    I had the same problem, so here I go with what I did to solve this:

    Like kurtkorv said, I think everything is on Windows Defender.
    So, the first thing is to check Windows Defender on "Protection History." For some reason, it detects "dbdata.dll" in the FIFA 15 folder as a virus. If you can restore that file, do it. If for some reason you can't (as was my case), delete the game and reinstall it. (I restarted my PC just in case.)

    Then, go to Microsoft Defender again, go to "Threat Protection settings," then go to "Exclusions," and there select the folder where you installed FIFA.

    After I did that, I started the game, and it looked like it crashed again, but I left it for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, and out of nowhere, it started the game smoothly.

    Hope it helps, folks.
