Football/Soccer Video Games Discussion

Think I figured out long shots. Do not hold RT ( Sprint) when powering up the shot. Same goes for Flair shots(LT) too. Since I have been doing this my long shots have improved significantly.
Really? That's like the opposite of all other Fifa games where your momentum added power to your shot. This will be a difficult adjustment for me.

I am sure there is more to it, but since I stopped holding RT my shots have become less wild. I am not scoring lots, but have scored a couple nice ones.
 
Finishing and shooting in general is a little funky in the demo. It will undoubtedly be changed/improved in the full game, the demo is always a bit less refined than full game. I played a few games tonight and I definitely prefer the defending here, if you go around chasing the ball it is very easy to get dragged all over and the AI will punish you for it. Keep your shape and time your tackles and you'll have no problems. I feel like the short passing is zippier and more precise too, which is great for me as I usually prefer to build up my attack rather than go a bit gung-ho and all out constantly.

Really looking forward to the full game now, on a side note though, has anyone used the voice commands in game? Not sure if/how they work on PC/Xbox, but they're surprisingly effective and work quite well. They also work in party chat in PS4 which is nice, I can see my self using them in career mode especially.
 
Dude Megatron is singing!

Yep, and Optimus is dancing

Yeah, that seems to be the "Key" for this years iteration, Patient Defending with Quick Attacking.
 
The presentation is top class in this and really has a Sky Sports feel to it now.
Keepers made quite a few sabres that would have be guaranteed goals last year and the defense seems better.

Still not sure if I'll get this years game and I'm also hoping we get aPES demo.

A PES demo comes out tomorrow (17th)according to Konami ;)


Back to FIFA....How long have y'all spent on the demo ? According to Origin I have spent 25 hours on it already :oops::bang:
 
Played two games of the demo. Have pre ordered the full thing
 
I've played dozen single player matches and 4 h2h with my boys. Impressed on the h2h's that they have been tight low scoring matches as opposed to generally higher scoring matches in '14. Could be we just need to figure out what works but I somewhat feel you have to set up proper opportunities more as opposed to '14 where you could toss a cross or lob into the box and get lucky.

You should be getting early access soon, right ? Not that you have much experience with the demo, but some comparisons between the two would be nice ;)

Yeah. I should have 6 hours and I will take them as well. Not sure when that early access kicks off. I'll see if it's there when I get home

It is 5 days early access, right? so should start Monday, finish thursday. Then release day Friday. That is just a guess though.

It's different per game. Saw a tweet saying that the trail was available to EA Access members so might be there to play when I get home

Oh, that is a shame. I thought it ( 5 days early)was a set thing for all games, and all that changed was the amount of gameplay time available.
 
I haven't spent an hour with the demo on either the Xbox One or PS4 but it's because I'm waiting on the real thing. Like I said earlier I've found this game to take some getting use to this time around as appose to any football game I've ever bought so I will concentrate soley on career and H2H with cousins, friends ext for atleast a couple of months before jumping on my most used mode Seasons.

Looking forward to the release I've put $55 of the $75 (inc tax) down already for the ultimate addition but I think I'm going to change it to the regular edition come release.

Whats the best way to buy some points/coins for ultimate mode? never used it before will do this time around. I see people selling points/coins on ebay ext but I have no idea what to do or where to go with them.

Be careful about that, EA are cracking down big time on third party coin sales. They've gone as far to remove trading completely from FUT 15, and anyone caught selling/buying coins will receive warnings, squad resets and potentially a ban from online modes in Fifa, with sellers potentially getting bans from all online modes in all EA Games.

I'm glad if true. Stop's the cheats.

Its never bothered me. I love seeing these people with these mental teams but no chemistry, and then my rather poor Premier league side with 90-100 chem rips them apart. Oh the abuse at the end of the game -assuming it gets that far- fills me with joy & hope:)
 
I tried the demo and I have to say when they show the player models up close they look pretty poor. I'm not saying they don't look like the people they are supposed to look like as I have no idea who any of the players are but the quality of the models themselves leaves a lot to be desired. The game looks nice enough when being viewed from the gameplay camera don't get me wrong but seeing the flat spots and points on the guys heads makes them look a bit last gen.
