Check out the latest FIFA 14 next-gen gameplay video from Bruce Grannec, which starts at roughly the 4:30 mark.

Looks the same

Not impressive, looks like Current-Gen, way to up-res all your sports games and do nothing new with them for next-gen EA...typical.

Sorry but it's not the football, it's the ping-pong!

8:42 in the video, Oxlade-Chamberlain is run down by a steamrolling El Shaarawy and dispossessed from behind. Ox-Chamberlain is not sprinting. He's just holding the football and gets overrun like he's stuck in mud.

This is pretty uncommon in professional football, but it happens every 30 seconds in FIFA '14. It's the single biggest pile of crap in FIFA '14 gameplay IMO.

So anyway, the presentation in next-gen is phenomenal but everything else looks exactly the same in terms of gameplay, so buy it if you want the newer pretty pictures.

The crowd atmosphere and visuals are probably worth it alone...$10 after all.

Exactly, looks totally idiotic the way these guys play it, but I think it has something to do with my previous post, too. Tackling is way too overpowered and nonsensical in FIFA '14.

I agree with Artur. While it looks good animation-wise it appears that it'll still play like FIFA, not soccer. Too bad Konami isn't making PES available for next gen consoles this year.

Agreed, but I doubt that EA paid attention to these details in near future.
The main problem with Fifa (not these guys) that it has no ball play in the middle of the field. Look at this ugly passing system, players don't even try to trap the ball just ping-pong it to each other, it's awfull. I don't care about living world and graphics while these kind of things looks so unnatural.

Hard to tell if there are major graphical improvements on a small compressed video and because the game is played at such a wide angle. I can tell you though that current gen players during gameplay can look very jaggy especially in the rain so I am really hoping it is cleared up next gen and that one can actually read the numbers on the uniforms clearly.

Gameplay wise this didn't show much but mostly because of the way these guys are playing with the ping pong passing and constant sprinting both offensively and defensively. It is really annoying that anytime we get an early look at the next gen sports games the players seem to have no understanding of realistic tactics. I play a slower possession style with a lot of skill moves and dice people up so trust me when I say it is possible to take a much more realistic approach. I was hoping to see some of these new instinct triggered animations but really couldn't tell, again probably because of the annoying spam play.

@Artur, there really is midfield play if you choose to play that way. It is just a more patient and skillful based way to play so most players do not take the time to learn it properly. I think mostly because of the history of Fifa in which legacy defending with its laser beam homing style forced people to play very quickly. With tactical defending though it was drastically changed. However though the game became way more realistic most players continued to play with the same sprint ping pong run up the side and cross style.

Its rewarding to learn the nuances of skill moves and patiently finding openings to exploit, just make sure if you are playing h2h unranked games your opponent isn't using legacy defending and you will get a much more well paced game. If they try that run full out at you defense then it is easy to exploit and get around with a bit of skill.

In h2h unranked if someone is using legacy d I don't even bother playing anymore because it just annoys me to the point where the game is very unfun even if I am winning.

Does not look impressive at all.

It was fun. Played the demo at Best Buy. Im not a diehard FIFA player but I enjoy the series and the demo confirmed my decision to buy the game next week. For all you curious, its the same old FIFA for the most part. The AI was a little suspect a few times, but overall I had a lot of fun and will be buying it Friday.
