FIFA 15

I'm surprised how many people batter FUT on here, if you're a good enough player you can win most of your games, there are some matchmaking problems but those have always been there in my opinion, I have a decent team and am currently in divison 5 after 7 seasons, you start in divison 10, so I'm doing fairly well, It's been made much more difficult to reach divison 1 which I like, because in FIFA 13 you started in Divison 5 and I was in Divison 1 in about 2 weeks after buying the game, it's now much more challenging and I like it, there are quite a few who try to abuse pace and simply run down the wings, and I agree, complete bar stewards, but I find it's rather easy to defend against them if you have defenders with pace over 75, which I do. And generally these kind of people can't defend for sh*t or play for sh*t for that matter, so scoring against them is rather simple.

That said, haven't played fifa in 2 weeks as I got a copy of Assassins Creed Black Flag, completely absorbed by it, haven't played AC before and now I just want to play every game that's been made, including buying AC Unity.
The pace whores aren't much of an issue once you get to the top 5 divisions when most players are capable of defending them. My problem with FIFA 15 is that the refs are worse than the refs in real life but I guess EA can just say they are making the game realistic.

 
I got Sergio Ramos in a pack yesterday. Which means I can afford Hazard.

 
I wish PES had a pro clubs mode, until it gets that I can't leave Fifa no matter how awful it is. 

 
I agree, fifa is bad, but gameplaywise, I can't prefer PES,

 
I've always been a PES guy from PES 3-PES2013.

Because PES wasn't out on the PS4 I decided to buy FIFA 14 which was actually not bad.

However IMO, the gameplay on FIFA 15 is epic and rivals any PES game I've ever played. What I don't like about FIFA 15 however is:

1: Conceding 90th min goals. This happens far to regular even when I try and focus not to concede. It just keeps happening.

2: Scoring a goal and conceding straight from kick off.

3: My defenders running into eachother leaving the oppenent with a clear sight of goal.

4: FUT not recording my wins. On the main FIFA menu it says I have 12 points in division 3. However, when I click onto FUT online , it says I only have 6 points, meaning two of my wins have not been recorded. What a bummer.

5: player prices are too high. You don't earn enough money per game and there is no way I can see myself ever affording someone like Aguero or Hazard.

 
Conceding straight from kick-off is a problem this year, but the odd glitch is as expected since we're dealing with EA Sports here.

And as far as affording Agüero or Hazard, the only way you can afford them is to spend money on packs, how much depends on your luck, if you're lucky you will get a 300K player out of your first 20 packs which cost about the same amount of euros, but if not then you may have to spend up to 100 or more euros on packs to get someone decent.

I played a lot of FUT when FIFA came out and spent a total of 60 euros on packs, I made about a total of 80K coins from discarding the things I didn't need, best player I got was De Gea who cost 15K, but haven't played FUT in about a month now and most certainly will not spend any more money on Fifa this year, I hope next year will be better.

Another problem, and the most massive with this year's fifa, the AI is one of the worst in recent years.

 
Anyone else having problems with the EA servers? Of the losses I've recorded online, over half have been due to dropping connection. My IP is static (I went through all the steps to manually forward the ports and so on), NAT is set to open, but still every 2 or 3 games my connection to the servers drops out. Very frustrating!

 
2: Scoring a goal and conceding straight from kick off.
Too easy to run past half the team from kick offs. 

Because most sides line up with something like 4-2-3-1, the most forward four of team are all crowded around the centre circle and so straight from kick off their basically in front of the ball, then the attacking side only has a holding midfielder and defender to beat for a straight run at goal.... I've started selected my centre forward before kick offs and moving him into a defensive midfield position to create more of a wall. 

Like most previous FIFA games there is a lot of cheap tricks and tactics that can be used. 

 
I score virtually every kick off I have with either Willian or Hazard, it's top lol.

Especially when i've conceded from some sweaty lob through ball to Ronaldo and they do a big celebration.

The #1 problem with FIFA 15 is that 9/10 games no matter who I play with, I get drawn against Real Madrid. Even with 4 star teams I get drawn with Real Madrid.

They should do it like the NBA 2K series where you get matched up with your opponent, then you pick your teams and you can see what the other person is picking before confirming the game.

 
FIFA online is horrible becuase everyone goes Madrid and uses the same spamming moves.

You would think they would fix the lobbed through ball after years of it being an issue.

 
I scored a fantastic solo goal with Ramires in Ultimate Team on Monday. I dribbled through his midfield and defence with ease and got about 4 yards from the byline before chipping it over the oncoming keeper.

It was as if Ramires' goal of the season against Man City and Barcelona had a baby.

I was gutted when I went to watch the replay at the end of the match only to find the clip wasn't long enough to show the dribble.

 
Are you on PS4? if so you can press the share button and then the square to save the last 15 minutes of gameplay, you can download an app named ShareFactory which easily let's you edit gameplay. It's a fantastic feature and I've edited all of my best FIFA goals with it.

I'm still on the PS3 unfortunately. [emoji17]

EA nerfed the lob through ball, it's much harder to control and bring down those type of passes compared to previous FIFA's.
 
True, the lob pass is not the issue as much as before, but as in every FIFA, there's a bunch of other issues, and the ones they fixed for this game will be back a couple years from now, that's EA Sports for you but what are you going to do.

 
Not so much the lob through ball, but the fact you can literally run around people with Ronaldo and Bale due to their speed and strength is ridiculous.

Which is why every other c**t is playing as them in that stupid black kit. 

That side is so lopsided it's ridiculous, you have no hopes of catching either of those players once they get in behind the defense so your best hopes is to sit deeper against them which isn't always as fun. 

I haven't touched FIFA in a couple of weeks now, thinking of trading it in as there is a lot of new games coming out now.
