FIFA 15, the football simulation gaming title from EA that has won admiration from fans and critics alike, has received its third title update for PC, PS4 and Xbox One and second title update for PS3 and Xbox 360.
“The launch of the FIFA 15 demo is like our pre-season and the first chance for millions of FIFA fans to get hands-on with the game. The demo is an early representation and taste of this year’s game, and we welcome the chance to get fan feedback on our innovations and new features.” FIFA Senior Producer for EA sports stated.
FIFA 15 features 35 licensed leagues, more than 600 clubs and more than 16,000 players and 41 licensed stadiums. Argentine captain and FC Barcelona forward Lionel Messi is the face of its global covers.
With the help of Chelsea and Belgium star Eden Hazard, EA is showcasing all sorts of fancy ball movement skills including the 360 pass, a "spin" move, a standing heel volley, and a falling heel volley.
One such improvement includes AI-emotional intelligence where the football AI in-game reacts accordingly to the plays that the player is making. EA claims that this is to add a realistic and natural feel to the matches played.
Some of the issues addressed in this update include gameplay improvements, improvements to kit clashing logic, Career Mode stability fixes, FUT Friendly Seasons stability fixes and many more.
Graphical improvements that helps add more realism to the game include improved lighting, atmosphere, and a more dynamic audience. In-game players will even notice minute details such as breathe in and out portrayal during close ups and cut scenes. Also, hair will flow with the movement of the wind and the movement of the footballers.
In-game player kits have also been designed to move and rustle realistically as well as get muddy and dirty as the match goes on. The playing field itself also benefits from realistic improvements such as getting noticeably worn out from the prints that boots leave and skid marks from slide tackling.
