How this score was computed
The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.

“Although the overall superb quality attained with this saga, you would expect much more of a next-gen game. FIFA 15 has quite a continuity spirit that covers FIFA 14 flaws more than adding next-gen experience. Even so, the throne it holds in the genre is worthy, and it will offer tons of hours in the virtual field. ”

“A marvelous soccer game, and it's certainly better than FIFA 14, but the series' improvements felt even more marginal this year. The game captures the thrill of soccer unlike ever before, but the new, emotional player animations are only a small addition to what was already a great product.”

“FIFA 15 boasts everything that we've come to expect from EA's annual footy sim.”

“FIFA 15 takes two steps forward and one step back in almost every component of the game. The presentation is as sleek as ever, but it still lacks some realism in terms of gesture and animation. Tactical accessibility, on the other hand, came at the expense of thoroughness, and mobility feels more realistic but also heavier. Despite all of this, FIFA 15 remains the deepest, most addictive and fun football experience out there.”

“EA can quite fairly claim to have again delivered the best football game ever made. But every year the developers seem to have less of an idea what that means.”

“In a series that is synonymous with incremental improvements, FIFA 15 manages to feel like more of an evolutionary leap.”

“Without a doubt, FIFA 15 is the most realistic, authentic and atmospheric footie I've ever played. The most fun? Well, the ball is in PES 2015's court.”

“FIFA 15 is so realistic, and emotional. It has smooth and jaw dropping animations. If you are a fan of soccer games, FIFA 15 must be the best choice around.”

“Is it overflowing with newness for anyone that’s already gorged the past year’s soccer bounty? Nope. But it’s still the very best soccer game in town.”

“A pretty decent football game that unfortunately has more bugs than Starship Troopers.”

“FIFA 15 remains one of the most impressively comprehensive sport simulations around, and on new-gen hardware it really is the beautiful game. But while some of FIFA 15’s refinements are worthwhile, and a tangible improvement on FIFA 14, its flaws stand out all the more. ”
