The trailer, however, largely depicts men in a cheap instant fifa 14 coins boardroom discussing football administration. The film cost a reported ï¿¡19m to make, with Fifa said to have pumped ï¿¡16m into the project, and flatteringly portrays Blatter, Rimet and Havelange as visionaries and icons of the global game. Blatter himself was reported to have tweaked the script. The road to this summer’s World Cup in Brazil is a thoroughfare pockmarked with uncertainties. Will the fans be safe? Will the stadiums be finished? Mercifully, one element of the tournament that isn’t up in the air is its official videogame. One can state, without doubt, that it will be completed on time.

As has become traditional, the game is being developed by EA Canada, and is an offshoot of the all conquering FIFA series. But this year, there is a rather strange twist: despite the incredible commercial and critical success of FIFA 14 on the most recently released consoles, the World Cup title is exclusive to PS3 and Xbox 360. There’s only one place we can begin, then, when sitting down with line producer Matt Prior, and that’s by launching a studs up tackle towards the elephant in the room the lack of PS4 and Xbox One versions.?? “We have a certain amount of development resources we can put towards the game, and we ultimately want to get it to as many people as we possibly can, ” he says. “Right now, that means Xbox 360 and PS3 only.

The reach of those consoles is currently greater than that of the PS4 and Xbox One, particularly in Latin America and to have alienated the host nation wouldn’t have been good. “But I do think our game holds up against PS4 and Xbox One games, and in this instance it’s a disappointment that the newer consoles aren’t backwards compatible. There will be an offering for next gen guys through Ultimate Team, which we’ll talk more about at a later date. ”Simulation and innovation?? Thankfully, he’s not wrong about the game holding up well. After a day spent playing it at the Electronic Arts UK headquarters in Guildford, I can confirm that while it lacks the polish of ”new” FIFA, it still does a sterling job of recreating the tournament in virtual form, and crucially contains innovations that will surely carry over to FIFA 15 across www.fifacoinsworld.co.uk all formats. “
