FIFA 2014 World Cup Game Thread

[Snorky's Shame]

Release date April 15

Unless your team is Bhutan, Brunei, Gibraltar, Guam, Mauritania or South Sudan, your team is in the game.

Wish they'd have classic teams or create-a-team.

 

[Orangebird]

I hope all the teams are fully licensed. I remember for the EURO 2012 DLC Wales roster boasted Gareth Bleth and Aaron Rumsey.

 

[GatorTD]

I vote Snorky for worst signature on Utopia.

Ah, recognition at last!

I believe it is a separate set of licenses involved here. Wales usually has the correct names but not licensed kits in the World Cup games.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Demo is out. Not too much new information has come out two weeks before release.

Wouldn't mind if it's just an updated version of the last World Cup game.

 

[Yankee151]

I wish it was coming out on PS4 because PS4 FIFA is so much better. But I'll still get a bunch of time out of it.

 

[kella]

Wait this stupid cash grab isn't on ps4? I wanted next Gen dong trolling

 

[Snorky's Shame]

I hope this isn't close to the final game. Very arcade-like. No fouls, players flying around, dribbling more effective than passing, etc...

I'll still get it because I like the World Cup game but I've lowered my expectations a bit.

 

[Yankee151]

I'm sure it'll be a step down from next gen, which is undescribable in it's mastery, but yeah, I love international football so it's worth it for me regardless.

 

[Orangebird]

The presentation is really well done. Although I don't think there will be a huge watch party for the USA matches where you can clearly see the Capitol in the background. Could be wrong though.

 

[kella]

They might legitimately put a big screen up on the mall, not that far east tho

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if they put something on the mall somewhere but I felt like putting the Capitol that clearly in the background was reaching.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

They should just show one guy going crazy in a cubicle in an otherwise quiet office for the US.

That's how I spent the last two World Cups.

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Not sure if I'm gonna get this. Thinking about it, but my backlog is loaded.

 

[Yankee151]

Picked it up today. So far it's about what I expected. Coming from PS4 it's a downgrade, but still a fun game. Rosters seem a bit messed up, can't pick Yedlin, Green, or Gil for the US for example

 

[Snorky's Shame]

You can pick Sean Johnson though...

USA 1950 kit available in the store. Spent 25,000 to unlock everything except the online stuff.

 

[Yankee151]

First run through, 1-0 Ghana, 1-1 Portugal, 0-1 Germany. Advanced on GD. Got beaten in extra time by Belgium, had the lead in the 86th and they scored in the 90th.

The training stuff is pretty neat. Trying a qualification run as Turkey now.

 

[Yankee151]

Yeah, really liking the training. Trying to turn Sahin into a more Box to Box guy. When I do the USA I'm going to only train Zusi in speed in Travis' honor

 

[Travis7401]

Bought on whim excited to troll once every four year FIFA players

 

[Travis7401]

Korea is the only team for me.

 

[DeadMan]

Can't get enough Dong, huh?

 

[Rob's FSU]

He likes those short, speedy twinks.

 

[pavel]

is DONG present?

 

[Larry Fitzgerald]

So if you own the vanilla FIFA, what's the point of this game other than the licensed World Cup mode?

 

[Yankee151]

More teams, it's a slight improvement on the last gen versions of Fifa 14.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

This is a good game.

But if you have FIFA 14 or the 2010 World Cup game, it's not worth getting.

 

[Rutgers Mike]

I like it. I suck at football but I like it.

 

[chibob]

I wont be buying the World Cup game, just stick it out with FIFA vanilla until the new release.

 

[Travis7401]

Honestly I don't think it is worth buying for most people. The gameplay isn't really better/worse than normal FIFA and the few added teams and updated rosters aren't all that important. The only reason I really like it is for playing people online. The matchmaking system must be tighter because I never end up playing the 5 star teams when I'm Korea.

I will say my favorite part is they put a ton of time into recording commentary for the campaign stuff. I've been playing my way through a whole qualifying campaign with Colombia and there must be a bunch of hours of the men in blazers (or whoever you pick) carrying on about random shit. I often find myself not starting a game up so I can wait to hear what they are saying, which is kind of a first in an EA game.

That being said, the audio isn't always right. I was playing a Spain vs Germany game and the audio guys were carrying on about what a rivarly it is between Scottland and England.

 

[chibob]

I just cant justify spending £50 on a game which will be relevant for arguably the next 3-4 months.

Also iv committed a lot of time and effort into FUT so I cant be bothered putting time into just a World Cup game.

 

[Travis7401]

I might have to jump back on FUT, lol. I sold off my million but I still have a club full of all the non-rare players I collected, lol.

 

[chibob]

Its a bit silly now, tonnes of rare players in every team but I guess it just makes it more challenging.

 

[Orangebird]

Yeah I'm not gonna get this game until I can win division 1 on both Ultimate Team and vanilla seasons. I'm in Division 2 for both right now.

 

[GatorTD]

DONT MESSAGE ME WHILE IM PLAYING FUT!!!

 

[Orangebird]

DONT MESSAGE ME WHILE IM PLAYING FUT!!!

For pro clubs? I was doing a career mode with Valencia when that happened.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Got to the World Cup with Tahiti.

Having a hard time selecting my 23 because it won't let me make simple changes such as replacing a LB for a CM. Or a ST for a CB on my subs bench. So I'm stuck with 11 defenders and 3 forwards.

This game is such a waste.

 

[ZeekLTK]

A poorly coded EA game? Am shocked.

 

[Larry Fitzgerald]

What system?
