everything forward, only having their CB left , pushing so hard for a tying goal.
They managed to pull it of after 10 min of insane bombardment
After that ,they switched back to a regular formation pleased with a draw

Don't really see this on any game after FIFA 15
Which makes the games very enjoyable, score a goal try to close it down then when the CPU goes for an equalizer, tons of space to counter

 

[millossobek]

Guys, I'd like to find a FIFA 15 patch (preferrably original season) which includes Brasileirao. I installed moddingway AIO and it didn't include it..

Does anyone know of a good patch with this league? Thanks in advance.

I haven’t come across any for original season, but some of the later/alternate versions of Moddingway for FIFA 15 have other seasons of the Brasileirao included. Here’s a link to one for the 2017 season - https://www.balkanpesbox.com/forum/topic/3200-fifa-15-moddingway-mod-v-1000/

 

[rockstrongo]

Cant really stress how much ive enjoyed this game on OS slider (some modifications) really a brilliant game despite some fifa twitchiness.
Always been one of my favourites

 

[rockstrongo]

Just having some fun, being 1-0 down to Newcastle then winning 3-1 in the FA Cup qtr finals

Just got this, I usually try out default sliders and even though it played good it was a bit too fast for me. Gonna give OS sliders a go.
Really enjoying 14-15-16

ive just adjusted a few things, still a discrepancy in speed/acceleration vs the cpu but i think i have it 48/49 speed and 48/49 acc and ive raised pass speed to 40 for me, but the base is there on OS slow pass speed sliders for sure
It really plays good
Yes those are really solid games

Hey bro, I followed all the directions (extract files, copy all files to FIFA folder, run moddingway installer as admin, run moddingway selector as admin), and still no Brasileirao to be found., either on exhibition or career mode. This also happened when I tried installing 18.0.0 AIO, a more recent version. Was wondering if perhaps this happened to you too. Thanks.

There is a database selector (FIFA 15 MWM Selector.exe) that is installed by the patch that you need to use to select and apply the appropriate modded Moddingway database - if you don't do this, you end up with the default EA database, even with the Moddingway patch otherwise installed correctly. You also need to reset the squads once in game, and create a new squads file.

In saying that, there are some variations between the versions of the patches that are easy to miss - so I've put together a quick guide to the Moddingway patches for you and others to use.

In doing this, I even found working links to the original season (which includes the Brasileirao)!

The following three seasons have the Brasileirao:
Original, FIFA 15 Season (14/15) - 2.40 All-In-One, Apply Database 6.0 - https://www.mediafire.com/folder/sgh8rac65l74c/Moddingway_Fifa15_2.4_AIO_UploadBy_colorzpe@moddingway
FIFA 16 Season (15/16) - 4.51 All-In-One, Apply Database 8.0 - https://www.mediafire.com/folder/v21z20z7or1ah/FI-XV-4.5.1-AIO-Season1516
FIFA 17 Season (16/17) - 7.00 All-In-One, Apply Database 10.0 - https://www.mediafire.com/folder/3xdkrqg66rwva/FI-XV-MWM700AIO

No Brasileirao (for whatever reason, the Moddingway crew didn't include it in this version).
FIFA 18 Season (17/18) - 18.00 All-In-One, Apply Database 12.0 - https://www.mediafire.com/folder/dcsmoxd66z40v/
FIFA 18 + World Cup 2018 - Install 18.00 All-In-One, Install 19.00 Update https://www.mediafire.com/file/45r2o725n22ulel/FI-XV-MWM1900.rar , Install 20.00 Update https://www.mediafire.com/file/8xa5e87p8q5u2e8/FI-XV-MWM2000.rar/file , Apply World Cup Database

Enjoy!

@Tibokan Hey bro, I reinstalled everything and applied the FIFA 17 season for FIFA 15 Moddingway patch (7.00 AIO, ran the installer as admin, then applied Database 10.0 using the moddingway selector), and I'm still not getting Brasileirao.. I wonder what the issue could be? I appreciate your help..

I can tell by Cercle Brugge being in your screenshot that you’ve still got the default squads running (Cercle Brugge was in the Jupiter Pro for 14/15 and was relegated that year, not to return for a few seasons until 18/19). Delete your FIFA 15 folder in Documents, rerun game, reset squads in game to default, create new Squads file. Should solve it.

 

[millossobek]

I will send you some screens..

1. FIFA 15 Folder deleted


2. Start the game. Reset all Squads


3, Reapply database


4. Still no Brasileirao, and Cercle Brugge is in there (Strangely enough, the K-League is re-named China Super League after running the selector)


Am I missing any steps?

Not sure what's going wrong for you - I just did a test with 240AIO for the Original Season, and with 700AIO for the 16/17 Season. Both are working fine on my end (see screenshots showing my favourite Brasileirao team, Palmeiras, in both versions showing up correctly).

Steps I followed:
1. Download fresh FIFA 15 folder via EA App
2. Copy in AIO files into FIFA 15 folder
3. Run Moddingway Installer
4. Apply Database
5. Play Game

Do you have the full, purchased version of the game? If not, then the only guess I have is that the Moddingway mods do not work with the cracked version that is available, for whatever reason (perhaps the Moddingway mods require the fully updated version of the game to work correctly).
