As you patiently wait for the 1706 MB of FIFA 15 demo to download its hard to not primarily be excited to play as each of the 8 available teams and forget about EA Sports introduction of all 20 Premier League grounds. However, after starting your first game you are quickly reminded about this exciting addition as you see Anfield for the first time the single stadium available in the demo. From the pre-game camera which sits beneath the iconic This Is Anfield banner to how recognisable the famous home of Liverpool FC is, it is evident how much work EA Sports have put into capturing the essence of the Premier League grounds. If you choose to play as Liverpool (sadly sans Luis Suarez) you will also hear the spine-tingling Youll Never Walk Alone chant. The vastly improved detail in the stadium makes us anxious to experience the remaining 19 Premier League grounds. EA Sports are very open in their intention to make a football simulation, not just an amusing video game the addition of these stadiums and the impressive attention to detail is certainly a major step towards realising their goals.
