EA recently revealed the global FIFA 15 box art, which stars four-time FIFA Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi. He adorns the box art worldwide for the fourth time, but as with previous FIFA releases Messi will be joined by local talent on a number of regional covers.
For starters, only select two goalkeepers. Keepers rarely get injured in FIFA so there’s no point wasting a seat on the plane for somebody who definitely won’t play. Take Hart and Ruddy just in case Hart starts playing poorly or does somehow manage to get hurt.
As you can see, the players featured are incredibly lifelike. You should be able to notice hair movement and facial reactions. The new character models and associated rigging system meaning the likes of Messi should look every bit the athlete they are in real life.
The player must build their own FIFA 15 Ultimate Team lineup in an attempt to guess what Bale has chosen. The closer the player gets to choosing the exact team Gareth Bale has chosen then the greater the chances of winning those two tickets becomes. Each completed team submitted will be given feedback from the developer in the form of a clue to help you gain ground towards choosing the right team.
This year, that will likely be truer than ever: the club has invested heavily, bringing in James Rodriguez (with no seeming necessity to do so) and world class central midfielder Toni Kroos. This means even more star athletes to attract FIFA players, and the ratings of Madrid's squad will be incredibly good.
Messi was originally announced as an EA Sports Football Ambassador in November 2011, a partnership that has not only put him on the cover of multiple FIFA titles but also brought a new street football pitch to Barcelona thanks to the Messi foundation and EA Sports.
Messi will be joined on the cover by additional stars throughout the world, although it isn't yet known who will be joining him on the UK box. EA says that the regional players will be announced "in the coming weeks".
