Gamers can also check out lesser-known players

Every football match tends to be judged on the amount of goals scored and the way the attacking elements in both teams involved performed under pressure, and that means that those who play FIFA 15 really value an attacker who can mix powerful shots with solid targeting.

The developers working on the new title at EA Sports have compiled the top ten list of best players when it comes to both shot power and shot accuracy and are allowing games to take a sneak peek at their attributes, so that they can make decisions about the team they want to control and the personnel they are aiming to recruit for the Ultimate Team.

Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid leads the FIFA 15 pack when it comes to shot placement, which means that gamers can count on him when it comes to delivering goals from both long range and up-close.

In the power category, the best player in the football sim is the relatively unknown Ronny Heberson Furtado de Araujo.

The two lists have a number of shared players and these tend to be the ones that most players will be gravitating towards, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Hulk mixing precision and power in the best possible ways.

The ratings in FIFA 15 are all based on the performances that the simulated players have put in during the past 365 days both in league and in cup matches.

EA Sports says, “There will be surprises, omissions and discussion as to the placement of players on these lists. Feel free to join the conversation on Twitter and Facebook to voice your own opinions with the hashtag #FIFA15Ratings.”

Getting ready for the big launch

FIFA 15 will be out on September 23 in North America and on September 25 in Europe and can be played on the PC, the Xbox One from Microsoft, the PlayStation 4 from Sony and last-gen consoles.

The company has had some trouble with the launch of the Web App service for the Ultimate Team mode and will probably hope that no other issues crop up before the launch takes place.

FIFA 15 aims to deliver an improved take on football, with smarter teammates, better physics-based interactions, an upgraded presentation and a new system for goalkeepers.

For Ultimate Team, the company is introducing a new Concept Squad feature and the ability to loan superstars for a limited number of matches.
