As is to be expected, some rare ragdoll glitches can happen from time to time, but they’re very rare this time around. This does wonders for FIFA 15’s sense of realism, as every play feels unique thanks to fewer instances of canned animations being used. With better animations also comes a greater sense of unpredictability to the way both the players and the ball move. Everything from dribbling to simply running feels weighty and properly impactful, giving FIFA 15 a heightened sense of realism. While the AI might leave something to be desired, the same can’t be said about the new and improved animations.
However, there’s an area where FIFA gets an edge over PES, and that is in its astounding presentation. This time, however, EA has promised a revamped AI, fueled by the extra horsepower provided by the new generation of consoles.Įven though there’s a certain improvement in the computer-controlled players, the AI opponents are still leagues behind what we’ve seen in games like Pro Evolution Soccer 2015. While AI-controlled players on your team usually work well enough, the same couldn’t be said about the players on the opposing team.
