    The gameplay is-What a shock.- "slightly improved (i am gonna directly quote from Wikipedia but open brackets to show the truth when needed)

    The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of the game feature a new game engine called the Ignite Engine. This features both graphical and gameplay advances on the previous game engine used by the FIFA series (slightly), the Impact Engine (which is used for the PlayStation 3, PC and Xbox 360 versions of the game). Improvements include advanced AI to make players react more like real human beings (Yeah right.), "True Player Motion" to create more realistic movement from the players, and more enhanced realism for environmental features such as weather and the crowd, which responds to what is happening on the pitch in a manner similar to a real crowd (we saw that on FIFA 13 as well).

    However the biggest feature they advertise the **** of it regularly is the Ultimate Team mode.............. Which i did not play as part of my EA sports resistance :)    … Expand

Currently, it is a husk of latent unfulfilled potential, and is a treated as a blatant cash cow for a lumbering shambles of a company. They also treat their customers with disgrace. If you go to EA Sports forums, they have “vent” treads and any criticism you voice about the game is considered heresy pending a banned account and confinement in the Tower of London. What EA Sports had achieved in the past 10 years would have been easily surpassed by any another studio with more ambition and commitment like Bethesda. When buying a Fifa-EA product, I find myself paying through the nose for their monopoly on licensing & copyright rather than for entertainment. They drip feed 1 or 2 untested “improvements” per year, most of which undermine smooth and consistent gameplay; their flagship features such as randomness, first touch passing and UFC style tackle/collision systems have totally lost the plot. This would be fine if it had been done correctly, but there is no consistency to the implementation here. The game lacks refinement and adding “randomness” to already poor gameplay makes for an extremely frustrating experience. The whole result seems like a rip-off of Madden or UFC. These professional “critical” reviews seem to glorify each FIFA game in isolation of the 10 previous iterations before it, marketing each release as some sort of ground breaking & innovative affair; when in fact there is much less to like. According to EA, “It doesn't matter if you call it soccer or football, in the end all you need to know is that FIFA is the only way to play” or so they hope! More work is done by EA Sports in each iteration of FIFA by patches & fixes, than the original game itself. IMHO the lack of innovation, absence of improvement and dreadful gameplay does not marry well with the high asking price.… Expand

    This is the end of the road for me. FIFA will not be getting bought again until I hear any sign of simple problems being fixed.

    I bought the game a couple of weeks ago (when the price had been reduced, a good 8 months after release) as I had refused to buy this FIFA at full price after my disappointment at FIFA 13. It was a terrible mistake and it won't be getting made again. I don't    This is the end of the road for me. FIFA will not be getting bought again until I hear any sign of simple problems being fixed.

    I bought the game a couple of weeks ago (when the price had been reduced, a good 8 months after release) as I had refused to buy this FIFA at full price after my disappointment at FIFA 13. It was a terrible mistake and it won't be getting made again.

    I don't understand how a game 8 months after release can still feel like a half-finished product. The gameplay is essentially the same as the last few FIFAs except now the players (even the finest of the lot: Messi, Ronaldo etc.) feel like they are running through quicksand and their first touches are usually appalling.

    The game play wasn't the main issue though. I was expecting the same-old mediocre game play. I was also expecting the career mode to be terrible. My expectations were fully warranted. Career mode is as bad as it has ever been. The Global Transfer Network is an absolute shambles and far too slow and laborious to even bother. Every game is the same against the computer as well, the style of play doesn't change depending on who you're playing against. All the CPU do is defend until the last moments of the game when you are suddenly trapped in your own box. It just confuses me how a certain aspect of a game can be so much worse than it was 7 years ago...

    Despite the lethargic players and the boring gameplay in career mode, the last few FIFAs have at least provided me with some fun in the online modes. Ultimate Team is still a fantastic concept and, although the money-grabbing techniques of tempting idiots to buy player packs still infuriates me, I still enjoy the game mode and find it much more exciting and faster paced playing against another human being. However this FIFA is the worst yet in that the servers just seem so awful. I have times where I have been winning 4-0 in the last ten minutes of a match online and the message comes up on the screen "Your opponent has left the match". In every other FIFA this meant I got a win... HOWEVER, in this FIFA I have been awarded with a loss the majority of times this has happened. Just terrible... So even the smidgen of fun I had on previous FIFAs has been removed from this game by a simple error.

    Another error that has made me furious is the Creation Centre. I spent a lengthy period of time creating a few teams and a tournament to put them in... only for a few of the teams to vanish. This was annoying enough as I had wasted my time creating these teams to no avail. Anyway, I decided I'd use what I had and tried to play Career Mode swapping my created teams into the Premier League. Every thing was fine... until BAM the game freezes every time I try to play a match with these created teams in Career Mode. So my purchase of the add-ons to have extra slots for creation centre and use created teams in career mode was completely useless. The worst execution of an add-on I have ever seen.

    Unlike most of the reviews on here, my review is scathing not because I have been beaten once in a match, or felt like the game was scripted, or even because the gameplay is just the same as previous FIFAs with minor, albeit still awful, changes. No, I was expecting these things. The reason I have written this review is because I have had enough and I wish others who feel the same way would join me in abandoning this clearly sinking ship. I can understand that games upon release will have errors, will have criticisms, but EA simply do nothing about this.

    Clearly the general public can see EA are no good! The very fact they have been voted worst company two years in a row shows this! So why do we, as consumers, still eat up the manure they are feeding us and waste our money that could be better spent elsewhere? The supercilious attitude of Moore towards EA's customers and the very disregarding nature of EA and their "customer support" is too much to bear anymore for me.

    I will not lie. I am not going to buy PES. All I can say is that, as a huge football fan, it is very disappointing that I must miss out on enjoying myself on a football game because there is no competitive market to provide a decent alternative. My FIFA days are over and anybody out there with any sense will join me. Boycott the FIFA series until something is drastically changed. Otherwise, they win.    … Expand

    Like noted by so many before me there is no joy in playing FIFA 14. Mostly, it's frustrating. Realistic? I want to have a vision of how to play in a given situation, and then execute that vision to the best of my ability with the xbox controller. I don't want the challenge to be in how well you can control the players, but how well you understand football.

I don't want the challenge to be in how well you can control the players, but how well you understand football. I am certain this is what most players want. Does EA fail to understand this?

    It hasn't gotten more realistic, just more difficult to control. The players are incontrollable and seem to me like morons. There is no realism in a player on a ball sometimes taking several seconds to turn and move in another direction when practically standing still. " It's like they all have hip and pelvic injuries the players do not move like athletes. "

    However, with a stroke of luck you can still beat on opponent 1on1 because they somehow managed to **** the defense up just as bad. Yay, balance!

    Also, perhaps to balance the game better (jk) seeing as well-orchestrated attacks are near impossible in FIFA 14 sometimes defensive AI's just run straight away from the situation leaving the opponent an open road to the net.

    Obviously headers are overpowered. Passes are strange to control and often even go to the wrong teammate.Through balls are absolutely ridicolous, it's like they have a life of their own. When playing defense in previous versions you could easily pick the player you wanted but now it always picks the wrong one.    … Expand

    I think it is really disgusting how EA have focused on the aspects of the game that brings them money rather than the game overall. Although they have improved ultimate team (as it's what brings them the extra cash) They have just added seasons to every other mode and believed it is enough of an improvement.

    Been playing since FIFA 08, this is by far the worst one I have played, the amount of game abusing tactics are beyond recognition. To name a few...
    -Infamous 'kick-off' glitch, assign your starting centre circle duo to LB+A and then LB+Y when he's about the break the offside trap and hey presto, you're in for a **** header.
    -Placing a strong player up front, this game is just all about    Been playing since FIFA 08, this is by far the worst one I have played, the amount of game abusing tactics are beyond recognition. To name a few...
    -Infamous 'kick-off' glitch, assign your starting centre circle duo to LB+A and then LB+Y when he's about the break the offside trap and hey presto, you're in for a **** header.
    -Placing a strong player up front, this game is just all about strength, use Ibrahimovic, Lukaku, Benteke, Falcao, Cavani and guess what, just use LB+Y and 50% of the time you're in!
    -A 'foul' button, I can't recall if this was introduced in FIFA 12, but I don't think it was, I think it was FIFA 13, why is there a button to deliberately pull a player back? I remember hearing about a 'diving' mechanic in pro evo and hearing the FIFA community ridicule it, how is this any different? And the fact you can get away with it most of the time? How stupid are these designers?
    -Broken first touch, no one enjoyed the implementation of the first touch initially, but most of us, including me and my friends, warmed to it, however, it has become to common on FIFA 14, due to the fact that better players climatise to tackling a player's touch rather than the player itself, in other words, your opponent will not tackle you, if the ball comes in for a goal kick, or a lobbed pass, he will just wait for your player to do a 'dodgy' first touch, steal the ball and possession is turned.
    -Headers and across goal shots, why is it, every iteration of FIFA, there must be some overpowered mechanic of Scoring? If you've all forgotten, FIFA 10, volleys volleys volleys, FIFA 11, LB Free kicks and power shots from 30+ yards out, FIFA 12, finesse finesse finesse galore, FIFA 13 Near post, every goal, just bash it in near post and now? It's headers and the ability to 'swerve' a shot so conveniently across your body as you shoot, that it just lands in the net, why can't all methods be equally good or bad? why must there be this abuse of tactics in every FIFA iteration.
    -Goalies, why is it, unless you have the TOTY 90 Petr Cech, that your goalie can't seem to push a ball above his head? The amount of times I have seen my goalie fall backwards, accepting defeat, allowing the ball to literally go above his un-extended arm, is beyond comprehension, why does this exist? Other than as a catalyst for EA's intended premise, matches which end with 10+ goals.
    - Physics engine, I had a player, yesterday, who was rightfully awarded a yellow card for fouling my opponent, however, his second yellow came from him preparing to shoot, having the ball slid from his possession, then kicking the opponent due to the absence of a ball, enough said.
    -Contracts/Injuries, it's become far too apparent nowadays that EA only has one thing on it's mind, quite obviously, money; personally I've always despised contracts and injuries, but it's gotten to the point where I've physically injured myself out of frustration, winning games 3-0 then losing or drawing, exiting the game annoyed, then having to apply 4 contracts and buy 4 contracts, then applying an injury card after I buy it, I eventually don't return to the game.
    -The absence of care for other game modes, my and my friends love pro clubs, however we fail to experience it's full potential due to the lack of money it creates via in-game purchases I.E. ultimate team, this is just solid evidence that EA only cares about profits, as a business I understand this approach, but as a games company I have no longer any respect for them in terms of their ethos, a company should both want to appease its audience aswell as satisfy it's monetary needs, however this has failed in the former, I honestly have never been so annoyed at the fact that I need to buy this game, ever year, because the only other alternative is PES and none of my friends are willing to buy that, this is in fact the lesser of two evils, but that just sums it up perfectly.
    -Broken ultimate team traits, it's obvious when some teams you come up against in ultimate team have 7/11 TOTY players and 4 players (Mainly Colombian) like cuadrado and constant, that some players are just in fact, utterly utterly broken, the fact that these players can compete with the rest of their team-mates and literally not stand out as worse or better just tells you that some traits are so much more valuable than others, i.e. pace... this is an affront to the type of footballers I adore, I.E. Vidal/Pirlo/Gerrard/Xavi who aren't known for their pace, therefore suffering on the ridiculous stage that is 'ultimate team' and why in the end? Because they're slow, so they're obviously bad... duh... sigh...
    My advice? If you want a football game, buy this one, but don't let it get to you like it has to me, I've fallen yet again for another steamling pile of AIDS contributed by EA themselves, they are literally the epitome of a scum TNC, I hope they go out of business not just for this, but for other franchises they've killed, R.I.P Dragon age/Dead Space... ):    … Expand

    I can honestly say that this by far THE WORST GAME EVER MADE!!!! YES, EVEN WORSE THAN FIFA 13 AND BLACK OPS 1 AS IF THESE GAMES WEREN'T **** ENOUGH TO COUNT AS GAMES. The game had potential of being decent with some attempts to improve game modes including FUT. However it failed miserably, so here are some things that have really pissed me out on FIFA this year.

    1) I can understand why    I can honestly say that this by far THE WORST GAME EVER MADE!!!! YES, EVEN WORSE THAN FIFA 13 AND BLACK OPS 1 AS IF THESE GAMES WEREN'T **** ENOUGH TO COUNT AS GAMES. The game had potential of being decent with some attempts to improve game modes including FUT. However it failed miserably, so here are some things that have really pissed me out on FIFA this year.

    1) I can understand why to make the pace of the game slower than it was on the last game because it way too fast and players with 85+ pace is basically unstoppable. But with this game they took this too far and make every player on the game really slow so that players with around 30 pace can catch up to a player with 90+ pace and making these players unusable.

    2) The amount of headers and rebounds that are scored on this game, mainly UT. The number of games that i have played, about 90% of goals i concede are headers and rebounds. The headers i concede are mainly from corners, it always happens in the 45th or the 90th minute but i never score any headers from corners but that's what costs people games on FIFA and to top this one off, HEADERS ARE SO OVERPOWERED!!!!!.

    3) The game is also ruined by absolute biased referees that does not apply the rules of football on a video game. That's terrible because referees only given decisions that are not fouls or whoever gets the possession. They book players when you touch an opposition's player and does not book any players for bad, rash tackles. What's worse is that when you make a fair tackle when on a one on one situation, THE REFEREE WILL SEND YOU OFF!!!!! WTF!!!!! Why can't they have real life referees instead?

    4) The transfer market system on Career mode is a **** joke. If you want to buy the best players in the game, you look at their overall ratings and stats. But that's nothings compared to this game. The players don't have an overall rating until you scout them to confirm the player's overall rating. But who wants a scout in your club anyway, you will never find any unknown potential young players in the country you want the scout to go to for finding these players.

    5) This one may not be the game designer's fault for having in the game, but i really do feel when you play online on UT that people should never use any substitutes during an UT match because your wasting more contracts by using more players in one match. This can really also change the flow of an UT match instantly which is annoying because gamers are too scared of losing matches so they decide to bring on the most overpowered players off the bench instead of keeping the team as it is. It would help because it will stop the opposition from wasting your time when pausing the game.

    6) The thing that i think that pisses me off the most out of anything in this steaming pile of goat **** game is the EA SERVERS THEMSELVES!!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THE WORST GAMING COMPANY IN THE WORLD ARE STILL MAKING THIS DISASTER OF A GAME SERIES SINCE FIFA 12!!!!!! HOW CAN THEY TAKE A POPULAR SPORT AND MAKE IT INTO A GAME SERIES WITHOUT MAKING IT DISAPPOINTING? THAT'S IS WHAT THEY HAVE DONE. EA SPORTS ARE SO LAZY THAT THEY DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO FIX THEIR SERVERS WHICH REQUIRES MAINTENANCE FOR **** HOURS AND PREVENTS ANYONE FROM PLAYING ONLINE, UPDATES DOES NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE TO THE GAME WHAT SO EVER, THE AMOUNT OF TIMES YOU GET DISCONNECTED FROM THE SERVERS TO COST PEOPLE MATCHES WHEN THEY ARE WINNING. THE ABSOLUTE WORST THING ABOUT FIFA THAT EA SPORTS HAVE INCLUDED IS EA SCRIPTING. THIS HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT EA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR, HAVING PEOPLE TO PLAY YOUR GAMES AND HAVING FUN, RIGHT? NO!!!!! THE EA SERVERS DECIDES WHO WINS AND WHO LOSES EVERY MATCH. THIS DOES NOT MAKE ONE GAMER BETTER THAN THE OTHER BECAUSE IT'S FAIR ON PEOPLE WHO WANT TO PLAY A GAME LIKE THIS, EA SERVERS ARE **** CHEATERS, THEIR SCAMMERS, THEIR AN INSULT TO THE GAMING INDUSTRY WHO WOULD HAVE SPENT MORE TIME PLAYING BETTER GAMES INCLUDING GTA 5, THEY DON'T KNOW HOW FOOTBALL WORKS, THEY OVERPRICE THEIR GAMES SO THAT THEY CAN EARN MORE MONEY TO MAKE MORE ****TY FIFA GAMES, THEY DON'T MAKE ANY IMPROVEMENTS ON PEOPLE'S REQUESTS FOR THEIR NEXT GAMES, EA SERVERS REFUSE TO GIVE ANY PEOPLE REFUNDS FROM THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS THEY HAVE, EA SERVERS PAY REVIEWERS TO MAKE POSITIVE REVIEWS WHERE REALLY THEY SHOULD ALL BE NEGATIVE.

    EA SPORTS, I REALLY HOPE THAT SOON ENOUGH THAT YOUR COMPANY GOES BUST BECAUSE WHY CAN'T YOU LET ANOTHER SPORTS COMPANY MAKE A FIFA GAME? YOUR LATEST FIFA GAME IS THE WORST GAME OF ALL TIME AND DOES NOT DESERVE TO HAVE MILLIONS OF SALES. PEOPLE BUY YOUR GAMES BECAUSE THEY EXPECT A GREAT SPORTS GAME. IF THEY ARE NOT ENJOYING THE GAME MAKE CHANGES ON PEOPLE'S REQUESTS. IN MY OPINION WHAT WOULD BE BETTER, YOU STOP MAKING FIFA GAMES AND SCAMMING PEOPLE TO BUY YOUR OVERPRICED PIECES OF **** GAMES. ANY PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT WANTS TO PLAY A FOOTBALL GAME, DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND NEVER BUY THE LATEST FIFA GAME, EVER IT'S **** DREADFUL.    … Expand

    WORST FIFA YET!!!! I buy FIFA every year to play it with my friends and for the love of the sport, but EA ruins it every year. Where do I start?

    awful, doesn't always pass in the direction u want it to, always lags in game, players' stats mean nothing (e.g. when terry paced my Walcott), packs are a waste of money cos you never get anyone good and its just ea trying to take your money, rarely players will respond to your commands straight away so don't expect to do any volleys, lower rated goalkeepers seem to perform better than theawful, doesn't always pass in the direction u want it to, always lags in game, players' stats mean nothing (e.g. when terry paced my Walcott), packs are a waste of money cos you never get anyone good and its just ea trying to take your money, rarely players will respond to your commands straight away so don't expect to do any volleys, lower rated goalkeepers seem to perform better than the best ones, ea has based the player ratings mainly on their ages and whether they play for man city or not, sometimes when the game freezes you will receive a loss even if your winning, ea appears to pick the winner before kick off so one player will always suffer, on pro clubs someone will always lag loads, usually the team with benteke will beat the team with messi, contracts are pointless.

    Remember the time when FIFA video games were supposed to be fun? When you used to be jolly happy because you played them? No more! EA Sports have produced the ultimate no-fun game! FIFA14! I usually play the seasons mode for 1,2 quick games every day. But this game has become a complete joke.

    First of all, FIFA has decided to make through balls impossible. They probably thought. "Hey    Remember the time when FIFA video games were supposed to be fun? When you used to be jolly happy because you played them? No more! EA Sports have produced the ultimate no-fun game! FIFA14! I usually play the seasons mode for 1,2 quick games every day. But this game has become a complete joke.

    First of all, FIFA has decided to make through balls impossible. They probably thought. "Hey remember, when FIFA 13 was fun because people could play nice through balls? Let's kill that off!" Great idea. Now everyone has to play lob passes. And like that alone isn't annoying enough (because which team in real life would play with lob passes) the defenders are always so stupid to stop running when someone lobs the ball. Great idea EA Sports! What they have also decided is that FIFA 13 was too much fun because you could play nice combinations. But there they also thought "Let's get rid of that". The touches are ridiculous now. 5 star team players act like this the first time they play. Also they need a radius of 5 meters to make a turn. Good job, EA!

    Goal keepers are horrible at corners!

    9 of ten goals are scored by headers. According to EA football players are now better at scoring with their head than with their feet! You learn something new every day! Thank you EA Canadians! You big football nation!

    Some special players like Ibrahimovic are impossible to defend against! He can do anything he wants. You don't have skills and you don't know how to play football? Fine! Just play with PSG and Ibrahimovic. Even Champions League final defenders like Hummels or Subotic won't win a header against him.

    When you play a long pass to your players in front, it will most of the time go to the offside player! They can stand on the same exact line and 5 of 6 players can be onside but you can be sure the player who is off side will touch the ball first even though you never meant to play the ball to him.

    Probably don't need to remind people that the games are all scripted and that there are streaks! EA, this is football, not a pit game in a Las Vegas casino!

    What is also really nice and realistic is, that after you score a goal and there is a kick-off in the middle of the pitch it's actually a lot easier for the opponent to score a goal! So we all know that after a goal both teams go back in their own half! So obviously it should be hard to score a goal 5 seconds after the kick-off? That's why they rarely ever happen, right? Not according to EA. Watch a freaking game of football (or soccer like you call it) once in a while!

    But there are also one good thing! EA has worked on the goal celebrations! Isn't that great? Isn't that why you buy a game? Not because you wanna play a fun game with nice passing goals but so can you have 100 different goal celebrations that you can rub in your opponent's face when the dramatic game script allows you to score!

    This game is finally dead to me! Never again! I want to play football against people. Not "dramatic script ball" against nerds who only try to beat you by exposing the flaws of the game. This is not football! This is not fun! I'm sick of being frustrated after playing a video game! EA please stop buying the FIFA license when you bring out a game like that! It's a disgrace.    … Expand

    This game is so bad and it's also scripted by E.A. so u won't win most of your games. In my whole life of gaming i have never played a more enraging game than this. Sure you might feel happy for a game or two but after a while E.A. will troll you then you will be in a world of rage. All i have to say is, this game is not worth your money so DON'T BUY IT!

    My mom walked by me while i was playing this game and actually asked me "Why is everyone running in slow motion"?
    The players do not feel realistic, they feel like they are mentally challenged.

    I have owned every Fifa since 2006 and never have I been so disappointed. Fifa tried to make the game more scrappy then in years past but they went way too far. The game exaggerates the momentum of the game far too much and if your team is out of form then it feels like you're taking on Chelsea with a team of preschoolers. Shouldn't I be the one dictating the momentum of my team? I mean ifI have owned every Fifa since 2006 and never have I been so disappointed.

Shouldn't I be the one dictating the momentum of my team? I mean if I get nervous going 1-0 down then it will reflect in my play or if I am feeling confident it will naturally reflect in my play. Instead Fifa makes my whole team panic and run around aimlessly if I go one down. With the new modifications it feels more scripted then ever. If I had the guts I would have snapped the disk in half months ago. I still have dreams that I do.… Expand

    This game is **** stupid. Just cause someone picks brazil means they win every header, never get called for fouls and never get beat on defense. This game would be realistic if they didn't have the coach suck the reffs dicks before the game to win. Make this **** for both ways.

    Rubbish game. EA needs to stop copying and pasting from previous games and build a new fifa.

    Online, this game is so bad. I've never seen a Fifa game this bad before. Seriously you might be selling the game EA this year, but i will not be buying Fifa 15, forget it.

    The game is without doubt scripted in FUT mode. A few weeks ago I won every match, against anyone. It was so easy. It was like all my shots went in. Now I have lost 28 out of the last 30, some of them against people who doesnt look like they have ever played before. I can have 20 shots at goal against one and still lose 1-0. Scripted.

    Easily the worse version of FIFA I have played over the past 15 + years.

    The controls are horrible, for example when you take the ball off a player it doesn't flow well. I took the ball from a striker 3 times but it just bounced back to him and he scored. It's almost like playing a poker machine that is rigged. Every single cutaway shot in the game is annoying.

    In this year's installment FIFA doesn’t take any larger leaps forward. It is still a polished football game for the dedicated fan base. And for the player who doesn’t want to play alone Ultimate Team is probably better than ever. But it is still too bad that EA hasn’t worked more on improving the core mechanics of the game.

    FIFA 14 pushes the franchise forward in baby steps without providing any major surprises or new “wow” features, yet is still streets ahead of the competition and a must for any footie fan.

    While I have mixed feelings about EA’s perch on this lucrative pedestal, it’s hard to to argue that the EA Canada team hasn’t earned it, and doesn’t continue to earn it, by delivering a game that really does feel better, really does feel different, every year, even if you have to be an avid player of the game to really appreciate how.
