Fifa 14 Games Review

INTRODUCTION:
 

The second game I will be reviewing is Fifa 2014. Fifa started off in 1993 after ea sports had already released  Sensible SoccerKick Off and Match Day as there were no competitors in the market at this time. Fifa 14 is the latest version of the series and is released and on many different consoles including the next generation ones.

SINGLEPLAYER: [ 6 ]

The Game Sounds are generally only occur when in the match or the music that is playing while browsing the menus. The sounds are the crowding jeering or the commentary that is being produced while you play the game.


Controls the controls are very simple, but can vary depending on which setting you 
choose to play on. There are different control choices for you to choose from: Classic, alternate, two button and manual 

There are no missions in game, but there is 
a career mode as a player and manager 
where you are challenged to become the best in the world. 


The difficulty/ease to pick up the game is really simple, as there are only a couple of button on the controller that need to be used, these vary on which console you are on.

MULTIPLAYER: [ 7 ]

There are various game modes in online. The main one that attracts many people to the game is Ultimate team, but there is also pro clubs and head to head seasons. 

It is extremely easy to get into the various online games as there is a title screen where you select the game you want to play.

Pro clubs - Pro clubs allows you to join or create a club, allowing up to 11v11 game play. You can also create your own personal pro to play within the club you have joined/created or play drop in match where you can increase your pro's attributes as well as unlocking different appearance features and traits. When creating your club you will be able to decide the club and stadium name as well as choosing you club kits and crest. Once its created you will embark on the journey from division 10 to division 1 playing other clubs online and competing for promotions and titles.

Online Seasons - 


Co-op - Fifa 14 features co-op  seasons, which was brand new to Fifa 14. Anyone can play as long as you have a friend online so you can play against two others in the world in a 2v2 ranked online play. You will start from the bottom and will have to make your way to the top of division one, win the title to reach internal greatness.

Ultimate Team - 

Fifa Ultimate Team is an offline and online feature developed by Ea back in Fifa 2010 when you actually had to pay to play it. It is now one of the most influential factors when people purchase the latest Fifa's.

You are able to build your squad with over 11,000 players. Choose your favorites or pick players that fit your style of football. Set your formation, select your kits and begin playing for free. You can acquire new players and items through the Transfer Market or by purchasing Packs.

GRAPHIC QUALITY: [ 7 ] 
 
The graphic quality is very good on certain features in the game. One example on this is the players faces, although not all the faces are realistic the top players such as Messi, Ronaldo and N'Gala have very realistic facial qualities, however the lesser the players in the lower leagues have less realistic qualities, and only have one of the default faces. In game the pitch is quite realistic and even on  next gen the grass comes of the pitch. One downside in the graphic quality is the crowd, as they are all to similar and the only thing they seem to do is jump about and hold up signs.


SOUND QUALITY: [ 6 ]

The sound quality on Fifa is of average quality. One good feature is that crowd do actually sing real football chants in some specific stadiums, although mainly there is a just a general buzz noise in the crowd. The commentry is clear and realistic, but is very repetitive.


OVERALL IMPRESSION: [ 26 ] 


My overall on Fifa 14 is a great game, although there are some faults with the servers and many online glitches especially on Ultimate Team. Although is has faults and online glitches is still the best sports game on the market.
