FIFA 15 Review

Once a year, die hard soccer fans of all ages and team orientation, come together and rejoice in the release of their favorite video game; FIFA 15.
For those who cannot touch the professional soccer pitches, this game makes them water at the mouth, giving them the ability to everything that professional players and managers do in the professional soccer world. Managing your own team, creating your own virtual professional, scouting future stars is all possible and is so in 35 licensed leagues, over 600 clubs, using 16,000+ players and 41 licensed stadiums.
A dream for fans of soccer, this game has become a commodity for every household loving the sport. Vastly different from the FIFA’s before it, FIFA 15 is being called the best one yet.
Modifications are made yearly to the game, based off of buyer/player reviews and this year, almost all kinks from past FIFA’s have been made. To name some features; tackling has been improved, emotion from the crowd and players has been updated, flow of play has been made more smooth, and of course the players game-face graphics have become more detailed.
There are many more but these updates, though small, drastically improved the in-game play of the videogame. Fans being fans, they want the best game they can get and EA Sports has made the best game they can for the present year.
As an avid player of the FIFA series myself, I am very happy with how EA Sports has incorporated the emotion of the game. Soccer is one of the most passionate sports on this planet, and with more than 600 more emotional reactions added to the game, it brings you into the soccer game itself. Players respond to pivotal moments in the game, the crowd is more involved, and the flow of the game sways towards the team with more chances, which in turn increases the difficulty of defensive play. All these changes are ones that I have personally wanted to see change in as well as the millions who play FIFA, but there are some downsides to everything in life.
With good, comes the bad and this year, FIFA has made it terribly easy to dribble past the opposing defense. With the addition of players being able to turn on a dime, while sprinting, has made the “goal from the tap,” a very big complaint, especially toward those online players of the game.
At the end of the day the good usually outweighs the bad, and it is no different here. FIFA 15 has gained ratings of 4/5 from Metacritic and 8/10 from GameSpot, making it quite the popular game for those fans of the sport.
