    Re: 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Demo Available Now For 360, Later Today For PS3

    After playing as Brasil v Japan, here are my thoughts:

    1. It throws me off that they switched the colors associated with positions. GK is now Green, DEF is now Blue, MID is now Orange, and ATT is now Yellow.

    2. All players appear to have CPU generated faces for their bio pics. If they do go this route instead of using actual photos, perhaps they could have made it have some animation while you are looking at it or something.

    3. Lol Neymar has 0 stars in his weak foot. Don't know if that's a glitch or not. Btw, I think they added in diving. Neymar seems to flop around a lot after a tackle. Kinda cool! Perhaps it will be a new trait for FIFA's to come!

    4. The interface is great. Loving the festive theme and it really brings a great feel to the game.

    5. The player momentum system seems to be toned down a lot, almost to being gone. Don't mind that as much. I feel like players respond more like IRL.

    6. Wish they would have put my team in the demo (Germany) instead of dumpy England (sorry to all you Brits lol).

    7. The celebrations post goal are really cool. Loved seeing the Japanese fans disappointed and my coach celebrating.

    8. Loving the ability to run plays on corners now. Huge addition imo.

    Addendum to #3: Hopefully they make diving for future games. Would love to see players get carded for diving too much in a match. Likewise maybe you win a call every now and then. Could be added as a player trait as well.

      Can only name 7 subs on the bench. Is that a new rule or did EA **** up?
      Don't you EVER read my blog? It's gotten a lot better.

          First thought upon playing this was that the final product will have to have a way to bypass all the introductions and anthems. I was button bashing everything, but ended up just having to wait.

          Liked the gameplay, usual cutaways for the now standard substitutions did make me laugh. Absolute FIFA staple.

            I've been playing FIFA 14 on Xbox One since launch and after playing this demo I just can't go back to these lousy graphics. The textures are just awful. Luckily I still have time to cancel my pre-order. Sad. Just sad.

                Haha, they got the shorts color wrong (compared to the photos released today). Cue the outrage!

                  7 subs is a bit weird unless FIFA have changed the rules which I'm sure they haven't. 7 subs is usually the norm in most internationals but at previous world cups you've allowed 12 (The whole squad involved in the matchday squad).

                      I'd say that the one from the videogame looks better than the real thing, the blue short makes it decent.

                        wow. What happened to FIFA? I know EA tends to be on the side of arcadey gameplay, but this is pretty bad. The player momentum from 14 is almost non-existent. The speed is pretty fast even on slow. The animations don't seem as good either. FIFA 14 (mainly on PC but even consoles) is much better. I'm disappointed.

                        EDIT: sliders help a bit with the game speed but it's still bad, IMO. The animations look fast and twitchy I guess you can say. I don't get the sense of any strategy at all.

                          This!!! Been playing on the PS4 for awhile now. Downloaded the demo last night for PS3 and it was a rough transition graphics wise. Still might pick it up though with the amount of national teams in it.

                          MLB - St Louis Cardinals

                          NCAA Basketball - UK Wildcats

                            I think we need to look at this game in a different way. Don't look at it as "cutting edge graphics" or "ultra realistic physics engines". I'm seeing it more as a game to get where I can sit down with my friends and just have a good time playing. Similar to Super Smash Bros on the N64...

                              As much as I've enjoyed the demo I am still passing on the full game. EA hyped fifa 14 next gen and how much better the experience is and now they want us to go backwards. I was very surprised when they made the annoucement that it wouldn't be coming to next gen consoles.
