FIFA - World Cup 2014 - [PlayStation 3] (Video Game)

Customer Review

Overall, 2014 FIFA World Cup is quite successful, a collection of (small) errors clouds the fun but so much so that I can give currently only three stars. I hope that EA, most of the criticisms per patch corrects.

Undoubtedly the best thing about the game, the official license to FIFA. EA has it this time also knew how to use the complete license. I have a few teams sorely missed in the previous tournament offshoots, so this time are represented all the nations. The squads of teams are very large and leave enough latitude in nominating the player. Unfortunately, I come there directly for the first of my criticisms:

- There are massive error in storing changes in the squad. Mostly it is not possible to change players, sometimes you can indeed change everything but these changes are discarded when you leave the menu item, and even if everything looks as if it would be stored correctly, sit in the game then still other players on the bench.

- The menu is indeed clearer and runs smoother than some of its predecessors, but always come back dubious popups with partially eh only one possible answer. One example I would like to mention here: You start the game again and wants to invite a qualification memory status. It appears the message that all unsaved progress will be lost. Here it was only in the menu, and can always press "Next" only.

- Disturbing factor is that I've noticed in the qualifying table "in addition" in addition to earnings from home and away. This is shoddy translation!

So much for the ugliness things the menu. Now to what is happening on the pitch:

Start doing the game as usual with an animated flight over the stadium, including invasion of the players and the national anthems. This is nicely done, but unfortunately the World Cup stadiums from outside are totally ugly and the entire video jerky unreasonable. Since the hardware of the PS3 will bear not much was there but get over looked. Nevertheless, one might have a little less confetti, it may take a few more frames. What, however, is not at all the colored overlays between the scenes, these are just Pixelbrei.

The game itself I really like. FIFA has evolved steadily over the past 20 years and is on a high level. For beginners, the game is easily accessible and experienced gamblers, there are plenty of special keys to perfect the game and an online mode to compete with other strong opponents.

Only the objections annoy me. A few years ago the feature was introduced that objections can be executed quickly. That makes only sense if EA ball boys would introduce. So we experienced that the bounder partly 20 meters or more runs after the ball and then run back to the place of the throw. Quick throw-ins are not!

The amount of game modes is very good, but also to be expected for a full price game so. You can do with every nation the full qualification, including friendly matches and training sessions. If that is too stupid, can these gimmicks just skip.
The World Cup itself can complete in original line-up, or with other teams / groups. Several people can go to a console with the same or different teams in the tournament.
In addition, there are regional challenges, the captain mode and in time for the World Cup then daily tasks. Boring it should not be in the next three months ...

Game Sound, Soundtrack, and even the audience liked me well. The language of the commentators can be adjusted. I myself have set English, I like these for years very well.
Nice is the little animations between where fans or even the original coach shown. Jerseys there are in addition to the World Cup-shirts, the old equipment from the qualification, besides you can earn points jersey me Classic buy in the store. Mini Games bridge the charging time and motivate especially because you can compare with his friends.

All in all, the game gives me a lot of fun. By the time the World Cup starts I'll be happy to re-enact every game itself. Should EA have until then removes the unnecessary mistakes, I'll increase the rating in any case!
