To begin with, having the freedom to zoom past defenders in FIFA 15 is exhilarating. In real life, after all, Raheem Sterling could knock the ball past most left-backs in the league and reasonably expect to outrun them. You needn't even use right-stick skill moves in FIFA 15- the new dribbling controls mean even FIFA novices can change direction, at speed, and find themselves easily breaking between lines. Exhilaration turns to anxiety, however, when the boot is on the other foot and attack turns to defense. Even relatively low-skilled players can pivot and sprint with ease, and when even Leon Osman can repeatedly waltz his way into your six-yard box you can't help but feel that some kind of balance has been lost.

 

Obviously, when you decide to buy a FIFA 15 pack you do it because you are dreaming with pulling a few amazing cards. You don’t do it because of profit. There is always a hope. However, if you make a study like we did you will realize that your chances of getting good cards in FIFA 15 are low. Since you can buy cards directly in the market, the importance to this study is to know how much the FIFA 15 packs are worth. That’s the only way to compare with your investment. It seems that many people are getting success with FIFA 15 packs. Right ? Wrong. The most experienced FIFA 15 Ultimate Team players agree with us about how bad of a strategy it is to buy FIFA 15 packs. But there are still many less experienced FIFA 15 players with another opinions. They are asking right now why are there so many people showing of the fantastic cards they have got in packs? Maybe because no one likes to show off rubbish and useless packs. If only good FIFA 15 packs are shared, it gives the idea that all the FIFA 15 packs have good cards. Nothing less true.


 

The lack of meaningful advancement isn’t just limited to FIFA 15, as the interface and single-player modes are so similar to FIFA 14 we almost expected EA to describe this as a ‘Legacy Edition’. They haven’t even bothered to copy across new ideas introduced in their last gen-only World Cup game, despite things like making training drills part of the career mode being such obviously good ideas. The lack of attention given to the single-player modes in FIFA 15 is clearly because EA’s focus is on the ever popular FIFA 15 Ultimate Team, which on the Xbox One also has the Ultimate Team Legends retro players. The community elements have been expanded again this year, with loan players now making it much easier to acquire that superstar striker you’ve always wanted. You can create dream team line-ups before you buy anyone and all the share and comment facilities mean you can chat and strategise with friends in what has become literally a game in itself.

 

I've said it again and again, but FIFA gets it in a way that is rare in a sports sim. It understands that many players come in as fans first, and so it deftly weaves in many opportunities to express your fandom, whether in putting your favorite club's badge next to your name or letting you play each match via the Match Day functionality, complete with accurate lineups and commentary. I'm consistently impressed with the depth of detail that goes into its design, the little additions like the ability to take a player out for a test drive in FIFA Ultimate Team before investing hard-earned coins in them, and just how fun it is on the pitch. Other sports sims may do certain things better, but FIFA 15 is easily the most complete sim around, boasting the best Manager mode, the best online mode, the best Ultimate Team mode, and on-field gameplay matched only by that of NBA 2K and maybe MLB: The Show. 

 

Even so, FIFA 15 is enough of an all around improvement to be worth the $60 purchase. It truly is impressive how great the game looks, and it plays even better. If the goal was to prove that FIFA is only pushing forward in the next-gen then mission accomplished.
