As planned, today's post is Handheld Fun and I will be talking about the iPad version of FIFA 14.
FIFA 14 is free to download on all mobile and tablet platforms and promises a lot. However, as you would imagine, with a free version of such a huge title there must be costs somewhere along the line. These costs come in the form of having to pay for the privilege of playing Kick-Off mode and Career Mode, both costing £2.99/EUR 3.50/$4.79 each.
One good thing is that Ultimate Team is completely free and any activity that you do will sync to your console copy (if you have one).
It's graphics are pretty good considering the hardware lacks compared to consoles. The game also has full licencing so there has definitely not been any scrimping on game play experience.
There are two different ways to control the movement of your players/team.
One way is to use the Touch Controls. This method allows you to have more control not just over the player that has the ball but also players that don't have the ball e.g. being able to make an attacker go on a forward run and make space for a shot.
The second method of controlling your team is the standard button press commands (pass, shoot, sprint, etc).
One downfall is that every attacking move seems like it is repeated over and over. I don't know if this is down to the game design or if it is down to the fact that the game has to be limited as a result of it being on a handheld device.
Overall there is not much difference in the game other than the graphics and the platform that you play it on.
I would recommend downloading this game if you a FIFA fan purely because it is free and you have access to Ultimate Team.
Anyway, that is it for this week's post. Stay tuned for next week's article - Next Gen Weekend.
Thanks guys,
