On 8 June 2014, the German national team draws its training camp "Campo Bahia" in Brazil to take a run at winning the World Cup Trophy. Who wants to be sure that it works this time with the title, may resort to Fifa World Cup Brazil 2014.

The different status of European Championship and World Cup demonstrates EA Sports: The last official European Championship game was just a download extension for Fifa 12 For the approaching World Cup, the publisher released a stand-alone full price game - if only for Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 core is of course the World Cup in Brazil, which can be ordered group stage through the whole process with your own desire team - until the grand finale, which takes place in real life in Rio de Janeiro on 13 July 2014.

The console game features not only the actual tournament but also qualified for the finals. So if for example a team like Austria will enable the subsequent participation, receives also the possibility, as well as to test games, to control a single team captain and small training sessions to improve the players' skills.

It is striking that although the basic game mechanics of Fifa over 14, but it was revised in favor of a higher accessibility. The ball can now be longer and lighter lead at the base, the opposing defense is not as aggressive and tactically trained as usual, also are also players and ball-less realistic physics - tempo change about now succeed much easier. Beginners therefore need less time to raise a successful offensive play, experts will return complain about the decreased degree of simulation and the reduced depth of play.

As usual, EA Sports from the official license extensively made use of. The stadiums are also in the game as the supposedly final World Cup squad. All stars are therefore their own player values ​​available, the jerseys are meticulously modeled on the original: Schweinsteiger and Co. run on not only in the new white, but also in the red-black-striped alternate jersey. Great attention was also directed to the manager: So one may Jogi Löw's every time in how he protested violently depending on the game situation or erupts in cheers.

Even off the court is set to mood. In addition to successful menus a euphoric audience, flashes of cheering crowds at public viewing events, and a shower of confetti wait for the trophy handover to the player. However, these scenes are repeated rapidly.

This also applies to the not always successful Comment by Buschmann and Breuckmann, who was 14, although supplemented by new spells compared to Fifa yet but soon monotonous and is sometimes inappropriate. Visually, the game moves about on par with Fifa - unfortunately when it comes to slight graphical glitches and stuttering.

Fifa World Cup Brazil 2014 will be available from April 17, 2014 for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 and costs about 60 euros. For ten euros more also a "Champions Edition" is available that contains some additional, but not really valuable digital content, such as a FIFA World Cup All-Star team, scoring a goal and additional historical footballs.

Conclusion

A loveless Addon at full price is 2014 not become Fifa World Cup Brazil. EA Sports has the venues, teams and atmosphere of the World Cup 2014 integrates perfectly coherent to the game. One recommendation is the title still only a beginner or casual player. Who already has Fifa 14, should think twice whether be worth around 60 euros for less volume and lower realism.
