FIFA 14 Review - Heading In The Wrong Direction

Mr. Kennedy of TheKoalition.com writes: EA Sports has had a long and storied history with the sport of football since they released FIFA International Soccer in 1993. Since that release, we have seen a brand new FIFA title released virtually every year since that initial football game and FIFA 14 is the latest in the long line of titles.

EA's primary focus for FIFA 14 is to slow down the play and become more methodical. Players are encouraged to try and slowly build up their play through midfield and find a way through their opponents defense. This shows that EA were somewhat listening to the complaints of FIFA 13's mindless counter-attack style. The other added features includes "Pure Shot" which EA told us will "transform shooting, making every shot attempt feel real, and when players connect with the perfect strike, feel exhilarating." This means the higher-quality players will still be able to shoot rather effectively whilst losing their balance or being challenged for the ball. When you connect properly with the ball, shots do feel more exhilarating when they land beautifully in the top corner. Where there is a yin there is also a yang as this new feature is negated by the easiness of headers.

This is an honest review, you're way off the mark.

KiLLeRCLaM3870d ago

He gave the game a 55/100 you honestly saying that it really deserves that score? You haven't played the game at all or you're probably some european PES fanboy I played the game for free on my Note2 and even that gets 90+ rating.. PFfff

Soldierone3871d ago

Does this game have blatant advertising like NHL? Its seriously annoying in NHL14. We pay 60+ dollars for a game and still need to see all these ads?

KiLLeRCLaM3871d ago

what would you rather see on the boards and ice? pictures that you bave on your facebook? NHL 15 will incorporate that for you..Not a bad idea though, or?

Soldierone3871d ago

Its not those ads. The is a Verizon or car ad on loading screens, when you open up "hockey ultimate team" it says "brought to you by Honda."

They also have trophies that say "Honda - Do this" Let alone the Gilete razor ad that shuts the music off in the main menu so you watch the commercial....

KiLLeRCLaM3870d ago

If it's in the game, It's in the game!!

KeiKei3871d ago

fifa 14 is actually balanced. 'unbalanced corners' are your fault. you just have to learn how to defend.

Publicglutton3870d ago

Troll review, NOT getting enough hits so you thought you slate Fifa 14. You can at least give it a realistic score, your just taking the piss.

MrKennedy3870d ago

It seems like the people who label this a "troll review" seems like they want reviews to favour the game in question just because they already like it.

I thought the point of a review was to read someone's opinion (for what it's worth) and use that to judge whether or not you should buy the product or not.

This wasn't a favourable review that was paid for. To label a review as a "troll review" just because it doesn't suit your preference is just plain ignorant.

Try reading the review instead of just looking at the score. I explain why I gave it an average score.

Publicglutton3870d ago

It's NOT a matter of wanting reviews in favour of Fifa 14 it's a matter of reviews that reflect a realistic opinion with a realistic score, 55/100 definitely is NOT.
For example take a look at "Lords of Football" an absolutely awful game with a score of 52/100 and you think Fifa 14 deserves only a few points more "you're way off the mark",even if you were being highly critical.
Perhaps you need to review you're review policy.

MrKennedy3870d ago

Well if it was truly awful then it should have received a score of 20-25/100.

How do you decipher a "realistic opinion"?

It seems like I'm not the only one who thinks FIFA 14 is average at best: http://masonicgamer.com/ea-...

I've read plenty of other FIFA 14 reviews and the common word used throughout is "clumsy".

I guess we must ALL be trolls...

EA Delists Latest FIFA Games From Prominent Digital Stores

Following the release of EA Sports FC 24, the publisher seems to have removed FIFA 14 up to 22 from major digital storefronts.

MrNinosan216d ago

And as a Journalist, you should know why.
FIFA ain't allowing the games on the storefronts without EA paying for them. Pretty obvious.

Rols216d ago

Looks like the FIFA licensing deal has expired. No mystery about it.

badboyz09216d ago (Edited 216d ago )

EA FC please Flop🤞

You gotta love EA. They've always got their finger on the pulse of the gaming community in regards to the wants and desires of the players /s

potatoseal334d ago

Loot boxes --- "surprise mechanics"
NFTs ----------- "virtual creations"

just_looken334d ago

Well its sports gamers so they will buy the nft's very fast.

BrainSyphoned334d ago

EA: We need a new way to be voted the worst company
Nike: Have you tried child slave labor? No?... well how about a Jordan NFT. We will even throw in Chinese LeBron NFTs for free!

potatoseal334d ago

Can they even read the room? The world wide gaming room filled with gamers. No one wants this. They know they will probably get away with putting NFTs in their sport games.

XiNatsuDragnel334d ago

EA and Activision are competing for worst company fr.

mariopasta334d ago (Edited 334d ago )

How could they not know this is the wrong ass move. If EA survive this which they will, they are seriously untouchable. Too many casuals play their games and dont know what happening or even give a dam

JackBNimble334d ago

How is Nike still surviving?

People talk about justice this justice that but are so self absorbed that they will continue to support these companies so they can have their neat little things.

At the end of the day , everything the plebs say is all a lie.

Good idea but I expect the NCAA and college boards to swipe away all that money for themselves.

badboyz09364d ago

This means 2 things
