Never knew there was a closed beta. Eager for feedback from those who were admitted under EA's velvet rope.

I hope there is a bit more build up of offense from the CPU, and it'd be nice to see more balls in the air from them too. That's the two gripes I have about FIFA.

They added the official Bundesliga tv style presentation this year as well. That's pretty awesome. No doubt that this is the game I'm looking forward to the most.

What do you have now? If PS4 you're good. If no next gen and you like soccer, fifa and pes look to be stellar on next gen this year. So yes if you're a big soccer gamer.

Trade in deal at BB.

$20 for FIFA 15 and a $10 coupon for preordering.

Will definitely do the trade in but have time only for one eas game.

Maybe if they do a buy 2 get 1 free sale and I could use the gift cards from the madden and FIFA trade ins.

Demo is fantastico!!! Setting up a New Zealand account was quite simple. I'm most likely skipping NHL 16 and going with this game instead.

There's actually some build up from the CPU, which has been so needed for a long long time. They will pass back, they will put the ball in the air a heck of a lot more than they did in '15 or any other version for that matter, they will cross the ball in the air, etc. It's just such a nice upgrade, and the best Fifa I've ever played.

The player models look better, although in cut scenes, they still move a little robotically and awkward. It's slightly better than '15, but not by a whole lot. The gameplay, which is most important looks very smooth and fluid. The animations look improved and even more realistic.

I enjoyed the demo. The AI is much smarter as the CPU's D collapses quickly on you as you try to build up your play. And that's exactly what the CPU does too surprisingly when they attack, it's not so much a north- south game anymore, they do pass the ball wisely and even backfield to start a new play. Having said that the passing into space is still not as rewarding as PES, but I'd like to play a few more games and change it to 'slow' and see if there's any difference.

Basically had a couple of games played on Pro and WC levels and with default settings. Would like to see more errant passes from the CPU on WC level as they will have majority of possession as you try to break their strategy, but that's when lowering their passing slider a couple of notches may work.

Tried to pull a few skills moved and I wasn't as successful as in 15. The crossing feels like venom and has been improved IMO with headers being accurate again.

Will try the girls later tonight, there are subtle improvements in the game, the most noticeable on the build up play from the opponent, the AI just supports midfield better, and smarter D.

Didn't notice as much of a visual difference to 15, which is still beautiful.

Not the biggest soccer fan but my kids play for real and they love this game plus its a blast head to head. Got in on the best buy deal.
$22 on the fifa 15 trade as a gamers club member (best $30 value in a long time), plus $10 off coupon, plus 20 percent off new game as a gamer club member and I believe the total cost is $16-17. Same deal for Madden last month. Hard to beat.

Very underwhelmed by the demo. Gameplay was very boring. Played ps4 first and found it slower than Xbox. Xbo is a bit faster gameplay which makes it a little more exciting but overall just a boring feel all around.

Cpu ai def better. They defend better and play smarter offense.

Was more Impressed with pes demo. Maybe I just need a break from Fifa this year.
