Speed-junkies are certain to be ultra-excited for the release of FIFA 15 as the fastest players available on the demo are some of the most dominant. When used correctly a players pace was of vital importance in FIFA 14 but the reduced acceleration meant that it took longer for them to hit full speed. Based on the demo, players on FIFA 15 have far less trouble exploding to maximum velocity. Many Liverpool fans were shocked when wonderkid Raheem Sterling (who has already started the 2014/15 season on top form) was given a fairly conservative overall rating of 80. They had hoped that the phenomenally talented 19-year-old would have been given a rather more substantial upgrade. However, thanks to his ridiculous acceleration and speed the youngster is an extremely dangerous player on FIFA 15, using his fleet-footedness to dart past sluggish defenders. The same is certainly true of the likes of Jesus Navas, Neymar and Aguero. For better or worse, EA Sports have given the power back to the speedsters in FIFA 15. Many veterans will doubtless complain that this shift will inevitably be exploited by FIFA-noobs. While this is true, the speedsters of the FIFA 15 demo are a treat to play with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2611WwREszU
