Many gamers look forward to the annual addition to the FIFA series, and EA has not disappointed, recently having rolled out FIFA 14. For the last few years, the franchise has been on top of the chart due to realism, detail and gameplay. While the closest competitor, the Pro Evolution Soccer franchise, comes close due to the detail it gives to every aspect of the game, overall, FIFA has reigned supreme. With FIFA 14, a whole new chapter has come up, and this time around, it seems like the game developers have worked quite hard at tweaking the game to focus more on realism. The new installation, however, doesn't bring much in the way of new features. So what has changed? What can you expect? How is the gameplay? We decided to take a look. The first thing you notice is the revamped menu system inside the game, now featuring groups of mixed panels that you can switch between. While this may seem a bit difficult to handle in the beginning, the result actually makes it easier for users to navigate between menus. There hasn’t been a major revamp of the game modes, meaning that all the usual suspects are back in this installment, including Ultimate Team, Career mode, multiplayer and the standard quick play. The game modes are the same as before, but are still just as much fun to play Ultimate Team mode is more or less the same. The aim of the mode is to pick your team based on chemistry, essentially making a playing unit that is not just centered on ability and player stats. It is hard to establish a connection with a randomly assembled team, though. Career mode, in our books, gets more points, and the new installment comes with quite a few tweaks for the same. While scouting for players was earlier a tedious task, the updated interface makes the process a lot easier and allows for more time being spent in gameplay as opposed to menu surfing. You can also play co-op seasons over multiplayer, but the real changes can be seen in the gameplay itself. EA has definitely put a lot of effort in making the gameplay feel more real. This has been a constant part of FIFA’s overall development over the past few years. The major difference that we could pinpoint between this franchise and Konami’s PES series is the delicate balance it maintains to keep each match grounded in realism. PES, on the other hand, has always been bogged down by slightly unrealistic gameplay. The team line-up is as expansive as ever, with even the lowest divisions being clearly detailed. Realism in terms of player details seems to range, though. While some players come with accurate facial builds, others seem to be slightly off the mark. FIFA 14 isn’t earth shatteringly different from the earlier installments. The tweaks in the latest installment, though, come out when you get down to playing a match. Every detail has been worked on from how the player runs, jumps, makes a pass or even the stance that individual players take on the field. A lot of the match is really slow and complicated. This could amount in a certain degree of frustration for users who want intense gameplay throughout the match. They won’t get it here, unfortunately. The detail given to the gameplay is pretty impressive This is more than made up for in the portions of the match where the gameplay does pick up. Expect your game to suddenly kickstart into a higher gear, where players will have to pull off precise attacks or fast paced counters. Matches no longer oscillate around players running from one side of the field to the other. Instead the match works around almost surgical incisions, with the tempo ebbing and flowing like how you would expect a real match to pan out.
