FIFA 15 News & Discussion Thread

honey moon over, sorry but same fifa for me.. just get stale after a few games... individuality lasts for a fleeting second most players feel the same bar a few different animations
 
with regards the EA early access, can you choose the one month option and still get early access to fifa 15? or do you have to subscribe for a full year?
 
No Costa Rica after the World Cup they just had? :( Loads of World Cup sides not there... Japan, Iran, Honduras, Algeria, Nigeria, Ghana and Bosnia are all absent and there's probably plenty more I haven't thought of. FIFA is more focussed on club football but this is still quite poor.
Agreed, national football has never been a priority which is ironic given the FIFA association. The cynic in me says EA can flog the tournament games to make extra cash off the back of international football.

EA are focused on EPL more than anything else. It's the most watched league in the world and having the affiliation is far more profitable. They are spending a pretty penny to secure exclusivity and is for good reason too.

Yeah I guess so... Lots of people who buy those tournament games may just stick to that year's FIFA if they had all the same teams.

Hopefully teams can be added (not just replaced) through modding on the PC to bulk out that aspect of the game. I would quite like to be able to play some internationals from time to time, even if it's just playing a fixture from the Euro qualifiers as they happen, or playing a World Cup/Euro tournament.

I remember FIFA 98 RTWC used to have pretty much every international side you could think of... Everything from the Maldives to Liechtenstein, as well as club sides (though no lower leagues).
 
Yeah, many of the players in those absent sides would be in the database through their club sides so it shouldn't be too much work to sort them out. Just the kits/emblems/tactics and a few players created that aren't in the game already.

It's just whether those sides can be added to the game rather than replacing original ones which would be the only stumbling block really. Well, that and not being able to use the teams online.
 
had a few games of the demo tonight.
Started tweaking with camera views and had 2 cracking games with City v Napoli & Chelsea. I won one and lost one.
 
I have the access version. The game is slower than the démo. Thé last transferts are not in the game : welbeck still in arsenal Falcao in Monaco. Goalkeepers are better : they didn't stay without moving when a stricker shoot.I love this game better than démo. 6h what a pity it's to short to appreciate this game!!!
 
played a couple of hours via ea early access. here's my random thoughts.
keepers are better/more reliable
Goal Kicks get past the half way line (demo's goal kicks fell short 99% of the time)
A.I. seem to vary their attack more/makes a few more mistakes
A.I. seem to get closer marking wise/quicker reactions
dribbling isn't quite as effective compared to the demo. it might be down to a slight decrease in players weight/momentum. not 100% sure though
shooting seems similar to the demo but didn't have enough shots to really tell
as the above poster said, transfers not completely up to date. deadline day transfers haven't been done

enjoyed it just as much as the demo but found it harder.
playing on xbox one, world class

iv also played the full game via ea access, have played it for one hour, have had similar experience as stated above, the full game plays so much better than the demo, individuality is alot more obvious, more variety in attack from the AI and the pace is slower and for me its perfect, very very impressed so far and if this maintains PES is in big trouble.

Was that on your Xbox One or PS4 Jimi?

EDIT: Did the shooting have much oomph? At least on the Xbox 360 demo, certain shots don't seem to have much acceleration.

it was on xbox one bud, being a dedicated pes fan all these years, this years fifa is making a serious statement, im not exaggerating about the indiviuality either, they have definately stepped it up this year, wasnt that strongly present in the demo.
As for the shooting, so far its inbetween an oomph and a floaty, BUT players that are known for a mule kick like gerard for instance, definately oomph there.
