The world enters a new era of sports videogames with the launch of the Xbox
One and PlayStation®4 this November. FIFA 14 on next-gen consoles feels alive
with players who think with human-like reactions and anticipation and move with
the agility of world class athletes. Innovative features such as Elite
Technique, Pro Instincts, and Precision Movement, deliver the most authentic
football experience possible. Fans will also experience the electricity of a
living stadium as the emotions of new 3D crowds rise and fall around the stories
on the pitch.
Elite Technique
Thanks to the power of the new consoles and the EA SPORTS IGNITE engine, FIFA
14 includes more than 1,000 new animations which create hundreds of new skills
and behaviors. New touch passes, slices and lobs have been added, along with
behaviors like off-balance shots, panic turns, missed shot reactions and
more.
For the first time ever in the FIFA series, multiple players can compete for
balls in the air. Not only will there be situations where three or four players
can all vie for ball, but each will also have greater control with a variety of
new headers. Players will be able to adjust the power, angle and direction of
the header as they contest for the ball.
Pro Instincts
Players make decisions four times faster than on previous consoles.
Decision-making is now based on multiple frames per second, resulting in players
that are more aware of their surroundings and react accordingly. Depending on
the situation, an attacking player may check his run, back into a defender or
brace for an incoming tackle. During a sprint, a player may feint or leap over a
sliding defender while still maintaining possession of the ball. Defenders will
recognize more opportunities to support and pressure the opposition to help
create balance.
Gameplay will be dynamic and continuous in FIFA 14 on next-gen consoles.
Players will actually interact with sideline characters throughout the match,
rushing towards ball boys if the clock is winding down late in the match. In the
build-up to corners, players will jockey for position in the box.
Precision Movement
In FIFA 14, gameplay is built around True Player Motion and delivers a whole
new feel in the game. Players will have unique step animations instead of
blended run cycles, which means that every step counts. Foot slides have been
eliminated and players will use true bio-mechanics to shift their weight from
one leg to the other as they run. This dramatically changes the feel, look and
realism within the game as players will be more grounded as they move across the
pitch.
Players will gradually gain or lose speed as they run but will still have a
burst of speed available. Using it incorrectly or relying on it too much may
prove costly. Momentum is preserved while sprinting, so there’s a balance to
ensure each match still feels authentic. And more player personality will be
visible in the way each player moves around the pitch.
Living Worlds
Nothing compares to a stadium full of fans cheering in unison. With FIFA 14,
the crowds come to life with 3D crowd technology that completely changes the
atmosphere of a match and makes every stadium feel alive.
The all-new In-Game Director will make each game of FIFA 14 on next-gen
consoles feel like a match from the real world. Over 120 different broadcast
cameras are positioned around the pitch, each following different players to
build storylines and provide stunning new replay angles. You’ll even be able to
trigger a replay of a previous important moment during any stoppage of play.
FIFA 14 on the new consoles features a new default camera that is angled
lower and closer to the pitch to bring new 3D crowds life. The crowd is now a
part of the action. Fans will react to the action on the pitch, ebbing and
flowing with the action and emotion of each match. Larger stadiums in FIFA 14
will also feature stadium exteriors and broadcast-inspired stadium fly-overs to
add more depth to the match-day experience.
The EA SPORTS IGNITE engine allows for greater graphical fidelity. New cloth
technology ensures player kits look and react to movement just as they do in the
real world. Particles of grass and dirt, and even splashes of water will be
visible during matches. All of the enhanced detail helps each match tell a
compelling story, on and off the pitch.
