2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Available Now, Post Your Impressions

[TMuss]

The previous roster update had some of the players in their new boots (the Adidas battle pack as well as the new blue and pink Pumas). The newest roster? Nope....everyone is back to their older boots, including Messi. Ugh.

Apologies if I missed this posted somewhere in this thread but with the rosters, do you have a whole database of players to choose from when making selections for the national teams? For example in past versions, I remember being able to select American players that have never had a cap with the MNT but were available because they were in the FIFA database.

It is not near as extensive as FIFA 14's international roster selection since it's pulling from every player in the game that is classified under that country. You're basically limited to players that have been called up to the senior squad at some point over the last few years (US and Mexico each has 45 players to choose from, Spain 37, Brazil 43).

And all is right in the world. Today's update has the right boots. Yay.

Thanks. That's what I was wondering. IIRC some of the older versions of the WC game had that extensive database of players to choose from like in FIFA 14 based on their country classification. Had hoped that was still the case. Not a big deal. Just a person who likes lots of options.

I'm fine with the selection. It's basically any player who played in the qualifiers

Why is it that they won't let you change weather in this game? I see the option but can only have clear weather. I know snow is not needed but rain should be.

This game is on sale for $40 at Best Buy and Amazon.

I have a few questions.
--Can you do CPU vs CPU at all? If so what modes?
--Are the kits updated? I thought I read somewhere that some of them werent.
--How is the qualification mode? I didn't play 2010 but played the crap out of it in 2006 on Xbox.

If I'm remembering correctly they have all of the 2014 World Cup kits for the teams that are in it. Then they also have the uniforms that they played in throughout qualifications. I haven't gone too far into the qualification mode (Just got the game this weekend) but it seems really interesting this year. They have the option to start at the very beginning of qualification (if you choose a team that starts there. i.e. US Virgin Islands). You can also listen between 2 different radio stations that will give updates as the qualification goes on and you near the World Cup. It's very neat and I can't wait to start a Road to the World Cup. Can't decide on what team though. I want to have the full experience, like a team from Europe or Africa but also want to play as the US . I'm having issues deciding.
