FIFA 15 Demo Gameplay Impressions

Re: FIFA 15 Demo Gameplay Impressions

Nice one! I was *very* occasionally able to do this in FIFA '14, but yeah, exception to the rule territory.

By the way, I am 100% useless with dribbling, but how did you do the little dragback @ :14 in your video?

You can do it holding LT + RT too (L2 + R2 os Playstation)

Re: FIFA 15 Demo Gameplay Impressions

A couple of things I've noticed in the CPU behaviour.

When a CPU winger gets past my defender and enters my penalty area from the side (especially by the out line), the CPU always shoots - even if the angle is ridiculously tight and even when it is much smarter to cut back to a free man to slot it. That's kind of naff.

The CPU keepers are unbeatable from long range, especially when the shot is central. It's either that the shooting is design so that balls fly fairly centrally or the keeper is designed to always make some miraculous saves. I am yet to score from distance.

I also find it hard to score when one on one with the keeper.

The CPU is yet to score (or even come close to scoring) from a free kick.

Despite all this, I am enjoying the Demo immensely.

I've nailed a couple from long range, so it's definitely possible. Here's one that I scored with Glen Johnson.

Re: FIFA 15 Demo Gameplay Impressions

A few things I've noticed:

1. Played 5 games and had a grand total of 1 foul committed against me.
2. The AI seems to lack any sort of 'passing logic.' Not sure if that's because I was only on professional or something.
3. 99% of the time you make a slide tackle it goes straight back to the opposition!

Other than that it's generally good so far!

I've actually seen a good number of fouls. The computer will usually finish with at least 1 yellow per game, which is certainly an improvement from 14.

Try pushing the difficulty up to legendary. The computer has had some really nice passing moves against me.

I've noticed the possession slide tackles quite often actually. I'll retain possession of a slide quite often. Weird that I've seen the total opposite.

i agree with this 100%,i also noticed that when the difficulty is increased it actually drew more fouls against the CPU for me. i ended up with 3-4 fouls made against me in 3 games last night on WC, also the style of play is just much better ive found on higher difficulties.

A few tackles still go to the opposition but no where near as bad as in '14 where it would literally go 10 yards away to another opponent every single time, this years ive found so far to be few and far between.

I'm with you, I see a lot of them, I've even seen retalitory hard fouls by the CPU that the announcers picked up on as part of the "emotional intelligence" it was pretty amazing as the two fouls occured in different halves.

Re: FIFA 15 Demo Gameplay Impressions

Considering the AI will commit a foul in 1 out of every 100 FIFA 14 games, any kind of foul in the demo is good to see.

Re: FIFA 15 Demo Gameplay Impressions

Just going to take a moment to remind everybody that the fifa demos are generally wildly different from the release version. Not only that, but there are always multiple game play patches that will happen in the first few months.

If you compare the fifa 14 demo to fifa 14 release patched through December of last year, they are night and day two completely different games.

The fifa 14 demo last year got very similar reviews to the ones you all are giving this demo.

All I'm saying is wait until release to give this game your final review.

Re: FIFA 15 Demo Gameplay Impressions

Last night I had a very good game with 7 minute halves on World Class/Slow. I was Dortmund vs Napoli. Won 3-0 and held Napoli to just a few shots, I don't think they had more than 3. Had one curious moment where Reus was cutting through the defence and found himself open to take a shot but he pulled a muscle and couldn't continue the run. I recorded the whole game but the file is huge in HD, will try to upload overnight.

First part yes, demo to full changing a lot.

Second part no, at least no for NG. I think they put out one patch for NG 14 and it was just called stability improvements.

I liked the 14 demo, there seemed to be some player individuality (messi was dangerous) and the CPU attacked better in all difficulty levels chosen. Both of those changed drastically for the worse in the full game.

Re: FIFA 15 Demo Gameplay Impressions

I know very little about soccer. Only really pay attention when the World Cup is taking place and the U.S is playing, but my goodness this game is so addicting to me.

Granted, I don't know the ins and outs of soccer so there may be things that don't work properly, but since I'm ignorant to them anyways, I don't notice them, nor do they hamper my experience.

I've played this demo everyday since it dropped and each time, although its the same two teams, (and I lose every time) I find pure enjoyment in this game.

For the first time in I don't know how many years, I will be purchasing a FIFA game.

Well done.

Not sure if you intentionally play with the same two teams or if you aren't aware that if you finish the first intro game you can then go to play now and choose between 6 different teams. Just an FYI, if you knew already, carry on.

No I didn't know that! Thanks for the heads up!

Haha--put me in the same category. I don't know soccer well enough to know where the game may have deficiencies (which is a welcomed change from Madden/NCAA). All I know is I am now officially nuts about the EPL and learning more about other country's leagues and the Champions League which started yesterday.

I too can't wait for next week!
