FIFA 15 brings football to life in stunning visual detail so fans can experience the emotion and intensity of football like never before. Fans and media that have had a chance to play early versions of FIFA 15 have expressed their enjoyment. Game Informer (USA) explains, “The game looks gorgeous, with the lighting giving matches a great look, and includes some good-looking player faces.” And The Guardian (England) describes the immersion of the game, “FIFA 15 is doing what Electronic Arts has always wanted to do – it is looking like the football we watch on our televisions, and it is playing in a way that makes us feel like we belong on the pitch and not in the stands or on the sofa.”

David Rutter, Vice President and General Manager of EA SPORTS FIFA said, “We believe we have built a game in FIFA 15 that delivers the most immersive and responsive gameplay experience ever in the FIFA franchise, and we can’t wait for the millions of fans to start their season and experience all of the innovations.”
