This game is truly awful. Every year I buy FIFA and every year I think it's great, to begin with. All FIFA games grow tiresome at some point but FIFA 14 wore my patience thin exceptionally quick. The makers of this game clearly have absolutely no concept of what football is.
It constantly gives you stupid stuff to deal with. It is near enough impossible to execute a chip through ball perfectly because FIFA thinks that no professional football would have the ability to put some back spin on their pass, therefore the ball goes over your attacker, then just keeps rolling and rolling until it gets through to the oppositions goalkeeper.
This is just one of many horrendous things about this game, the scripting, which has been an issue for a number of years, is more prevalent in this one than in any of the others. It has literally got to the point where I'm getting annoyed off at myself scoring in the 45th and 90 th minute. The stoppage time lasts forever and it just becomes so damn easy to score at the end of either half.
Here's another frustrating factor, the ratings they give are absolute rubbish. Basically, if the player has a good overall, he will be good, you may as well ignore all of his individual attributes. I had a player on my career mode for Bury who had a sprint speed of 96 and an acceleration of 95. However, because his overall was only 59, FIFA had very cleverly decided that he had to be terrible at EVERYTHING. His acceleration, although rated 95, was abysmal, it took him about 10 seconds to get anywhere near full speed. But a player with a higher overall but lower acceleration, eg. Luis Suarez, Wayne Rooney etc. would not have this issue.
The commentary is the most pathetically written and irritating thing I've ever listened to. Nobody wants to hear the same story every game. Also, you could have advanced to the year 2020 on your manager mode and they will still be talking about David Moyes' recent appointment as Man United manager. Or even worse, you could be Man United manager and they would still be talking about David Moyes as the new manager.
There are just so many things wrong with this game, I've only just began to scratch the surface. I just pray that when FIFA 15 comes out, I won't get sucked in and waste my money on what will, no doubt, be another pile of rubbish.
