FIFA 15
Platform: ALL PLATFORMS
An evolutionary leap for the billion dollar franchise. The title’s crown jewel is definitely its’ stunning visuals that will keep you glued to your seat. Every bit of detail from the grass on the pitch to player expressions has been crafted to perfection. With over 600 new emotional reactions, players would fight after bad tackles or fall to the ground in disappointment after a missed shot. But what is most impressive is its incredible gameplay, an immense improvement from its predecessor, FIFA 14.
Refined dribbling, tackling, foot races for a free ball and shot taking, the entire package is organic, larger than life. Superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo are impossible to stop when he bombs down the wings. It would take an experienced defender to stop the likes of Lionel Messi as he dribbles past players. Fans have so much to look forward to in what is the benchmark of all FIFA games. A visual masterpiece, with one of the best gameplays the FIFA series has ever seen; EA has definitely scored on this one.
