Fifa and Pro Evolution (Fifas biggest rival) usually turn up just after real life transfers have been completed.We are still waiting for something new to happen with the game engines used but it might be that EA will wait for the new Consoles to get released and running before updating the game engine We will update with more info once it comes out. | |

Gameplay is slow, laggy and frustrating
Career mode has been made tedious
Ultimate Team still lacks requested features
I’m having a guess here, and that guess is that the release of the next generation of consoles is largely why fifa 14 for the Playstation 3 is such a mess. I’ve been playing football (soccer) games since 1998 and can confidently say this is the worst football game i’ve ever played. The gameplay is laggy and broken. Glitches are everywhere. matches are far too slow, players far too clumsy and to put it bluntly the game is no longer enjoyable. After finding a near-perfect formula in fifa 13, EA attempted to modify the gameplay heavily and in doing so have completely ruined it.
Outside of the matches themselves, the career mode changes have slowed down manager mode to the point where it’s now a chore rather than fun. It’s tried to take a step towards football manager and has now ended up in a poor middle ground that doesn’t cater to anyone. I enjoy football manager games and the depth they provide, i also enjoy fifa games and the simplicity they bring. I wanted more involvement as a manager, but the new transfer system is far too awkward and tedious to use. The old scouting system provided enough depth while not being too much of a hindrance or slowing things down too much. The new career mode attempts to be a sim but doesn’t pay enough attention to the important details to be one. There is still too much erratic behavior issues (injured players complaining that you aren’t playing them) and broken areas such as player growth that fifa still can’t seem to get right.
Ultimate team has seem some additions, but they’re still missing the collection book, which is an omission that is far too frustrating for a collection based game mode. The additions and changes that were made were minor, and still sidestepped important requirements (improvements to the search function but still no function to avoid duplicates) the lack of legends which were made as an xbox only exclusive is also poor.
The menus are poorly designed and laggy as they have been for quite a while now, while lots of the information displayed is randomly a lot smaller than usual, which makes it effort to actually read player information or make decisions.
Conclusion: All in all, the focus for the game is definitely off-point, providing minor/pointless additions while failing to provide exciting gameplay or the most requested features within the main game modes. The weakest fifa title to date, and a massive disappointment as a long term player.
