You shouldn't read "realistic" as "better" though, as goalkeepers will not defend better than in FIFA 14. There are many new animations and behaviours, with accompanying claims that players in that position will be more realistic. One of the most publicised features coming in the new FIFA are the improvements for the goalkeepers, and we can confirm that they are indeed different. In FIFA 15 that touch is quite fierce, and if not used carefully, can easily result in turning over the ball. The same applies to the classic First Touch feature with the right analog. This means that it's easier to dribble past an opponent with speed and change of pace, although skill moves themselves (right analog) appear to be less effective in FIFA 15. There are plenty of new animations for protecting the ball, and speed changes are really hard to follow. Protecting the ball (left trigger) and realistic speed changes, are the main innovations introduced in FIFA 14, but only now do they seem to be reaching their true potential. While the passes find their targets more effectively (usually), it also seemed more difficult to choose the desired player when they are in nearby passing lanes. In sprint (which is significantly slower than in the past) it's now considerably easier to lose the ball because it goes out of reach a lot more frequently. This means more accurate control with technique players, but also a botched dribble with less gifted players. There is a genuinely realistic reaction to the ball, with very different steps on the ball. Dribbling, for example, is very different. There are similar examples, including new animations for situations like passing, dribbling, handball (now, when you are in the area, defenders put their hands behind their backs, to avoid conceding penalties).īut not everything is visual, there are also important changes in terms of gameplay. It's an easy process and it works quite well. In a corner, for example, you can select a forward, make a run, and call for the ball. There are more elements that add to the atmosphere and spectacle of a match, but don't translate wholly into changing the feel of the gameplay.Īnother examples of this, albeit with a more visible impact on the game, includes a new option to control a player in set-pieces. There are several new animations for different situations, such as harsh inputs, requests for cards and small on-field squabbles. Another visual detail is in the players' interactions.

You will quickly realise that the grass is now dynamic, exhibiting marks caused by players, like footprints for the sprints and tackles.

It remains to be seen how it will be in other stadiums outside the Premier League.įIFA 15 has several new details, although most are purely visual. The chants from Liverpool supporters (especially "You'll Never Walk Alone") and the general atmosphere in the stadium is impeccable. EA Sports signed a recent agreement with the British league, allowing EA to replicate all players, stadiums and chants, and it shows in this stadium. The only available stadium is Anfield (Liverpool), and if this stadium is an example, the Premier League on FIFA 15 will be fantastic. The demo lets you play with eight teams - Borussia Dortmund, Napoli, Paris Saint Germain, FC Barcelona, Boca Juniors, Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool (plus predefined squads in Ultimate Team Mode). But this is still not a true new generation of FIFA, at least visually. Despite the introduction of the Ignite engine in FIFA 14 for the new generation, the skeleton and the base of the graphics are the same as the versions built for the old generation, and as such, we don't notice any drastic changes in the graphics department. The game has a good visual finish, plus, the general presentation and production values are phenomenal.

Players who only play occasionally might say that it is equal, or that the differences are minimal, but anyone that plays FIFA on a daily basis will immediately realise that something is different in FIFA 15, especially if FIFA 14's mechanics are already ingrained in your system.
