The Cure For Your World Cup Fever: FIFA 14?

10:51 AM - June 26, 2014 by RaychelSnr

You can't buy FIFA 15 yet, so should you buy FIFA 14?

If World Cup fever has you itching to buy a soccer video game, you may be wondering if now is a smart time to pick up FIFA 14, with FIFA 15's release just three months away.

Right now, you can find used copies of FIFA 14 for $30 to $40, depending on your preferred gaming platform.

Even if you plan to buy FIFA 15 when it releases on September 23, you'll still be able to sell your copy of FIFA 14 and get $20 to $30 back, using popular websites like Amazon and eBay.

So does paying $30 to $40 for a game that's soon to be outdated -- or even $10 to $20 for a "three-month rental" -- make sense?

I downloaded FIFA World Cup from PSN store for under $30 (with my PS+ membership).

I really think it depends. My circumstances were also such that I was able to get FIFA for less than the prices here, and although I have no doubt that FIFA 15 will be great, I don't think it will suddenly solve every issue we've ever had with FIFA games. Tackles will no doubt still carry some woes, the career modes will likely see few major changes, and I've got other games I'll want to spend the full price on rather than waiting for them to drop. The FIFA 14 timing for me was perfect.

I think 15 will be a beautiful, next-gen priority game, but FIFA 14 is also beautiful, and I've managed to cure my fever just fine.

I just play the demo over and over lol

FIFA 14 was a great buy for me. The previous edition that I owned was FIFA 12, which didn't feature international play inside of the career. Just having the option to play international games along with club games is worth the money, however I will say that FIFA 12 should have had that option had EA Sports been developing this franchise correctly.

"Like most EA Sports titles, this is a depiction of the sport as it is seen in SportsCenter Top 10 highlights, not on a two-hour Saturday telecast."

Couldn't say it any better.

It worked for me, plus having $20 saved up on PSN helped make the choice

Question: Why can't multiple companies have the club licenses and FIFA license, like how multiple companies here can use MLB and NBA teams? Basically, why don't EA and Konami have the licenses simultaneously or is it just certain licenses EA has exclusivity on?

It's the second one, EA has exclusive license of the EPL and Bundesliga so PES can get the licenses individually of teams from those leagues but I believe EA has exclusive licenses of some of those teams too.

What EA should've done is release the world cup game for the next-gen systems. What good are a PS4 and XB1 if you can't play sports games on them? They're discriminating against those who in good faith purchased these next gen consoles only to get kicked in the teeth by releasing it only for old-gen systems? That's the most disgusting promotional tactic of the year.

You missed a question.

Are you willing to pay at least 30 dollars to be competitive in Ultimate Team.

In 2010 EA made the WC uniforms available for free for FIFA. You didn't even have to buy the WC edition to get the updated kits. That would be nice if they did it now also but...

# 12 NexusVI Roy @ 06/28/14 12:01 PM

Currently, 20$ tops for this game, imo.

# 13 NeptunePirate @ 06/28/14 02:23 PM

I bought my FIFA 14 copy brand new for my PS4 at the beginning of the month. I haven't regretted it at all. FIFA 15 isn't too far away, but I needed my soccer fix immediately. I just wish they released an actual World Cup game for the nextgen consoles or at least a tournament mode in the World Cup update they released for them.

Just traded in my watchdog game for Fifa 14 (PS4) and was wondering if they had any World Cup tournament for your created player career?

# 15 actionhank @ 06/28/14 10:29 PM

I got FIFA 14 on PC a while ago when it was on a sale for about 20. Now, i've got it patched up with a roster patch that added all of the WC teams and Groups, and has a nice Brazil WC themed menu to go along with the tournament.
It really makes me wish that more sports games would come out on PC. The modding community does a great job at replacing textures, player models, and other things to keep the game fresh.

The World Cup tournament is in FIFA 14's career mode, but you have to either simulate or play up to June 2014, and then if you're a player, you have to be good enough to be called up to your national team's roster.

I own FIFA every year so Of course I'll say yes. But if someone doesn't really care about football that much and just wants to play as USA or whatever country then just buy the FIFA World Cup game.

# 18 jilly55 @ 06/30/14 08:51 PM

Honestly, the FIFA World Cup demo will probably satisfy the casual fan.
