"FIFA 14 is far from a revolutionary release, and it's arguably inferior to the much improved PES 2014 in terms of pure footballing game play. That said, FIFA 14 is the most complete virtual footballing experience available today. Whether in single or multi player, there's enough to keep fans busy well into the new football season and beyond."
