10.CustomFormations

fromtheworldscurrentofferingofprofessionalfootballers.Itistrueyouaregiventhefreedom
to build a squad from the worlds top leagues. However, for all the freedom we are given by EA
Sports, we are limited to field our superstars in one of FIFAs designated formations rather than
finetuning the arrangement to our specific needs. There are some notable omissions from the
formations on offer: many players have called for the 434 and 460 formations to be made
available. Even better thanadding theseprominent absentees would be if EA were to introduce
the facility whereby the player had complete control over where their players were placed,
meaning that the team on the field was truly their vision of the Ultimate Team. With the
improvements in tactics and strategy EA Sports claimed FIFA 15 will implement, it seems only
naturalthattheplayershouldbeabletocreateacustomformationonFUT.

5.Legends
One of the best additions to Ultimate Team in recent years has been the inclusion of legendary
playersofthebeautifulgame.Thishighlyelitegroup consistsofsomeofthegreatestplayersto
haveeverkickedafootballandarefittinglyveryhighlyrated.Theadditionsoflegendshasmade
many fans fantasies come true the thought of a team spearheaded by a combo of Pel and
Messi supplied by the passing of Iniesta and Gheorghe Hagi is the stuff of every football
aficionados dreams. This feature gave us the ability to visualise how the legends of yesteryear
would have matched up against the talents of today. Though extremely exciting, the
implementation of the Legends is not without its issues which could be amended in FIFA 15s
Ultimate Team mode. One problem which we now know will go unresolved is the fact that the
LegendswillremainexclusivetoplayersrunningFIFA15onXbox.Notonlyisitagreatshamethat
Playstation owners will continue to be denied some of the best players in the game, but it also
means that there is a big difference in the Ultimate Team gaming experience between the two
consoles. As a result it is harder for competitive friends with different console preferences to

4.CustomisableKits
As mentioned in our point about our gripes with the lack of formation options to base your
Ultimate Team on, FUT claims to be a game mode which gives you the unimpeded freedom to
createyouridealfantasyteam.CurrentlyUltimateTeammanagersareforcedtohavetheirteams

have to do is watch the halftime adverts of any Sky Sports football game to understand the
