They have been telling us about "protect the ball" and not sprinting all game for years now. I am normally not fussed with those trailers but that is easily the most underwhelming one I've ever seen.

What I will say is that I dont mind if it's FIFA 13.5 SO LONG AS the next gen version has been given more work and is of better quality, but it took EA a good 3 years to make a decent showing on 360/PS3 so I'm not really confident of that being the case.

08 was the first game in the PS3/360 gen no and was quite sluggish. 09 was a good game in fairness but was pace whored too much. 10 and especially world cup game had the perfect balance before the tactical defending yoke was implemented. Your right though there should be teething problems for the first year or so. Doubt Il be purchasing the new gen console until late 2014 early 2015 anyhow.

No, FIFA 06 RTFWC was a 360 launch title, then came 2006 FIFA World Cup, then FIFA 07, then UEFA Champions League 07/08, then FIFA 08.

Then FIFA 09 which was the first actually good FIFA on next gen. I was playing FIFA semi-professionally back then, competed in FIWC 07 and 08 and World Cyber Games 07 and 08, and until FIFA 08 it was like a job, FIFA for money/to compete, PES for a good footy game. PES became unplayable in 08 and while I was enjoying FIFA then, it wasn't until 2010 World Cup where I had a footy game I actually felt emotion while playing, like I really cared about the result. I'm not sure quite how they captured that but it was excellent.

new Trailer coming tonight

Call Me Jimmy

I don't get those promotonial close-ups. 1. They don't get much better compared to the previous year and 2. When you're playing the game ye barely notice.

Yep. And the fact that the trailer there is from a pre-alpha build of the in game engine, it's going to look bloody gorgeous. Just give me a FIFA where pace isn't everything and good passers can thread the needle, A isn't the "defend button", with those graphics, and you'll have me happy out.

Surely that should be the demand. I can't fathom why people are so hung up on the crowds - you hardly see them and they don't affect the game. In game graphics I get moreso, but the camera is still fairly far away...

Mechanics should be the be all and end all. Noone will see those fancy crowds if the gameplay is muck!

Hopefully this new gen of console will bring in time an end to assisted controls (to an extent) in Fifa. They've made a small push in sorts last couple years but with the scope they have to work with now (ea ignite etc) they can take the football sim to another level with hopefully manual controls at the core.

I'd also like to see the end of user controlled celebrations. Why give online muppets a tool to ruin the online experience even more. There is nothing to gain from having them, only the agony of watching a sweaty pass for a tap in be celebrated by a pacey Brazilian winger running the length of the pitch with his finger on his lips.

The way celebrations are done in the latest PES games is far more enjoyable. Unlike the older PES games when players would run to the corner flag and just... thrust... on their own for a couple of seconds.

The user controlled celebrations are all part of the craic imo but they definitely need to cut the length of time ye get for then. FFS if you play it right you can get about 20 seconds of just running around like a tw@t and thats usually the last thing ya need when you've been scripted out of a match

Mr Blobby

Don't like the sound of that TBH.

All they've done is removed attribute cards and implemented them into your formations.

I can see any Striker with 75pace getting a boost.

Timmyctc

I hope they make the Chemistry actually count for something. Too often you see guys just shoehorning pacey players into a team/formation that they arent familiar with and they play just as well as a team of 100 chemistry players.

deafroadrunner

glad to see more divisions at least in ulimate team. hopefully bigger coin rewards

If theres a speed chemistry boost it will be brutal with the amount of people using it online .

Ive always hated booster cards in UT. If you buy Ibra or Carrol or other big strikers you shouldn't be able to make them faster

Nothing worse than a final match and your opponent has a full team of big strong players and has them all on +10 everything :mad:

How FIFA 14 developers resist the urge to focus on gimmicks

EA Sports' FIFA Soccer franchise is one of a precious few in the sports genre that garners perennial critical acclaim as well as world-beating commercial success. Yet the explanation for that success, according to developer EA Canada, is actually rather mundane.

"I think the main thing that keeps us ahead of the curve is focusing on the right thing. So, staying away from gimmicky features that sound marketable, are costly and at the end of the day, our end fans — it's not what they want," said Santiago Jaramillo, a producer on FIFA 14, in an interview with Polygon last week.

http://www.polygon.com/2013/7/26/4559790/fifa-14-hands-on-ps3-xbox-360-ea-canada-interview

Further down the article he mentions how similar it is to FIFA 13.

I guess it's the FIFA 13.5 for PS3/360 version though so I wouldn't really be bothered about the negative reaction.(if by calling it similar is a negative point)

Wonder when we'll see the Ignite engine coverage?.

Mr Blobby

New Ultimate Team video.

I'm still don't fully understand Chemistry Styles..

If it means player stats only increase when you add a chem style card, then that's brillante.

If not.. It could be a disaster.

Attribute cards are gone (AFAIK). Chemistry styles are a permanent change (boost). About 20 different styles - some position specific (i.e. GK). Some will have a small influence on many attributes, while others (rarer) will have a larger impact on one or two.

Can be used to make up for a weakness or highlight a strength...i.e. Pace!
