Before I get into telling you about 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil, I might as well acknowledge the elephant in the room. Yes, the game isn’t being released on the PS4 or Xbox One, but EA has its reasons for that. The PS3 and Xbox 360 have a much bigger user base, plus very few people in Brazil actually own one of these next-gen consoles. You see they’re extremely expensive in South America, and EA don’t want to alienate the country or continent where the World Cup is taking place. Now I’m not saying I completely agree with the decision (I was gutted like most of you regarding no next-gen version), but can certainly understand their reasoning. They want to maximise sales in all regions and devote development time to consoles that are out there in big numbers, it makes sense. With that addressed, time to talk about the game itself. Surprise, it’s actually pretty decent.
