    This is a terrible excuse for a football simulator. I don't even know where to begin because there are so many problems. Horrible defensive AI means you have to track every run manually. But good luck trying to pick the right player to control, since the switching in this game is awful. Your players will always take at least an extra second to respond to any command you give them.This is a terrible excuse for a football simulator.

But good luck trying to pick the right player to control, since the switching in this game is awful. Your players will always take at least an extra second to respond to any command you give them. Sometimes, they won't respond at all, like when they watch a ball roll out of bounds. World class players will have difficulty controlling any pass, no matter where they are. If you are moving and trying to control a pass, forget it.

    Basically, you never feel you are controlling anything that happens, and often, it seems like the game is fighting you. Seriously, stay away from this game. Far, far away.    … Expand

    It's the same game as last year with an updated rooster so you can just just stick with Fifa 13/12/11/10 so you don't have to waste money on the most evil company in the world.

    FIFA 13 had it and FIFA 14 had it: button (controller) lag, witch makes the game unplayable,
    off-line and on-line.
    My PC is way beyond the requirements of FIFA 14.
    Haven't had a game of FIFA 14 without lag and players responding late to button actions.

    The (according to EA) non-existing handicap/momentum was more noticeable in FIFA 13 than ever before. I had hoped they toned it down this year, so as to not be so obvious.
    Sadly that is not the case.
    For those who are unfamiliar with momentum: Catering to the casual gamers, EA has implemented a system that punishes players for dominating their opponent. When certain "requirements" are met, the game will make your players slower, unresponsive, force more passing/shooting/tackling errors as to give your opponent a "fair" shot. I've never been so angry and frustrated playing a game before. I don't like losing, but it REALLY makes me mad, when the game mechanics is forcing me to concede goals just to keep the casual gamers coming back.

    But enough about this "feature", let's talk a little about the gameplay:
    The good news is, that the massive pace abuse is toned down online. The bad news is, that that doesn't mean anything, since the chipped through ball is as overpowered as ever and your defenders now takes two minutes to turn around and start running. Not to mention that there's now a little delay when you switch players, where your player does NOTHING.

    On the topic of player switching: How hard can it be to get this right? Even with MANUEL switching, you don't have full control of player switching. What's the point of manuel then?
    During setpieces you concede goals because the player switch system gives you the wrong player. No problem, you just switch again right? Wrong! You can't switch while the ball is in the air.

    A few times each match a pass is headed towards one of your players, who just won't move! The opponent snatches the ball, and THEN you can move. Or my favorite: The player actually makes an effort to let the ball pass by him.

    The refs are blind in this game. Freekicks called for practically nothing, while a defender can run behind you pulling your shirt for 30 yards, finally bringing you down and stealing the ball... Ref says "play on"?!

    Heading is out of this world. This should be a good thing for me, since I enjoy wingplay. But it's just too much... Too many headers ending up in the back of the net.

    I've played FIFA since 98 (the good ol' "Song 2" days and I can honestly say: FIFA 14 (and 13) is the game(s) in the series that I've had the least fun with. Online play is broken: nothing but through ball abuse and momentum deciding the matches. Offline is just not for me, so I guess I'm out of luck this year...    … Expand

    I was astonished at the critics review...no amount could bribe me into writing anything positive about this game, that clearly was not ready to be released.
    To start it off, the interface is annoying as hell and it resembles another failing concept: Microsoft! That should have been the first warning. Actually, the first real warning was the demo very disappointing, slow, full of bugs and    I was astonished at the critics review...no amount could bribe me into writing anything positive about this game, that clearly was not ready to be released.
    To start it off, the interface is annoying as hell and it resembles another failing concept: Microsoft! That should have been the first warning. Actually, the first real warning was the demo very disappointing, slow, full of bugs and with the worst gameplay that has ever been developed.
    But I'd like to go into detail.

    1. Graphics: Lazy! The overall graphic of players, stadiums, fans, flags, etc. has virtually not improved at all. Same old, same old. It has not gotten worse however, but I am not sure you can call that an accomplishment. My personal beef is with the player's shorts: it looks like the shorts are made of carton, what the hell is that?

    2. Pace: if in Fifa 13 Welliton played better than Messi and Ronaldo, in Fifa 14 stats, especially pace, bear no significance whatsoever. Mertesacker can catch Walcott and Lavezzi is outrun by Cole. This by itself is absolutely ridiculous. There is absolutely no point in using wingers, especially fast ones, because in Fifa 14 pace has no bearing.

    3. Stats: for ultimate team especially, stats mean nothing anymore. The perfect example is Kompany vs. David Luiz: the former is rated 86 and the latter 82. Now compare individual stats (i.e. on Futhead) and you will see that Luiz is rated better on almost everything. So why that rating? 86 to 82 is an enormous difference, however, the reality is that David Luiz plays better (or equal at best) in game than Kompany. This makes no sense especially considering how the two payers are rated in the real world. I picked Luiz vs. Kompany but you can see this on a lot of other players.

    4. Bugs: The game is infected with all sorts of problems. I will name a few that are the most annoying:
    a) Headers: in Fifa 14 getting a corner kick is equal to getting a penalty kick. In fact, the conversion rate of headers is just as high as the conversion rate of penalties. There is no way to defend corner kicks other than sheer luck or inability of your opponent. I have seen things such as Valbuena jump over Thiago Silva, or Sau jump over Chiellini. How does any of this make sense?
    b) Finesse: I have gotten scored on (once with Lloris and once with Sirigu in the goal) from 50 yard finesse shots, once by Fellaini and once by Tiote...in 2 words: Science Fiction!!!
    c) DNF: this is the cherry on top. The game came out now for a month and I accumulated a multitude of losses because the other players (often upset by the score) would disconnect. The beauty of it is that on my FUT season screen it shows my opponent with the infamous "DNF" symbol, yet the score reads 3-0 for the player that disconnected. How does that make any sense? It has happened at least 7 or 8 times to me personally. Moreover, I was present when the exact same thing happened to a friend of mine, who also reported this, since it had happened a number of times to him as well. But the best part of it is, I got messaged by those players, who claimed they would do this regularly and successfully. Just great.

    5. Arbitrariness: EA gave stats without any thoughts as to reality. A couple of examples are:
    a) Messi (and many other incredible players) with 4 star skills, when countless videos online show said players doing all sorts of tricks and skill-moves (on and off the field);
    b) Pirlo and Totti, respectively with pace 58 and 51, while equally as slow players, such as Gerrard, have pace 67;
    c) This is a very personal beef and I understand if most gamers won't agree, but I have to be honest with myself and with the team I support. So, whenever a player goes to a big club, his stats will sky-rocket, but when a promising player goes to an average club the stats are ridiculously lowered.
    For example, see Gervinho to Roma lost rarity and 2 overall points; Maicon went to Roma lost 6 overall points (6!!!); Strootman rated 78 (last season he made TOTS for Dutch league IF) and now that he went to Roma? Still 78! But the funny thing of it all is that Roma, right now, is sitting at the top of the table with 7 games played and 7 wins.

    En términos de juego, FIFA 14 se encuentra a una gran distancia de los dos últimos juegos de la franquicia, siendo un título más lento y táctico.

    Ya no    En términos de juego, FIFA 14 se encuentra a una gran distancia de los dos últimos juegos de la franquicia, siendo un título más lento y táctico. Ha acabado convirtiéndose en un juego mucho más metódico que antes. Se acabó perder la concentración y sólo preocuparse por la velocidad de sprint y la aceleración. Ahora requiere una combinación de paciencia, control y visión de juego.

    Ya no nos servirá de mucho tener a Theo Walcott adelantado y esperar desmarcarse por su velocidad, ya que FIFA 14 exigirá de un control y una elaboración como si se tratase de fútbol de la vida real. La parte física del deporte rey ha sido perfectamente implementado por los chicos de EA Sports. La física torpe que empañaron FIFAs 12 y 13 ha sido prácticamente anulada, y la recepción de la pelota en la medular y la presión de un rival obsesionado hasta que un compañero de equipo nos ofrezca su apoyo es una característica interesante y bien realizada.

    El pase se ha ajustado de nuevo para añadir un toque más técnico al juego. Atrás han quedado los días en que un simple toque de botón era suficiente. En FIFA 14 tendremos que elegir bien el momento y asegurarnos de que el ángulo y la fuerza del pase son los correctos. Toda una delicia. Si no lo ejecutamos correctamente sólo nos toca esperar a ver la pelota en tierra de nadie o que sea birlada por un oponente oportunista.

    Por fin, aunque algunos estaréis en desacuerdo conmigo, el movimiento del balón se ha hecho más difícil de ejecutar correctamente, algo que va a cambiar mucho la forma de jugar. Nos será más complicado abrir espacios con un pase, lo que requiere que actuemos rápidamente al pasar para asegurarnos que nuestros compañeros pueden desmarcarse, recibir un pase y sacar algo productivo antes de ser encimados por el rival.

    Las mecánicas de regate añadidas en FIFA 13 se han alterado, ya que no requieren que los jugadores tengan el gatillo izquierdo pulsado para llevar a cabo eficazmente algunas de las combinaciones divertidas del año pasado. Ahora son más difíciles de ejecutar.

    El gatillo izquierdo se utiliza ahora principalmente para proteger el balón. Pulsando el gatillo el jugador protegerá el balón, una estrategia que parece especialmente eficaz en las bandas, pero de otro modo ineficaz contra incluso una defensa mediocre. Aún así, hace que el jugador pueda frenar y esperar a que sus compañeros de equipo se posicionen mejor para recibir un pase. Al correr, el balón se separará del pie un poco más que hace un año, dando mayor vulnerabilidad a los estilos de juego más rápidos.

    Introducido el año pasado, First Touch Control hace más impredecible los movimientos de la pelota, y este año es más sensible a los futbolistas menos hábiles. Esto provoca una diferenciación más clara de cómo los equipos juegan y cómo los jugadores se mueven con eficacia con el balón por el campo. Aunque no puedo decir que necesariamente Lionel Messi o Cristiano Ronaldo se sienten diferentes entre sí, sin duda se desenvuelven mejor que un jugador sin nombre de un club de dos estrellas. Las dos primeras superestrellas podría ser capaz de salirse con la suya corriendo por el campo un poco y evitar las entradas, pero con la mayoría de los equipos tendrán que emplear una estrategia más lenta, más táctica, ya que los jugadores menos cualificados son más propensos a perder el control de la pelota.

    El logro de la calidad y fluidez del juego está totalmente en manos del jugador y las decisiones que toma, en lugar de estar en la pelota, ya no basta con golpear y esperar. Hay que estar atento, estar encima. Esto no es nuevo, pero se ha perfeccionado y reformado de una manera brillante para proporcionar una experiencia más inmersiva y táctica. Como resultado, la FIFA 14 es mucho más que una “simulación” del deporte rey, es prácticamente recrear lo que acontece cuando disfrutáis practicando en la vida real.

    Gráficamente se ha visto poco cambio. FIFA 14 se parece mucho a su predecesor, y aunque nos hubiera gustado ver algunas mejoras, los gráficos del juego siguen siendo bastante buenos.

    Si algo caracteriza a la saga FIFA son sus licencias, ampliando este año las ligas y por tanto, los equipos disponibles. El nivel de detalle y mimo llega a tal extremo que hasta el calendario de la Liga está trasladado de forma directa, incluyendo competiciones como la Súper Copa o la competición similar a la Liga de Campeones. http://www.zonawired.com

    En apartado sonoro encontraremos una selección de melodías muy variada y animada que lograrán que cuando estemos en la calle o en el trabajo silbemos la canción.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the worst FIFA since the ones from ps1, and I really loved the franchise but the way they overhyped teams that they sponsor is disgusting and unfair. On FIFA 13 every team played like Chelsea, parking the bus and just kicking it to a strong striker, that no matter what no matter who you had on your defense that man was gonna outmuscle your player, except for barca, but even though it was incredibly hard you could still beat them in Legendary mode. In FIFA 14 they are the epitome of perfection and if you take the ball away from them it has to be a foul, no other way around it. It's just ridiculous. Another thing whenever you play against barca either they have their original Jersey or the black one the referee will have a completely dark garment, making it confusing sometimes on who to mark, not that it matter because you just can't take the ball away from them. Oh and the so sponsored center of gravity thing is the biggest lie ever. I have been buying FIFA since the FIFA 10 every year but after this disgusting features and how annoyingly difficult they made it, it's not fun to play anymore.

It's slower, the touches are more realistic (although some are unrealistically poor), the AI is improved, defending is harder, shooting is easier, etc. My main gripe with 14 is that the quick, intricate passing from last year doesn't work as well and it is wiser to simply let fly from 25 yards rather than trying to work the ball through the defense. That being said, FIFA 14 has fantastic features and overall the gameplay has improved.

    It is a really well designed game gameplay is amazing and fun new ways to tackle situations and excellent menu design.Graphics are not so amazing they have a lot of screen tearing and issues.Playing with friends is fun and that is why you should get Fifa 14 but other than that it is decent and great but gets boring and graphics are dated

    What were they thinking when they made fifa 14?! This is by far the worst, most frustrating game I have ever played. Players dribble better in real life than in the game! It is as if the producers got together in a meeting and said, "How can we stuff up fifa 14?" Well mission accomplished. I created a metacritic account JUST so I could give this game a 0! I want to snap the CD in half andWhat were they thinking when they made fifa 14?! This is by far the worst, most frustrating game I have ever played.

I created a metacritic account JUST so I could give this game a 0! I want to snap the CD in half and send it back. I would rather play fifa 13 until fifa 15 comes out. Hopefully they would have learnt from this... I don't know what they were trying to accomplish with this game but they have tried to make it too realistic. It is also very glitchy. Sometimes when making a sub, the player who comes on is invisible. This was also the case in fifa 13. Overall, I am extremely dissappointed.… Expand

    This game is severely overrated. I can't believe how highly the critics are rating this game. Are you insane? It's just the same exact game each year with changes so minuscule there's no point in bothering. It just gets worse and worse as EA continually strips away more features in favour of micro-transactions or DLC. It's disgusting! Put some actual effort into your games, EA! StopThis game is severely overrated. I can't believe how highly the critics are rating this game. Are you insane?

It just gets worse and worse as EA continually strips away more features in favour of micro-transactions or DLC. It's disgusting! Put some actual effort into your games, EA! Stop screwing over your consumers. Please stop supporting an evil, antagonistic corporation that only seeks to monopolise and corrupt the game's industry. They don't care about you, all they care about is releasing the game as fast as possible so they can get as much money as possible. Also, please work on your games for 4-5 years and stop shutting down the servers after only 6 months 1 year. What's the point in having servers if you're just going to shut them down? Actually have substantial updates in your games and have good DLC that is not just a character locked out of the game. It's ridiculous! Conclusion: Screw EA! After I buy Mirror's Edge 2 (Which EA should have no involvement in, only Dice.) I will never buy another game that EA has made or published ever again.… Expand

    The "professional" reviews of this game is reason to doubt the integrity of video game reviewers. Like the FIFA 14 development team, most reviews have obviously never been to an actual football game. FIFA 14 is utter rubbish. EA's attempt to implement more realistic elements has resulted in a game that is neither a realistic simulator nor an actual fun game.

    The best simulation of football, but only slightly better than its predecessor. If you’re planning to buy a new console I recommend waiting for the next-gen Fifa 14. [12/2013, p.48]

    FIFA 14 is a well done game and should keep fans interested for another season.

    There's nothing significant to complain about really. [Issue#140, p.104]
