FIFA 15 |OT| 99 problems but the pitch ain't one.

I am ONLY playing Career Mode, single player. I love to tinker around with managerial tasks, buying players, playing the games, upgrading and so on. I enjoy FIFA 14.

Is there any good reason for me to buy FIFA 15 for my PC?

this issue with my offline pro's skill move star rating dropping from 3 to nothin is fucking ruining the career mode for me. can't do any moves makes the shitty cheating AI unbearable to play against.

im finding defending very difficult this year. it was posted on this thread but i started playing tody only. i had to change my formation to 5 defenders to at least have a chance online.
am i doing something wrong?

I've actually found it easier with 3 at the back. Heading is pretty crap in 15 so im happy to give up the wings for an extra CDM.

You just need to be super cautious with the current defending. Hold L2 and jockey and back off until you can get players back. Lunging in for a tackle when you're 1 on 1 is almost always gonna result in a goal.

They're gonna have to change it as defending atm is like full on simulation, while attacking is obviously assisted. It looks utterly ridiculous when 2 players know they can slow dribble past everyone and the game ends up 9-8.
 
Pro Clubs is fucked today. Constant quitters and keep getting joined into other teams matches. I've played like 7 games and I've apparently played none..

Can you afford it?

Do you care about updated transfers and kits?

Are you bothered that the gameplay as changed marginally?

If you answered yes to the top two and no to the third, why not??

Wut... I mean, I'm not complaining...

Also, if he was playing FIFA 14 on PC, it is a pretty good upgrade overall since it's on the next gen version now.
 
I hate that 90% of the time when I go to make subs in co-op seasons I can't because it shows the other teams players instead. Fuck this game is broken in some places.

Yeah, that is really fucking annoying. I was hoping I could actually make changes to their squad the first time I saw it.

Was playing Ultimate Team just now (single player tournament) and scored a great goal so I thought I'd upload it. Hit share, trim the video, name it etc, hit upload and expect to go back to playing the match I'd just paused.

"You have lost connection to the EA servers and have been returned to the main menu"

In the middle of a match... Seriously, EA?

when you edit the video it suspends the game which drops all connection to the servers of the game you are playing, so for once not EA's fault :p

Well, there's plenty of issues with their servers already xD

Disconnections aside, I hate it when the game does not award you points or credits. Or when it just randomly ignores you still have games to play in a season.

Everything is broken.

EA are a complete shambles of a company. Three times my progress in a FUT online season has been reset to 0 points.

God forbid they sort out the servers on the most profitable game of the year.
 
Has anyone been playing as Chelsea? For some reason (this is Manager mode) Cahill keeps playing as a striker alongside Costa even though he is set to CB and is set to stay back during attack. Fabregas ends up filling in for him.

Quite annoying.

the only reason this should happen is if you select All Out Attack at the start of the match by pressing right on the d-pad a bunch.

I think I'm done with this game. Not responsive. Too many animations which interrupt any flow. All the bugs? You can't really defend. The keepers are ridiculous sometimes.

For years I keep wondering if someone at EA Sports is actually watching football on regular basis, not to mention about playing football in real life. How can you make a game in which regurarly a losing team gets such a boost of energy and moral in the last ten minutes of a game, while the winning team start making mistake at header and the easiest of stops and suddenly become a bunch of idiots on the field?
I mean it might happen in reality too, but once every thousand games, not every damn game.
 
I've been playing seasons online and every single matche was against Real Madrid, last night I played 12 consecutive matches, all against Real... WTF Do people choose another team to play?? I've been playing with Barça and MU.

The defending is just too bad. I don't think I can play this game for many months.

Someone like Ibarbo can just run through my Boateng and Benatia defense. It's ridiculous. Or just use Ronaldo from kick off to run to the other goal. Just works.

Ridiculous

Every half decent fast player in FIFA 15 is like C Ronaldo in FIFA 14, fucking joke, defenders just stand around like plonkers.
 
It is funny seeing everyone moan about defending. I've had this problem ever since they introduced the new defending system, was never able to get to grips with it.

As someone said earlier it feels like attack is heavily assisted with defending a full sim. You have to be so precise, and there's so many dubious fouls given.

And I'm not angry about this game because I lose. I won most of my online games so far. But even winning feels off cause you basically just win by making more out off the games faults. When I use my defenders its basically a 50:50 chance to get the ball or to get overrun. And when you try to defend by moving to the oppositions direction you just move sooooo slowly. Like a heavy fucking truck. Shooting feels off too. You do the same thing two times. Sometimes it's in. Sometimes it's far off.

And I actually don't like how the pitch looks like.

And rain games got EVEN WORSE because of the overwhelmed physics engine.

In one game I had 3 players falling to the ground because they of the collision engine. They just ran into each other. And all of them needs several seconds to stand up again? wat.

I just realised that my 560m may not even be able to do this game justice. I don't even know if that graphics card is supported. So I'll pass for now.

I don't find defending that hard. In fact, I'm glad they changed it because the amount of rage I hear over the mic when they can't run through me like every one else.

Just don't run to the ball, don't use X and use L2. R1 if you need extra pressure for another player and hit Square when they make a mistake.

Look at the green defender beneath Falcao. I hate that so much in FIFA. When you try to change players to attack the running striker, they just stop and hesitate for a second while Falcao just keeps running. This shit is in every fucking FIFA.
 
For people wanting to get this on the cheap digitally keep an eye out on eBay for people selling their bundled codes. Just picked this up for $40 after finding out PES will be 720p which for this type of game is unacceptable.

Welcome to a world of frustration and bugs! :D

This first patch can't come quick enough.

PES 2015 is supposedly 720p on the Xbox One, and 1080p on the PS4.

Either way, until it's officially confirmed it is better not to jump to conclusions.

There's a setting in controller settings to counteract that this year. Think it's switching assist or something like that. The CPU will carry on running in the same direction for a split second before you get control and it's much better that way.

Better than my solution in 14, which was to not pressure the ball anyway.
