FIFA 15: 10 Fan Demands Still Totally Ignored By EA

9. Goalkeeper AI

EA have given goalkeepers an incredibly bad name to those fans who play their game more than they watch real football. Indeed if you based your opinion of goalies on FIFA, you would think they were an incredibly stupid bunch who often seem to inexplicably want their team to lose. On more than one occasion every FIFA fanatic has been left scratching their head as to why the AI-controlled goal keeper has done something detrimental to the team. One of the more irksome examples of a goalkeeper being brain-dead is when they are running for an inbound ball on the edge of their box. Rather than showing an ounce of intelligence and picking the ball up they will often boot the ball down the field. As they are running and off-balance, this powerful kick can result in a slice which sends the ball far into the air but not tremendously far downfield, meaning that an opponent€™s striker has been gifted with the chance to punish you for your goalie€™s stupidity. Sadly, this is certainly not the only example frequently seen of the last bastion of defence acting like a court jester. EA need to stop frustrating their fans by giving such poor AI to such a pivotal player €“ they may have promised emotional intelligence but now we need to see some actual intelligence.
