Overall the game is good and if you are on the fence about buying it, I would say go for it if you want a realistic experience but don't expect it to be fun all the time, as always the controls and dynamics can be frustrating. I'Il break down into the good and the bad. The Good: - the new training features in career mode where you actually play the mini games that would pop up before matches is a much welcomed change. - Addition of the womens team was done well. Although you can't play with them against the men's teams or in some online game modes it only allows these teams to be better enjoyed. - Dribbling the ball is more realistic than ever making offense more enjoyable. -Goals are much more satisfying albeit less frequent. Bad: - The game is much slower from previous titles. - Defense is harder to play than ever before, because its easier to dribble the defense feels much less effective, I often find that I should have taken the ball away easily and yet they managed to get away too easily - Unfortunately, slide tackles are still weak and nearly every player regardless of ability is able to stay up after being slide tackled. - Passing and through balls don't feel as effective and crisp anymore, often times I find the wrong person is receiving the ball or tracking it down. As a veteran FIFA player I know this is nothing new to the series but I feel that this year it hasn't been fixed yet although recent patches might have helped with this a little bit. - There is only one gamemode that isn't developed all the way for the womens teams. - The introduction of the new FUT mode is interesting but feels like EA is trying to charge consumers to play the game they already bought unlike the traditional FUT, to access this mode you need to pay with an excessive amount of coins or real money. This is a new trend in many titles and it is highly unwelcome. ( I paid for a full game and I don't want to be inhibited in my ability to play it without paying more money)
