FIFA 15 Demo: 10 Reactions You Need To Know

6. Goalkeepers Have Finally Received Some Attention

The men between the sticks have long needed some attention and FIFA 15 seems to have gone a long way in improving our shot-stoppers of choice (although, they certainly aren€™t perfect). The brains behind EA Sports FIFA series have always said that the coding behind our Wojciech Szczesnys, Manuel Neuers and Claudio Bravos is some of the hardest and most complicated €“ hence the regular, and frustrating, decision making during FIFAs gone by. €˜Keepers diving aimlessly, kicking it instead of picking it up and running round like headless chickens certainly hasn€™t been eradicated but it is certainly a lot less frequent. Saves feel more natural and appropriate in the circumstances €“ this certainly makes you feel like you were thwarted by a world-class goalkeeper rather than some dodgy computer programming. Improvements to the goalkeepers seems to have also taken away their ability as immovable objects that, unless you run at a certain speed and angle, you wouldn€™t be able to slot the ball past them. Now, however, you can finish through the likes of Joe Hart€™s legs and one-one-ones may see the resulting save fall kindly to your supporting striker.
