FIFA 15

[Dan]

Let's talk FIFA 15!

Gamescom is next week and they'll be talking about the online modes - Pro Clubs and Ultimate Team - so it's worth keeping an eye on Gamescom if you play either of them.

Apparently we're getting an announcement of new PL stadiums today at 3:30pm. Villa Park has been announced already on the FIFA Facebook page:

I hope by adding more, others don't have to be sacrificed. There's already a fair amount of PL stadiums - would be nice to have them all in one day.

[TCO]

It's a bit ridiculous that they don't have them all in already, that Premier League All-Stars game on PS1 had them all. Stadiums have always been threadbare in FIFA The selection is so small yet they have them rendered already, I don't see why they didn't lump some of the World Cup ones from 2010 and 2014 in.

In other hilarious news, the Ultimate edition for PS4 and Xbox One is going to cost €79.99 over here. I could import it and get it for less than €50 from Canada, including P+P if I wanted to.

Game prices are spiraling out of control at the moment and something needs to change that. PS3 games are more expensive now than they were 5 years ago and PS4/One games are more expensive every time I go into the shop.

Never seen Villa Park look so beautiful.

I'm still waiting for FIFA to re-introduce indoor mode. As well as having some classic teams (most other sports games have this. Not sure if this is to do with licensing or what) and also to pinch PES' random selection mode. I miss the days of choosing a few teams and getting a random selection of their players. Such a great mode for multiplayer.

£52 for Ultimate team edition in the UK

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Yeah, Amazon have it at £52, which whilst steep, is pretty standard, and you're gonna get shit tons worth of hours of gameplay out of it, so I'm never fussed.

[Gazz]

What's the point in adding Villa Park as a PL stadium when it won't be in time for FIFA 16?

Also, since I don't work nights anymore, I'd like to announce my probable Sam Hutchinson style resurrection from career ending injury.

[TCO]

Yeah our prices over here are much worse than yours, it's £63 in your money for it. I'll be getting the standard edition anyway, never took to Ultimate Team.

Villa Park being in FIFA might be the thing that brings me to next gen, no joke on nothing.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Half the reason I'm excited for FIFA this year is because it's next gen, I want to see for myself what the step up is like.

[DavidMarrio]

I'm just made up they have possession tackles in. It was always a lottery in where the ball would end up no matter what type of tackle you made.

I hope they sort out red cards though, too many times I've made an amazing last ditch tackle yet get a red card despite clearly getting the ball.

I always liked that sometimes the tackles were off. I mean I'd be fuming when it happened to me but it adds a bit of realism. Wouldn't mind having a low error rate for offsides or other decisions too so that it gives the officials a bit of human error. Though that'd likely cause an actual murder at some point!

You've played next-gen FIFA at mine. And lost!

You beat me too, but we won't go into that.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Yeah, but that doesn't count because I didn't win.

Except for the times I did!

[Baddar]

But, if we talk about the times you went 2-0 down - that'd be what...pretty much every single game we played?

I do propose a FIFA session at some point before the release of 15 though, with Club teams this time!

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Yeah, if it's not a comeback, it's not done right. But yeah, think I was 2-0 down every single game

I'd be up for another session once the season kicks off, finish exams on the 22nd so I'm sure there'll be a game after then worth watching as my excuse to visit

[Baddar]

FIFA FRIEND!

EDIT: Mon 25th - City v Liverpool @ 8pm.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Now that sounds like a great excuse to me.

[King Ellis]

Oh come on, this is the bloody FIFA thread, not the Baddar and Jericode talk about their date thread. Go make your own topic. :/

[Summers]

Seriously? How is Nerf supposed to see about the god damn updates and details if you two are blathering on?!
