FIFA 14 (computer game)

Customer Review

I had hopes for the game. I was hoping to get a good game of football, especially as the last offshoot of the series were not really good to bad.

But the game is an absolute disaster. Bugs that players balls senseless verstolpern, balls simply by leave, etc. The manager mode, because otherwise I almost only played, was so boring and confusing that I stopped him after the hour again and he never appealed to me. Is the worst thing that you simply spammed constantly by his scouts, that would be bearable, but the management of their mails designed totally confusing and cluttered.
The menus are a joke, they were in recent years, although not as mine, but quickly and clearly, they are now horrible. Constantly changing the locations of the various modes and I have every time looking for what I want.

Now the 2nd worst "blunder" of EA: That the Ignite Engine only the Next Gen consoles is available. The excuse of Ea that most FIFA Players do not have adequate computer is ridiculous. 1. Is there a case against real graphics settings, as we know them from actually all games except Fifa and Pes? 2. Look you here once the system requirements for Fifa 14, which would even meet my old office PC, I bought about 8 years ago. This is no joke!
Operating System: Windows XP / Windows Vista / Windows 7
Processor: Dual-core processor (Core 2 Duo or better) Intel Core2Duo 2.4GHz
Memory: 2 GB RAM
Graphics card: DirectX 9.0c compatible 3D accelerated graphics card with 256MB of VRAM or equivalent (Shader Model 3.0 support or higher required), eg ATI RADEON HD 2900 or NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
These are not the minimum requirements, these are the recommended requirements. It is obvious that only Ea wants to force the PC gamers into buying the new next-gen consoles. Probably there are agreements with Microsoft and Sony, otherwise I can not explain something, because many have therefore waived the purchase of Fifa 14, I would have to do better also.

But the worst thing about Fifa 14 is clearly the controversial but this year just to clear momentum. As I read a very good explanation for this "phenomenon" on the Internet, I put this simply topsy here:

"Love Fifa Community,

I'd like to dedicate the theme momentum. I know there are already many issues involved, and I think I've read them all. Unfortunately, I still see many users believe that it is not so and with standard slogans like "go to practice" what a counter-argument does not really make these users down.

To understand Momentum I need you for a few things in advance to tell in terms of brand "EA".
EA is a brand that stands for quality but not for money. It is less about the normal staff as Program the or designer but to the philosophy of EA. It is not their motto "We bring the best football game on the market" but rather "How do we best keep our customers in our product and make lots of money". The Fifa brand is probably speak with the best horse in the stable of EA, over 7 million copies sold for themselves and in the scene of his peers.
But why is that? This is due to a fact that football is a game that appeals to a wide layer, it is the most popular sport in the world and whether old or young, it does everyone. Secondly, Fifa has almost a monopoly which would be banned in some countries in other areas by the many licenses. Few casual or very young players sat so with the matter apart that they themselves would install or create patches. Yes Fifa is comfortable and provides straightforward for every home to fast football fun. The EA has actually about the sales figures to hold first served if. But would like to earn more money than the company you have to always think of new ways have to win new players and keep old ones. EA has perfected with Momentum and other things such as FUT.

Why is there Momentum then the next question ?! Many are talking about "Yes because I have to lose sometimes" or "Because even worse times players should have a chance."
I can tell you it is because in order to keep you in line. It's actually quite simple, as people react to always lose, they will eventually stop playing because they believe the per se and may lose her to improve. How to play in many other Esport some just do not have as much talent as others. From EA perspective that would be in the long term a lost customer because the argument football and my favorite team is not enough to keep the player at the product. Let's look now once in the other direction as there are players who really are very good but what do these players so they win every game every day and every victory is simple and runs from the same where is the challenge. These customers will be in the long run less or not at all play since missing the challenge layer. However, the latter customer layer is generally less affected because many are addicted only after good statistics.
As you can see there are two reasons why you can lose a customer and that means you lose money.
Each of you should be the times please introduce the idea is one that only money and nothing else. What would you do with these two groups of customers often buy the game and play !? Reconsiders the good conditions, FIFA offers. As in real life, there is the luck factor, the user can temporarily only one player all taxes and the most important factor in football, the goalkeeper is not a choice. Can I think everyone can see the optimal conditions to the game are easy but efficient to manipulate so that looks as if it but it actually runs quite differently. That's the main reason why there is momentum.

Good but how it looks now this momentum, how can I recognize it. Those who have a little idea about the football and also regularly plays Fifa and also knows what he expresses the will quickly recognize. Ea is to show as well as in other games not known programming technical feats. This helps you to identify but if not what to set up things to go. I have long wondered how to explain it quite simple but it is not so simple. Let's say you're playing a game both defenses are good and you had to really think of what you can so that you go into management. Stop! Think about times now why is your defense as well. Why is that ?! Notice her new controls a player currently in the defense, why are all the other players that are controlled only by the CPU so good in the rooms. Imagine this question Seriously you will notice you have no control over. The game continues and it is very well-balanced to a certain point. You notice it has changed what your fellow players are not as good at one time in the room as before. What reasons can have ?! Your controls so only one player and your tactics did you not changed further you are only in the 30 min talk exhausted your players can not be. Why is your LV now no longer there where he is otherwise special runs at the center and makes the wings free ?! Your just controls itself the RV, you can do anything in the situation and have no influence on what this player does or why he now offers his opponent this premises.
Inevitably, you will by this CPU error or a gate to get your opponent gets by chance. As you can see from this example, there is the situation you can not influence and that is so desired by EA. I do not want to go beyond the scope because it determines there is 100 more examples to explain Momentum whether concerns on the offensive or defensive, or what your or the opponent's goalkeeper here.
All factors where you have no control over. Although an example I would like to mention because it is also very clear how momentum works.
You know it, you lose the ball in the opponent's half, ok but you have to put your defensive and and both LV and RV have the Tactical anweißen to keep the 4-chain, so far so good. But then the following happens, all opposing players say so 5 people running forward, beautiful in the interfaces your defense at the same time what are you doing? Why can not your opponent 5 players forward Send running at full pace ?! At this moment, you and your opponents have taken no control over it easily and it has nothing to do with can happen. Because one could indeed raise the question why this is not always in this situation, easily here these situations can not itself determine they happen. As I said, there is still so much examples Check it out yourself and questioned some situations based on my examples and you will find yourself quickly own examples.
I want at this point but one more time to all users undergo when you play the Manual there are my less or no momentum. That is just plain wrong! I'm unfortunately but as I mentioned in my examples, it often has nothing to do with passing or shooting but such moves your whole team in terms of speed and in the rooms next factor as always is then also the goalkeeper. Even if you manually play you have to said Kreterin no influence.
I admit it milderst it in the areas Adjust from but momentum is not only that but much more.
Who would like to know more I can tell you as I have said more but that is here already long enough.
The momentum occurs actually only in season and FUT mode so extreme on. Should you yourselves seek an opponent in the lobby or Arena then you will less or not at all have to contend with the momentum.
Especially in the arena, it would be really scams and there should even be careful EA. Even offline, it happens but there are playing it for me not as a role since it is not in the competition is special only the CPU.

Now there's the question why comes from official sources as little whether magazines or EA itself.
It's just basically carried the momentum the game manipulated and therefore does not reflect the skill and performance of you and your opponent again. Some would call it as fraud. Something you can not confirm because as I said it is all about money and it would not be conducive to confirm this, many users would no longer play because they would feel in good German *.
But why is nothing ?! in the journals Simply Ea has often exclusive agreements with these newspapers which mutually advantages but mainly money again. Aside from reporting what Momentum As you will already see the Fifa scored in all journals high ratings despite the whole game making mistakes just so overflowing. Look at other times to test where games like many bugs have a 90 rating are who do not get well.
I can only advise you not listen to the Magazine looks in forums or on Amazon by. See your are Fifa is not as good as how they want you to believe that all. Especially with Amazon it hails negative criticism from users. Take the time and read you there a couple of times through contributions. There is nothing better than actually own opinions and on average it sees as not good for FIFA 13 from.

Some will of course again say "yes na and there is no momentum and nervous around here is not if you do not like the game or not can then sell it." I want to tell you to please keep your eyes on one and on the other hand, I love football as well as all of us here and no matter what opinions we share everyone shares. I struggle with it against all commerce in Fifa and hope that it again a game where everything is going to be above board and although it here are some I would deny that only reach that many users are informed and in the long run what EA has to change , I think we go so slowly in the right direction because more and more users join us. Because we all want to have a fair and good game for our 60 euros.
And yes I have a girlfriend nen job and otherwise also other things emulate that for some even the start!

Thank you for your attention and do not give up! "

Furthermore, I think even that EA buys most of the major video game magazines, as these are all assigned Topwertungen while the game by the users or for example is made finished here on Amazon and is rated terrible. I will now definitely buy me no more Fifa, I'm just hurt too much, mitanzusehen as one of the Games series, with which I grew up, is exploited by Ea. I can not prevent that support I do not have it however.

Conclusion: This game is an absolute impudence and I recommend it to anyone. Not even my enemies I wish something.
