    If this is your first Fifa game on the new gen consoles then you will be blown away by all the little details that together contribute to an overall experience not too dissimilar to watching football on live television. If you owned Fifa 14 on Xbox One or PS3, Fifa 15 is still a significant upgrade, though maybe not the revolutionary product that it was built up to be.

    EA have struck pure gold with Fifa 15, the series is back where it needs to be following the few setbacks of Fifa 14, and this year’s additions have taken it to a whole new level.

    FIFA 15 goes conservative this year, by introducing a small set of changes in the gameplay. It surely lacks some innovation, but you can breathe and taste football like you've never done before in a videogame.

    FIFA is always at its best when the pitch is tilted in the attacking side's favour, and this year's is a peach. It's not the 'true' next-gen FIFA we've been waiting for, but it's as dynamic and thrilling as any entry in the series thus far.

    FIFA 15 it’s a football experience clearly built for new generation platforms but it’s not without problems or sufficiently demarcated from previous games.

    We can hope that next season, EA Canada continues to iterate, and strikes a balance between footballing glamour and realizing the beauty and passion of mid-table obscurity, because all football fans deserve the chance to experience a real simulation of the game we love.

    FIFA 15 has gameplay problems, but it can also play some sublime football. However, single-player’s continued stagnation leaves a sour taste in the mouth. If goalkeepers can be addressed, EA will remain the football king.

    New features, like having fully-licensed Premier League grounds, is a huge improvement - and while the emotions of the players during gamesNew features, like having fully-licensed Premier League grounds, is a huge improvement - and while the emotions of the players during games doesn't feature as much as EA made out in the run-up to the release, your team does get second winds if you're chasing a game late on. The little aesthetic differences to the environment are impressive.

    Dribbling is important again, which is a relief. Time after time on FIFA 14 you'd get in to great positions to buy yourself a yard and whip a cross in, only to lose acceleration completely and lose the ball. But on FIFA 15 you can get yourself that yard, you can leave defenders for dead and you can score solo goals again. The arcade feeling has returned, surrounded by this hi-tech universe EA have invented.

    The speed of the game is a little unrealistic - but at the end of the day, this is a football game and not a football match. But what good is all of that when FIFA 15 presents its problems before you work out its treasures?

    In the end, FIFA hasn't really been the same since they introduced Tactical Defending. I'm not saying that was the root cause of what we're playing now, but it gave EA the temptation to bite off more than they could chew with regards to altering aspects of the game completely when they only needed little tweaks.

    And the Next Gen goalkeepers are yet more evidence of this. What good are the fantastic new tactical choices of All Out Attack and Park the Bus if they don't lead to goals because there's a superhero stood in front of goal? I've played around 10-15 games on this and I'm certain the goalkeeper has been the highest rated player in every single one of them.

    It takes me 20 shots on target on professional - PROFESSIONAL - to score 2 goals. I'd bump it up to World Class like usual but I know I'd be on the end of 4-0/5-0 scorelines because the defending from the team I'm controlling is so loose. Pace and trickery can slice open my defence with ease, and my goalkeeper pales in comparison to the one stood at the opposite end. Why?

    I've given this a 7 for now because my problems will all be sorted by November when the first patch comes out - but I'm annoyed at EA for releasing a game in this condition. It still feels like a demo because of the amount of improvement work that needs to take place and I'm currently battering Everton 3-0 with West Brom because I know I'll be on the end of a cricket score if I bump it up to World Class.

    I await the patch.

    Check the critic reviews vs the user scores and you know enough. The goalkeepers are a joke. Seeing Courtois letting the ball pass throughCheck the critic reviews vs the user scores and you know enough. The goalkeepers are a joke. Seeing Courtois letting the ball pass through it's legs at a slow speed is just pain for the eyes. Defending can be rewarding till the defence or the goalkeeper makes that mistake that's just due to the match engine. Completely nonsense. Ultimate team is a fun idea and working while not playing matches. EA likes to work with a sort of handicap system that makes players sometimes more unresponsive and slow than in other matches. Pushing the sprint won't work, I can't RUN! This happens especially when you are on the urge to promote. Complete nonsense. Maybe if I buy Ronaldo or a legend for a couple of million. Will it be better then? That's the question EA wants you to ask. It's all about the MONEY. And people playing with Walcott who is going faster than the speed of light, it's just unrealistic. It's defendable, but also complete nonsense. No EA, I'm having real trouble to trust in a good Fifa 16. Expand

How can EA get away with publishing half finished games? And scripting is back bigger bad badder than ever before plus the main exploit..."the hoof" is the most effective weapon. A footy game this isn't, more like a turgid mess of AFL and NFL combined. Expand
