The plan was to just use FIFA 14 from EA Access. That all changed with the demo as the difference is way too significant.

Pretty much the only EA game that doesn't throw up all over itself.

Can't wait for the whole package. I need some sort of sports game bad.

When you do nothing in the menu, Fifa 15 automatically repeats all the highlights of the game from different camera angles.

Very nice. I love it!

Please EA, do the same feature for Madden 15 and NHL 15. Please!

Best. Grass. Ever! the pitch degrades as you play, the grass moves as the ball rolls over it. Absolutely beautiful! Im getting use to the gameplay, I feel like it's more momentum, and Ive been overplaying the ball. What they've done with the graphics is just absolute craziness, CRISP!

wow great impressions so far. I still play PES6 hoping this fifa will actually make me switch, especially on PC.

One thing I've noticed and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention it, a couple of times now the keeper has seemed to go "brain dead" on a rebound and just stood there while the opponent latched on and scored. It looks awful, and is very worrisome. Hopefully this is fixed in the final version. If it happens again tomorrow I'll video it and post it.

I have seen it too, but mine was on a 1 on 1 and the ball almost hit the CPU goalie with him just standing still. I know that happens in real life, but usually the ball is too far away to make the play. Crazy thing is a bit later he made a diving stop on a shot that was going way wide of the post that he should have then stood and watched. Hopefully it is just a demo thing.

Besides that one moment, I have been impressed. Atmosphere is amazing, graphics, pitch, and animations are stunning. CPU AI even seems aggressive around the box minus a few needed passes. Just a lot more refined as a game over 14.

This excites me soooo much that people are enjoying this game. If the fouls really work, Ill be speechless

It still depends heavily on who the ref is. The first game I played was with a ref who had a strict/average rating and he called 3 fouls in the 8 minute game (which is good). The second one was with a ref who had a average/lenient rating and only one foul was called and there were 3 other plays where fouls shouldve been called.

EA needs to improve or even remove this ref rate feature. A foul is a foul in a football videogame. It's too difficult to simulate a really lenient English ref especially when your engine still needs a lot of refinement in the detection collision area. If you want to do this in a videogame just isolate the feature in the penalty area.

Considering the big deal they've made of the keepers I'm sure it'll be fixed come the release build(I'm guessing the demo build is at least a month old), so I'm not too worried, but otherwise, damn this game is good.

I dont have a big issue with it since there are ways to control who the ref is in all modes. It gives people variety. People like me who want a strict ref all the time can control it. People who want variety can get that too.

Dont know if this was the case last year but Premier League games have real refs. Mark Clattenburg was the ref in my Liverpool/Chelsea game and he is a real ref.

If they want to do it that way, they need to have the whole package. This means variable calls on offsides too like irl. This is a videogame. It's technology. Like the goal line technology that was implemented recently. As I said a foul is a foul no matter what. Offside too.

I dont quite understand that. In real life, a ref decides if the amount of contact is considered a foul. The ref has the discretion to make that decision. In the game, its the same thing. One ref's AI may look at the contact and say its a foul and another one may feel different. I agree about the variable offsides call though.

Exactly: The amount of contact. This engine is not capable of achieving this right now. It just chooses in random which "fouls" will not be called by the lenient ref.
