Player career mode allows you to control a Virtual Pro as he moves forward in his career. You can start your Pro in a big team where he will improve to the level of the team, or you could start him in a lesser ranking team that your Pro could carry to new heights. The beauty of Career Mode is that you can attempt to mimic any career you've seen in football history, or simply create your own story.
Below is a table of all the game controls in FIFA 14 for the Xbox and Playstation. Starting in FIFA 12, EA decided not to include an informational packet with each copy of the game, so some players asked us to make our own version for reference.
When you've mastered basic controls, you may want to consider moving on to FIFA Encyclopedia's very own Supreme FIFA 14 Guide to learn how to use this knowledge to dominate your opponent!
Game Face is a returning feature to the FIFA series as of FIFA 14. With Game Face, you can upload a front view of your face, or side view for added accuracy, and allow the computer to generate a face model for a FIFA player that looks just like you! You can then download this face on to your console where you can use it on your Virtual Pro. Although your game face will only show up to you in online Virtual Pro games, if you are in a Pro Club team, you or your teammates can even download the game faces of teammates so they will show up during games for everyone.
Below is a table of all the possible skill moves in FIFA 14. Remember that pretty much every skill move requires for the left trigger to be held down, without it your player will just dribble normally if you are moving the right stick. These controls are the same for both the Xbox and the Playstation, although on the Playstation the trigger you want to use is L2. Note that just these core moves are not the only tricks you can do; you can combine them however you want to create your own unique skill move.
Five star skills can be an incredibly useful (and flashy) tool in FIFA 14. Five star "skillers" can use more moves than most players to get past their opponent, some of which are even more effective than the average skill move. As a result, 5-star skillers have become highly-coveted in FIFA 14. The below table lists all 5-star skill players in FIFA 14!
The below table lists the highest rated players in FIFA 14 which you can add to your FIFA 14 Ultimate Team. You should know that most of these players are extremely expensive due to their high rating. Unless you have a lot of coins to spend, you'd be better off looking for more economical players as in Ultimate Team some can be even more effective than the expensive, high-rated players! Anyway, the table lists the best possible players in FIFA 14 Ultimate Team.
Shooting has become a lot more effective in FIFA 14. In FIFA 14, it is a lot more likely that you will be able to put away chances from 20-25 yards out while you would have shied away from the shooting opportunity in previous games. Players generally have better shooting and longshot capabilities. This is great, and it makes for much nicer goals. Take a look below at our collection of the top 10 longshot takers in FIFA 14 to decide who is the best for your Ultimate Team.
In FIFA 14, free kicks can be really easy to score. If you get the right guy to take them, then they can be even easier. Take a look at the table below of the best free kick shooters in FIFA 14 Ultimate Team and decide who would be the best for your team. Their score is a combination of their accuracy, power, and curve stats. Fortunately, EA have really diversified this list -- not all players come from the Premier League or La Liga! You will be surprised to see some unfamiliar names here.
Important Note: I would highly recommend you take a look at the FUT Millionaire Trading Center, the most complete and advanced Ultimate Team professional trading tools and methods hub in the world. With membership to the FUT Millionaire Trading Center, you will instantly gain access to the most advanced autobuyers (and now autobidders!) available that will allow you to make a killing.
FIFA 08's online ranking system is rather confusing to some people with the main question being “Why aren't I ranked?” The answer to this is that there are only 10,000 ranking spots, so you have to be better than at least the ten-thousandth ranked player in order to have a rank.
