hey it's Josh magar fermenter Authority what's going on everybody and as you can see behind me we are still here at e3 2015 here in the Los Angeles Convention Center and I wanted to give you a couple of reactions to some apps and some games that we were able to take a look at earlier today the first thing that we were able to do was head on over to EA and take a look at three different games that they had for the Android platform now of course this also includes iOS so a couple of the reaction videos and a couple of the hands-on shots might be on iOS devices but of course they will be simultaneously released on android as well and the one that I got to take a look at which had a lot of fun with was the new fifa mobile app now fifa obviously is one of the most popular sports games on all the different consoles but now EA wanted to bring the same experience to the mobile platform for iOS tablets and android and android tablets as well but what was great about this is that the iteration that we're finding on the mobile platform is actually pretty great it still retains a lot of what makes fifa on the console is pretty awesome but is able to adapt it for the touchscreen controls and also for the mobile mobile experience so for example instead of having these super long games that you would have on the regular console versions you'll probably have about three to five minutes in order to play but after you select your team which by the way this entire game is based upon the ultimate team mode that you find in the consoles where you create a team from the various players that you might win in various PACs or you might be able to by using the virtual currency you're basically creating your dream team and you will go up against real teams from the real FIFA obviously but also you cannot challenge some of your friends and to be able to play them as well but once you get onto the actual field you'll have your entire team at your disposal and a d-pad that comes up when you're moving around on the left side of the screen is your navigation and then after that you have different buttons on the right side that will pertain to different actions like for example switching to different players if you're on defense passing and also shooting and then everything that goes in between but you are actually able to tap and swipe on the screen as well as you see fit for example if you are the if you're controlling the player with the ball as always you will be able to pass it over to another player simply by tapping on the player that you want to pass it to and you can also tap on the field itself if you want to do a lead pass and via that tab it will switch directly to the player that's nearest to the ball based on that tab and you can make that lead pass really count even things like doing crosses when you're near the goal you will be able to do with a swipe up towards the goal and you'll be able to pass it pretty well there and make a goal so you can see in this video that the difficulty was maybe set just a little bit low because it's really easy to get some scores off but once you do get a goal on the right side you'll see different directional pads for a B and C and you can swipe up or down or left or right for any of those to change what kind of celebration you're having at the end of scoring a goal which is really kind of funny and some of them are actually really funny but from there you are able to create the team that you want and be able to challenge pretty much anybody or go through an entire season and it actually works pretty fluidly going through the textures and the details may not necessarily be as high end as you might expect from the console versions but that's pretty much expected what I did like was that there was a fluidity to the movement and that all of the animations were in there so nothing really looked that jarring and nothing looked really let's sake and inside there are going to be some in-app purchases especially when you consider the virtual currency that you will be able to use in order to speed up the upgrades of your players and of your team but other than that it is a free-to-play game there is no gating system in terms of you can only play a certain amount of times and then you have to wait for a while to replenish those energies that is not a system that you have here so for the most part you're getting a full-fledged FIFA experience cater to the mobile experience again this is going to be released simultaneously with a console version so you can look forward to that just before fall this year and FIFA looks like it's going to be a really fun game so keep it tuned here for probably our review of that game and if you are a soccer fan or football fan for all of you who don't call it soccer then FIFA just might be the way for you to have your favorite sport to play on the go this is Josh Megara reporting to you live from e3 2015 make sure you stay tuned to android authority for even more
