I picked up FIFA15 today because I couldn't wait another month for PES2015. (PES2015 demo is really refreshing!)

In FIFA, it's so easy for me to bring the ball to opponent's final third. CPU does the same thing and race themselves in order to by pass midfield. Nothing really happens in between. It's really frustrating that this is the same FIFA from 3 years ago.

I think FIFA developers were sitting at the top comfortably for too long and completely ignored game play improvements. God I really hope PES does well this year and give a good competition. (It will only make FIFA a better game I truly believe)

I'm going to check out Manager mode until NBA2k15 comes out and trade it in.

I'm disappointed.

The speed of FIFA '15 is really bothering me. It just feels like Hamster Dash 15. "Slow" should mean "Slow" and it simply doesn't. Classic overcorrection from EA Sports since FIFA 14 was deemed too slow by some.

Sliders might help, but I doubt it. If you hammer the sliders, then you create issues with Fatigue disappearing.

I like a lot of things about 15, but there's so little buildup play. I may just play NBA 2K15 this year.

When you say speed, are you referring to the movement of the players, or the pace of play (i.e. lack of buildup, mostly counter-attack)?

'Cause I actually don't mind the movement speed of players (though I would prefer something in-between FIFA and PES), but the lack of buildup, and general pace of play in terms of type of football being played, is a huge issue for me. Not that I don't like exciting matches, I just like realistic variety.

The arena is pretty much useless to me without the side camera that is used in the game. That's why I want to be able to do a practice match so badly

Im just happy that fouls are being called now. Especially for the cpu ai, this is the first time ive seen a fifa game where the cpu got 5 fouls and 3 cards. And the crowd, amazing!

Really enjoying it. In some ways they've been able to take out the arcadeness of the title and yet still make it online capable.(by that i mean co op styled). The BPL presentation is so good that you yearn for it in the bundesliga, the la liga and other leagues for sure. playing with real madris vs barca isnt as mazing as laying with totenham vs swansea city even say.

Is this there some sort of typed word limit on posts?

Once again I typed up a detailed reasoning behind why there is no buildup play in the game and the thread reply froze. This is on iPad. I lost all of it. This is annoying.

I digress...

Short version, buildup up play by the CPU is absent because the CPU still won't make risky passes and the man marking is too tight in the midfield so the CPU doesn't think anyone is open so they just go on silly dribble runs.

The fix but not solution would be to loosen human marking (but only in midfield) which is impossible.

But the real solution is in the coding. IRL football the player receiving the pass will run back towards his own goal to collect it while looking for pass targets in his periphery. This is totally missing from fifa. So all they need to do is code passing targets to make runs back towards their own goal much more often. It's this going forward while incrementally going backwards that is missing from the build up play.

Continuing the previous post.

You can see the player run logic built into your trigger player run button (LB) doing the same thing. 95% of the time the player runs forward only. I swear this button made the players run to space in like fifa 11 or 12 and not just forward.

The fact is, space, often, is backwards of your player location.

Strangely enough though, on lower difficulties I see my cpu controlled teammates make better diagonal runs and hook runs while signaling their intent with hand signals. These still are all forward minded runs.

I don't think ea could patch it so that their cpu players came back towards passes in midfield but that would be the simple answer to creating more buildup play and less frenetic ping pong race up the field/or ludicrous dribble run cpu gameplay.

I am just saying across the board in this game nobody ever seems to come back to the ball that frequently.

A staple of the game.

I love how if you give up a free kick and the end result is a goal the camera then zooms in on the player who committed the initial foul. Pretty much singling them out and blaming him for the whole thing.

I'd say the reason for that is the CPU never holds up the play.

It is just a constant string to runs, spins, jukes and passes. It never just stops to survey the field, the way I do. Or real players do.

So even 'slow' results in a very frantic game at times!!

So is the linesman going to do that smirk (when he moves half of his lip) every single time they show him? Only the first time I thought that it was a nice touch to have facial expressions, but every single time???? It's exaggerated and already annoying.

I don't understand at all when people claim that FIFA is "too fast". Watch a proper game of footy, especially in the prem. While they don't constantly sprint like players in FIFA do, they certainly have the ability to play fast paced, end-to-end football like FIFA displays.

The issue isn't the "speed" of the game, you should be able to sprint 60 meters very quickly on the counter attack. The issue is that players simply sprint too often in FIFA. They need to slow down the amount of sprinting, not the peak speed at which players can run.

I actually think on NORMAL speed FIFA replicates the top end threshold of speed extremely well, I just wish the CPU specifically would take more time in building attacks in 70% of their possessions, and the remaining 30% built like the present day "run for your life" counter type attacks.
