Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo feature in the worst FIFA 15 misses of the season
Even the best players miss goals.www.gmusd.com
But probably not as spectacularly as these open goal misses on FIFA 15, which have all made the 'Misses of the Season' compilations from EA Sports.
And even the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi feature, both guilty of some shocking misses.www.mmozt.com
And some of them are hilarious; particularly Sebastian Giovinco's for Juventus who manages to hit the post three times in three seconds.
What EA Sports haven't done though, is leave the gamer tags of those guilty of these misses, which is very kind.
Watch the great video above and if any of these are you, be ashamed. Be very ashamed.www.gmusd.com

FIFA 15 Goals of the Week 23
The two best players in the world Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi both feature with audacious efforts in the latest FIFA 15 Goals of the Week video.
Every week EA release a video rounding up some of the best goals scored by players on FIFA 15 in all the game’s different formats.
As usual these goals are the sort that most of us watch and then try to frantically replicate, only to fail miserably.
Real Madrid’s Isco reveals where he likes to play himself on FIFA 15

"Hey Leo, calm down I've got this."
“Hey Leo, calm down I’ve got this.”
The first three goals involve a lovely volley from Ronaldo, an astonishing effort from range by a virtual pro and then a Messi bicycle kick.
After that there’s a frankly preposterous effort from Isco with the outside of his foot, Zlatan being Zlatan and a customary volley from Robin van Persie.

"My goal was by far the best."
“My goal was by far the best.”
The goals were simply stunning and as far as we’re concerned once you’ve made it onto an official EA compilation then you’ve made it.
We’ve watched a lot of impressive FIFA players but there’s something quite unique and special about scoring some of these goals, so kudos to those players.
You can watch the full compilation below.

Fifa 15 review – not flawless, but still the best
Ardent fans of the Fifa football games know two things to be true whenever the latest instalment arrives. It will be mostly the same game as before, and it will also be the best football simulation ever. EA Sports, much like Apple with its iDevices, has found a winning formula, and it is reluctant to do more than drip feed us tiny changes every year.
That said, it has long been believed that this year’s instalment would be the big one. After all, developers have had almost a year since the launch of the Xbox One and Playstation 4 last November to really get to know the possibilities and limitations of these machines.
Well, the graphical improvements are by no means dramatic, but they are noticeable. Faces are more expressive, and EA claims that there are 600 emotional reactions that could potentially be seen during the game; players from opposing teams push, shove and bark at each other after having engaged in a series of aggressive physical battles over the course of the match. Strikers look pleased with themselves after scoring a belter and assistant referees … twitch their noses when making an offside call. Unnecessary perhaps, but it’s a tiny detail that adds yet another layer of realism to the most realistic football sim on the planet.
Indeed, EA Sports is all about the small things this year. Blades of grass (and, if it’s raining, water) go flying into the air in slow motion when the ball is struck during replays, the pitch develops physical signs of wear and tear over the course of the match, shirts are visibly pulled by defenders chasing a zippy winger and the PA system at Selhurst Park warns fans in the stadium that the Northern line isn’t running (hats off to EA, they’ve clearly done their research on that one).
The game now has disallowed goals, rather than laser-accurate robotic linesmen that will instantly stop play for offside the moment the ball goes anywhere near an offending player. That rollercoaster of jubilation followed by disappointment when your team is stripped of a winning goal in the dying moments of injury time is, to borrow a phrase from EA Sports, “in the game”.
