FIFA 15

I usually let the opening scenes play as this is the time when I realise urine

I hate players who run past me celebrating going sssshhhhhhh! It's annoying!

I'm a good player and there's been games when I've been the better team and someone scores a flukey goal and then the game starts to lag and for some reason my defenders aren't reacting to what I'm telling them to do. It becomes frustrating because I know I'm better and he has players on his UT that are black gold whereas mine are just gold and not the best players.

These are the worst football games in a while. FIFA has a monopoly now and the lack of competition is damaging. EA only respond to money, and FIFA continues to break sales records so they won't fix anything.

The gameplay is just poor. It rewards only crap tactics like pace abusing, that stupid kick off exploit, cross abusing. Possession football, passing, looking for holes in their defence -- patient football in general is punished by a David Luiz interception and a lofted through ball to Ibarbo. Keepers are all inhabited by the ghost of Richard Wright as they act like useless planks whenever given the opportunity.

On top of that, there's the ridiculous physicality, where someone can pull your shirt for half of the length of the pitch or when you're clean through on goal and not get punished, but then you can pull a shirt once and get an instant red card. Why shirt pulling was added I'll never know -- erm, it's not actually legal you know, EA? Plus the momentum/scripting etc, which is real and is just perplexing. Even the referees are gash -- the other day the last man slide tackled me from behind, well inside the box, only for me to get a free kick and him to get away without a card. I don't even know where to begin with that.

Then you've got the EA servers; not only do I need my connection to Live/PSN, but then I've got to stay connected to their hilariously unstable servers that go down randomly, boot you out of games you're winning only to give you a lovely 3-0 defeat and a message telling you not to quit in future.

Ultimately though, I love football and I love games, so I'll buy FIFA 15. And 16. And 17. I hate the game so much and it infuriates me, as it's such a backwards step from FIFA 3-5 years ago. But what can I do? Play PES? LOL.

Don't bottle it up RFUS...........Totally agree like....
 

They need to chnage career mode where you cant search for players by overall or you cant see if players contract is running out so you can offer him a deal to sign at the end of the year, does my head in
 
does it wind anyone else up aswell when the away end is in the wrong place? like when you play chelsea or tottenham there in the opposite end

Ruins the game for me

Some tit had Carroll up front with Hazard/Sterling on the wings, Cross after cross after cross with that lanky beaut winning every ball in the air
 
One thing that really winds me up about FIFA is that the goals all look the same apart from the two in Russia and South America.
 

I've got much better at the game lately but man is it frustrating being in perfect position to defend a cross and feeling utterly helpless as it goes in. I'm up to Division 2 on the Seasons mode with Belgium. Strong, strong team in that game.

Exactly. Lost 5-3 to someone with Mandzukic and Carroll up front in the WC mode. All of his goals were from corners. It's impossible to stop.

The game is 90% pace abuse

Pace abuse isn't nearly as bad as it was pre-2014. And in manager mode, if you play at any difficulty above amateur, its largely cancelled out. Crosses/Heading being broken is pretty bad though.
