Is FIFA In It's Final Death Throws ?

Firstly, let me state, my stats in this version are very poor in relation to my level in 14. That's in a major part, due to the fact i'm now playing between 3 and 4 am my time, so i connect with S America and Vladivostok, yes, go figure.
Latency between geographical locations is a serious problem, we all know.
I'm surely not in that group, but even the top players in the world can be beaten by a new player, hacking someones wi-fi in the middle of the desert.
When i encounter this, i just give up, quit. I've never had to do this before, but to be honest, i don't put up with shit food, i throw it in the bin, so why should i waste my time with impossible connections. life is too short...
However, what is more important, is the fact that EA have dumbed down 15.
Soo many balls bounce off your player and into the path of the other side's attacker, passes go awry for no particular reason, and inummerable other mutations of deliberate programming....i could go on.
I'm pondering if EA have decided to dumb down the game, following current educational criteria that " no one must come second " after all, we can't have anyone losing can we !! Pff. So non skilled players must not be allowed to lose, give these new players to Fifa, every chance.... and more, otherwise they might quickly lose interest , throw the game out of the window and actually go outside and kick a football.... To my mind, the programming now resembles that used in old arcade game machines, need i say more...
I'm close to getting to the point where i will throw in the towel on 20 years of playing what was once a credible game. However, please keep buying the game, as i'm not about to surrender my fiscal interest.
Comments welcomed...

So you're wondering if the 25 million gamers who buy FIFA every year are going to suddenly stop buying it, just because you think this year's game is a dumbed down piece of crap?

I don't think so, no.

FYI, FIFA and all EA sports games are and have always been dumbed down for the arcade gaming masses. Have you never played Madden or NHL?

The worlds biggest and most popular "Sporting & football" game franchise dying.

Ummmm no. Not a chance.

Fifa is the WoW of football games... it's the Apple of football games... it's the Starbucks of football games.... think I've made my point!

there are two football games, so it is obvious EA would be the top available
but only due to licensing that konami doesn't have.

neither of the two games are very impressive and lack true simulation.

fifa is a fast pased arcade game - pes is a real football simulation and the closest you'll get to the gameplay being like your watching a real game on tv!!!

I sold pes15 as i thought the gameplay was not enough, I thought pes lacked depth and the commentary is unbearably annoying after two months, Also the licenses and lack of realism made up my mind to buy fifa15! BUT my god i was wrong as the gameplay on fifa is ridiculous it's impossible to defend against the AI for whatever your skill level 'mines legendary' So it just becomes stupidly fast attacking play where whoever scores 5 or 6 wins, it's simply a commercial money making scheme for kiddie's who love the arcade sh@t aspect of it. Now if fifa kept the gameplay in the demo it would be epic and konami would go bust but why would they do that because then you would have a serious game for serious football gamer's and they would lose all of their amateur kids who wouldn't be able to play it! , pes15 is so much better in terms of gameplay it's just too bad they forgot everything else off the pitch with it.

Throes. The expression is "death throes". Stop playing FIFA and pick up a book.

Anyway, I'm inclined to agree with matthewjohn in that PES still feels more like football on the screen, but the lack of depth does hurt it somewhat.

Thankyou.

BUT when i wrote this last saturday on the day i first played fifa15 , this was before i knew of the correct sliders in setting's. And now i can say fifa isn't miles behind pes in terms of gameplay now, plus throw in all the realism into the pot with it and fifa15 is a much more enjoyable game and worth keeping. :Carlos*o:
