A new trailer came out for FIFA 15 yesterday.
All 20 Premier League grounds are on the new game. I'm quite gutted that we aren't in the Premier League as we would have been able to see The Valley in its full digital glory.

lets just hope they have finally sorted the referee out so he is not one sided in the computers favour every match
The stadiums might be a nice touch, but you only really see them at the beginning............
Ideally you'd have a camera angle similar to that used in real life, but of course, that f***s with your head when trying to play normally. However, I do like getting my players to celebrate in front of their own fans, and winning away at The Meccano Set Selhurst Park will be a bit sweeter for it.
Ultaimtely none of that impresses me. When they figure out how to make attacking players go for the ball in a goalmouth scramble, rather than run back to the halfway line, or improve the player positioning for cut backs, or at least make the goalkeepers remotely realistic, then I'd be impressed. Sadly, annual iterations of a game that sells billions regardless of quality, means that EA will never push the envelope for what is possible.
The project lead on FIFA said "we don't need Xbox One yet, we haven't pushed the current gen to the limit" was a damning indictment of how EA approach the game. To have not reached the limits of a console's capabilities in just shy of 10 years of trying is pathetic.
The cost of outgrowing the hardware in two years would be immense in terms of research and design. They also risk alienating customers if the game is so different from one year to the next as they might not like it or be able to just switch it on and play.
The fact is if people want to play a football game then Fifa is the only real option out there, it'll get brought no matter how good, bad or different it is.
