FIFA 14 On Xbox One?

Who got the xbox 1 with fifa 14 today and what do you think?

Personally it grew on me and fast! So at first I was thinking this is just a sharper looking version of the 360 game but by the time I finished my first match I was impressed and the more I played the more impressed I was.

The ignite engine is awesome and it's good to know that this is just the start! Everythings so fluid and it feels like there's nothing you can't do or attempt to do. The collisions and challenges are awesome and some of the shots I pulled off literally had me goin wow out loud... Even if they missed!

I haven't tried all the modes yet, I just had a few kick off matches but I'm interested to know what other xbox1 owners think and to know any cool new things people have done

Better get used to it, this is where EA is headed with next-gen: removing offline modes and customization options. Why do you think EA removed the ability to use custom squads in Madden in career mode? Because they want to control and dictate exactly how their games can be played. I guarantee FIFA PC will be discontinued in a couple of years because it's just too easy to edit and customize. I couldn't give a rat's butt how good NG FIFA is; I refuse to buy games which developers willfully design in such a way as to prevent the individual gamer from customizing the gaming experience to his own liking.

EDIT: User comments about issues with NG FIFA. This shit is the sort of thing I'm talking about, all of it either a non-issue or easily fixed on the PC:

- oh boy the camera thing is annoying me.. Some stadiums are barely unplayeble to me since the camer is so Low i get no perspective and the game stays 90% of the time in the lower part of the screen... frustrating!

- these lob passes needs to be sorted out, to many goals from them

- so how to defend those super lobs??? my defenders always freezing at the player switch

- so many damn second chance goals from keeper parries.

- Lack of fouls are the number one thing that need fixing in this game IMO.

- Lack of fouls really kills the immersion of this game; might be even less than last generation 14.

- I want to like FIFA, but honestly the way they surreptitiously removed features from the next-gen version makes me mark down the game considerably. To warn anyone looking at this game for PS4 or X1 - if you use tournaments/creation centre or the like, do not buy the next-gen version.

- what they did with taking tournement mode out realy frustrates me. the reasons fifa gives is BS. they just dont want there brasil 2014 worldcup game to loose sales because ps4,x box one owners can make a custom worldcup.

I never play tournament mode so i never noticed that the mode was missing. All developers don't want people modding their games it's not just EA, I mod wwe 2k14 for the 360 and every year they make the game harder to mod, its just what developers do.

No game is ever perfect but as long as it's a solid game out the box I'm happy and next gen fifa is definately a solid game ( i think current gen is too but the problem with current gen is the ai is too predictable, i play a modded fifa on 360 but i never mod the gameplay only add new faces and kits etc).

with the problems you've listed above i've never had any of them, i actually love the new long passing the trajectory is more realistic the ball doesn't hang so much so you can now ping quick long balls with top players, you defend them easily by positioning ur defender in the right place, and if you can't, you position the defender so the collecting attacker isn't in a position to run straight past u (its like real football, stay goal side of ur man, basic principle of defending).

Fouling i agree, not enough fouling but i found this was the same with the 360 version there's no fouls at all from the CPU on that, its annoying and they should fix it with an update but dunno if they will.

about keeper parries i've scored from a couple but haven't conceded from one yet, for me whats more of a problem are the keepers seem to be amazing they save some great shots when ur not expecting it.

and i agree with you, the only reason for taking tournaments out is to sell more world cup games that's a sly move it's nt like next gen consoles can't accomodate the mode.

Not all developers do that, Bethesda and Rockstar always make really moddable games.

That's not even close to accurate. I've been modding PC sports games since the late 1980's, and EA by far has been the worst game developer from the perspective of systematically removing editing options and customization features from their games. It's like a psychosis with them. For example, in PES 2014 I can edit and customize every team's tactics and playing style. But in FIFA, EA restricts it to 28 custom team tactic slots -- absolutely pathetic given there's no reason to limit editing like that.
