No more crazy shots and weird ball trajectories

Now let's take a closer look of what actually makes FIFA 14 that realistic. Attacking play and taking goal shots are probably the most important parts of the game. In the latest, EA Games's flagman, you won’t see any sci-fi unreal strikes and crazy shot trajectories. Thanks to the brand new Pure Shot and Real Ball Physics, FIFA fan can really feel the connection between the perfect shot with an absolutely realistic ball behavior, just like it is in real life.

Move like Messi

Precision Movement is the new feature of FIFA 14, which also makes the big difference between EA's latest masterpiece and other football video games i.e. PES. Thanks to two years of hard work, FIFA's team has developed the step-based locomotion technology, which lets players move around in the most realistic way, we have ever seen. In addition, this new technology is applicable to all 22 players on the pitch. Now you really need to watch out every single step you, because it really matters. The improved players' movements enable them to accelerate/decelerate dynamically. Thus each moment matters and can decide the outcome of the match at the final seconds of the game.

Protect the Ball

Ball possession is what can really win almost any game. You don’t agree? Did you watch the last match of FC Barcelona? Barca often possessed the ball over 60-70% during the game. Accurate passes are very important, but not crucial for achieving such results. Protecting the ball is what really matters here. Thus EA Games has developed Protect the Ball, a new technology that enables players block their opponents from taking the ball away, regardless of their speed. Now you can stand in the right side of the ball, protect it and wait until there is a free man to pass.

AI is my teammate, not my enemy

Everybody knows that AI always plays weirdly. It does things that players would never do in real life. However, this is about to stop. Thanks to FIFA's new Teammate Intelligence , you will enjoy better decision-making by your teammates, no matter if it comes to attacking or defensive play. Thus your team will start playing much smarter than before.

Metro UI design for FIFA main menu

One of the biggest visual changes of FIFA 14 is its main menu. Now it looks more like the Metro UI of Windows 8. However, it is rather confusing than functional. Just like each big change, the new main menu will not be much appreciated in the beginning, but games will get used to it for sure, at least we did in a few days only.
