Reviews of FIFA 14

Customer Ratings:

Pros:

Fun

Realistic Looking

Good Gameplay

Cons:

new mouse control is poor

PC version does not have latest redering engine

Poor Gamepad compatibility

After having this game for a week or so I have given this a pretty good go. The game is good. It could be stellar. PC version should have shipped with new rendering engine that is a HUGE dissapointment for me. fifa 14 should be fifa 14. It should not be a totally different rendering engine on consoles but old stagnant one on PCs. It should be a different game. I felt I was mislead into thinking this game had next gen rendering.

If you own any pc game pad other than logitech you may be in a bumpy road mapping your buttons. It involved looking at mapping files and manually mapping my controller. There should be an intuitive UI to map buttons on a game pad to any button on the game. If you expect this... you will be dissapointed. But after hacking the mapp files I have my no-name controller able to do all the button combinations of a logitech.

hack inclueded:

Registry hack to label the name of the controler.

hack the mapping file to edit mappings of said name of controller

reverse engineering codes to say which game function maps to physical button numbers.

Let me get straight to the point, Fifa 14 is by far the worst FIFA game I've played in the last 5 years! Unfortunately EA sports has not made any improvements to the game, but they have also ruined it by trying to make it more realistic(!). I'm not complaining because I can't win ,I just won my season one championship last week so I know how to play. The point is that FIFA 14 is not fun anymore...

What EA has failed to understand is that video games are meant to be fun. when you attempt to make a game realistic (in your own thoughts), you should consider the fact that it must not spoil the fun. As you can read in other reviews there are many many many issues that happen way too often in a game which makes you want to break your game. Just to mention a few:

super sluggish game-play and increased momentum of players

Easy cross and header goals that happen way too much in every game (Trust me, I also score most of my goals this way)

Dribbling with the best players in the world is almost impossible because of super late reactions and movements

Lofted through balls (which was so bad in the beginning that EA released a patch to fix it in the first few weeks)

Unrealistic first touch controls (sometimes players like Messi seem to have no idea how to stop an easy pass)

Ridiculously foolish team-mates (some things are totally out of your control...)

Forwards are in offside position 90% of the time (and don't seem to care at all!)

_ Throw-ins are just a joke!Players spend most of the time running after the ball themselves as if there's no one out there

Overall, after a game (specially at higher levels) you don't feel like you won the game because you're good. Instead you feel like you only won because you were lucky. That's what kills the fun in a sports game.

After all, it's EA and they sure know how to be the winner of "Worst Company of the Year" for 2 years in a row. If you haven't purchased the game yet, don't buy it. It's just a waste of time and money...

Best Deals for FIFA 14

Game does not function Properly. Crashes after every match to desktop making it impossible to play multiple matches in a row. Really annoying as well as frustrating! Would not recommend it with the current software problem. No help from ea sports, as their solutions/ FAQ do not apply borderline the issue. No help from amazon either!!

Honest reviews on FIFA 14

Usually FIFA is just a roster update and a few tweaks but they did enough in this game that it feels different and new.

The layout is great, the defense is better, the ball physics are spot on. No more crazy animations.

I play the PC version.... I just got rid of console and I'm glad i did because the graphics on PC are vastly superior.
