A few days ago, I switched on my PS4 to play some FIFA 14 and I was notified that an update for was available so I went ahead and downloaded the update. Waited a while until it installed and SURPRISE SURPRISE!!! The World Cup has been added to the game for FREE!
Seems like EA has really nailed it with this update! Bringing in one of the most popular features… The World Cup Ultimate Team,, allowing players to build new teams based off of any player in the 32 nations which qualified for the cup – and lead them to glory in the most prestigious competition of them all.
The chemistry of the teams in the World Cup are based on their governing football body and nation, as opposed to individual leagues. As a bonus, each World Cup card pack will feature a Gold Pack for the regular Ultimate Team mode.
The Estadio do Marcana from Brazil, which is the stadium that will host the World Cup Final this year has been added to the update as well. The official World Cup 2014 matchball will also become available for World Cup matches. This update however doesn’t bring unqualified countries into contention, so if you’re a die hard South African fan looking to bring the country to glory, you would still have to buy the official FIFA World Cup 2014 game, which includes all 203 countries which take part in the cup.
Last but not least, if you just want to chill with a few mates and not play anything serious online, EA Sports also included a regular World Cup Kickoff Mode, so that players could enjoy the atmosphere of Brazil with the regular World Cup teams. This update is completely free, and comes in at just over 500MB.
Here’s a video to get your mouth watering:
