Pro cam is available yes. I created my own pro cam mod (only cam I ever use) that allows you to zoom in closer. If interested, create a cl .ini file with the following values in it, and place in the main game folder:

PRO_CAM_ZOOM_MAX = 100
PRO_CAM_ZOOM_MIN = 0.025

There's a Manchester City team in the game. Aren't they like the same thing only blue?

Nevermind, I didn't see that you had to create the file.


Thanks

I've figured out what I think they've finally fixed that has me really loving this. They made it where you have to first have to gain control and then make a move. Last year it was all basically one move and ended up with an unrealistic amount of ball control. Now it seems like only the Messi's of the game can do that. It just feels so much more realistic. Also, I opened the time mod in notepad and set halves to 10 minutes. It feels just right. Great pacing and flow to the match. The CPU didn't ever go into hectic mode. I beat PSG with Man City 4-0 and it was all on great shots. I even had Clichy score on a knifing run from the left side of the box. I'm really starting to love the weight of the ball on shots. The shots look more realistic. Too many shots in 12 where screamers. Can't wait for the full game.

It's much easier to quickly change formations in the pause menu now. Go to the formations tile and instead of pressing (A) on Xbox flick the right stick left/right for quick changes. Now just if we could do a quick sub inside the game.

Where is the file located for this?

Download the file from that link and place it in the FIFA 14 Game folder.

Feels about the same as last year for me, with possibly some slight defensive upgrades via the AI. I just don't like the feel of this game anymore, the pace of the game or the dribble controls.

On the plus side, the graphics and presentation were very good. Very crisp player models and slick menu interface, although I still prefer the simplicity of PES. I definitely enjoyed this demo more than last year's version, but it just doesn't engage me the way PES does. Sorry for the comparisons, I realize this is a FIFA thread.

5.1 surround? My PC is set up for 5.1 and I don't see an option to have it 5.1....

Is it just me or the pitch color seems off or dull? Will it be polished when the final product arrives?

Further, it seems the camera angle for dynamic view has change and camp nou is zoomed out too much?

What, you don't like lime green grass? There were improved pitch color mods for 12 that worked for 13 and should work for 14, just won't be able to install them until modding tools for 14 are available.

tried the console version and it just doesn't compare to PC IMO. Graphics are excellent on PC. Game runs super smooth too and I don't even have a major gaming rig. Looking forward to the mods.

Played another red bulls(me) vs Dortmund game. Sorry my earlier post was in x360 post instead of PC. I must say one thing for sure that EA has not yet rectified the God mode for lower teams. First I had played both games as Dortmund (me) against red bulls and both were close games. I lost 1-0 n won another on 5-4 penalties. But this time being red bulls I lost 5-0 which was expected. But the lower ranked teams are still given some super powers when in world class or legendary level.
PS. I played passin n through ball manual controls n only shot n cross semi assisted

Yeah I noticed that as well, couldn't get thru one game on legendary it's so bad (seems worse than ever actually). I've since been able to apply global edits to the database and have been having fair and fun games on legendary, so there is hope for the full game.

Sorry but whats global edits. Do u mean to say the slider settings we all used to do in FIFA 13 for legendary? Also if its any configuration file pls provide me link. I m using Origin client so will ibe able to do the changes??

Re: FIFA 14 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions (PC)

Also I played one more game. Dortmund (me again) against red bulls. Though I lost 1-0 again on world class (not legendary), but there was some changes in the attacking sense of red bulls. They kept more possession than me for the first time but I think I m getting the hang of it. Since I m playing manual controls so I think the only thing I need to do for myself is that there should be a little pass error for CPU which I will try coz theirs passing is pin-point. Also I will need to look into the defense point of view coz my defense had never been that good in FIFA 13 also. If any pointers for defense without changing the sliders then do provide.

No, I mean editing the game's database and globally editing player ratings. I do that to tone down and eliminate the CPU boosts on Legendary as I only play on that difficulty. Editing tools for the PC are available at soccergaming.com. I may upload my edited db here as well, I'm just doing some fine-tuning on it at the moment.

Re: FIFA 14 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions (PC)

i'm trying to realize how you're able to tone down difficulty editing player ratings. this would mean making the team you play stronger than the others, right? don't you think it's much easier and more efficient to do that using sliders?
