So What IS New?

The ‘footage’ of the gameplay has continued on its quest towards perfect realism – perhaps better than real perfection – and the introduction of agile dribbling (which sounds like a terrible affliction of old age) makes set plays more intense and engaging than ever before. The physics engine has been tweaked to allow for subtle interventions by players, instead of the old 8-direction ‘star’ that previous iterations had the players stuck on.

The improved physics engine can be seen in ball movements and flight, with much more nuanced responses to the strength of kicks and throw-ins. The AI is more intelligent too, getting players to respond more authentically to the movement of the ball, taking up defensive or offensive positions without the player needing to micromanage every step of the way, resulting in faster and more fluid gameplay than has been seen before.

Absolutely irrelevant to the game and the team, but so much fun that they deserve a special mention are the stadium customisations, crowd chants and tifos that can be used to make your stadium your own. (Tifos are crowd-based displays, often across an entire side of a stadium, such as when each spectator is given a different colour card which, when held up, forms an enormous supportive message.) These little tweaks are ridiculous. But also fun!

The soundtrack is excellent and should be enjoyed for its own sake!

Modes of Play

  • Utimate Team – the classic mode features 100 iconic players from retirees, Eric Cantona, Petr Cech, Ashley Cole, Samuel Eto’o, Philipp Lahm, and many more, to all the names we know and love on our fields today. The mode no longer features health and stamina packs, with the player losing these during the game, but being fully restored for the next kick-off. Fitness mini games keep your players in the peak of condition
  • Career Mode – This has been dramatically improved, especially when playing in manager mode, where you can now instantly change players even during the game, when game plans change based on the opposition, weather or any other factor
  • Online play mode – Join in, play your boots off and have fun!
  • Volta Mode – More or less the same street mode as the last release, this mode allows you to get creative in a more informal setting than an official stadium surrounded by the game’s authorities!
