Pass in your corners

Real, Barca or Bayern, like every year.

Make sure you have a beer or 2 before you play, so you can claim that is the reason you're losing.

If all else fails, blame the controller.

Costa is mental on the game just FYI

and also get a fast striker with decent dribbling and you can run past their whole team

Fifa 15 is poo

I'll be baked, but then so will everybody.


Monthe, who would you suggest then?

My tactics

Pass - pass - pass - eventually a gap will open up and you will score. I always score what my friends call "weasel" goals by passing it across the face of goal.

Secondly - when they have the ball between your midfield and defence use your midfielders to pressure. DO NOT bring a defender out to meet the striker. It leaves a lot of space that the AI does not cover properly.

Thirdly - when through on goal do not power up your shot. I find (anyone else) that the keepers pull worldies out the bag when your one on one and hit a hard shot at them whereas if you just tap shoot lightly the ball trickles past them and you score.

Choose teams who are fast and strong - Real and Bayern and to some extent Chelsea are good this year. I've always found Barca too weak.

Winning is winning.

Tips?

Get out a bit more often.

Quick passing is much easier than previous versions. Your other players make much more intelligent moves in to space and move on after passing without having to use the "Brendan Rodgers" (Pass and Move) button. Also, don't use L1+Triangle - it is no longer a lofted through ball that drops over the back of the defence but more of a firm mid-height ball. Using Triangle (through ball) for most passes is fine as the players are much more mobile, and by passing slightly ahead you can make more progress forward. Look for the long, wide through ball if you are in and around the middle of the pitch - often the opponents defenders and midfielders will be quite central whilst your winger is looking to move on out wide. From here, if you aren't able to cut onto your preferred foot make a dash into the box for the byline, pull backs are much easier on 15 and you will often have 2/3 players waiting for the ball in the middle. Also, shooting is fooking difficult (maybe because I am on FUT and only have non-rare gold players?) so I always find a space on the edge or just inside the box and finesse - works a treat. Tackling is quite hard and it feels (when you first play it, although you get used to it) that the reaction of defenders is slow, yes it is a pain but you can use it to your advantage when attacking - quick changes of direction, especially useful when trying to get your player on to their preferred foot can open up a lot of space as your opponent throws his defenders all over the place.

Fack! Didn't realise how much I'd written...

Let's be honest here. If you're playing in a FIFA 15 tournament and don't own the game, chances are you're going to get thrashed by someone who's been on it everyday since August

Isle of Manc

At first it is insanely hard, as it is every year, getting used to the new version but it becomes 2nd nature after a couple of weeks.

However, it didn't come out until end of Sept...

Not really, after about 4 games you know how it all works. If you've played any Fifa game since about 2005 you'll be fine.

Much more difficult getting used to it against mates that have had it for a few weeks, as opposed to playing it in your own time. Mainly because you won't get a sniff of the ball.

Only 2 or 3 of us have played the game on a next gen console.

Same, or when I'm a couple of goals up, I'll literally only pass it around for the rest of the game. Wont go anywhere near their players and just tap it around.

Defending is such w4nk on FIFA 15.

From kick off you can just hold right trigger and run straight to the oppositions goal and tap it in and the defenders can't do a thing about it.

20 years of making a game and this is what they can produce, well in EA, well in.
