FIFA 15 may not be a massive leap from last year’s instalment, but there is no denying it is a highly polished soccer simulator that will please fans of the sport. 2014 was a FIFA World Cup year, though Electronic Arts’ FIFA 14 actually came out last year and was themed around the journey to the tournament. FIFA 14 was also notable in that it was the first time the series came to the current generation of consoles. Now that the World Cup in Brazil has wrapped up, FIFA 15 has the opportunity to accurately recreate the experience.
FIFA 15 comes off as more polished experience than last year’s effort, though FIFA 14 was still a good game in its own right. If you are coming from FIFA 13 and earlier, then this year’s instalment may convince to upgrade, particularly if you have a PlayStation 4. However, those who bought FIFA 14 last year may prefer to wait for the next instalment for a different experience. Join the Good Gear Guide newsletter! FIFA 15 is already poised to offer the most realistic and emotional experience the series has ever seen, with new gameplay being based off of player emotions, realistic pitch environments with a complete overhaul for the Barclay’s Premier League. EA Sports has now announced an update for goalkeepers in FIFA 15, which should impact the gameplay in a big way.

As part of their realism update, gamers will now see goalkeepers interact a lot more with their squad. Players will dole out high-fives and pats on the shoulder after great saves, but goalkeepers can react angrily to shoddy defending or letting in weak goals. Considering their interactions before were mostly limited to ‘standing back up after diving’, these new interactions will help FIFA 15 feel a lot more authentic and natural. We’re not saying Tim Krul is going to yell at everyone taking a penalty, but goalkeepers will certainly step up their game. Goalkeepers will also get a massive update when it comes to their save animations, allowing them to leap to acrobat saves and perform a variety of different slides, dives and tackles. They’ll look and move a lot more life-like and we’ve no doubt players will enjoy seeing their goalkeepers pump their arms after a great leaping save.
In my last piece on coin selling I described turning off trading within the web and mobile apps as the eventual “silver bullet” to coin selling. Price Ranges are an atomic bomb powered, sledge hammer of doom, to face of coin selling because 99.9% of the players listed to instigate coin selling, are the least valuable players in the game. Price Ranges control the upper limit those players can sell for, effectively closing the door on their exploitation potential for would be coin sellers.

- The new Price Range's will enforce a lower and higher selling value for all FUT items. Players, consumables, club items, etc

FUT 15 Winter Upgrades are finally here! These long-awaited and highly anticipated FIFA 15 Ultimate Team Upgrades include Neymar, Aguero, Costa, Sanchez & De Gea!
Upgrades apply to new non-inform players found in packs. Non-IF players in your Club will not receive an upgrade.
If an upgraded player’s new OVR rating equals or surpasses his existing first in-form’s rating, his IFs will be upgraded respectively and accordingly.
If an upgraded player’s new OVR rating does not equal or surpass his existing in-form’s rating, his IFs will not be upgraded. (Ex: Depay has been upgraded from 78 to 79 OVR, therefore his 80 OVR IF will not receive an upgrade)
However, if an upgraded player with an existing IF gets upgraded across Quality tiers, his lower-quality IF will not be upgraded. This preserves the in-form’s high value. Ex: Harry Kane has been upgraded to a Gold, but his two existing silver IFs will not receive upgrades and will stay Silver. If you already own the in-form version of an upgraded player in your Club, your IF will be upgraded.
