FIFA 15 is the most authentic football experience yet

It begs the question whether reviews keen to be out prior to launch are always a good thing, and whether a Destiny-like approach is more acceptable in this more online world we live in. But maybe that's a discussion for another time.

Nice product it is working fine since I bought. But still it requires internet connection for some purpose. Also I am eager to play Wc series but I do not find option.

Although FIFA 15 has obviously made some great improvements in the game, I feel that it has also gone back in a few different areas. Defending is significantly harder, and most games end with each team scoring more than 4 goals.

It was the 85th minute in the season opening tilt against Real Salt Lake, and the situation was looking bleak for my San Jose Earthquakes as RSL lined up for a potential go-ahead penalty kick. Barring a miracle, the Quakes would be going down to a 2-1 defeat. But a miracle was just what they got.

Commentary remains awkward; Emphasis on exciting football could limit long-term depth

Concept: An impressive leap in gameplay augments the already-full feature set. Graphics: From the look of the players and the pitch to the overall presentation package, it's all top notch. Sound: The timing and overall context of the commentary has improved from last year.

With an emphasis on improving the core gameplay, the best around has gotten better once more.

On-pitch tweaks vastly improve gameplay; Different types of goals you can hammer in keep things fresh; The team management screen is no longer a chore

Keepers are more intelligent; but they still do odd things
