Watch: How to play with ISL teams on FIFA 15

What’s the story?

Indian FIFA fans rejoice, a YouTuber going by the name smartworker raghav has solved the problems of the multitude of Indian fans who want to play with their favourite Indian Super League teams on the FIFA platform.

The gaming YouTuber has found a patch that includes all of the ISL teams on the PC version of FIFA 15, fulfilling the fantasies of FIFA players who cannot and do not want to wait till FIFA 18 is released with the ISL teams as a part of its roster.

In case you didn’t know...

The ISL and the I-League are India’s premier football competitions. With both set to merge next year, Indian football seems to finally be getting the big-money football league it has been craving for all this while.

In addition to this, more great news for the Indian football fans came in the form of an announcement by EA which said that the Indian Super League was to be a part of the upcoming instalment in the FIFA series, FIFA 18.

The heart of the matter

Here’s how the ISL patch for FIFA 15 can be downloaded:

Step 1: The user must log on to the website, “moddingway.com” and download the program “Creation Master 15” from the aforementioned website.

Step 2: The next step is to download the Indian Super League patch for FIFA 15 from the same website.

Step 3: The previously downloaded Creation Master must now be installed and added to the FIFA 15 game file directory.

Step 4: The last step is to finally install the ISL patch to the Creation Master 15 file.

What’s next?

While FIFA 15 does allow the installation of such a patch, the same cannot be said of FIFA 16 or 17. EA has, however, included ISL teams in their upcoming edition of the game, FIFA 18, which is set to release sometime in September.

Author’s Take

FIFA gaming has become a much easier proposition with the advent of patches and mods for games which allow players to include features which would otherwise not be possible in the game. The ISL patch is one such solution which solves a problem for a large number of FIFA players in India and it is a pity that the advanced security encryption of FIFA 17 does not allow such modifications.
