It has been said that they will not do "full next gen" versions until they are ready. They don't want to go through the same problems that they faced during the beginning of this gen.
So yeah, expect improved ports of current gen during the first year or so.
Not sure if serious. PC version is a mess.

More of the same! WOOO!
Never played it on PC since i'm not a big PC gamer and all my friends are on PS3 for online matches. Glad to hear it's much better there. Gives me at least a little hope for the PS4 versions...
Eww
Dunno,with Xbox360 it was FIFA 07/08 when they really moved to the next gen back in the day and not the first one(Fifa2006)

Does PES 14 already get Fox Engine on current gen?
Might be a year with some actual competition then...

Considering NHL 14 has not been announced for next-gen, I'd be highly cautious here.

Every additional soccer ball variant and team kit will be $1 to offer consumers choices.
Yup.

For anyone holding out hope for a Wii U / Vita version, note that neither format received the January transfer-window update. FIFA 14 is almost certainly not happening, and I'd imagine that the best case scenario is that EA put out an updated '13 (which is an updated '12) with squad-parity to the other versions come September / October.
I do think it flags a real problem with sports licensing - to my mind, if the license holder isn't interested in supporting a particular format properly, another publisher should be granted the opportunity to make use of it for that purpose. It would certainly make for a much healthier situation.

Wilshere on the cover, right? Right.
FIFA is the leading EA sports game though. It does it first then the rest of the games usually follow the next year.

I would expect that for two or three years, unless sales are immediately and consistently stellar. Relatively speaking, it's not an absolute quantum leap of a generation and I doubt it would make financial sense to go all-out while there's a thriving online eco-system on PS3 / 360. Expect the high end PC version with a few extra visual tassels.

I personally thought that 13 was a very nice step up from 12. I don't expect 14 to be quite as big (first touch really changed how I played, personally) but I'm hopeful. FIFA, NHL and NBA 2k all took gigantic strides this gen. Somehow madden, NCAA and MLB 2k all got worse. MLB the Show stayed the same. NBA live RIP.

Really? I've had no problems at all with it. FIFA 13 on PC felt perfect.

if they announce platforms tomorrow and no Wii U then OMG!
wouldn't the PC version automatically indicate next-gen versions?

No? The PC version only got the current gen engine two or three years ago.
It's bugged to hell and back. In Pro Clubs at least.

I only ever play boring ass vs.
The Dreamcast says hello. No Fifa & no Madden worked out great.
Just like all the others Sega home consoles that came out after that.
Yup. I'm ready for next gen FIFA!
I see what you are trying to do here dc. But would you mind not bucking the trend? wait until someone posts this news and repost this thread 4-5 hours later
Cant wait!
If this leads to Nintendo making their own sports series, I'm fine EA not putting Madden/Fifa on a Nintendo platform.
For the forseeable future Messi will be the coverstar.
That is the Camp Nou in the background. So hey EA, please put it back in. Thanks.
That's what they should of being doing even though a NFL game isnt possible due to the licence but still I wish Nintendo were more proactive like Sega were.
I guess if Fifa 14 isnt announced for the Wii U that's the official confirmation that EA are dreamcasting the machine. That would be no Madden, no Tiger Woods and No Fifa.
This will also confirm that they where pushing their Origin crap into the WiiU online infrastructure, and Nintendo wisely said no. An of course, being the sh*tty company EA is, that would be the retaliation.

yep and why i have not bought a FIFA game since FIFA 10. May have got FIFA 11 actually!
EA need to put more focus into tactical formations and players positioning on the field. Stop allowing teams to counter attack so damn easily.
Something tells me thats not the reason.

EA, do not pull another Madden '06 again. Ever.
I felt the skill games did a good job of teaching the basics last year
Yeah the skill games not only force you to use all skills but they also force you to learn some of the intricacies of the game that are easy to miss. They also force you to learn how to use manual. Shiiiiit, I wish they would force dudes to go through each skill game before going online in pro ranked.
yeah i'll believe that when i see it

Hopefully they spend longer than a week developing it.
