    Only idiots pay 50 dollars for an update. The developers want us to pay their sleeping this year. They have to show less greed next year. Yes it is the best Football game so far but it still needs more care.

    The Fact, that EA decided not to implement the new engine is pretty laughable. The graphics are nowhere near the console version, overall it feels like im playing a 2008 game. Yes i know, graphic isnt everything, but personally i enjoy a realistic looking football game rather than this piece of old technology.

    Overall, this feels like a minor update compared to Fifa 2013.

    This isn't football.
    I'm a football fan, I've played most if not all FIFA's since 1997, same for PES franchise which is currently worse than FIFA, still that doesn't make FIFA good, far from it.

    I'm a football fan, I've played most if not all FIFA's since 1997, same for PES franchise which is currently worse than FIFA, still that doesn't make FIFA good, far from it.

    When you look at the evolution of this game, each time they make a new one, they fix some problems and they create new ones, some of this broken mechanics are hard to understand since they were fixed in the previous game, it's like they break the game on purpose so people go buy the next one in the hope that "that thing" they hate is fixed.

    FIFA 2013 was a pretty good game, but it was completely broken by one single mechanic, Strenght/Balance. In FIFA 2013 all you had to do was trample the opponent and its done, players just couldn't hold the ball, no matter how good or strong.

    FIFA 2014 fixes this but breaks completely dribbling, acceleration and passing to some extent.
    The AI is awful, the AI is incapable of scoring goals against the AI.
    When the AI attacks, all teams feel like they are the same, no long passes, no nothing, its like watching Barcelona playing against Barcelona every game, the only difference is that this Barcelona's sometimes play better and sometimes play worse.
    AI defenders will always guess what you are going to do, it's just plain annoying, difficulty through annoyance is not difficulty, its laziness by the programmers.
    Half of the goals are: Player A shoots, ball hits the post, ball goes into Player B that scores a goal without opposition.

    So in the end, we have a couple of problems in FIFA 2013 fixed and the rest of the game is at least partially broken.

    All they had to do was to fix the "holding up the ball" in FIFA 2013 and FIFA 2014 would be the best football simulator ever made.

    The games tempo has been slowed down. I guess they were out of ideas on why you should pay full price for this.
    This game is basicly fifa 13 with an updated rooster on the different teams. And some new music, and we all play this game because of the music right? Right... The menu's are new, that's also really important. The goal celebrations is are

    Scoring goals on freekicks still feels like complete luck.
    The graphics are exactly the same. Quite crap tbh, I expect more than directx9 from a full priced in late 2013.

    Why am I stuck with dreaming about features which was in football games 20 years ago?
    Why is there so few savegame slots? Like why?

    I got last years fifa when it came on sale. I suggest you do the same with this one. Esp if you own last years version. It is complete waste of your money.

    I'm disappointed, the game tries to be realistic but unfortunately can not. Defenders give bicycle kick all the time, and this was what irritated me most, apart from that, try to be more realistic, just leaving the game boring and bland, if I want extreme realism in a game of soccer, I would go to a stadium, would not pay for a game that owes much.

It is one of the worst sports games i have ever played. The passing and defensive bugs in this game make it completely unplayable. For example Not letting you switch to certain players, hardly ever passing to the right player, when you finally, by some sort of miracle, pass to the right player the computer decides you didn't want to be that player and makes you the guy next to him, when on defense they hardly ever switch you to the player desired and who ever you do switch to likes to either freeze in place for a moment or continue running in the direction he was running regardless of what i want him to do(I've tried to change the settings for this but that somehow makes, at times, switching players somewhat impossible as it will never select the man i want to be no matter how many times i hit LB). I have tried every remedy for this passing situation, I've tried putting all passing settings on manual, on assisted on semi assisted and they all have different flaws that make passing the ball the most frustrating thing in sports game history. It is straight up impossible to ever accomplish what you see on the field and makes you want to throw your controller straight threw your monitor. Because of this the only way to score in this game is to get it to the corners and cross it, or from corner kicks which makes for the dullest version of soccer i have ever been a part of. Zero excitement and strictly header goals, which don't even make you feel good.

    Other things that make this game terrible are the difficulty level settings, on professional i can school the computer 6-0(and i enjoyed scoring zero of those six goals) but on world class forget about it i can't even get a touch in. So there is no decent level of competition for me against the computer and i like to play manager mode. Which brings me to manager mode. Thank you very much for completely destroying it EA. The new scouting system is a complete waste of time. It can not find a player worthy of the first team and if you select anymore than 3-4 criteria it will find no one(5 star scouts). it is just completely broken and does not work and EA does nothing to fix it. I also have a huge issue with simulating games, I ideally like to play every game but sometimes you just want to get to the next game if its a huge game or something. When simulating my team hardly ever wins even if it is a lower division team ill pull off a 2-1 nail bitter. It just seems completely biased in the opponents favor all of the time rather than being a true simulation.

    The only reason that this game gets 2 points is for the be a pro mode which isn't straight trash juice but rather lose garbage on the top of the pile. Don't get me wrong its still garbage but its the best of the garbage. Not all the switching player bugs are present because you are locked into one player sooo its got that going for it but aside from that players are constantly avoiding the ball thinking i mam passing to someone else and just buggy AI really bog it down. But it is not nearly as bad as the vs mode.

    This is my first review and one of the first games that has made me so angry that i had to go tell the internet to beware of it. Please do yourself a massive favor and save yourself hours of frustration and avoid this game at all costs. Your heart and brain will thank you. That is all and again please please please don't support EA and this garbage title and never ever ever purchase this game. If you want a soccer game please go with FIFA 13 or a non EA title.

    worst fifa in the last 4 years especially the I.A and the same scenario that repeats it self every solo game.when the computer wants to score a goal some pretty amazing things happens which ruins the game. about the simple joystick dribbling i don't even want to talk about it.fifa 13 is too close to perfection but 14 is very far from it.

    Would be an excellent game if wasn't heavily scripted... EA uses systems to balance the online game so the beginers can have a chance to win. No matter how good you are. The winner will be who they decided before the start of the game.... Just make a google check with the words "fifa 14 handcap scripting" than decide if it worth buy.

    You cannot do a 2 yard pass because when your player is close to getting the ball and make a run,HE DOESN'T DO THAT The players just stand there when you try to do a simple pass,they don't move,they look at the ball.
    Now,the defenders.
    They are idiots,doesn't matter if you use Vidic,Kompany,David Luiz,Thiago Silva,all are bad,they stumble upon eachother.
    The keepers are even worse,they cannot even hold the ball in their hands,they just deny the ball to be in their hands and they conceed the worse goals I've ever seen.

    This is just to counteract all those ridiculous 10 ratings. This game is a lemon scripting making it a random outcome void of skill.

    This is the worst FIFA game released. Even the 2008 FIFA with no ball in the game was better.
    They changed how the game works by adding "realism" to the game. What is that? All players need 2 seconds to turn around and do anything in this game, This is pretty unrealistic when there are players in the real world that are known to be really agile, players like Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar,

    The Marking is pretty low. You can score a goal pretty easy this way. Pace does not matter anymore in this game and the heading, also, it's useless. Players that are really strong like Ibrahimovici or Puyol are being thrown out of the way like rag dolls because that is FIFA logics.

    The only thing that I like about this FIFA is that they changed the menus and how career works.
    Online pro is still a fight to get on a spot with the pro because they have the same bad system were there is no match making by the role/position you play.
    FUT is a mess and I don't even recognize what it is all about.

    To sum it all up: Worst FIFA made ever. If you want to learn another game go buy it. If you liked FIFA 12 and 13 stick to them.

    PS: Note for the dev's: Please go and watch Champions league matches, Liga BBVA or other relevant leagues before thinking that this is the way FIFA is meant to be played.

    Fifa 14, exactly the same as its predecessors has created an immensely powerful and perfect football game engine but then dumbed it down to appeal to the teen 'football hero'. As a result, and despite their desire to slow the game down and introduce more of a tactical and team play element, the same failings continue to appear in the game. The 'quick win' elements of using assists to place a pass or chip inch perfect to a player would be less insufferable if the defensive AI intelligence wasn't one brain cell away from a Geordie girl. Basic positioning, tracking, marking - things that a footballer learns in school seem to be lost and this is known and exploited by players who want to 'win at all costs' rather than play attractive football.

    I can only hope that Konami recover their position as they appear to be the only hope for having someone create a game that appeals to real footballers and not simply kids who want to exploit a game engine to give them some bizarre sense of achievement when they chip in their 100th goal using exactly the same method they have for every other one.

After you bought the game and played for a while you probably feel like you got EAed (=Bought a game that was not ready to be released and despite warnings you bought it because the good memories.) It happend with SimCity....and almost every game the released last years. Why is the game still not good enoughere are 30 examples:
    1.The AI of you teammates is just horrible. Always run too late or start running when the need to stay in position.
    2. horrible first touch. a 86 player will have problems controlling easy balls.
    3. FUT market crashes always
    4. Rain makes playing impossible. Ball bounces way too far.
    5. Keepers jump wrong direction.
    6. Keepers will hit the ball over the bar instead of catching.
    7. An 90 sprint player that has a headstart can loose a sprintduel from a 70 sprint player, only becaus he has te ball.
    8. just as always backs will never stay on their place.
    9. Offside sometimes doensn't work.
    10. Keepers sometimes shocks and misses a simple ball completely.
    11. FUT Connenction crashes even with the fastest internet and pc. If in game, it will simulate a defeat or tie or win (simulates by current score). Will cost you some seasons.
    12 The game reacts too slow on your moves, using awsome controllers.
    13 Sometimes it takes ages to connect online/fut. keep getting messages like player left, etc. Still having awsome pc and internet.
    14. If you don't won't to play FUT against slow connection player and you will leave and search again...you keep getting same slow connection player... this can easily take 15 min...because you have to wait untill someone else wants to play against him.
    15. When game starts in FUT in someone will leave after 1min. Your score is a tie.....
    16. Never get good rare players in fifa packs. Almost impossible to get a decent 80+ player.
    17. Defenders never hold line. for example when you take a free kick and the opponent heads the ball to his striker....your defenders are nowhere so the striker can walk one on one with te keeper....Unrealistic.
    18 If je pass a ball to player you has a perfect line to the ball but there is another player around.....big change you will get te other player so your perfect attack end.
    19 A lot of times you cannot get the player you would want to get, but you will get a player that is like the furtest away from the ball.
    20 Fast throw ins are just horrible. It take ages to get the ball or a player runs like an entire field to get the ball and once he has te ball they stop en give you a regular throwi in.
    21 If the ball is on te right of the player and the players weak foot is the left, he will still can takes the shot with its left.
    22 Shooting is just horrible slow. Seconds between pulling his leg back and hitting the ball what makes it very easy to block.
    23 a lot of times he cannot shoot at once but the players first need to touch ball.
    24 Playing online against people who are using the shoot assistance (almost all) can be impossible. Every time the press the shoot button they will shoot hard on goal and most of the time score. So you will get a lot of games 2 shots 2 goals....
    25 Fut coins for player without assistance should give you a lot more coins because it's like 10times harder. now you will get like 50... should be more like 250 for only when you play withou shooting assistance.
    26. Button for calling second player to preasure is the same as the one that you will let the ball go through you legs (dont's now the word in english).....result the don't block passes but the will run towards players to let the ball be passed between their legs. Also if you manage the get the ball but also use a second player to preasure.....you will lose the ball because now you will let the ball go between your legs.
    27 A lot of times you will get the ball but once you have it you will shoot it away because the button of standing tackle and shooting is the same and the enginge doesn't regconize that you only wanted to get the ball. So click twice on standing tackle, once you have the ball you will shoot it.
    28 A lot of times thge keeper doesn't comes out of his goal when you press the button to do it. You just have to be lucky if he wants to get out.
    29. player of 1,60m can easily win a headingduel of a guy that is 1,90m because his general stats are better or for a random reason. So giovinco can win heading duels of David Luiz even if David Luiz is on the better spot to head.
    30. and of course there are like 100 hundred bugs of AI in gameplay. Like players falling over each other while no ball is around. Not going to name the other 99. A lot more bugs than the previous games. And no bug of the previous games is actually resolved. So fifa 15 will have 130bugs for sure

    Fifa 6.23.19236.139a isn't too bad, but $60? I mean come on... Played it at a friend's house and it was certainly enjoyable, but freaking $60 for (as indicated by the beginning of the review) what is for all intents and purposes an update or patch? You can kiss my if you think I'm paying that much.

    I love the FIFA franchise, I've been playing it for years, but I must say FIFA 14 is very disappointing. There are changes to the gameplay which makes me feel angry each time I give it another try. The complains below are mostly from my FUT Professional or Worldclass matches.
    - It feels like there is a delay between controller and the player
    - sprint button is almost useless here

    - It feels like there is a delay between controller and the player
    - sprint button is almost useless here (therefore Pace value is useless)
    - heading is OP
    -your team mates AI is bad (especially marking)
    -the computer is literally cheating, his players are reacting on your controller input immediately, but because your player's action is so delayed (especially shooting), you lose the ball and your player looks like some slow motion retard
    - FUT is still same, low match or competition rewards and of course I purchased dozens of packs, for both coins and FIFA points, mostly during happy hours and usually I get 2-3 rare contracts, thank you EA!

    If you play semi-pro, you might still enjoy the new gameplay, but anything above that becomes frustrating very soon.

    I played FIFA long ago... my last one was 2008, though I loved FIFA 2006. After a long brake I decided to try out one of the "new" ones. Oh my God... What they done to this series?! This game is awful, stupidity of AI controled players is astonishing and why, oh God why, every f***ing team plays this boring 9999 passes football like barcelona?

    Absolute disgrace that the PC gets what is basically a **** port of the ps3 version while ps4 and xbone get the new engine.

    Please someone explain to me why we don't get the latest tech on PC when PC is by far the most powerful platform? Whoever decided this was a good idea should be fired.

    This game is utter tripe.
    It's like the developers have never played, watched or even bloody heard of the sport.
    Franktly the game's piss poor due to a large number of reasons which will now be bought to you by me; 1. UT (Ultimate team) is a wonderful idea but so badly executed due to gameplay, cheap OP players and packs of which you can buy with in game coins or your own money. -OP

    1. UT (Ultimate team) is a wonderful idea but so badly executed due to gameplay, cheap OP players and packs of which you can buy with in game coins or your own money.
    -OP players such as David Luiz, should not exist, if you watch him play for real, you'll see he is a reckless, dirty player who cannot do much other than try to take a longshot every 2 minutes (most of which fail), he's far too fast despite it claiming it's only 77 or 72 pace, he scores in every match, he wins every header, etc. Essentially he's better than Franz Beckenbauer.
    -Packs, or more specifically gold packs, these tend to be a complete waste of time, you could spend £40 on packs and not get a single decent player, it's just money grabbing.
    2. Offsides, oh dear, it appears my strikers are offside for the 5th time in the first half. It's as if they can't grasp the concept of it.
    3. Referee's, get in the way far too common, don't call out flat out fouls which is incredibly aggravating.
    4. Did footballers forget how to position themselves? Your players seem to run around aimlessly on the pitch as if they were cows upon a field.
    5. Dribbling, sometimes it's great, sometimes it's bad.
    6. Players feel far too heavy

    So aside from it being bad, annoying, and addictive
    it has the potential to be really fun and feel like a game.
    Personally I think they shouldn't aim for being a simulator, I used to love the arcadey feel the older ones gave, where I had fun playing it.

    Not too much new stuff.
    Gameplay is okay, feels somehow like football until your defense starts tripping over each other or your goalkeeper has decision issues.
    Anyways im still quite pissed how many bugs are still in the game or have never ever even been tackled at all. Also that i have to push at least 10 buttons to start the game annoys me (a lot!!), damn annoy me too. And to top it

    I see what they tried to do.. they tried to make it a little too "realistic" ,in trying to do that though, they ruined the game!! i wished it was a better version of FIFA12
    (even 13 sucks), so disappointing, the dribbling is ridiculous and one lob cross and you are through on goal, no matter from how far,passing isn't fluid as the player tries to control the ball first (as i said in order

Worst FIFA till date. Only people who used to get occasional wins can like this because with this kind of unpredictability, anybody who can press a button can win.

    This game is so disappointing. It actually creates more hate than enjoyment. Also look at the user reviews compared to the critics views. Paid off much?

    It's not a bad game... but it does not feel like EA seriously wanted us to enjoy it. I've played FIFA for ages and I'm not a bad player at all, I even play in tournaments (that's for those who say we hate because we don't know how to play). I can appreciate the many good things FIFA has over PES which I've recently started playing out of disgust.

    But I speak mostly of Pro Clubs : how

I can appreciate the many good things FIFA has over PES which I've recently started playing out of disgust.

    But I speak mostly of Pro Clubs : how can the AI be so stupid? How can the bots mess up so many ball receptions, passes, choices or even refuse to pass the ball and go straight to the opponent so frequently? How can the game crash so often? Be so buggy? How come dangerous plays at 45th and 90th minutes always result in a goal? Why the ridiculous deflections? Why the sick collision engine?

    I remember the days when you used to have an empty/full circle under the player to let you know whether you had the ball or not... Fifa used to be so good. Now you make a tackle attempt and you realize you actually had the ball so you just lost it with a pass. Or you make a dribble but the ball went a bit far, so you change direction hoping to get away from defenders with the ball and you actually get away from them... without the ball, without having pressed any pass, or shot button.
    Is this simulation? Then why so many confusions? IRL, I would know I do have the ball.

    Every time you get close to another player or the referee, you get sent bouncing meters away by an invisible force even if you're actually tougher and fitter than the other person. And whenever the CPU decides you can't make a quick change of direction (don't get me wrong, the idea is good, but the implementation is horrible), you're forced to keep going the wrong way or you get stuck. Is this simulation? Then why do I feel heavier without the ball than with the ball?

    Oh, and a longer range camera would be nice, just like in the old days.

    There's a lot to like, as usual, especially outside of pro clubs (a great invention but messed up), but this year there's also sooooooooooooo much to hate about the game...

    The only reason I haven't fully migrated to PES is the absence of an on line pro club mode. Rest assure i will if they create one.

    The interface is wonderful. You have so much information immediately available to you. Google Maps always has a minimap in the lower left corner, which gives you a good overview of the area. Getting information about people gives you a clear, clear window. Hacking offers a menu with easily recognizable icons, so you always know what your button presses will do.

    FIFA 14 has the same old problems as previous incarnations, but it remains the same great football game. [Dec 2013, p.84]

    I’m not sure there is enough extra content to warrant a purchase from FIFA 13 unless you’re a diehard fan and want the up to date player lists, but if it’s been a couple of years since you’ve looked at a FIFA title, then there is no reason why you shouldn’t be getting FIFA 14.

    FIFA 14 is the reassuring central-defensive midfielder of the series. Dependable, rather than revelatory. Physical, tenacious and tight on space. It does the job without fuss, but also lacks flair.
