The might of the tackle may have been increased for FIFA 15 but several dribbling improvements may mean that the offensive-player still has a few tricks to beat his tackler after all, we dont want every match to end as a bore draw! When we are shown Zlatan Ibrahimovi proficiently skipping past a reckless tackle from Neven Suboti, it is clear that several improvements have been made to heighten the realism of the dribbling this development has been confirmed by EA. The new point-of-contact system means that every touch of the players boot on the ball will affect its trajectory while a greater emphasis will be placed on a players agility. The improved locomotion system enables the roster of talent to turn on the ball more accurately, allowing them to shield the ball from a would-be tackler. This improved ball control also translates to the subtle detail of left-footed players having superior control when dribbling on their left side. This means the likes of Messi, Robben and Bale will now be most effective when they are used to take advantage of their favoured left boot.
