    EA Sports debuted the "Game Face" feature now seven years ago, but the company never invested in updating it and lately have phased out of most of their titles.

However in the poll posted last week to gauge response to the FIFA 15 demo over 4K votes rolled in and the results paint a picture of a franchise that could grow even beyond the remarkable standing it already holds by appealing to potential new consumers while still holding strongly on to returning ones.
