FIFA 15 Video Game Hits A Glitch During Weekend, EA Now Working For A Fix

Electronic Arts (EA) Sports' FIFA 15 video game release date was September 23, 2014, for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii, Nintendo 3Ds, Microsoft Windows, Windows Phone, as well as Android- and iOS-powered mobile platforms. On PCs, the association football simulation video game runs on the EA Ignite engine. For PCs, the minimum FIFA 15 system requirements include a Windows V/7/8/8.1 -64-bit operating system, an Intel i5-2550K @ 3.4Ghz CPU, 8GB of RAM, 15.0 GB of hard drive space, Direct X 11.0, and ATI Radeon HD 5770, NVIDIA GTX 650 video cards. A demo FIFA 15 trailer heralded the game's official release. Argentine professional player Lionel Messi is again the FIFA 15 cover athlete. The FIFA 15 video game teams, leagues and clubs are listed on the official game website with the description "Experience true football authenticity with FIFA 15 - featuring 35 licensed leagues, over 600 clubs, 16,000+ players and 41 licensed stadiums" FIFA 15 player ratings and club ratings from the 50 best players to top future prospects are also available at the EA site. For FIFA 15 wikis and updates, fans can also visit Gaming Bolt, GameWise, and IGN.

The FIFA 15 video game was generally well received by game critics and reviewers. However, just this weekend, gamers have reported experiencing problems with "player transfers" which apparently get stuck and hang at the "completing" stage. Some reported receiving an error message acknowledging the delay, citing a "very busy" transfer market. Others reported finding their transfers have been listed as expired without completing, despite appearing to still be in progress. Game developer EA Canada has acknowledged the problem through its Twitter account and is now already working on a fix. A message from the EA support page reads: "For Xbox One and Xbox 360 players, trading in EA Sports Football Club and the FUT Web App Transfer Market will be unavailable while our teams work on resolving current issues. Thanks for your patience while we improve and restore normal FIFA Ultimate Team gameplay."
