All in all a great update to its predecessor

So first time is to say that I, from September 13 - have played January 14 still Fifa 14 on the 360, Fifa general since mid-January 02. Then the Xbox One Fifa came bundled into the house, saying the game was a download code here (What was pure hell for me, with DSL Lite 384KB / s and a crash at 88% ...) and I was about a week waiting to finally get started. Can the game but not help it, it should be mentioned on the edge for the people but who are experiencing a similar terrible existence with regard to the Internet connection ...

Now even the attempt by a detailed comparison of the two parts and a final evaluation.

At the beginning let me say that I (mainly career mode) have denied due to my aforementioned Internet line only offline games.

Stadiums / Viewers:
The first thing that strikes you are the revisions of the audience and the stage. So there are now many stages of Exterior (Wembley, Allianz Arena, San Siro ...) and many choreographies before matches (Which however repeat and not alternate, but over here I see time away). Jump During the game the respective fans on doors of their club on, whistling opposing teams during prolonged possession of and will ever see at first glance much more alive than in the predecessor, but there is on closer inspection still room for improvement, as compared to 360 Version similar to the but a quantum leap.

Gameplay:
That's what I initially had the greatest expectations, since with EA Ignite massive advertising was made and there was about a lot of positive. Furthermore, the gameplay even more like a throwback 13 (Each head ball in the goal, defenders do not react at edges, etc.) I was like on the 360 ​​compared to Fifa. Here my expectations were fully met. The player movements are more lively, the movements of the players shot at flanks and wings Jump act almost like their real life counterparts. The same applies to the shots in other respects. If you shoot with C.Ronaldo BSP. from 22m on goal, he has also assumed the kicking technique of his real image, what has most impressed me. Maybe also interesting for many: The in the older generation hated by many headers are indeed to be strong, but it is now finally possible to defend this, as players behave much more intelligent in corners and the defender among themselves try in the to support his head duels. Although happen every now and then also stupid and actually unrealistic goals, but at least it is also a game so you have more room for improvement. Has also been greatly improved, the goalkeeper. It drives an already mad when you see what a balls Buffon BSP. holds. However, the parades also see more comprehensible and more realistic as opposed to the old part.
In terms of gameplay, I was not disappointed in my expectations and there can attest EA good job. That one notices directly as such a glaring contrast to the old generation, I would not have thought of before.

Graphics:
Here are the details that stand out. Admittedly, Ronaldo and co. see at first glance, almost the same as in the older generation, we see but a closer look is amazing how detailed the faces are decorated and skin color. The lawn has also greatly improved: So you can see in the slow motion BSP. flying around in tackles as the blades of grass. The jerseys look now really alive from: Each jersey has according to the players slight wrinkles in the fabric. This looks great and just make these details for me Next-Gen from. Again, I was not disappointed so far. One complaint I have yet: Some stadiums have blonde players like BVB example. Marco Reus in the tele-transmission from a distance first all black hair. Only in repetitions or the short cutscenes the player has his normal hair color back. This bug already existed in various parts of Fifa and apparently you have it saved there to put.

Menu / game modes / reps:
Here, a few things have changed compared to the previous generation. The tiles although there also, but the color is a kind of noble dark blue / gray-blue, but the menu items are largely the same. A major annoyance for many players is the abolition of Turniermodi, these are completely eliminated. For me personally, this is less of an issue because, although I have used it now and then, but he for me is not an absolute purchasing criterion was (as bsp. The career mode), but she will not reveal to me the sense so completely and it confirmed me in my believes that EA on the years considered the focus has increasingly placed on the FUT mode, which I personally find a bit unfortunate, because as other points remain again unnoticed or omitted, and some off-line players out in the cold ... A for me personally fatter bonus point, however, is the revision of repetitions during the games. As I have already indicated my Fable for details, I was very pleased, too. The reps look very realistic and the camera views are strongly based on real TV screen. So you can see the chance course again exactly or his goal simply again from different perspectives enjoy (Which I think is cheap but heavily worked at the old Fifa) and look at a different rate. I find very successful.

Integration of Kinect:
Kinect is a pretty nice-to-have for offline games. So you can bsp. during the game simply make a substitution without pressing pause simply by "substituted" says it appears a brief overview of the players at the bottom of the screen and then saying the corresponding name. It is also possible to change the camera during the game by announcements, statements, mentality etc. I find quite successful.

Conclusion:
All in all, in the new generation quite managed the transition from the old EAs. While it does not receive a completely revamped game, but some fundamental changes that justify the re-purchase in my opinion. The gameplay and the feeling is a completely different and far above all modern. The fact that the tournament is lacking I find even a pity, but you will probably have to get used to the idea that Fifa increasingly "Only Online" developed in the direction, therefore takes this point no place in my review here. I forgive no 5 star, because in career mode still the same bugs in the menus or BSP. are present in the scheduling, this is a decisive point for me, where you should start and the only point which I was a bit disappointed / bin. I hope I could hereby give indecisive prospects and potential buyers a little help, because with "Ey fully stupid, no tournament mode, EA shit!" probably helped the fewest ;-)
