Mac Life has posted their hands-on preview of the iOS version of FIFA 14. It appears the team has removed all of the buttons on the screen (although you can still bring back those legacy controls if you want to). More than 30 leagues, over 600 teams and 16,000+ players will be available.
Enter a new approach in which the screen is relatively uncluttered, letting you focus on comfortable touch commands to dominate on the pitch. Player movement is lightly automated, though you can drag from your player's spot to create a path forward, almost like in Flight Control. Tapping another player passes the ball to him, and when you approach the goal, you can swipe to take a shot. The controls are similar in style on defense, with a tap of an opponent triggering your nearest player to engage, and swipes used for slide tackles.
The ability to position your entire team with just a few quick drags allows you to create on-the-fly formations, plus the swipe-to-shoot command comes with surprising depth. "The speed and the length of my swipe determines the strength [of the shot]," notes Cotreanti. You can even curve your shots to add some extra finesse.
