FIFA 15, lol...


FIFA 15, Stop Complaining

About FUT Flaws, First of all, the negativity recently about FIFA has been overbearing. I'd like to address some of the major problems that are constantly posted here. Do not complain.

FIFA-Feedback

1. I'm sick of seeing people complain about Ibarbo, Emineke, Doumbia etc. They're cheap and fast players, people are going to use them. They are not gods, I don't have trouble defending them. They're just like any other fast striker I've ever had to defend against. Also I barely ever come across an opponent that even uses these players (Maybe 1 in 10 games).

2. Please stop complaining about the game mechanics. I'm mainly talking about the goal keepers glitching and making awful attempts for the ball. I know EA said they made the keepers better and whether it was a lie or they failed (I don't really care) it is what it is. We all deal with the same glitchy mechanics together, it's not just you.

3. Stop posting screenshots saying you got "EA'd" because you have 20 shots on goal and your opponent only has 2 but he won 1-0. Just because you have more shots doesn't mean you played better. You probably took shots from 18 yards out where the chances of scoring them are significantly lower than your opponent who passed it in front of your keeper for the easy tap in. It's called making the most of your chances and not wasting them.

4. Stop complaining about pack luck, but you can buy FIFA coins. When you buy a pack it is a gamble. It's like going to a casino. You're not promised anything when you purchase that pack. The odds are not in your favor on purpose to get you to spend hundreds of dollars. EA only cares about money. That's it and you've just got to accept that fact.

5. Lastly, don't forget that this is a video game. It's supposed to be fun. I get it, people like being competitive and there's nothing wrong with that but there's a point at which you have to step back from all the raging and complaining and evaluate if you're going too far. Too far for a game that is known to glitch out and not always work the way its supposed to. You can argue that since you pay for the game that you have the right to complain...well you don't. Unless this is your first FIFA everyone knows that all the bullshit that's in this edition is the same bullshit that was in the last one. I bought FIFA 15 full well knowing that it was going to have glitches and all these issues because the last four FIFAs did as well. Every year we encounter the same issues with ultimate team and FIFA as a whole. Sure the problems may not be exactly the same but there's always a long list of issues. If you have a problem with the game then don't buy it. Otherwise, just enjoy it. In the end it's just a game and before you know it the next one will be out and all of your hard work and frustration will mean nothing, all you will have are the memories of you playing the game to look back on. So don't let those memories only being angry ones. Sit back, relax and just enjoy the game.

FIFA 15 Career Mode Needs Visual Improvements

I play FIFA Career Mode since 2008 and this year is the first year career mode irritates me. We are now in the so called 'next-generation' console games but FIFA is sticking in the past. The main future career mode got this year was the new interface and timewasting. Personally I like the new interface and hate timewasting. I just played a game West Ham United - Crystal Palace. Score 1-1, 78th minute. Crystal Palace decides to waste some time at the corner flag resulting in 12 game minutes frustration. It's almost impossible to get the ball back and set up a decend attack. All that happens during timewasting is throw ins and corners.

Now I'll sum up my suggested improvements.

- Realistic attacks

All teams in career mode attack the same way. Yes you can pressure higher up or do a counter attack, but a counter attack never feels like a counter attack. I want those Real Madrid and Dortmund like switch from slow pace to high pace counters.

- Realistic defending

This is something that irritates me. EA says that FIFA 15 feels the game and "it just got real". Look at defending. Not defence, but playter-to-player defending. Not a single player defends his target, neither closing up. When I have a goalkick I can easily give a long ball to my RW and I can easily take control on the ball. While in real life there is constantly contact between players off the ball. I don't see that in FIFA 15.

- Increase and decrease of income, fans, sponsors etc.

I like to start in the 3th or 4th division of England and make my 1 star team a Champions Cup winner. But I miss those 2006, 2008 options to upgrade my stadium, trainingground etc. I want to play in a small stadium to make money to build a bigger one. Just some standard upgrades are fine but the engine of FIFA Manager where you can build your own stadium would be perfect. Just like new sponsor contracts. I'm that type of guy that plays seasons with one team until 2024. But there is never a sponsor switch. Then we have the point we all had. Losing 3 or 4 games in a row. When you play with Arsenal or Manchester United or whatever, losing 4 games in a row means there will be less supporters in a stadium. Same like a cup game Arsenal - Ball over the Fence FC. But still the Emirates Stadium is sold out.

- Creation Centre

I liked the creation centre concept and would love to see this in career mode. For example, pay 2,5 million pound to design a new away kit for the new seasons. Implementing this wouldn't be that hard, will it? Maybe you can create a new stadium here too.

- Supporter

This FIFA supporters had a upgrade but i'm not that impressed. Only in the Premier League they added some chants, but it's still not the ambience as in a real game. Also, those random flags in the long side of the stadium botter me. Just like those copy paste flags at the bordings and why is everyone wearing a football shirt of their fifa club? Look at a real stadium mostly the fanatic supporters wear the kits, others are just casual dressed.

Besides the improvements gameplay wise these visual improvement will make the game better. Do you agree?

FIFA 15 Bugs

Over the last few days I've experienced some weird fifa 15 bugs on ultimate team. It's not with the gameplay but it's with the notification system / transfer market.

To start off, someone won a legend on fifa PS4? It's a bit blury but on the right hand side of my TV is says someone won the fifa Legend Owen.

The final glitch I found was that there's a fifa player called 'FakePlayer' with a 86 rating. There are also 2 more 'FakePlayers' that I found also.
