They may have capitulated in the World Cup at the hands of both Germany and the Netherlands but Brazil will inevitably be atrociously overpowered on FIFA 15. It takes just minutes playing the FIFA 15 demo to see how much more explosive acceleration is. The players with high acceleration ratings can now hit top-speed almost instantly where on FIFA 14 it took them a while to get going. This change in dribbling will benefit some teams more than others, though none will benefit more than Brazil. The fact of the matter is that the side which flopped in the World Cup are possibly the fastest team in the game indeed even the duo of Thiago Silva and David Luiz are significantly quicker than nearly all rival centre backs. This speed is shared by the whole team, with the likes of Danny Alves, Ramires, Bernard, Marcelo, Lucas, Hulk, Neymar, Oscar and Willian all boasting impressive pace. On FIFA 14 Brazil were extremely enjoyable to use because of this universal pace and the improved acceleration on FIFA 15 means that they will likely be one of the games most overpowered teams.
