It runs very well on an upper mid-range rig, and despite the relative lack of graphics options, immediately feels like a console game running on the PC, which in this rare case is probably what you want.
EA's mantra this year is 'Feel The Game', which is a marketer's way of saying they've captured the emotional and dramatic side of the sport, along with all the kicking and running.
This is tantamount to cutscenes showing players dropping to their knees at a missed chance, shouting at each other when mistakes are made, pushing opponents after a bad tackle, but it does breathe life into a series that has always felt a little robotic. If all this adds character to proceedings, it's the goalkeepers who provide the muscle. EA's calling them 'next-gen keepers', which doesn't really mean anything, but they're noticeably better than they ever have been, That doesn't just mean they're harder to beat either - they also make more believable mistakes.
It's infinitely more gratifying to score five on-on-ones that see the goalkeeper react in different ways than it is to score the exact same goal five times, even if the end result is the same.
FIFA 15 is probably EA's most convincing and varied effort, then, but it still struggles in some key areas. It might look like football, but it rarely flows like football. Matches - especially online - are almost always played on the counterattack, with quick reverse passes to the strikers far too easy to pull off. Matches, then, take place in constant transition, far more like basketball than the gradual shifts in momentum that 'real' football typically enjoys.
This is less of an issue when playing against the AI, but this raises its own problems. Computer controlled players seem hell bent on proving that FIFA 15's dribbling game is stronger than last year's, and consistently attempt ridiculous runs that more often than not result in them getting tackled. You can dive into the menus and tweak almost every aspect of the game, from the speed to the amount of control you have in passing, even through to the AI tendencies of other players, and it is possible to strike a better balance.
While customisation should never be sniffed at, do you really want to be responsible for creating the game that you've paid for? It's like going to those restaurants where you cook your own steak on a hot bit of stone.
No, I'm paying you to do that mate. Nice chips though yes, that is a football pun. Off the pitch, FIFA 15 is an incredible package. YouTube favourite, Ultimate Team, returns with the ability to loan star players, and is as life-consuming as you want it to be, while the online Seasons mode and its coop brother are as captivating as ever. It should be said that online FIFA is a subtly different game - the latency is imperceptible, but in such a physics-driven simulation, even tiny delays in input can effect how you dribble and shoot.
As such it tends to focus more on pace and high-through balls in favour of tactical build up. All 20 Premier League stadia are represented in the series. Real Player Motion Technology. New motion capture techniques and frame by frame animation transitions ensure gameplay accurately represents the reality of football.
