I know how you feel. I can't stand FIFA 15 on Xbox 1. Everything seems slower. It's like they set up teams of 20 brilliant game developers to make the corner flags move and to add in all this stuff you'll just angrily skip when you get tired of them (72 hours after you first saw it) and gave the job of improving the defenders (who suffer from fits every time the ball is passed), improving passing (which is crap in general) and everything else that makes you feel like you've a team of alcoholics who just want the final whistle to blow so they can crawl back into the dressing room to Barry the intern to fix on the Friday they all take off to prank call PES.Been playing it on my brothers PS4 after my friend lent me it. First time I've had am proper go of it on next gen. Have only played about 15 games on career, its a crock of shite so far!
I've found that benefiting from stupid, massively unrealistic collisions and ricochets to be a far far better way of creating chances than playing good football.
The defending system - which was the thing I was most looking forward to being improved - is still an absolute joke. The slide tackle has improved I think. However the stand tackle is still a completely useless and redundant feature.
AI is retarded both, your players and the CPU alike. The amount of times the ball breaks free on the edge of my oppositions box with one of my players nearby and they just fecking stand there. And the CPU just ballhog and always seem to score these totally unnatural looking goals. Wild spastic swipes at the ball that invariably go either arrowing into the top corner, or if its a cross straight into the path of an awkward, unnatural header.
Anyone feel my pain?
I'll only play it on the 360. I've deleted a UT season half way through so I can start again on the 360 because I can't stand playing it anymore on the XBox 1. That said, I barely play that. I normally play COD Advanced Warfare now. Every now and then, some upcoming big game will make me want to play a football game and I'll be suckered in again. 2 hours later, I'll say "screw it, I'd be better off playing top trumps".
I tried playing FIFA 09 or 10 a while back and it was great. I noticed that it was easy by comparison. The slower passing in the later years meant that when I went back to 10, I just played through every team on any difficulty. I swear this game gets a little worse every year. The trick is to use its many issues to your advantage better than anyone else.
