There's no game quite like soccer, you think as you join your teammates for another brutal match. As you bask in the heat of the sun and the uproarious chants of the fans, it's almost overwhelming. But the promise of a win is nearly tangible in the air and you know what you have to do. Seconds after the kickoff you and 10 teammates — the best players in the world — claim possession and weave intricate patterns that decimate your opponents' defense. You deftly maneuver around another player and take the pass coming your way. One powerful kick is all it takes — the ball sails home past the goalie. Once more, you've proven you have what it takes to dominate the match.Step into the drama and action of soccer like never before with FIFA 15 as you experience all the furious competition of the game rendered in breathtaking realism. Battle the world's best players and witness their expressions of intensity, celebration and defeat detailed in lifelike accuracy with Emotional Intelligence modeling. Contend with the conditions of the pitch and realistic interactions between players, the ball and their environment with Physically Correct Contacts that re-create dribbles, touches, passes, shots and deflections in relation to the position of the body part or object with which they connect. Plunge into the physicality of head-to-head competition with intense Man-to-Man Battles that test your skills and endurance and establish dominance with Full-Body Defending. Move fluidly through opposing players on the path to the goal with responsive player control. Feel the heart-pounding rush at the heart of the game as you're surrounded by region-specific behaviors, cheers and chants from the crowd and insightful commentary with Dynamic Match Presentation. Immerse yourself in lifelike authenticity with grass that responds to the progress of a match with Living Pitches and Authentic Player visuals that ensure you don't miss a single detail. Take to the pitch with three friends in offline play or go online to compete with 21 other players. Victory is waiting to be seized — are you ready to make your move?

Not better than its predecessor
on January 12, 2015
Posted by: MacUser
If you are a big fan of FIFA like me, then I'm sorry, you will be a little bit disappointed with FIFA 15. Its not that the game is bad but they just made it a bit more confusing. Like for an instance, if you want to substitute players, you have to dig in so much to do that. It was so much easier in previous versions. That's just one issue that I mentioned, there are many more. I think they tried little too hard in order to give its users something different and more realistic than its previous versions. But I don't blame them completely because they do have to bring something different everytime so that the games don't seem same as their predecessor. That's why they say- its easy to earn a status but hard to maintain it!

Just love this bad guy!

This is the first ever console that I bought and owned. However, I've played many consoles like Xbox 360, PS1-PS3 at my cousin's but never owned any. Safe to say, this is one of the best purchases I've ever made. I'm not a hardcore gamer but it's been my dream to buy an Xbox since ages and I must say, I don't regret buying it. Controller is the best part of this console. I love the feel of holding it. 360 had already a good controller and its just more improvement of that. I like playing sports and racing games with a little liking towards mission games. Splinter cell is my favorite series. I'm just waiting for more games on this console as there aren't many yet as compared to 360. I really wish it was backward compatible so that we can play 360 games on it. I've heard rumors that they might make it so in future but not sure about it. For those who are bashing against Xbox One and praising PS4, why do you even bother playing it if you don't like it. Just get your P(O)S4 and move on!

Good but not the best!

I bought this tv on the Black Friday (2014) and it arrived after almost a week. I began to assemble the stand and the next thing I know 1 out of 4 screws wouldn't go all the way inside. I guess its because the plastic stand was bent from inside which wasn't allowing the screw to catch the threads. Anyhow, I proceeded without putting it in and finished the assembly. But when put the tv on the floor (I didn't have the tv stand that time), it was leaning to the front, maybe because of missing that 1 screw. So I had to put some cardboard underneath front two legs of the stand to make it stand straight. After a while I noticed there was a dent in the upper rim of the tv that you could only see when you are looking from the side of the tv. Obviously, it wasn't acceptable. So I decided to exchange it, went to bestbuy and had absolutely no problem in doing so. Got a brand new tv again and this time, I had no issue with the stand and its standing perfect. It still leans a little bit to the front but not as much as the previous tv which was ready to fall sooner or later. Picture quality is good. The only prominent issue that I found is the lag in using the remote while inside the youtube app. Like if you want to change the volume, it will take forever to do so. I don't know about other apps because I haven't used them yet but I found it while using youtube. The other thing that I didn't like is when you turn on the tv, you see a list of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen which covers a lot of your screen at bottom as well as at the top and you have to wait for few seconds until its gone but I can live with it. I'm sure there must be a setting to turn it off. I really like how the remote has backlight which you can turn on and off as you want. The tv has 4 HDMI ports, just as many I need. I've hooked up my dvr, xbox one, chromecast and still have 1 extra. Thats awesome. This tv has a lots of apps. I probably wont be using them all as I am a very light tv user but for the frequent or heavy users, its good deal. Its my first smart HDTV and overall I'm happy with it.

You step into the arena with your muscles gleaming in the light. Your opponent is trying to intimidate you with flips, splits, air punches and more, but you're not scared. The countdown ends and the battle starts. Within moments, a flurry of punches, kicks, special moves, roundhouses and more come at you — but you did your homework and are prepared. Just as a right hook lands and a leg sweep begins to take shape, you spot your chance. You jump to avoid the sweep and land a swift jab, sending your opponent back. As he staggers, you continue to duck, punch, kick and more. Just as he seems ready to counter your combo, you place a perfectly timed uppercut under his chin — sending him head over heels to the ground.With updated visuals, over-the-top action, adrenaline-pumping music and new Combo Breakers, the legendary fighting game franchise is back with Killer Instinct: Combo Breaker Pack. Select your fighter from a wild cast of combatants and step into the arena to battle it out in thrilling, heart-racing conflicts. Enjoy the fluid animations, distinctive tactics and flashy special attacks that are unique to each fighter. Arm yourself with the open-ended combo system to build huge combos as you battle your enemy, but beware — he or she will look for openings to break your string and turn the tides of battle. Featuring all eight fighters from Season 1, plus a bonus fighter from Season 2 via the included download code, you'll have plenty of combatants with which to head into battle. Are you ready for an all-new Killer Instinct experience?

It says it comes with all the season 1 characters
By StKnuckle
My kids like the game so I purchased it for them... box says it comes with all season one characters... They only have access to one dude... either something is wrong or it's harder than it needs to be to figure out.

Install them manually!
March 24, 2015
It does come with all Season 1 characters. A lot of people have had this problem of not getting them all. Luckily I didn't. You can manually install the characters if your console didn't do it for you. Once the disc is inside the console, go the box where a "white" disc is displayed. This box shows the disc currently inside the console. Hit the menu button and then go to "manage bundle" option. You can then install all Season 1 characters from there on. Hopefully this will solve your issue. I'm still surprised how it installed automatically for me!

What is it?
By Blondeee
I have no idea what this product is. They placed it by registers and my 4 year old saw it and wanted it. Thanks best buy for putting useless toys by the register.

There's a reason why they keep them there and fortunately for them, you were the victim. Great review though. Made me laugh :)
