FIFA 15: Ultimate Team Edition

The FIFA 15 was part of a series where so much attention was paid to the physics of the ball that we had to get used to it all over again. In the Ultimate Team Edition this is especially noticeable: the projectile behaves like a real one, bounces off hard surfaces, flies off the field from an excessively strong blow, and on a wet field easily slips out of the goalkeeper’s gloves. Having the ball is no longer enough - you need to hold it. In addition to the “emotional” goalkeeper behavior and redesigned physics, the game grows with little things that add up to the picture: the grass is trampled at the goal and in the center of the field, the shadows of the players change depending on the position of the sun, and the weather affects not only the appearance, but also the result. The team's mood also works: a missed goal at the end can unsettle the players, and you have to calm them down on the fly. The FIFA 15: Ultimate Team Edition edition puts an emphasis on Collector Mode. The player receives kits to strengthen the squad, cosmetics and additional opportunities for building his own team: cards, chemistry between players, tournaments and seasonal challenges, for which they give rewards. It takes a long time to figure this out, but this is where the game reveals itself completely. Goalkeeping in this part has become a separate topic of conversation: goalkeepers play more confidently on exits and reflect blows with their bodies, but can still unsuccessfully hit the ball directly at the oncoming forward. The standards have been carefully thought out: playing free kicks and corners allows you to prepare a combination in advance, rather than hitting at random. The game also pleases with little things like the reaction of the stands to dangerous moments - the arena begins to make noise at the right second. Separately, it is worth mentioning the real-time control: switching between players, changing tactics right during the match and adjusting roles - all this makes the meeting look like coaching, and not just a game with hands. For those who like not just to kick the ball, but to build a team and follow its life, this publication is especially suitable.
