FIFA 15: 10 Fan Demands Still Totally Ignored By EA

The future isn't always bright...

Each and every year EA releases a new instalment in their FIFA franchise which always manages to give us pangs of déjà vu as we are reminded of the previous year€™s game. This is just an inevitable part of a franchise which releases annually €“ it€™s simply a case of evolution over revolution. The question is whether the changes are enough to justify parting with our annual €˜subscription fee€™ or if it€™s the same game in a different year with slightly crisper looking grass. At EA€™s E3 press conference a few days ago we were given a trailer which offered a first glimpse of FIFA 15 and its new features. Once you get past the hyperbole and overly-sentimentalised narration the trailer opens with, there seems to be a lot to be excited about going into FIFA 15. The €˜Living Pitch€™, overhauled crowd visuals, and the intriguing player emotional intelligence upgrades all look particularly promising. However, realism doesn€™t always translate to a more enjoyable playing experience and many of the so-called gameplay additions divulged by EA at E3 seem to be obvious rebrands of features implemented in past instalments. The €˜Agility & Control€™ just seems like an extension of FIFA 13€™s complete dribbling, €˜Man-to-Man Battles€™ are like the player impact engine and the €˜Team Tactics€™ feature just sounds like going ultra-defensive or attacking. Many believe that by giving old features new titles they are trying to deceive fans into thinking they€™ve reinvented the wheel, when the reality is they€™ve just repainted it. There is a plethora of features, tweaks and alterations that the fans have been demanding which seem to have fallen on deaf ears. Though EA have hinted that they still have some exciting announcements to come, these pleas have €“ as yet €“ gone unanswered. Here are the 10 fan demands still totally ignored by EA:
