FIFA 15 is a pro soccer simulation for multiple platforms. Players can play against AI -controlled players or human ones in a number of games, modes, and tournaments. There isn’t any controversial content that parents need to worry about, unless the staggering number of ads throughout the game is an issue.
We’ve seen a lot of improvements to the dribbling mechanics in FIFA over the past few years and the latest instalment is no different, as EA introduce what they are calling ‘response dribbling’. Although the improvements to this area have been decent over the years, there are still some big frustrations, and hopefully, this new format erases many of the problems we’ve grown accustomed to.
While team tactics have been a feature of FIFA titles for a number of years, a nice little option included in FIFA 15 is called “Park the Bus”, which is pretty self explanatory really. Other new features include Living Pitches, so that when a player slides along the pitch on his knees celebrating a goal, the marks he leaves will be there for the remainder of the match. Pretty cool. And finally, just like games on tv every weekend, expect to see some pretty authentic shirt pulling and dragging too. Overall, if you’re thinking of treating yourself, FIFA 15 won’t let you down.
The FIFA franchise has gone from a game that was huge because of the de facto effect of its numerous licenses to a title that stands tall thanks to its own abilities. FIFA 15 takes the series into a whole other level with gameplay that betters the surmounting hype that threatened to engulf it. Playing it makes me believe I can do just about anything with the ball at my feet, and this self-assurance is powerful. If you have the desire, FIFA 15 meets the challenge. It does not disappoint.
"2014 was a remarkably successful year for retailers and digital services as they continued to invest in the future of the entertainment business," said ERA director general Kim Bayley in a statement. "More than half of entertainment revenues now come from retail channels which did not even exist a decade ago." However, a sore point for the games category was the console market, which actually shrank by 2.3 per cent despite 2014 being the first full year for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
