Reddit noticed this today, as did EA Sports' official forums in December. And now it's confirmed: EA Sports based its Football Ultimate Team card for Pelé, the greatest footballer in history, off a 44-year-old picture of him relaxing in the tub. » 2/22/14 6:20pm 2/22/14 6:20pm

Heading into this console transition my opinion was that, of all the genres that could possibly sell a new Xbox or PlayStation, sports would come in last. Despite the richer visuals and refined experiences I've seen so far, that opinion still stands. » 11/17/13 5:00pm 11/17/13 5:00pm

So, we've discovered the formula for doing a next-gen trailer in the sports genre, especially when the series is miles ahead of the competition. Begin with a good 30 seconds of slow-motion pregame, then build up to kick-off/tipoff at the crescendo of a pop anthem. Here's FIFA 14's trailer for PS4 and Xbox One. » 10/26/13 5:00pm 10/26/13 5:00pm

In game development realism is dangerous line to traverse, and there is no endgame. » 10/18/13 1:00am 10/18/13 1:00am

The third of three sports titles releasing on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 at launch arrived on shelves today—NBA 2K14—but if reviews and sales figures for its peers are any indication, fans appear to be waiting for the next console generation before they buy the sports titles closing out this one. If at all. » 10/01/13 12:30pm 10/01/13 12:30pm

Improving upon existing tech, FIFA 14's new features include Friendly Goalkeepers™. » 9/30/13 9:45pm 9/30/13 9:45pm

I guess...someone at EA Australia signed off on this? Thinking this was a...good thing? » 9/26/13 3:00am 9/26/13 3:00am

This is ... remarkable. Well, that's my view of it anyway. Nintendo published a news release this morning that described FIFA 14 on the 3DS in just about the worst terms you can apply to a new sports video game. » 9/23/13 11:00am 9/23/13 11:00am

They don't get much attention from gaming sites, probably because lol EA Sports, but every year Electronic Arts goes nuts with their live-action commercials for FIFA. » 9/09/13 2:00am 9/09/13 2:00am

'Same great gameplay.' People were pissed that FIFA 13 on the PS Vita was essentially a reconditioned FIFA Soccer, the launch title for the device. Well, there's more where that came from for FIFA 14, reports Eurogamer. » 8/24/13 3:00pm 8/24/13 3:00pm

In separate announcements this morning, EA Sports said gamers who begin Ultimate Teams on Madden NFL 25 or FIFA 14 for Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 may transfer all their cards to those games' versions on Xbox One and PS4, once those consoles release. » 7/23/13 4:30pm 7/23/13 4:30pm

FIFA 14 has locked in agreements with 19 of Brazil's top professional clubs, doubling that league's representation in the world's top selling football simulation. The deal also, interestingly, points to one of the vestiges of early licensed sports video games—ones that had permission to use players but not their teams. » 7/17/13 6:00pm 7/17/13 6:00pm

If you've ever wanted to see one of the world's best footballers dressed up like a bad Doctor Who villain, all in the name of video games, now's your chance. » 7/16/13 3:30am 7/16/13 3:30am

The most glaring indictment of the Wii U's poor performance to date is the fact that FIFA—one of the biggest-selling franchises worldwide, in any genre—is publishing for everything but Wii U. FIFA 14 will come out on the PSP. It will publish on the original Wii. There'll be a version on the PS Vita, for god's sake. » 6/15/13 11:00am 6/15/13 11:00am

I couldn't care how fancy the lighting is on a driving game or shooter on the next-gen systems, but one thing I have been looking forward to seeing is how my favourite sports games look on the Xbox One and PS4. » 6/10/13 7:55pm 6/10/13 7:55pm

This is the first gameplay trailer for FIFA 14. Not the fancy new FIFA for next-gen systems. The now tired-looking FIFA for 360, PS3 and PC. » 6/06/13 3:45am 6/06/13 3:45am

The first details on FIFA 14 point to continued refinement of the gameplay in EA Sports' top-selling, critically acclaimed football franchise. But what wasn't announced also is noteworthy. » 4/17/13 9:00am 4/17/13 9:00am
