FIFA Infinity The Absolute FIFA Site
In this post we will list all the FIFA 15 features that were revealed at Gamescom yesterday plus other news that we’ve gathered from the web since last week. Lets start with the new FIFA 15 features that were presented at Gamescom, shall we?
Next Gen Goalkeeper
Goalkeepers have been completely rewritten for FIFA 15 with over 50 new save animations, improved AI and a new, realistic player model. Our Next Gen goalkeepers are more responsive and fluid when they move and look and think like real-life keepers.
The main changes to goalkeepers are:
Improved reactions
Keepers now read and react to gameplay situations, adjusting their movement if going in the wrong direction, and making last-ditch saves by reaching back or throwing out a leg. FIFA 15 also brings a new level of realism to the way keepers react to shots that are difficult to handle. Where previously goalkeepers would catch most balls they touched, you’ll now see a new range of authentic deflections and tips as keepers try to make a save.
Better decisions
Goalkeepers make better decisions in one-on-ones and when tracking the ball on crosses, corners and through balls towards their box. Keepers in FIFA 15 command their area with more awareness and intelligence than ever before.
Goalies will also read the flight of balls and you’ll see more variety in how they react to swerving, dipping or turbulent shots.
New Ways to Score
With keepers more mobile, it opens up new scoring opportunities for attackers. Your opponent recognizes goalkeeper movement and will attempt shots back across goal, nutmegs or quick shots which will leave no time to react.
FIFA 15 Ultimate Team
Let’s take a look at the new additions coming to FIFA 15: Ultimate Team:
Concept Squads
Think you know what would make a winning team? Concept Squads is a powerful new squad planning tool that allows you to plan future squads using the entire FUT player catalogue. Use Concept Squads to plan your next Transfer Market buys, find replacements for players, and test out different Chemistry combinations.
Friendly Seasons
The new Friendly Seasons mode lets you challenge your friends in a 1 v 1 version of the fan favourite Seasons format and track your stats. Win seasons to earn the current title holder position and the bragging rights that come with it!
Loan Players
In FUT 15 you’ll be able to try out some of the most highly sought after players in the game right away by signing them to your club on loan! Sign loan players for the set amount of matches and use them wisely during their loan contract’s duration to win a big Tournament Final or get the decisive win to clinch a Season Title.

New Base Attribute
PHY, which stands for “Physical”, is the new sixth base attribute in FIFA 15 that will be featured on FUT player items. It is a measure of key physical traits such as Strength, Stamina, and Jumping. PHY is important to FIFA 15 and FUT because it will help you determine a player’s ability to win physical battles across the pitch and keep their fitness throughout.
Although Heading was a great attribute to judge players by, PHY will have a more significant impact during a match. By paying attention to the players’ PHY attribute you’ll be better prepared to build your dream team in FUT 15 and beyond.
FIFA 15 – Career Mode
One of FIFA’s most popular modes continues to improve as managing and finding players becomes even more authentic.
- Player Growth – FIFA 15 has a more realistic system for player growth and potential. Highly rated older players won’t retire as quickly and high potential players grow faster if you give the opportunity to do so.
- Global Transfer Network – Improved scouts will now automatically recognize squad weaknesses and suggest replacement players based on the team you want to build.
- Intuitive Player Search – A new player search screen lets you find players faster and better suited to your team. Player names populate as you search.
- Storylines and Presentation – Accurate and in-depth analysis around players, team and leagues during the match and throughout the mode as you progress your career.
FIFA 15 – Team Management
FIFA 15 gives you a brand new way to manage squads and team sheets across all game modes.
Customise up to six different Team Sheets per club and alter your strategy based on your next opponent, the changing tactics in-game and fitness of your players. Get your favorite team playing the way *you* want them to play.
Team Sheets are available in Career Mode, Match Day (Kick-Off), Online Friendlies, and Tournaments.
Instructions
Up to five attacking and defending player instructions can be applied to each of the ten outfield players. These instructions let you manage the attacking runs and defensive positions players take on the pitch and gives you deeper customisation options for how your team sets up.
Formations
Preset formations for any of your custom squads and pick the best to take on your next opponent.
Roles
Set roles like captain, set-piece and penalty takers for each of your squads.
Tactics
Set a default Team Tactic to each of your Team Sheets so your gameplan is locked before hitting the pitch. Or go deeper and add custom tactics to any of your line-ups.

Two new game covers have been released this week, one for Poland and the other one for Australia. Both covers will feature Messi as the main cover star being joined by Robert Lewandowski on the Polish cover and Tim Cahill on the Australian cover.
FIFA producer, Sebastian Enrique, confirmed that there will be two Arabic commentators for the Middle Eastern version of FIFA 15! Middle East fans will be disappointed by this news because they specifically requested EA to add a single commentator this year and not two because real life football matches in Middle East are commentated just by one commentator.
