    FIFA World Cup Brazil is a excellent meeting of the near perfect FIFA franchise from EA and the very perfect FIFA World Cup event.

    The perfect complement to this summer's antics, and the finest footy effort on last-gen machines. [July 2014, p.64]

    2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil doesn't have the depth of an annual release, lacking the online modes that have made recent FIFA games so enormously popular and featuring slightly simplified gameplay.

    FIFA World Cup can be interesting if you haven't played FIFA 14: otherwise is just a very expensive update.

    FIFA World Cup 2014 has enough for both newcomers and veterans alike, but the appeal is embedded so deeply in the World Cup playoffs that that appeal won't last past the actual soccer season. It features great gameplay and a fair amount of modes at a discounted price, and the overall presentation makes other sport franchises look childish at best. Nonetheless, the strength of FIFA World Cup Brazil is in its cashing in on the World Cup itself rather than in the sport, resulting in a good start and a bad finish.

    While its presentation is bogged down with messy menus and woeful atmospherics, packing in all 203 eligible teams and simply letting the tournament happen provides a platform for the magic to be recreated over and over again.

    2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil isn’t a bad game. It offers a setting that’s perfectly fit for the occasion and includes almost every license that you can expect. But since it’s largely the same game as FIFA 14 the price tag feels a bit to high, especially considering that very few will play after the real world cup is over.

    I wish we had halves in the scoring, I rounded up. This is a good FIFA game, not great, I have played the series since 2006, in the ps3I wish we had halves in the scoring, I rounded up. This is a good FIFA game, not great, I have played the series since 2006, in the ps3 generation of games this ranks above the last world cup game. It is not the best of the generation but surpasses FIFA 14 which was a mess on last gen consoles. I think this game is fun to play, it does not capture the same magic as the 2006 game but it has all the teams who competed and I like the idea of playing as Bangladesh (I have a good friend from there). The gameplay feels a little clunky at first but it plays like a normal FIFA game, just not as smooth as when they had the formula just right earlier in the decade in 11 and/or 12 (the years are running together for me). The training drills are a nice touch, but I improved my players too much and it has become a bit too easy, I got Gerrard to 90 and Rooney to 92, Lambert to 85 and Sturridge to 88, a wee bit silly but hey I'm good, I can't blame the game for me being good. It is more challenging than most FIFA games once you get to the real games against good teams. I also like Andy Goldstein on the in-game radio, nice little touch. I rated this based on other football games I have played.… Expand

    Questo Fifa e carino il fatto scegliere tutte le nazioni però secondo me alcune modalità erano meglio se le toglievano.

The gameplay is painfully real and that takes away fun. No major differences between Messi and any other player, all run at the same speed. In conclusion, playing Fifa Brazil is frustraiting because you got to think a lot in controls and so fun takes back seat.… Expand

How EA can make a game that has gone so far backwards is beyond me but I'll try to explain anyway.
    There are so many things wrong with this game that it is hard to believe I have bought the finished article and not a test version, the players dont put through balls or passes in the direction you press, defenders do not want to head away crosses, and the strikers look like they are kicking a ball of iron when they try to strike the ball!
    I am disgusted with myself for even purchasing this game in the hope that it would be an improvement on the last FIFA, but it is obvious that EA are going to concentrate on FIFA15 for the nextgen consoles and so this has been completely overlooked when making FIFA WC.

First of all this should of course has been a DLC. Way too expensive as a single game. Ripoff! Second, EA Sports has been really lazy this time (you are slowly getting used to it). The presentation is looking amateurish. The gameplay is slow, stupid, unresponsive, predictable and scripted. Like all the other Fifa games... So poor by EA Sports, but hey, it is what you can expect...… Expand
