Fifa 14

Re: Fifa 14 Demo

I really don't understand why FIFA is so popular, but alot of what I have heard is that it is becuase Pro Evo doesn't have all the teams/players/stadiums.

But in the end who really cares?

Surely gameplay wins overall.

I admit I am a Pro Evo player from way back. Pro Evo 4 and 5 were in my opinion the best. Then they lost track for a few years, but last years version was very good gameplay wise. I have played FIFA through the years as every other man and his dog has it. However,
gameplay wise it still doesn't feel right. Maybe I'm biased but at least I've tried playing both, whereas the majority of FIFA players write off Pro Evo because of the reasons mentioned without even playing it. Anyway options files fix most of these things easily.

I only ever play any of these games against my housemates. Playing against the AI is pointless, and playing online is the same as everyone simply picks the better teams. It makes it increasingly boring. When I play against my housemates, we have a rule - you have three chances to pick a random team by holding the square button down. Then you pick the best out of your three options. Keeps it interesting and means you have games where people don't just rely on a star studded line up to win, that is, unless you happen to be lucky and pick City.

What!

You can't pick the best out of the three!

You press square, then decide whether to stick or twist. If you twist you press square again and then choose to stick or twist again. If you're still not happy you get to press square one last time but then you're stuck with whoever you get. No going back!

Makes for some interesting ties and becomes more tactical. If you're Finland playing against England you're not going to go all out attack, makes it more realistic.

HAHA this is what we do! Great for predrinking too.

I assumed these were the international rules of multiplayer FIFA?

It's how we've always played.

As did I, maybe its like pool, with certain pubs having different rules 'you cant do that in this living room'<br /><br />-- Thu Oct 03, 2013 5:08 pm --<br /><br />

After playing both the PES and new FIFA demo and reading bad reviews on both games, I think I'll stick to FIFA 12 for now!

What really annoys me about EA is each year they try and force you to play the game the way they want you to. Why not make the game so if you want to play shit Stoke style football you can but if you want to play fast flowing football where you can actually dribble the ball you can do that as well.

This post makes too much sense.

Unlike EA, but tbf they hold all the cards so can do what they want and still make billions. It is sad really that we have to cater for them and accept what they do in a market which is supposed to cater for our entertainment.

I'm on my 4th season on FIFA13 and am having a great season. The boys have told me I can upload the career to FIFA14 and carry on the same career on the new game. Is this right?

Played the full game for the first time earlier and I'm pretty disappointed. Positives - features have been improved, I like the realism of interceptions and shooting seems marginally better on first impression. Negatives - pace & control non-existent when dribbling, the goalkeeping is dire (typically my GK most of the time, rather than CPU) and headed goals are now too easy for either set of attackers.

I suppose it gives them something to 'fix' for FIFA 15, whilst at the same time probably sabotaging good aspects of this year's version...

The headers are comical. Jermaine defoe can beat a 6 ft 4 centre half, but Klose cant win a header for chips.

I'm a bit of a FIFA geek but not so much in the career mode area, as far as I know, you can't transfer it over.
