Having Fun With FIFA 14 World Cup

My favorite mode in the FIFA 14 World Cup Brazil is Story of Qualifying. When I first play the game, it was a beginner mode while it is not now. If you have played FIFA before, this mode is perfect as a practice mode.

Story of Qualifying is a scenario mode with qualification match with over sixty scenarios that can be unlocked in the store. Once the tournament starts, there will be an online story of finals mode being updated everyday.

I like the recreational side of these games with which i can see what qualifying was like for countries around the world, what stories came out of it without doing a full tournament with every team. But that’s not the main attraction of a game like this.

It is the most immersive qualifying tournament FIFA has put into a World Cup game. There are 203 national teams and qualifying that starts with the friendlies after 2010 World Cup. Rosters are deep enough to do a full B-Team friendly as uniform are deep too. The new world cup kits and historical kits can be unlocked.

Since I have spent a little time with FIFA 14, I can hardly say how many animations are completely mew to 2014 FIFA World Cup . It took me a few days to get passing accuracy, shot direction, crossing and thins of that nature down. In these days, I feel the animation is smooth enough that it is a step up from 2002 FIFA World Cup.

Offside rule is a obvious bug that needs to be fixed. Fortunately, there is a patch coming. If you attempt a pass to an offside player, the ref will call offside no matter what actually happens. Defender stops the ball? Offside. Defender intercepts and then that offside player tracks back to make a recovery? Offside. Ball sails over an offside player’s head to an onside player? You get the idea.

Still, there is so much deserve your like. The menus for Road the World Cup have a choice od talk radio for either Ian Darke and Andy Goldstein or Men in Blazers. They recorded 50 hours of audio that’s like a fun podcast in the background as you navigate the menus.
