Thanks for the info QB. So can you try changing it during the match? I mean I know you said you did it at kickoff, just wondering if you can flip through them during gameplay.
Yes, you can do it during gameplay, check it out below. What I meant was since the change I make is relatively subtle, is switching from a side camera to end-to-end viable or is it totally disorienting as you're bearing down on the keeper?

If you have a headset, kinect, or PS camera, the game will recognize verbal commands while you're playing. As you see in the video above, you can change the camera during gameplay; make tactical changes to your mentality, formation, tactics, etc; make substitutions; and even call for passes, shots, runs, etc from your teammates while playing Be A Pro.

I'm really excited for this. I love messing with all the in-game manager options, but pausing continuously is not an option if playing a friend, and it takes away from things even offline. Now most of it can be done without pausing or even d-pad gymnastics, and I expect it to be even more useful with saved customization in the full game.

Unfortunately, there's nothing like this in NHL yet. It would be HUGE... line changes & strategies are a real pain during play, especially with since the options all cycle. It's usually at least a few button presses to get what you want, not to mention diverting attention. Voice commands are a must for next year.

Re: FIFA 15 Demo Gameplay Impressions

great stuff QB.

This looks terrific. This will be a huge help. The combo settings are going to rule.

Off topic slightly, when you go into orbit cam it sure is a shame you can't get up into the stands, even a little bit. I would love to be able to drag the camera behind the net for some goal replays, or up in the stands looking back end to end.

You can go to the far end but you cannot get the camera in the right spot near end.

I find the angle a bit too flat.
The "default" cam is unplayable to me. It's way too low on the pitch. I use a Tele Broadcast cam with custom settings to get the view up high, and zoomed in a bit.

Every time I try a different camera I am disappoint & promptly return to me staple.

The game looks and feels amazing. It could/should be the best FIFA ever.

Re: FIFA 15 Demo Gameplay Impressions

As someone said before, game speed is too fast even on slow so I turn down passing and shooting to 40 and it kinda helps a bit.

I hope in the retail version its speed is slower so we can have better build up play.

Re: FIFA 15 Demo Gameplay Impressions

@OS Brethren -

I felt like I needed to share my experience with FIFA 15 b/c I feel that some of us may not be utilizing the 'new' system to its fullest. Basically, I was done with this demo. I played a few times, was let down b/c I felt defense on the 'Human' side of things was completely nerfed and we were left out on the virtual field to fend for ourselves! So I decided to just be done with it and delete it off my ps4 (yeah, I basically raged! LOL!).

But then I did two things ...

One, I was absolutely impressed by the presentation for the Premier League. The chants, the SkyTV presentation elements, the crowd immersion, the graphics ... Speaking of the graphics, one detail (its so freakin' random), but they got David Luiz's hair perfect! Its such a small thing, but something so noticeable. Ok..I digress. LOL! So I decided to take my ps4 and hook it up in my man cave (which is reserved for movie viewing only), but the presentation was so darn good (especially the team specific chants), I had to give it a try. OH....MY....GOODNESS! It was amazing! The immersion was at another level! There is no way around it...EA Sports have gone beyond expectation in presentation, graphics, etc...

Second, I had come across a post in one of the threads that quickly detailed 'Roles' for each individual player on the pitch. I was like...Hold up! This could change everything. So I picked Boca Juniors, adjusted all the individual roles to my liking (by no means am I an expert in tactics, roles, etc.) and set my strategy to 'Possession'... Then headed out on the pitch to face Borussia Dortmund...Another setting I decided to go with was Auto switch at High (I had seen in a previous thread in Fifa 14 that this setting changed the game in regards to defensive positioning). And put it on Legendary (left all passing at Assisted - I'm not the best gamer whatsover, but also heard that Legendary, the AI defense for Hum is much better).

Now let me tell you...The play on the pitch was a work of art! Now...let me preface...I'm not an expert on how gameplay should be, but I watch my fair share of the Premier League every week on NBC. What I saw on the pitch was absolutely night and day compared to when I didn't touch individual roles. There was TONS of midfield play. None of this hit turbo and get down the field like sonic the hedgehog type runs. Alot of passes cut off and intercepted by both sides. Some nice runs, give and go's, through balls, etc.

And here is the kicker for me....Borussia Dortmund Pass Accuracy % was at 75%! Now, I'm know this could be lower like around 65%, BUT I'm good with this...Then I played another match using Boca Juniors against PSG...PSG finished with a Pass Accuracy % of 79%...Ibra was his usual 'magician-self' and kept me on my toes when they were attacking (which is exactly how it should be). Seeing a good amount of fouls / cards for both sides considering its set at 4 minute halves..

Just wanted to share my experience with everyone b/c I feel once our slider gurus get their hands on this iteration of Fifa, I'm sure we will have an awesome representation of this beautiful sport! Game on fellas! Cheers!

Edit: ALSO...had to share this final caveat. Stay...off...turbo as much as possible and sparingly use the contain button! Trying to play D by pounding the turbo or the contain button will get you in a bad spot! Even when your counter-attacking, do not quickly hit your turbo...Pick your spots!

Mods,

Is there some way to merge the two FIFA 15 threads?

Just be careful during your CM, I've heard that if you swear (as some of us do) the game will recognize it and you may even be fired for "inappropriate touchline behaviour"
