I don't know how long you've been playing the FIFA series for but I've played every iteration since 2006 and over the years I've become familiar with how EA markets their products. They're campaign is always based on visually impressive eye candy along with buzzwords that make incremental additions to gameplay seem like brand new features, and I welcome anyone who disagrees to provide evidence as to the contrary. For example, look at the rear box-art for FIFAs 11, 12, & 13, each of which boasts new features, then tell me how the core gameplay between them is dramatically different. This is not to say that the game hasn't improved, however, faults within the gameplay that existed 3 years ago (poor defending AI, ninja dribbling, collision detection, etc.) still exist, and they drag down the on-pitch experience. When you couple that with the quote from the EA rep about how the Ignite Engine's improvements are mostly visual, why would I expect next-gen FIFA 14's GAMEPLAY, not it's visuals, to be much better than current-gen? Long story short, what I stated above, along with the fact that to date EA has spoken a great deal about gameplay improvements without showing much gameplay, leaves me skeptical considering their track record. If you perceive that to be representative of the cynical mindset of today's gamers, then I'm sorry to have offended you.

I'm familiar with EAs marketing, and I agree with your comments, but for once I'm actually feeling positive about some of their sports titles. Maybe that 's just me looking forward to nexr gen.

I didn't take offense to your comment.
