It may sound like a cliché but FIFA 14 is definitely the best footballing video game yet. Year after year, the digital footballing experience gets better and better. EA Sports has successfully exploited the billions of football fans with the footballing video game franchise.
However, behind the curtains, FIFA 14 can be a pain as well. Some parts of the game simply don’t make any sense. We have identified them all and compile for you the 5 biggest blunders of FIFA 14.
1. Ball control
In FIFA 14, holding on to a ball with an individual player is so difficult. Past FIFA titles have the ball stuck on the foot like glue. It seems that the physical mechanism of the game has gone overboard and defenders are getting tackles in so much easier.
2. Poor AI attitude
When things heat up in a match, the pace of the game should be fired up. However, it hurts to see your teammates not working hard to regain possession of the ball. To make matters worse, the AI opponent is able to do so.
3. Biased weather
Players want to keep things real in FIFA 14. As such, most of them put the weather at random. However, there is some sort of biasness for the thunderstorm. One or two games is fine but five games in-a-row?
4. The Scout
Transfers are an important element in a FIFA game. FIFA 14 failed entirely on this aspect. The idea to have scouts being an obligatory is great but the findings are poorly listed and there is no chance of finding the next Pele.
5. Tournament Mode
EA is guilty of playing add and subtract with the fans. It is a corporate rip-off to remove a traditional game mode without any good excuse. The tournament mode is a victim of that as it is absent in FIFA 14. This is totally insensitive towards players who just want to have a good clean fun with their buddies.
