FIFA 14

Sturridge?

Possibly, Id love it to be! But I can just picture Baines on the cover for some reason :\
But now thinking about it! Liverpool just did get that EA sponsorship thing! Hmmmm...

So he's definitely gone now, Im really wondering who it could be, love how all the billboards/stands in the stores etc have Bale... you think they would have waited till after Transfer Deadline day..

EDIT: Turns out they are sticking with Bale, which is disappointing, I like it to be a Premier League player on the case, guess they'll have to get some photoshopping done

Maybe they'll just stick Bale in a Wales shirt?

Just read they are photoshopping the Real kit onto him edited above post

I think the multiplayer online needs to be improved. When it's a 2v2 match lobby, other people join the match and keep F***ing about so you can't start a 2v2 match then the timer eventually runs out, F***ing frustrating.

Career mode freezes a hell of a lot as well. The general menus need to be faster, it's such a slow game generally. I think the gameplay is fine though, just a couple of adjustments needed in some offside/refereeing decisions.

I reckon offside should be slightly less perfect, so that sometimes bad calls are made.

Reckon we should be much better in it, Coutinho and Sturridge should go up to 83/84, Sakho will be 82 and Sterling will improve to 74ish, Ibe will be usable

Demo is available via Origin, XBL and PSN today.

Anyone given it a go yet? Thoughts?

Had a few games on the PC yesterday, but again, like most years, you cant get anything out of 2 min halves on the demo, waiting for a half length mod so I can play some longer games... although one thing I noticed was its a lot harder to simply just run past a player, and defenders really get close to you now, I was struggling on difficulty settings lower than I'm used to on 13...

Hopefully they change the goal kick bit where it lands on an opponents head and always plays through their striker on goal.

I've got the demo on PC, looks a fair bit better than 13. Gameplay looks to have slowed down and its looks really hard to pace abuse in this one.

Will make for more tactical gameplay. All in all its a good thing.

What bugs me is that EA is not gonna include some next-gen features that are coming to the PS4 and Xbone version of the game, on the PC.. Not like it cant handle it or anything.

Played the demo and I don't really feel like much has changed, it's still largely the same game as it was 3 years ago, the changes in gameplay are so small and trivial. Of course I'll be forking out the 40 odd quid to buy it though.

I still don't see why people seem to think this is a 9/10-10/10 game, it's far from perfect, just better than PES which has too many problems of its own.

I usually spend most of my time on clubs and ultimate team, playing against the computer is very repetitive.

Can't decide whether I'll bother preordering it on Friday, risking it not arriving. Or whether to just go buy it after work. Decisions.

Just picked up my copy.  Now I wait for this work day to end.

Is it out today?

I thought it was Friday mate.

Think it was out in America today and obviously Friday in the UK & Ireland.

EA are a F***ing joke!

Game is worse than last years with bugs.

1- Cant play FUT because all the players i bought are stuck in the "Transfer targets"
2- Cant play career mode because the menu is so laggy and it keeps freezing.

I don't understand how no other gaming company has thought of making a football game. If they make something with UT and even slightly better than the sh*t EA keeps producing they would take over a $1b+ market share.

Is it just me or do the graphics look terrible? Maybe it's going to take a while to get used to but it looks like I'm playing on a Snes.

Loving the new layout though, real nice on the eye an easy to use.

+ 1 for the new stadiums, I'm playing in career as Boca and La Bombonera is just awesome!

How's the career mode?

Only 5 games in playing as a pro, not done manager mode yet mate.

So far so good.
