Re: FIFA 15 Early Access Available Now Through EA Access with a 6 Hour Limit

Can someone please check if they corrected the USA colors and if they have red shorts on the away uniforms? Thank you

I haven't played it yet. But I think I remember reading an article saying that jerseys for most national teams were changed. I am trying to read the article but my internet is sucking.

Is the overall feel of the game better than the demo?

Much better than the demo (I did not care for the demo much at all, AI teammate defending was putrid).

I needed to increase pass speed to 54 for both HUM & CPU. I also bumped HUM speed to 52 because I just feel even on Pro the CPU has a speed advantage....this could change as I get more experience.

I played Fener (me) vs Gala. I ended up winning 2-1 on this howler of a goal that Muslera gave up. Pro, 6 min, normal speed.

Both teams pass% was sub 80 (71% me, 76% Gala). Gala attacked me well, getting 7 shots off (only 1 on target) and winning 55% of the possession. 5 total fouls, 4 corners.

I still feel like the RS feints are impossible to pull off. I hate the skill stick. It's not even worth using in most cases. I used a combination of LB & LT to shield the ball. I feel shielding is better/more responsive than the demo.

The jockey (LT) on defense also seems more responsive. I can kind of shade the dribbler a direction and use RB to some good effect to apply additional pressure.

Physics are still a bit wonky, balls kind of fly oddly on the rare occasion. Players also spinning in the air, flying, falling all over the place. I wish the physics system was toned down a bit, it's odd seeing players off the ball flying all over the place.


Other random thoughts:
-Dier is a slug in this game, slower than slow
-Bentaleb is rated like 67ovr eeek. Kid started for Algeria as a 19 y/o & played wonderfully
-meanwhile Saldado is 81ovr~so get outta here Donny McMoore
-still cant edit player traits or weak foot/skill moves or assign specific positions
-and my Spurs standard default 4-2-3-1 is listed as 4-5-1, not sure what moron decided that
-You can finally edit kit fit type, so you can assign tech fit to anyone.
-Catalog items are much cheaper, boot/ball combos are like 600fcc, boots alone are 350, I think a ball was 250
-Still can't "save" a slider set. This is 2014, in what game would you expect not to be able to save settings files?
-Downloaded the "latest" squad update, Fazio is on Spurs. Davies is on Spurs. Dier is on Spurs. Stambouli is on Spurs. For some odd reason Sandro is also on Spurs. Come on Donny McMoore.

Although my time has been brief, I can already see the keepers are still somewhat wonky, but, but, but, Access builds do not include the day 1 patch so there is still hope.

Yep, I remember seeing on twitter that they were messing with the code for the keepers for the day 1 patch.

Can you have any language you choose or it is only regional?

All languages are there. But again, they will get stripped down to regional only for the retail release.

Absolutely loving it.

It has been a long, long time since I have craved to play a sports game like this...maybe Virtua Tennis on the Dreamcast.

Got EA Access (and will probably cancel it after this month) just so I could play this game early, haha. Can't wait! Installing now!

The Bomb Pop jerseys are finally correct. Red shorts are in the game!

I do not have access, but I watched around an hour of streams from a few playing Pro Leagues and also noticed more fouls in that mode as well. If this holds up, I am going to be stoked. Anyone else noticing a decent amount of fouls this year? How about the CPU aggression on offense?

I noticed this as well on the demo ... The clock also keeps running during substitutions, corner kicks, etc. For me, after having some time with the demo (and the impressions I've been reading thus far here, its a 'no-brainer', first day purchase!

Thanks for sharing your impressions my friend ... I had the same feeling as you when I played the demo. I thought the AI of my teammates was absolutely ridiculous on defense ... BUT then I discovered the 'individual instruction' that can be assigned to each player on the pitch. This absolutely changed the game for me! I was amazed that I could hold the CPU to as low as a 65% pass accuracy. Yep ... 65% for the CPU (PSG) vs. Chelsea (me). Then I held Manchester City to 72% pass accuracy (I was Chelsea). Note that I also changed my team's (Chelsea) tactic to possession. I may be the minority, but I absolutely LOVE the defensive battles that I'm getting. My one tip is that when your defending, you need to really pick your spots on when to contain, cut off passing lanes by giving some room, trying to predict the CPU's passing, and what has been awesome to see is that if you really time your slide tackles the ball doesn't 'magically' get to the CPU's feet or an instant carding/warning by the ref. It is really a live ball!

I also feel that on Pro level, the players on the pitch reflect their ratings.

Playing with Barcelona feels absolutely different than playing with Chelsea. Playing that tiki-taka style is much easier obviously w/ Barca, than trying to pull that off with Chelsea. And when I've been playing the CPU, I feel threatened when Ibrahimovic, Messi, Neymar, etc are getting in attack mode or in a one-on-one situation against me.

And not to mention, FOULS! I see a good bit of them for both sides. Yellows, reds, & warnings...Its awesome!

As you can see, this iteration of Fifa is a definite, 'no-brainer' for me ...

-Still can't "save" a slider set. This is 2014, in what game would you expect not to be able to save settings files?

This is a bit disconcerting and hopefully EA can address before release w/ a patch! I never had this issue with FIFA 14 on ps4.
