FIFA 15 Release Date, Gameplay Features: PS3, Xbox Won't Have Pro Clubs Mode, Sanction for Coin Farmers Stated
One of the best-selling sports simulation games, FIFA, is now set to release its 15th installment on Sept. 23 for the North American region and Sept. 25 for the Europe region. Different countries will have different launching dates but by early October, FIFA 15 will be available all over the world.
EA Sports executive David Rutter said during the E3 2014 presentation of the game that FIFA 15 will be more immersing and life-like as on-screen players will now be showing more of "emotional intelligence" which the last series was devoid of.
"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," Rutter said. "We're now able to immerse you in the game and let the story of the match unfold based on new commentary, crowd activity, and the natural reactions of the players, which make every game unique."
Meanwhile, Eurogamer.net reported regarding the confirmation EA Sports released indicating that PS3 and Xbox 360 handlers won't be able to enjoy the Pro Clubs Mode.
Pro Clubs has been a mainstay feature from previous series where players can join or create a club for an 11 versus 11 online gameplay.
"We're very confident in the amount of innovation and depth we're delivering for FIFA 15 on PS3 and Xbox 360 but there are some things we couldn't do for FIFA 15 on PS3 and Xbox 360," Eurogamer reported. "Most notably, Pro Clubs will not be a mode in FIFA 15 on Xbox 360 and PS3."
Additional news indicated that as of February 2014, EA Sports has banned coin buying and selling. Offences have respective sanctions which are as of follows:
- 1st Offence – warning via email and in-game message
- 2nd Offence – FUT Club reset and FIFA Points returned
- 3rd Offence – permanent ban from FIFA online
FIFA is slated for release on Xbox One, PS4, PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
