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

[Moses Shuttlesworth]

Question for anyone on the PS4:

I just got the game and when I started it up I was able to adjust the screen size in accordance with my TV.

I realize now that I adjusted it too much and I need to zoom out. How do I get to that screen again? I tried deleting the FIFA app installed on the HDD, then I reinstalled, updated again, but it did not reappear.

What service are you talking about and what do you mean by free? I cant even play an OFFline game. Not even an exhibition. Its like the game stutters so bad, at times it freezes for 2-4 seconds then the ball goes flying. Same thing with the menus. I'm not talking about online play. I'm talking about literally putting the game in, firing it up and playing OFFline.

Only problem is that Eden isn't running in a straight line. He then stops for a second before resuming the chase. Even the RB (Seamus Coleman) watches the run and gets beat for pace. This is on World Class - Full Manual - Orion's sliders btw While making the run I was thinking "what the hell are they doing" before going into the replay and watching the horrible AI in slow motion. I usually don't go back and dissect replays but this one jumped out at me immediately.

Wow, that was too easy. I'll keep last year's FIFA and wait to purchase this year's version unless and until a patch fixes this.

I understand people have said make changes in your router settings but I'm on google fiber and I can only mess with it so far. In addition, Im playing OFFLINE. I shouldnt have to mess with my ISP and Router to get EA's game to work for me. Hope this gets fixed soon, it's really sad on EA's part.

there's a setting on your PS4 about needing to disable pnp or something like that. Google the issue and once you disable it you're good to go. I read about it on an english football forum.

maybe the original post was on the fifa15 ea forum too?

anyway try that

I've seen enough of my defenders running into eachother to give the Ai the ball, and certainly seen enough of my players bobbling it conveniently right into the AI's possession time and time again. This game has become so predictable now. Classic EA. I'll be giving PES a serious look this year. This game is a few tweaks and a serious patch away from being mind-blowing, but somehow I think EA will mess it up sadly.

yeah PES demo plays pretty solid. Does some things excellently and drops the ball with others ... just like fifa.

the ultimate would be to morph PES defensive & passing engine and AI into fifa 15 graphics, licensing and attacking.

then you'd have some kind of game.

This still happens on legendary but to a lesser degree. I have had great runs with players like Bale stopped.

It still happens, but it also happens in real life so I just take it as is. However, it stills needs to be tweaked and tuned.

I'm not too sure a patch will fix it unfortunately. I think EA needs to go back to the drawing board and redo the defense and make defense a priority for FIFA 16.

However, we've been talking about defense in FIFA for a while now and it's obvious EA doesn't find defense too sexy or important to work on.
