World Cup start for two months, but you can play virtual championship now. Yes - even Polish.

After the bust, which turned out to be an overlay on FIFA 12, adding the opportunity to play a virtual Euro 2012, EA Sports is back to the traditional tournament issuing edit box. Unfortunately, at full price and only on PS3 and Xbox 360

On the pitch World Cup is largely a replay of FIFA 14, indicating that we are talking about editing on older consoles. Do not be deceived, that you will find here at least a trace of next-gene calculates the series, the glimpses we see on the PS4 and Xbox One. News in the World Cup is limited to details and mostly serve to artificially raise the spectacular matches.

It's simpler, more shallowly - what players who are up to date with the series will catch right away. Shares smoothly glide from one goal over the other, avoiding the tactical nuances of the struggle for domination of the midfield. It is not some crazy escape from the simulation, because the authors did not cross the boundaries of good taste, but the World Cup puts simply exhilarating football. This is actually a great tradition associated games tournaments. Remember even Euro 2008, in which even the weaklings could strike back with a flourish then Arsenal. In game dedicated championships in South Africa was the same - counted glamorous shares mighty arrows and parades, for which sits in front of the TV during the tournament. This year's game continues this approach, which makes it particularly accessible to the novice, but a virtual football maniacs turning his nose, feeling robbed of part of the fun. Except that they should stay away from the World Cup rather from a distance and accumulate money for the next full-fledged installment in the series. Tournament edition is largely swapping decoration so that tempt the Brazilian World Cup official licensed those who are in virtual Kopaninach shortcomings. They will not complain that the new animation is malutko appreciate their brilliance. Miss pasywniejsze AI controlled by the console players, because thanks to him, the action moves smoothly from the gate under the crossbar. Just before the criminal defense field sets its ranks and trying to interfere. The attack position like here often match handball when the ball given in his face defenders finally goes to the player with the power in his leg, which will try to impact from a distance. If the ball passes the defense, I would probably end up in the net, if you intercept it, 20 players will start the sprint to the other side of the field.

Soccer World Cup is a bit like backyard games, but so spectacular goals rather the block does not strzelaliście. Well, probably did not have a judge who is in the game often has odgwizdywać burned, but remains blind to the obvious fouls. Often, I managed to finish the game without a single offense from both sides, which in other editions of the game would have been unthinkable. Conversely, with injuries - players catch them in power, often without contact with a rival. This is little justification in the World Championship mode, in which a major player injury is a big problem for the coach, but until such overclock kontuzjogenności in single matches a little nervous. During the games there are inserts with the fans and coaches react to boiskowe events, but the same shots we've seen in the game on the World Cup in South Africa. It's a pity that the authors did not develop this theme, because to focus the camera inserts and entry to the stadium they make a great impression, which then quickly disappears.

Football feast
When the moment we do not observe the struggle of players on the pitch, attacking us from all sides atmosphere Brazilian tournament. 50 days before the start of the World Cup it is not working yet so hard, but I know very well that when, in June we will wait for the real games, the official license for the game very gain in power. For fans of football are huge feast, and even I - for which the menu at any football game could be black and white, if only I'd be faster on the virtual pitch - I'll probably be humming under his breath as the more catchy numbers from the extensive list of songs from the game. This just the audio frame lurks the most interesting novelty World Cup and one of the two things that I wish our FIFA 15 (except for deploying players at different kicks). We find it in the official World Cup mode where we have to choose the actual finalists, ordered in the appropriate groups. I'm talking about two pairs of radio commentators who are entertaining visit to the menu for hours conversations, anecdotes, analysis and fictional scenarios. They talk about the fate of the team and its results, but also about everyday life at the World Cup, fun events they witnessed or respond to letters from listeners. In June, the illusion will be even stronger, and now both teams listened to with great pleasure.

Also comment pitch during the championship gained that commentators could prepare a series of anecdotes related to the majority of the finalists. During the meeting often mention previous events, highlights of key players and good measure to evaluate the chances of teams. Listen to them with pleasure, but this time there is no option to enable Polish comment.

Let's change history
When it comes to the same modes, we got a standard set of ground Tournament of Euro 2008.'s Official Polish championship mode will not play, but nothing stands in the way to go with our Eagles eliminations and without risk dismissal by the Football Association on their own to get to Brazil . In June we will get to play a daily portion of scenarios taken from real tournament. While we can play scenarios with skills that allow them to experience key moments. It's a great thing, with additional drama created by the list of things to do and the fact that we do not often have very little time. Returns a mode where we are fighting for is captained to later carry it throughout the tournament. The network can play a friendly match, a tournament with random opponents or equivalent Seasons of FIFA 14, in which instead of promotion through the leagues unlocks new stadiums, on which we measure up with other players for points needed to move on.

Verdict
If you have a shelf FIFA 14, 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil can leave in peace. Any doubts dispelled the same EA, counting itself repainted in the new decorations and focused only on the World Cup game the same as for a fully-fledged, which also contains club competition in the series. World Cup gets old quickly, powerfully losing value along with the final whistle of the final of the championship. Nothing happens on the pitch, does not justify such an expense if you are from a series to date. The case is different when you play football games in a blue moon. World Cup is friendly to newcomers, and gameplay were doctored so that everyone could show off the beautiful goals. Shots here are somewhat stronger than they should, the ball spins a little more than usual, and all animations pulled up so that on the replays even average players presented themselves as stars. Just as the World Cup looks like a new game, but it is not.
