FIFA 15 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (PS4, XB1)

[fearwhatnow]

After playing many games on Professional difficulty it's safe to say that in this level is very easy to exploit the cpu defense by changing directions or running towards them with most of your midfield players. That's not really good because World Class needs heavy tweaking as the cpu feels cheap especially in the offensive end. Right now Professional feels broken because cpu defensive players "forget" to support or cover. Unfortunately is the ideal difficulty to play on this year.
Fortunately pc users can download a cl.ini and all these problems are addressed. Console owners though are left with a "broken" difficulty level until EA drops a patch that will increase significally cpu D awareness.

No question: this is a great football game, the best I’ve ever played! The positives have already been mentioned over and over in this thread, so I won’t repeat them in detail. It’s not perfect, but it’s getting closer this year. The gameplay has improved, the AI has improved (though it’s still bugging me sometimes, but it’s much better than last year), the presentation is awesome – at least when playing EPL. Playing something else than EPL, the presentation unfortunately feels “empty”. I’ve played some Bundesliga matches and the English commentary does not mention any team or player names. It does not give me injury or score updates even if I have requested them. Is that a bug or is that intentionally left out? I seem to recall that in FIFA14 the English commentators did at least say the teams names…

There’s some other really small things that would be nice to have. Nothing crucial, but they have been there in the previous FIFA games and I am curious whether I am just missing them. Would be nice if somebody could help me out if I am just missing something:

1. If one of my players gets injured, I can’t seem to find out what injury he has. In FIFA14 I could see the injury in one of the menus and decide whether to sub him or not. Am I missing something?
2. Is there no option anymore to assign a defender to a certain opponent for man-marking him?
3. Is it not possible to save replays any more?

Thanks for your replies…

(BTW, playing on PC)

The practice arena is there, but not the practice mode. Where you can practice a match or set pieces.

Awesome. Thanks guys. I guess I've just never seen the bottom of the net bounce around like that while watching. I'll look at the tension settings, or just force myself to get used to it when playing in the lower stadiums.

EA needs to extend the replay length. It's cool you can go way back but going forward it cuts off/ends during the goal celebration.

Last night Nani scored a sweet one and ran over, paused, then launched into a nicely animated back flip.

I went in to replay to slow it down and enjoy the animation but it stops "recording" the replay right before he leaps.

I started checking the replay after I scored the next few goals and it cuts them all off too soon. Just guessing the timing, but it's like ball goes in net, player realizes and starts to celebrate then you get about 4 more seconds of the run out in the replay. It needs to be more like 7-8 seconds post goal to show the full celebration.

I have seen a couple 7-9 men celebrations in real game time, but because of the cutoff, you can't see them in replays either. Xbox one.

This is something I will never understand.

EA gives us this visually stunning game with lots of cool things happening all over the pitch/stands yet they handcuff us with a horrid replay system.

Like you said, replays cut off the celebrations. There is no true "free" cam that allows you to browse the pitch and stands, and there is no system to take snapshots/save replays/upload highlights. NCAA football series had this core functionality 4 years ago.

Still having a blast with this game. I went to 4-0-0 in my Spurs season this AM. I am seeing a much more open game with less predictability. I think this is due to a lot of the assists being turned off, gone are the days where the ball has some kind of tractor beam on it. All of my games have been one goal games, with a pen bailing me out against QPR. I am going to post two links of a couple Kyle Walker goals. One was a shot from outside the box, the second a freekick where the goal line technology replay was used. Thought you guys might like to see these.
