    EA should add new features to FIFA where you don't have to spend money on. Besides that, the FIFA franchise is in general good for casuals.

    Haven't ever enjoyes soccer in real life so it's no surprise the virtual version is it's own disappointment . It really is just soccer which i guess is what the game says it it but given the attention it has I really assumed they was something else to it .

I understood that they were trying to promote realism and make the game less fluid to reflect that, but I just remember this game being unbelievably unresponsive to whatever I pressed (particularly shooting, there would be a massive delay). Pace was also a terrible problem because more often than not I'd find myself with players as fast as Gareth Bale during gameplay being matched with someone as slow as Mertesacker even off the ball. The worst FIFA game I have ever played hands down, I tolerated the absolutely abysmal gameplay for a month before snapping after not being able to deal with no more. I also remember Career Mode being very laggy when scrolling through menus. Very annoying just to do the basics within that mode outside of matches. The graphics is the only pretty good thing I can take from this game, otherwise I would have scored this a 1. Never again.… Expand

    I wouldn't recommend this game unless you haven't played a football game in years. The gameplay isn't improved enough compared to FIFA 13, and there isn't enough new content when compared to FIFA 13.

    FIFA 14 replaces the quick pacing of its previous installments with slow, heavier gameplay which extinguishes the excitement and fun of the franchise.

    On the downside-corners are relatively easy to score from, passes still feel a little awkward when running at speed, some of the fouls are a little soft and the career mode takes a while to load.

    Almost perfect game for football lovers

    I love football, of cause both playing and watching. Do you think there are only two ways to enjoy football? I will indicate the new way to enjoy it...video games. Nowadays, we have too many choices of them, so I recommend you the best choice of them. This is called "FIFA14". It is played all over the world, and I like you to know it is the best game to enjoy football.

    FIFA14 released in 2013, it can play PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows. It is releasing in October to November of every year, and sold about 10 millions all over the world. From this number, you will notice the popularity of FIFA series. I absolutely like them, so I have to go to video game shop at every autumn.

    The biggest advantage of FIFA series is a variation of "REAL" teams, leagues, and players. You may notice from the name of it, EA(a company of produce FIFA series) has an only license from FIFA(Federation Internationale de Football Association). Therefore, you can use real names of players, teams, leagues, and surprisingly, involved stadiums, directors, and referees. We can enjoy the game with real things. "Reality" may be one of the largest reason of popularity of them.

    As I said, FIFA series released every year. Some of you think we do not need to buy every year. It is normal to think so, but they are upgrading every time with amazing features. A case of FIFA14, the biggest attraction is "Online play". It can connect to the Internet, and we can battle with the players around the world. In an amazing mode called "Ultimate Team", we can choose our favorite players, make our own team, and play games at the Online. Actually I play this mode many times, it must not make me bored because it can battle with different players every time unless nobody plays FIFA14.

    However, Online mode has two confusing problems. First, annoying players in online community. We can enjoy the game with players all over the world, but there are annoying players whose only purpose is making people uncomfortable. I met them many times, it was really irritating. Next FIFA must think about this problem. Second, so long loading time. I felt the longest time of loading at the online mode of FIFA14. You may think this is a little problem, but it can be big one. If you try to wait every loading time, you will got many stress, and tired. Irascible people, please be careful.

    Throughout it has a few problems, it must be the first choice of many football video game. I bought it last year, but I can enjoy it by now. All football lovers, shall we open the new world of football?    … Expand

    FIFA 14 is the most realistic FIFA yet. The commentary is incredible. It even mentions previous results. At first defending is a hard task with multiple skill moves unleashed against you, but with practice you can keep clean sheets but I would say FIFA 14 is attack biased. The attack is slick and precise. A brilliant game

    Issue#2 - goalie bugs. Goalie will run out on his own without me pressing the triangle button. It's very irritating. Please fix in the next edition.

    Issue#3 - Highlight packages and people that WATCH THEM - why do I have to be forced to watch every highlight because my opponent won't skip them? Introductions, half-time, off-sides, fouls, goals, etc. It's incredibly irritating. Then the opponent will use all THREE of their pauses in the game just to piss you off further. Please reduce the amount of pauses in a game to ONE and allow me to skip highlights. I don't care if the opponent wants to watch them.

    Issue#4 - Laggers. Theres nothing worse than playing a cup match and your opponent lags to the point you can't make proper plays. I cannot quit the game or I get the loss. Can you come up with a system so that if a game is incredibly laggy, ea stops the game so neither opponent gets the win/loss? If not, at least bring back the mutual quit option (can't remember what its called).

    Other than that, its a VERY FUN GAME. I love the pace and the AI response to my set plays. They're almost always where I want them to be. The players feel more fluid and not as stiff like in previous fifas. Well done, EA. Looking forward to the next edition.    … Expand

    I really do not understand why FIFA get's high reviews, is it because it's the only worthwhile football game on the market? Magazines and sites post compareable ratings to games that go on to win awards and golden joysticks which I must say is incredibly irresponsible of them when customers buy their publications to read their reviews.

Magazines and sites post compareable ratings to games that go on to win awards and golden joysticks which I must say is incredibly irresponsible of them when customers buy their publications to read their reviews.

    Firstly I'll cover the cons of FIFA and I'm sad to say that this list is longer than the pros.

    - Pacing and Crossing Mechanics
    Simply... crossing and heading/volleying is far to easy, you can take apart the highest difficulty of opponent by multiple goals if you can break and cross to your strikers. It doesn't matter so much about the defender's AI (though it can help) it's just the fact that headers go in most of the time even when they are close to the keeper and would be realistically saveable.

    -Bugs and Freezes and Career Mode woes
    One of my favourite modes has always been Career Mode and it's sad to see that FIFA (perhaps deliberately) are letting it stale. I really don't care about Ultimate Team, I'd much rather play as my favourite League Two team and get promoted all the way to the heights of the Premier League.

    Firstly is the ridiculous retire rate of players which quite frankly can wreck teams when one of your best players decides to quit at the age of 29. As an example I bought Marvin Emnes when my team were promoted to the Championship and he retired a season later at 29... realistic no? XD

    The game freezes in Career, moreso than in other modes which can be a pain when it does it before an autosave.

    -EA Server Instability
    Just annoying to be honest, even to a point that I had to change passwords in order to access FIFA online (whilst every other game I had still worked). The EA Football Club also decides it randomly wants to disconnect when every other online game I play is fine.

    -EA Support/Community
    They are well known for being terrible and with FIFA it seems the case once again with countless problems being ignored on the forums and I know a few frustrated customers who are swearing off buying another FIFA game on this gen of console.

    Pros

    Gameplay -
    Under the bugs there is a competent football game which is enjoyable to play especially in parties of friends. The pacing and movement is better than 13 with improvements to the defensive controls which were irritating on 13 for me personally.

    Besides the easy crosses most other aspects seem to be well balanced with the ability to be able to take on players and play to the touchline (something you could do on PES with great ease for many years until FIFA noticed how clunky their control was).

    On balance this review is based on measuring FIFA against other franchises and companies sports games and many, many, many offer much more depth and less buggy problems. EA have a real winner in FIFA once they repair the rips and iron out the creases. However you need to look towards more recent previous instalments or the next gen consoles for a better game than this one.    … Expand

    Come to game play and the only real word to describe it is horrible. Every second kick is offside. in one game, I had 11 offsides, while the CPU had 5 offsides itself. I'm serious, offside from a goal kick? Off side from a free kick, EA, do you actually know the rules of football? Offside if the player gets involved, not if he's over the other side of the pitch. are you serious? In the same game, the CPU must have some boot on him, 3 times he kicked it out for a goal kick, from his own goal kick, like wtf?

    Also, would have thought with the commentary, that you would know the names of teams and players by now, after 21 years of producing a football game, after all, they're built into your game. Commentators talk about "the team who won" etc, without saying the name of the team, same with "the player who scored deserved to score" again, use his name!!

    I find it astonishing that EA Sport have gone so far backwards with their gaming. Fifa 14 is without doubt the worst game to play or navigate. There is no way I will purchase Fifa 15, it would need a complete, start from scratch rebuild. I thought Fifa 12 was average, compared to Fifa 8 & 9, but my god, Fifa 14 is an absolute bomb.

They are very misleading to people who look up games before they purchase or rent them. I own FIFA 12 and have played quite a few of them since 2000s. I recently heard about how good PES 144 was to some people saying it was realistic and after playing PES 14 I had a very hard time going back to FIFA 12. But PES was missing alot of licenses and kits and upgrading was annoying me. I thought about getting FIFA 14 but the reviews were just awful on here. Anyways oil got it for my birthday coming up from my wife and wow wtf is wrong with everybody it is brilliant. It is the most fun I've had in in a sports game ever. I love that it is more realistic. Have you guys even tried the pure shot where u can shoot a screaming longshot from way back to almost half field.. Hold down the RT or R2 key and rap right stick to set up shot ahead of u for space and wham its a middle. everything from graphics to gameplay is a much needed change and if u don't like this year and want a more arcade east game that babies can play then go back and play FIFA 12 while I enjoy having fun playing the master piece that is FIFA 14 its great on ps3 can't wait to play on ps4. I'm hooked playing on my days off and when I get hone from work. Best FIFA ever and best game I play the most and I own sports and skyrim tales of xillia watchdogs last of us etc. go but now if u want something different than the other FIFA games.

If you play offline you can enjoy the many of games there are to offer such as Career mode or Be a pro, Its a nice way to relax after a hard day. There are difficultly levels that can be changed depending on the player so it gives everyone a chance to better themselves at the game, and it also makes you access the tactical part of your mind as you have to think fast on the pitch and smart of it.

    The online is the most played area of the game, with Pro clubs, Head to Head and Ultimate Team. Pro clubs is very fun you can interact with as many as 11 friends, you can have a laugh or you can be competitive but everyone has a good time. Head to Head competitive only as you will be battling against other players trying to be the best team. Ultimate Team can be played in two ways offline or online, you can decide to spend money or not it doesn't make a difference. You win by being the better team and by things going in your favor, It's just like real football you don't win all the time.

Protracted matches v cpu on ultimate team are ground out to 1-0 affairs on any difficulty setting above semi pro. I've tried and tried to get on with it and assumed it was just me being garbage at it but I'm clearly not the only one. It's a shame, there's loads they have added to improve it over the years but the grave gradually whittled away at the excitement of this game leaving a very dreary experience.

They focus way to much on ultimate team which I don't play because content wise its become very repetitive and not very fun. The same goes for the Career modes because once you learn the trends its a cake walk. Also who ever coded the game play should not have let this product out the door. There are many glitches that ruin games (Players going invisible, sound glitches, unrealistic physics, and players standing around when the ball is right next to them). Many of the games customizing features (Madden 09 still has the best in my opinion) don't work. Chants and customs songs often don't work in games and cause the game to crash. Its very common that Away team chants are played more than often. Updating your rosters with created players complete ruins the team they were on making you reset all the squads, deleting the player and re updating. which reminds me very often during updates they are often a month or 2 behind, and players get put on the wrong teams. Lastly the career mode form swings are awful. its fun when your team is in good form but if one player gets in bad form and it spreads to your captain your screed for a month or 2 unless you buy a new in form captain. don't bother playing the games when your in bad form because it will just frustrate you and you'll still lose. then you'll be like me and play the same game 5 times before finally giving up. Lang story short the EA Fifa franchise has to start from the ground up if they want there negative image to change. Small changes like we've seen year to year recently just haven't done it and have actually regressed the game.… Expand

    I don't have much bad to say about the game engine compared to all the other reviews, overall I enjoy the new engine and the game play it forces you to adapt (More controlled build up going from defense to attack and so on).

    However, what I can't stand with this title is everything around the game play, such as...

    - Extremely slow menu's. Everything you do outside of actually playing games is sluggish and slow.
    - Market functions being completely broke on Ultimate Team. (I.e. search functions not working at all)
    - The supremely unstable EA servers. You wonder at times how a company at this day and age can have such bad server infrastructure.

    With the resources EA possess I am surprised how a AAA title can be so messed up this far from release.    … Expand

    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]
