FIFA 15
About the Game
The 2015 edition of the EA Sports FIFA football series is the second game for the then new generation of consoles. Unlike FIFA 14 , the PC version is now largely identical to the major console versions, using the new Ignite engine the first time for the platform, and the gap with the versions for previous generation consoles has become more extensive. Except for some UI changes the offline career mode is largely identical.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Searching for players still largely depends on scouting, but there are some new filters. The ‘player search’ function of the previous version does not return. The Ultimate Team mode still focuses on collecting players and assembling a team with Ultimate Team Online Seasons as a sub mode. Players are bought as card sets. The transfer market has been reworked to view all available cards for a single player at once and the prices can be compared quickly.
