FIFA 15 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (PS4, XB1)

Yeats, like they are saying, use the RStick to skill often, also when you ping pong first time your passes that will also open up the cpu.

Do I want to play this way, no, but when the CPU does it to me to score a goal when they need one, then fair is fair. I've hit literal "walls" (or is it cpu toe poke? And a new anathema this year, the over used cpu slide tackle!) in this game trying to play real.

It makes scoring a goal finally a real rush. "I scored a goal!!"

PES player cam/player lock is the biggest sports video gaming rush ever, to score a goal in 3rd person mode, maybe once every 5 games... pure gaming bliss.

We can debate the finer points of this game until our fingers fall off, but can we all agree that the EA servers are a hot dumpster fire?

They are the worst, from the fut app not working for months, to 15's not working now that Europe came on board with the game, xp and FFC not calculating, the buggy weekly matches, I have read people having catalog issues, the cm squad issue, etc

Right now I feel the only safe thing to do is play kickoff mode.

This says it all...https://mobile.twitter.com/EASPORTSFIFA

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, over and over. How do they not know that humanity is going to come stomp on these servers? They know the sales numbers, just add 300000 to last years numbers and prepare for the onslaught.

The screen below shows what's possible this year just by editing team tactics, changing d-pad tactics, and using line edits. CPU players come back and defend. This wasn't possible before on any version of FIFA, not without a ton of PC database editing. This year, it can all be accomplished by anyone, even console gamers. Just takes a bit of tactics editing. The possibilities this year to create teams with noticeable and unique defensive and offence styles is what I'm especially excited about.

What tactics and line edits etc? Don't tease, let us know the details!

Unfortunately, one screenshot is not indicative of the general gameplay, while editing team tactics and d-pad controls for all CPU teams isn't possible.

Plain and simple, the defensive side of the game in this year's FIFA is a total farce.

Finally the game allows for console players to create the same sort of tactics edits PC gamers have been able to do for years, and STILL you say it isn't possible... I give up.

He was asking you to let him know what you edited so (I assume) he can plug in and try.

I'm kind of weird though, I'd like the game to play semi-smart D out of the box.

Sorry, but defending is worse this year. Use teammate pressure and your guy misses the player with the ball and gets horribly out of position (watch how after they run past the guy with the ball they simply keep going into empty space). Don't use it and your guy stands there and watches the ball go in the back of the net.

The only way to play D in this game is to rapidly switch players and do the job of 10 guys yourself.
