The hardcore sim crowd have a much easier time with that end of it, because when there is an issue, it's easy to see and record. I am enjoying the hell out of FIFA 15, it's the best FIFA I've ever played. Would I like a totally sim soccer game? You bet I would, in a heartbeat. But that's just not what this game is. I buy this game to have fun. Disclaimer: I respect the hell out of you hardcore sim guys, because you are the ones breaking your backs with sliders, etc. Makes it easy for me to swoop in and play with Orion or Matt's sliders, which I do feel really improve the game. However, since you asked... I'll submit my video evidence. (I think I posted this vid earlier in this thread) This is in my Manager Mode with Spurs, we're up 1-0 late in the game against Chelsea, and Aaron Lennon scores in the 82nd minute to ice the game. The crowd goes nuts, and Lennon rocks back and pumps his fists while he's still on the ground after he's just scored, you can literally see the excitement and relief in his movements after he's scored the goal. And then the crowd starts in with "When the Spurs Go Marching In". It's moments like those that I think are immensely cool. The game has feeling, it has life. I can overlook some bad AI for stuff like that. Some folks just can't, and that's fine. It's all in what you're looking to get out of the game.

Oh there is no doubt that the game is fantastic on a visual/presentation level. That video showcases it very well. The crowd finally acts like a real crowd & players reaction emotionally.

Yeah, I think that's clearly true. It reminds me of how Blizzard were steadfast in their insistence on balancing gameplay for arena/PvP and raiding.

There really needs to be SIM / ARCADE mode in FIFA, but I doubt that will ever happen in our lifetimes.

It's annoying that PES presentation and atmosphere is so poor. Still, I'm going to check it out.

Okay, time for me to gripe:

I have noticed something really damn annoying in FIFA 15, again while defending. Instead of intercepting or deflecting or cutting off passes, the CPU has this $%#@ing uncanny tendency/ability to 5-hole my defenders! Like, I earn perfect position to narrow a ground pass opportunity for the CPU and, well, doesn't matter, because the ****ers just squirt the football right between my outstretched legs. I'm sorry, but that is not a common occurrence, and sure as hell shouldn't be happening several times a game.

Is the referee blows the whistle hands ? Because not me

Apparently referee don´t care about hand balls, despite the option on the menus.

I play on WC and have only the shooting and normal pass as assisted. I feel like playing against top team is always easier than playing against middle or lowest team.

also sometimes, I can't do anything, there is some momentum when I know the game will score and I know I can't do anything this is infuriating mostly when I'm winning 1-0 and the CPU score at 90"

I'm playing a career with Juventus FC and I play in 352
