Offline, FIFA ’15 is built around EA’s Ultimate Team and a pair of career offerings (one as a player, one as a manager).

Shaking up the cast was a smart move. Wahlberg is much more likable than the manic LaBeouf, and both Grammer and Stanley Tucci play their roles well. The comic relief isn’t as prevalent, either, especially once comedian T.J. Miller is out of the picture.
