FIFA 14 1.0.0.0

FIFA 14 is a highly popular soccer simulation game that is now available for free on Windows 8. With a strong emphasis on the Ultimate Team mode, this game offers a great gaming interface and new touch controls.

Unlike the desktop version, FIFA 14 for Windows 8 is specifically designed for touch devices and offers a different set of features and technical quality. It allows you to play matches in various modes such as Ultimate Team, Games of the Week, Support Your Club, Penalty Shootout, and Online modes. You can challenge players from all over the world and climb the worldwide leaderboard.

However, some game modes like Manager, Tournament, and Kick Off are only unlockable through in-app purchases. The game also brings back Match of the Day, where you can reflect on real-life game events from different teams, including injuries, player form, and changes in tactics.

The Ultimate Team mode in FIFA 14 allows you to create and manage your virtual team. You can participate in auctions to buy and sell players, improve your team's camaraderie, and compete in games and competitions. Winning matches earns you points and virtual money to buy new cards and improve your team.

FIFA 14 supports 33 leagues, over 600 fully-licensed teams, more than 16,000 players, and 34 faithfully recreated stadiums. The game interface follows the same style and design as the desktop version, offering excellent usability and navigability.

In terms of controls, FIFA 14 introduces a new type of touch control based on gestures, swiping, and tapping. While it may require some practice to get used to, the game includes an in-depth tutorial to help you master the new controls. Alternatively, you can still use the classic virtual joypad if you prefer.

The 3D graphics in FIFA 14 for Windows 8 are good, although not as excellent as the desktop version. The animations and player movements may feel a bit slow, but it doesn't significantly affect the gameplay. The game features an excellent soundtrack, as EA has always taken care of the entire FIFA franchise's soundtrack.

Overall, FIFA 14 for Windows 8 offers an innovative and free alternative to the famous football simulator. While some additional modes require in-app purchases, the default modes still provide a fair amount of challenge, especially the Ultimate Team and online multiplayer modes. Whether you prefer touch controls or the classic virtual joypad, FIFA 14 delivers an enjoyable gameplay experience.
