FIFA 15 News & Discussion Thread

This is excellent on PC. I really don’t know why it’s “skipped” between 14 and 16. Beautiful graphics. Very good gameplay. Excellent ball physics.

I suspect (and will provide no evidence to support) that FIFA 14 PC was an afterthought because the Ignite Engine wasn’t yet ready for PC. And once FIFA 16 came around, their best team was put on the monumental task of somehow making the game work with Frostbite for 17 (an incredible achievement in its own right), so 16 was pushed out with the least effort, meaning 15 was truly the last hurrah for FIFA until the free fall we’ve witnessed today.

What I find best about FIFA 15—compared to all other FIFA, PES, and similar football games—is that, from the trailer right through to the actual gameplay, there is a genuine football atmosphere that remains unmatched. Whether it’s cup matches played in the rain or the human element in the gameplay—such as the occasional blunder—the players, while perhaps not the most visually polished, feel the most human, flaws and all.
The user interface is also perfectly in tune; it truly breathes football. Ultimately, the gameplay is designed with one goal in mind: to ensure you simply have fun. True Football Immersion.
