This.

It really is just a day (maybe?), but man it's just really disappointing when you're really looking forward to it...

Wow, that jersey tug was great! Thanks for sharing that!

Also, gotta say this is looking like FIFA will have the best crowds of any sports game ever! I'm very impressed from the screens and vids I've seen. Can't wait to experience all this.

Not only that, but the crowd/media/cameramen gear in different weather is both appropriate, varied, and looks excellent. The attention to detail is just on point. Other EA titles need to take this stuff seriously as well, and deliver the whole package. Small and big stuff.

Played the demo on X1!, Probably played 4-5 games!

I thought the controls felt tighter and more responsive,I upped the difficulty to world class, found it challenging but not crazy-like AI challenging like Fifa14

I liked the faces of the players who have been face scanned, but you can clearly tell who hasn't been scanned!, I really feel Fifa need to step up and match NBA2k in this regard, and adding details like tattoos and things would be an awesome addition to the player models!.

I like the look of the new menus, and the new tactics system!

Can't wait to get stuck into my Manager Mode!

This is exactly what ticks me off with EA Sports. You know they can do it and do it well, but they refuse to do so in the other titles for some reason. They should scrap their teams and rebuild them all in the same manner of the FIFA team.

To be fair though, 2K only has to facescan around what, 500/700 players? Because they only have 30 teams with less players on it than a football team.

FIFA has thousands of players in its database, of course they can't facescan them all and only focus on the biggest and current stars of the game.

Anyone else has problems with Replays and Cutscenes capping out at 32fps? Gameplay runs 60fps without any drops.

€dit: Changed from Limit to 60fps to Unlimited and thanks to Vsync it runs 60fps even in Cutscenes and Replays now. Way way better now.

Controls & Movement are much tighter in a more realistic fashion. You can sense foot-planting much better.

Presentation is very good although the formation menus can still use some work. It will cut off your ST's name at the top and of course, the dead-space when you go to edit the actual formation. Love the replays when you're on the pause menu/idle. Really showcases the games stunning graphics. Crowd chanting at Anfield seemed good. Crowd visuals are just OK, I would like to see "YNWA" scarves as well as their traditional red/white.

First touch animations are great so far. No more controlling it and "you're off". There seems to be a little intentional delay when passing. LOVE IT because it requires your player to get their feet set. Should make defending online against ping-pong a little easier IF it consistently results in losing possession and/or errant passes.

There seems to be an input delay on penalties when taking them and when trying to save them.

Your teammate AI is still poor when attacking 50-50 balls.

I wish the CPU would take more normal free kicks. Not every FK is something drawn-up from the training ground.

Skill games are awesome as usual

The new tactics are a welcome addition. Only gripe is that they should have added the option to let you select who you want to goo up for corners & what type of marking you want when defending (zonal/man). I nearly scored a header as Immobile because Cabaye was marking me. Yohan wouldn't be marking anyone inside of the box IRL.


So far I'm impressed by the improvement from '14. I still need more time with the demo but as someone who has a logged A LOT (and still do play) of hours on '14 I feel the changes are a welcome improvement.
