Any tips on who I should be in career mode? Thinking either Bundesliga 2 or Championship.
Definitely going with a Russian League side for FUT.

Just noticed the PC version releases 22nd on the Mexican store. Will it be possible to play in the UK with VPN or something along those lines? I'm sure I remember doing something similar with last years PC version.

I call them tournaments but did actually mean leagues and you can add from 4 to up to 20 teams in custom leagues or choose a full pre set league like the EPL, La Liga ect.
Playing it against humans last night was a bit weird. If your playing against the CPU my comments about the demo still stand for the full game.
Its really really hard to defend against humans and the backline seemed very open to over the top and normal through balls.
There were quite a lot of times were a player would turn in to an opposing player and get dispossessed again leaving them wide open and in the end i was getting frustrated by my players not being able to tackle.
Tbh most of the faults were all down to us not defending properly and not being well versed on how you can use tight control and stuff. I think i just need to get used to it all before i give a proper impression on the multiplayer side and definatley need to learn how to contain players because holding the "contain button" doesn't work that well for me because even with running opposing players can get past them if you just hold that.
I need help on the defending side

I was wondering the same.Should I stay at England or go for a different country?
If I stay,should I go with rovers again (to see how they changed from 14 to 15 & coz I like some players there) or an EPL side and the beauty of having your own stadium (leicester city may be ).

On another note the animations in this are superb.
Got a couple of penalty's including shirt pulling which looked great (Walcott went down like a sack of shit which looked like he played for it) and the collision detection on tackles and fouls look amazing so you can make some right meaty challenges.

@Coopz from my experience with the demo, I find that turning analog sprint off helped me on defensive side.

On FIFA 14 I started in AFC Wimbledon and by 2018 I endedup at Arsenal. Thing is, the English football system is way above the rest as every team has equal chances to get heroically promoted and even enjoy success in European cups (In that same CM I took Burnley to UEL QF).
I've witnessed that too..Hope it's just related with f..ing poor EA servers..

Cheers mate ill turn it off and give it a go
I am mate yeah
Walcotts was similar to that, like they are waiting for a touch so they can go down
Got another nice looking peno as well when Costa held the ball up back to goal and a defender was holding him off but then tried to get the ball and kicked his heel. The way he went down was very realistic albeit theatrical throwing himself down both legs going up landing on his arse

Only reason I tend not to go in England is because I'm familiar with the players so it ruins the illusion somewhat if someone doesn't play like how they should.
But the stadium factor is tempting, looks very immersive with all the different chants etc. I might be QPR.
Yeah only problem is I don't think I could endure more then a season or so in career mode. AI is just too predictable unfortunately.

Just to confirm, you can play a single season of any league without having to go into career mode?

How is this not the opinion of the majority?
I was beginning to think I was the only one who'd noticed this.
As I've said on Twitter, I'd implore people to trade in FIFA 14, buy early access, try FIFA 15 online and realise it's the same game as 14 with worse defending controls (and the defending was bad enough last year). That way you get FIFA 14 free thanks to EA Access and you save yourself the cost of FIFA 15.
But clearly not everyone agrees... How?
I've not enjoyed one second of the demo. Stadiums and lighting aside. Even the biggest presentation improvements I think make it worse - for example, when players argue after a tackle or two, the crowd is deathly silent all the while. Then, 4-5 seconds later when a card comes out, they suddenly all cheer at once. It just sounds WEIRD!
The defending is my biggest gripe by far though. There's no art to it - clearly dribbling and goals are all EA care about (because that's what sells football in all its forms). In the PES 2015 demo I've seen five goals in my last five games. In FIFA 15 early access, my last five games have had five goals (or more) EACH.
You notice no gameplay improvements WHATSOEVER online, where constant pressure and through balls are the order of the day, but with the defending being more difficult (as in, you have less control over it, not as in you have to learn anything new). Thanks to this, the scorelines are even heavier than last year, where I had huge scorelines every game, and the flow does not represent football in any respect.
EDIT: Well after the Leicester v Man U game maybe I can't moan about the scorelines...
But United and FIFA both have the same philosophy - all you need is an attacking game. And they're both wrong. Every game on the new FIFA plays out like that one. There are no bore draws. Everyone plays the same way. Because it's the only way to win.I'm just shell-shocked that people are lapping this up, and saying "it's better in the early access version, the demo code is old code" when to be truthful I didn't even notice the defending issue in the demo (because I wasn't playing online which accentuates it tenfold), and I keep thinking "clearly it's me being too cynical", but the more I try to see what people like about it, the more my blood boils over what I hate about it.
I enjoyed the PES 2015 demo but don't feel I can rest until November (I have an awful feeling about the online play given, you know, every PES to date and its horrible online play).
Just gutted, personally. It's FIFA 14 or PES 2015 for me. Definitely not this.

Worrying perspective that.
For me there had to be a change to defending. The constant pressure in FIFA 14 was aggravating, and they needed to ensure doing so would leave you exposed.
I found the balance/difficulty against the CPU fine. But yeah always had at the back of my mind it would become imbalanced online, especially with the advantage given to pace and dribbling again.
I'm hoping that it just takes a few days of adapting before competently being able to defend. From what I remember of the demo it was all about doing less rather than more. As long as you covered and anticipated the danger areas, you were more or less fine.
---------------------------------
On a side note - would it be possible to purchase the game through the US PSN store on Tuesday when it's released? Is there any restriction or legal issue with doing this.

Yes and cups like the FA cup, Capital One cup , Johnson's Paint trophy and each country's equivalent
Just been looking at the match day live part. It tells you all the news from your favourite teams league and your teams next game and form plus the league and top scorers. Quite a nice feature.
