You can't buy FIFA 15 yet, so should you buy FIFA 14?

If World Cup fever has you itching to buy a soccer video game, you may be wondering if now is a smart time to pick up FIFA 14, with FIFA 15's release just three months away.

Right now, you can find used copies of FIFA 14 for $30 to $40, depending on your preferred gaming platform.

Even if you plan to buy FIFA 15 when it releases on September 23, you'll still be able to sell your copy of FIFA 14 and get $20 to $30 back, using popular websites like Amazon and eBay.

So does paying $30 to $40 for a game that's soon to be outdated -- or even $10 to $20 for a "three-month rental" -- make sense?

I downloaded FIFA World Cup from PSN store for under $30 (with my PS+ membership).

I really think it depends. My circumstances were also such that I was able to get FIFA for less than the prices here, and although I have no doubt that FIFA 15 will be great, I don't think it will suddenly solve every issue we've ever had with FIFA games. Tackles will no doubt still carry some woes, the career modes will likely see few major changes, and I've got other games I'll want to spend the full price on rather than waiting for them to drop. The FIFA 14 timing for me was perfect.

I think 15 will be a beautiful, next-gen priority game, but FIFA 14 is also beautiful, and I've managed to cure my fever just fine.

FIFA 14 was a great buy for me. The previous edition that I owned was FIFA 12, which didn't feature international play inside of the career. Just having the option to play international games along with club games is worth the money, however I will say that FIFA 12 should have had that option had EA Sports been developing this franchise correctly.

"Like most EA Sports titles, this is a depiction of the sport as it is seen in SportsCenter Top 10 highlights, not on a two-hour Saturday telecast."

Couldn't say it any better.

It worked for me, plus having $20 saved up on PSN helped make the choice

Question: Why can't multiple companies have the club licenses and FIFA license, like how multiple companies here can use MLB and NBA teams? Basically, why don't EA and Konami have the licenses simultaneously or is it just certain licenses EA has exclusivity on?
