![]() It actually really bolsters the atmosphere of matches, and is especially cool when playing career mode. Which means that all 20 League stadiums are included, along with real life referees, chants, graphics, and advertising hoardings. Rather more significantly though, to British FIFA fans at least, is the news that the English Premier League is now the ‘Official Sports Technology Partner’ of EA. And, significantly, the Turkish Süper Lig also makes a welcome return to the series (said no one ever). There are 33 full officially licensed leagues in the game, including the top four English divisions. Whereas Pro Evo has always been a bit like the non-athletic drip in the primary school playground whose Mum would only buy him knock-off trainers from Shoezone, FIFA was the cool kid who bought his Nike Total 90 astro turfs exclusively from JD Sports. Loads and loads of licenses.įIFA has always been the football game with all the licenses. These are minor gripes however, easy to ignore when you take into consideration the improvements in lighting, weather effects and player movement. It might just be something in the water at White Hart Lane though, as young defender Eric Dier also appears bald before his time. For example, in the real world Christian Eriksen has a head of beautifully blonde boy-band hair, whereas in FIFA 15 he’s been treated to an incredibly severe receding hairline, looking less the Backstreet Boys and more the severely Backcombed Boy. In fairness, not all the models are perfect. ![]() That’s the sort of realism we want and need. Wayne Rooney, for example, looks fantastic in his decidedly un-fantastic pugnaciously pug-faced way just like in real life, he runs around with his red cheeks like a neglected sun dried tomato left forgotten at the back of the salad draw. EA boasted before the release that they’ve spent a lot of time remodelling face maps, and you can really tell. If polygons and pixels are your thing, you’ll definitely be getting some kicks out of FIFA 15. I’m not going to bother reviewing the game as you more or less know what you’re going to get anyway, so here are 5 reasons why you should just go out and buy the thing. Although in 10 years’ time you really won’t be worrying about your second year module results or whatever, whereas you may still be battling away against your mate on FIFA 25, so these things are all relative. ![]() Uni life can be tough at the best of times, what with the lack of good food and an extortionate seven to twenty contact hours a week on your timetable, so it totally makes sense to invest in a product that will guarantee you some good times, albeit at the expense of your degree. Does FIFA 15 really rival such satisfactory ways of spending your hard-earned parent’s money?ĭuh, of course it does. Yes, I know my original intention when coming to University was to perhaps get a first and to make a few friends, but instead I’m a master of the 3-5-2 set to ‘defensive’ mode and for that I’m not sorry.īut the big question on everybody’s lips (or at least the lips of every mildly to comprehensively socially awkward sports fan on campus) is should you stump up the extra forty odd quid for the next iteration of the game? Let’s all be honest, for most of us (yeah so I’m not looking at the babied Bluebell bourgeoisie here), forty quid is a lot of money providing for at least one guaranteed good night out at a hospitable and exciting local nightclub, or paying for about half a terms worth of a UniRider ticket for the ever reliable and expertly driven U1 bus service. ![]() Playing to the extent that you can no longer watch a real life game of football without visualising the opportune moment for that game breaking lobbed through ball. No, it’s also about playing so much FIFA that your social life begins to entirely revolve around online multiplayer matches against an endless amount of twelve year old Liverpool fans. Uni isn’t all about squalid student living and repeating your same old night out for 10 weeks in a row, you know.
