Particularly when run on next gen hardware, FIFA 15 feels like a significantly smoother package than FIFA 14 ever was even though as of yet weve only experienced it in demo form. The controls feel significantly tighter and more responsive while the graphics have been enhanced. However, EA Sports havent been able to shake a particular ghoul which has haunted the franchise for years the widespread occurrence of bugs and glitches. The FIFA demo has barely been out for a week and already scores of irate fans have taken to the internet to vent their frustration that EA Sports have once again failed to turn out a bug-free video game. Faulty goal line technology, players attempting to take a throw in without the ball and pitch-invading cameramen are but a few of the many glitches which gamers have complained about. Does this necessarily hamper the experience? In our opinion, no it does not. In football you have to accept certain inherent truths Lionel Messi will score goals until the day he starts drawing a pension, Joey Barton will always make ridiculous comments and FIFA will never be without its glitches. Rather than complaining about it, we advise that you just learn to embrace the bugs and have a chuckle.
