FIFA 14

By EA Sports so of course the graphics is very good but I find the gameplay unsatisfactory.

The graphics is definitely very good. The smoothness, the player’s movements and the Physics are all nicely done. However, as soon as we get a closer view, we are definitely in “uncanny valley” territory.

The stadium sound to is excellent. And I have no complaints about the commentary. You have to download the commentary pack separately. Despite the 476MB, it is worth it.

The problem I have with the game is the gameplay. You get the sideline camera view and the zoom level means that everything is very tiny. Often, I just can’t find the ball, it’s just a couple of pixels in size. There is the option to change the zoom level in the setting but it doesn’t seem to work for me.

Developers must find a better way of presenting games like this. A first-person view maybe?

There is also an inconsistency on the controls. Sometimes you tap, sometimes you swipe to play the ball, and touch and drag to move players. It might be better if it sticks to swiping for passing and shooting, and tapping for movement or something like that.

It costs $6.25 to “unlock all” which is rather expensive. Together with the large download and 1.75GB of storage used, you need to think twice before installing this app.
