Ugh...this game plays "on rails" worse than ever! It's nauseating that EA continues year after year, DECADE after decade developing the same freaking game.

Someone please explain why: when I'm running clearly in a distinct direction towards a loose ball, why my player would magically run the other direction...away from the ball?! Totally unprovoked by me as I don't change the direction of the thumbstick.

It's a true shame because it would be a pleasure to play and look. But it's worse than ever and just complete junk.

Hmm, that´s strange because I don´t remember seeing that in my matches, or at least I haven´t noticed it yet. Might be something about the assitance setings?

Yea idk. I haven't changed any settings and only played 2 games online seasons. It's an issue that's always plagued this series. When the computer already determines you will not get the ball, even though you're in position. ..it'll divert you just enough at the end to make sure you don't get the ball. Even though the entire time you're player clearly would and should have gotten there first

Apart from the bugs and obvious issues is there anyone else who would consider the player models and animations (especially noticeable on close-ups) a weakness of FIFA? Think they really need some work for future versions of the game..

I've played way too many hours of Fifa over the years manager mode and Ultimate Team, and this year is no different.

This is a pretty good game almost great. The presentation is improved and animations improvement alone makes this a better game than past fifas. The general atmosphere adds to the gameplay in my opinion and so this makes the game great.

The added tactics makes this game good, when I go all out attack I feel like there's a noticeable change in my team pushing forward much better than in past, and in the same sense when the cpu does it I feel good when there's an open space leading to a breakaway goal which we see happen in real life. This is good almost great .

Overall I'm addicted to the game, I love playing it but here are things where the game is bad bordering very bad.

First is cpu ai of teammates this year I think is a downgrade from even last year. They're useless and a liability and the player switch makes this a bigger issue. The teammates make stupid runs or non existent runs and on defense they'll turn and run the other direction of an attacking player for no rhyme or reason. On offense crosses or corners it infuriates me to see 2 or 3 of my midfielders charging into the box on a clearance. An example is this morning my CAM has a headed ball coming down right at his feet right outside the box and instead of trapping it he ridiculously sprints into the penalty area not even aware of the ball. What makes matters worse is my left midfielder is doing the same. It's that senseless stuff that makes this game borderline horrible.

Despite what people claim, The game is scripted. After scoring a goal the ball is going to bounce to opponents feet, they'll move like mess I, pass like iniesta and my coy teammates are going to pile in box and get stuck in mud. The only way to stop the next two possessions after scoring is to pray they miss the goal or the keeper makes an amazing stop.

Which leads to goals in 43-45 and 88-90 minute periods. Face it , it will happen whether it's you scoring or coy scoring to tie or take the lead. At least it's somewhat fair in that regard but it's cheap and bad.

The last thing that plays a part in cheap comeback goals is that your keeper will parry an easy shot right in front of the goal and your defender will watch an opposing player run past them for easy goal.

Physics are improved, I think. I say I think because the ball bouncies more realistically if you pay no attention to fifty fifty balls bouncing to a cpu opponent more often than not. On top of this I feel cheated when the cpu is sprinting three men and practically run through someone like sissoko like he's 140 pounds meanwhile there seems to be a force field around the same 140 lb player that almost freezes my guy to a stop.

So in short my impression is that I'm pot committed to fifa and love player and think the game overall is good or else I wouldn't play as much as I have; however, they're about one more year of not fixing these horrible aspects of gameplay from me walking away because it's absolutely mind boggling that these stupid acts have happened the past three years and nothing is done to at least make them somewhat tolerable or less frequent.

So I just bought this game yesterday(PS4)and I have yet to be able to get a game in because of the game constantly stuttering. Anybody else have this issue because I couldn't do anything including changing the settings with the game lagging/stuttering on me?

One thing I forgot that is a huge plus this year is penalties are now called And cpu will commit fouls.

you have to disable a pcnp (or something similar) in your PS4 settings.

That would be the patch.

My beef is with the goalkeeper's getting off easy, the amount of times i hit a post and it neatly falls to the goalkeeper's hands

Re: FIFA 15 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (PS4, XB1)

Is there a way to just stop your player from doing whatever he's doing?

Like, when a ball is clearly going out of bounds, but your guy is "stuck" running after it, you try to turn him away but he's locked on going for the ball, only to get there juuuuust in time to tap it as it's going out of bounds?

It'd be nice if there was a button that would just cancel that run, maybe there is and I've just never known about it. Always frustrating when that happens, though.

Negative. It's the same thing I referred to earlier. This game plays as if your player is "on rails " and it's incredibly frustrating to say the least.

I hate being a total noob but how do you edit players in career mode? The feature is locked everytime i scroll through it in the menus.

The ability to edit a player needs to be unlocked via purchase (using credits you accumulate, not with real money). I cannot remember the exact details, but I do remember buying that ability before being able to edit players.
