A new suite of ball physics to improve the realistic movement of the ball was introduced to last years game. The aforementioned point-of-contact system means that every interaction with the ball undergoes a series of mind-boggling calculations put together by the coders at EA Canada. To us non-geniuses, this improvement basically means that the momentum, direction and spin of the ball is far more physically realistic than in FIFA 14. The ball is shown to move incredibly fluidly in the trailer. Particular highlights include Atlético Madrid captain Raúl García slicing one wide of the post, the ball spinning uncontrollably due to the poor contact, and worryingly for Englands World Cup effort Luis Suárez swerving a beautiful free-kick over Joe Hart. Thankfully we are reminded of the fact that Liverpools ridiculously talented striker has had issues putting it past Hart in real-life. The improvement may be subtle but the balls movement irrefutably now looks more natural; lets not forget that football is essentially all about a ball bouncing up-and-down and side-to-side so this addition is deceptively pivotal.
