    In another clip from the most recent Press Row Hangout, the details of the free World Cup content coming to FIFA 14 on all platforms is discussed. What it is, whether EA made a good decision by having it as a separate mode, and if it is compelling enough to get us interested in playing. After the disappointment of 2014 FIFA World Cup not releasing for Xbox One and PS4 will this Ultimate Team mode partially fill the void for those who may have bought that game but still own FIFA 14 instead? ...

    When 2014 FIFA World Cup was announced for only the Xbox 360 and PS3, EA Sports also noted that World Cup content would be coming Ultimate Team mode in FIFA 14 on Xbox One, PS4, PS3, 360, and PC. Today the company laid out the plans for the free update to the mode which will be out on May 29. FIFA 14 Ultimate Team: World Cup will be a separate mode within FUT. The content will come from the 32 teams involved in the tournament with all the official licensing that would be expected. The Wor...

    2014 FIFA World Cup is a difficult game to properly assess. It offers up a compelling experience, something the every-four-years edition has become known for, but one that will feel notably old-gen to those who played FIFA 14 on Xbox One or PlayStation 4.  (more…)...

    2014 FIFA World Cup is out today and it would have been a much bigger event had the game released on Xbox One and PS4. Alas EA Sports chose not to do so, which means I'm heading back to the Xbox 360 to evaluate it. Check out a live stream below (which will be archived after to watch) of the game which will include playing a variety of modes. (Update) The stream archives are now embedded below. Will have basic impressions of the game posted later this week! Watch live video from Pastapadr...

    EA Sports has released a new video promoting the release of 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil on Tuesday. A recent one took a look at the modes in the game and now attention turns to the presentation. That includes featuring all the stadiums, some of the actual managers, talk radio commenting on the developments, and the crowd scenes.

  • Your Thoughts on the Demo for 2014 FIFA World Cup

    The demo for 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil released yesterday on the Xbox 360 and PS3 and the response to it seems largely positive. That's great for those who have been anticipating the game but feels especially unfortunate for the others who would have jumped at the opportunity to buy it on the Xbox One or PlayStation 4 if presented the opportunity. The 2010 World Cup game was one of the best sports titles of the entire 360/PS3 generation. 2014 looks to capitalize on that history with cons...
