FIFA 15: 10 Fan Demands Still Totally Ignored By EA
3. Advantages
A gameplay element which certainly needed revision before EA ever started worrying about the need to feature Gerrard giving Sturridge a stern telling-off with every missed shot is the unreliable advantage system. Oftentimes your defender will intercept a through ball to an oppositions striker who was offside and youre ready to try and push the advantage at the other end. However, for seemingly no reason at all, you will not be given the opportunity to play advantage and the referee will force you to take a free kick for the offside, giving your opponent time to reset his formation. Not only does this interrupt the flow of gameplay but it can be horrendously frustrating if youre denied the opportunity to launch a potent counter-attack. Even more frustratingly, on more than one occasion we have been fouled, played the advantage and scored a goal only for the moronic referee to use his infinite wisdom to decide that it was in your teams interest to take the free-kick after all. To have a goal denied in this way particularly in online play is one of the most frustrating things in the whole game and desperately needed fixing. Fans have called for these sketchy advantage decisions to be fixed for multiple installments and thus far there seems to be no change.
