Description:
Fans of soccer (or football, if that's your thing) the world over should head immediately to their app repository of choice. After a short test run as a geo-restricted beta, FIFA 15 Ultimate Team has arrived on Android and iOS, (Update: and now Windows Phone). It has all the stars and teams you know from real life, but now they'll actually do what you tell them, unlike all those times you screamed at the TV.
Upon starting the game, you get to pick a team to get your starting players. There is a strong management aspect to this game, so you can trade and move players around to create your perfect team. The main draw is actually playing the games, of course, but you can go the classic team manager route and just simulate the matches.
Most players will want to actually get their hands dirty and control the action. The controls are similar to past FIFA games, but have been tweaked to be more forgiving. There's a virtual thumbstick on the left that controls the player you have selected. Off to the right are buttons for pass, sprint, and shoot. The longer you press those buttons the more power you'll use. Thus, taking a shot on goal from 10 feet away with a full power meter will probably cause you to overshoot.
FIFA 15 seems mostly good about automatically switching you to the best player when on defense. You can also manually switch to the closest player to the ball at any time with the handy skip button. The button cluster for defense also allows you to slide and generally harass the other player.
Visually, this is a solid game with optimizations for tablets. The character models are sufficiently detailed and the physics of ball interaction look and feel accurate (well, accurate for a video game). The one place the graphics don't stand up is when the players get very close to the camera in replays. Their flat, emotionless faces don't quite cut it.
FIFA 15 Ultimate Team is free to download, but there is a system of in-app purchases based on "FIFA points" that are used throughout the game. It's possible to play FIFA 15 without paying anything, but it won't be nearly as much fun.
For those who want to experience FIFA 15 on the big screen, EA Sports FIFA 15 is also now available on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PC. Buy it in retail stores or as a digital download via Origin. A version for the Wii, Nintendo 3DS, and PlayStation Vita is also in the works.
