Rating: Price: £39 / $60 The beautiful game has been made even more beautiful. And while those looking for significant overhauls to the FIFA recipe may be left wanting, subtle tweaks make FIFA 14 the most complete outing yet. Take the improved animation for example. Players move and feel like real human beings, transferring their weight convincingly and colliding with wince-inducing authenticity. In the game: Cover star Gareth Bale gets a shot off against Real Madrid's rivals Barcelona Overall presentation remains strong. Graphically, it’s almost identical to its predecessor, but pre-match introductions and the general look on the whole has been polished. During matches, for example, a flood of stats are drip-fed on to the screen – ranging from shots on target, possession and total number of saves each goalkeeper has made. Coupled with strong commentary and it all adds to a wonderfully authentic experience.
