FIFA 15 kicks the realism up a gear with new video

As you’d expect, EA are punting FIFA 15 as their most-advanced and realistic FIFA to date. We’d damn well hope so!

The visual enhancements include back-end upgrades like an overhauled lighting engine lend player models a more realistic appearance. Breathing players and shifting hair make the game feel more alive from the grass up, while a pitch that visibly degrades over the match and moving advertisements bring their surroundings closer to real-life.

“We want our fans to feel the highs and lows of the drama that is football, and experience the emotional rollercoaster that plays out during a match,” FIFA executive producer David Rutter said during the game’s reveal.

The FIFA 15 is set for launch in September on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii, 3DS and Vita. EA says “not all game features are available on all gaming platforms.”
