Had the chance again to play the game all day yesterday at the community day for editors for the FIFA database.
Must say that I'm really impressed with it and am very excited for it's release. Can't play FIFA 14 anymore now.
The ball is much more looser, lots of bad controls (even from the better players), midfield battles, more lenient refereeing which results in more aggresive play from both the AI and human.
The goalkeeper is much more human with fantastic saves and fumbles making that every shot has an unpredictable ending. Goalmouth scrambles galore. Exciting stuff.
The graphics have had a good tuneup with better lighting, the pitch wearing out, rain starting to drop all of a sudden (commentators picking in on it) cooler celebrations with every player involved.
And lots of nice little touches. The camera bobbling when the home team scores because of the crowd jumping. The corner flag moving when a player or ball hits it. The replays have been totally redone and are absolutely brilliant. Close-ups and terrific camera angles from every important thing that happened in the game.
It's really good.
