Just started a career with wolves. This should be fun hahahaha
It would be more fun on FIFA 13.
I never thought I'd say this, because in the past I've always felt that people's complaints about the new FIFA every year were sort of a knee-jerk overreaction and an oversensitivity to change...
But yeah, this year, I'm that person I guess. FIFA14 is not as good as FIFA 13. Career mode is bad. I play on the same difficulty setting and can't score a goal let alone win a game. I guess I should just change it to an easier setting, but it frustrates me that I have to. Also, couldn't they have at least given us the
option to see player ratings? I'll grant that they may have been a bit arbitrary and that people over-used them, and that it may be more realistic without them, but for goodness sake it's a game and a fantasy and it doesn't have to be THAT realistic. I used to love improving lower rated players and watching their rating go up. Now it's not possible.
Also, the laggy menus in career were absurd (though I think they have since fixed this to a point), and the amount of bad connections in regular online matches are outnumbering the good ones. Why play if it isn't smooth?
At first I liked the game because the shooting/scoring looked a bit better and more realistic, and the shielding the ball button is a great feature, but overall I find myself getting frustrated and not playing the game for weeks at a time, which NEVER would've happened with 13.
I know that the truth of the matter is this: I will play it more, adapt to it, and end up enjoying it on some level, because even a bad version of a good game is still quite good, but it is a shame that it's not all that it could have been.
