FIFA 14 by EA SPORTS for Android

With its clever controls and amazing gameplay, FIFA 14 by EA Sports brings a delightful gaming experience to football fans. You'll love the detailed graphics, the fluid animations, and the faithfulness with which players and teams are depicted; but to avoid performance issues you need a tablet with a fast CPU and plenty of RAM.

Pros

Outstanding graphics and animations: FIFA 14 by EA Sports looks fantastic on a tablet. The stadiums, the pitch, and the players all look highly realistic, having been modeled after their real-life counterparts. Also, the app interface as a whole makes a positive impression with its sleek look and smoothness.

Touch flow controls: The game gives you the option to choose between classic, joystick-like controls and touch flow controls that let you pass the ball with a tap, shoot or tackle with a slide, and point and move to guide players on the pitch. The responsiveness of these controls sets the game apart from other football simulators.

Immersive: You can build your own team, purchase first-rate players, change tactics, customize kits, and compete in tournaments. With Matchday Madness, you can play the fixtures your team is playing; the condition of the real players is reflected on the pitch.

Cons

Huge download: The app is more than 1.3GB, which means that if you don't have access to a Wi-Fi network, you won't be able to get it unless you spend a fortune on your data plan.

Requires purchase: To unlock the Kick Off, Manager, and Tournament modes and enjoy all 33 leagues, 600 licensed teams, and over 16,000 players, you have to pay. It's a small purchase for what you're getting, though.

Steep learning curve: You need to put some good hours into this game before you can use all the touch controls, effortlessly.

Bottom Line

If you love football, you can't miss FIFA 14 by EA Sports. It's so realistic and well-made that it will keep you glued to your screen for hours, even if you don't buy the paid modes. We highly recommend this engaging app.
