FIFA 14 has arrived for next-gen consoles, and the promise of new tech and a fresh start is a welcome sight for many players. We previously reviewed the current-gen versions of the game on this site, but I thought it would be good to give some quick impressions on what I'm thinking about the next-version.

I was fortunate enough to play the game back at E3, and I really liked the promise of what I saw. There was a crispness and fluidity in how the action unfolded that created a bit more pace without actually speeding up the action. I think a lot of this has to do with the improved framerate and animation fidelity, but the improved shot release and altered momentum seems to be a benefit as well.

The lack of Tournaments is a real blow for me. It's the only Game Mode I ever played. EA say that they dropped it as they wanted to prioritize their efforts on the other modes but honestly, how difficult would it have been to port over the Tournament mode from Current Gen.

pretty sure it has to do with the world cup in brazil this sommer, they will release a world cup game for 60$ with basically the same gameplay, but it will be the only way to play the tournament, typical EA

EA are lucky the other sports games (outside of NBA2k of course) are so poor. Their effort shows that they only do just enough to get their regular cash flow, and no more.

I think the upgrade is outstanding, but I also only play CM. The improved AI/CPU intelligence shows up and makes a difference from the current gen version of the game.

I could not get into a pick up game with more than one or two other players yet, but I had a good experience from the little I played offline so far.
