            It’s that time of the year again. Girlfriends around the world prepare for the next few months being ignored. That’s right, it’s the Fifa 14 launch. Stores everywhere hosted launch parties and Fifa tournaments. The new game boasts many new features and changes. Players will need to rethink their strategies and tactics to be successful in this year’s edition of Fifa. Many of the go-to tactics from Fifa 13 will no longer be applicable on the newer version.

            With many new changes, veteran players may find it harder to do well at first. Newer players will find it much easier to pick up, possibly leaving veterans in their dust. Games have been shortened, leading to lower-scoring games. The passing game will be much more necessary, as players now take much larger touches, making dribbling through opponents next to impossible. Clearly this year’s Fifa is one for the record books, and quite possibly the best yet.

            Personally, I enjoy this version of Fifa to all its predecessors. It is very enjoyable, even if it is more difficult! It adds an important element to the game- realism. In earlier versions of Fifa the games were always very high scoring, which is not realistic. The game is far more enjoyable because of these many changes.
