FIFA 14 FAQ/Walkthrough

Introduction

^s1 | FIFA 14

FIFA 14 is a game that forms part of the long-running series of EA's FIFA games. Its release coincided with the 2013-14 football season. It is also the first next-gen FIFA (coming out on XBox One and PS4).

Football...It hurts and humbles.

For every winner a loser; for every triumph, a defeat.

But on the horizon awaits... a new season, a new opportunity; for redemption, for glory, for immortality. The brave will take to the pitch as warriors to battle; shoulder-to-shoulder, face-to-face. The hunger, the determination to push limits, to fight, to run, to tackle, defend, attack, score, and celebrate.

As the new season dawns, new stars will rise, new teams will captivate, new stadiums will rock, new challenges will emerge, new battles will be fought, in the name of glory, in the name of honour, in the name of football, the game we love, the game we live for, every challenge, every cheer, every minute, every second, the best game, our game!

We are FIFA 14. The new season awaits.

What you are reading is a guide for the game. Use the links in the contents to navigate to the parts that you want to read. If you liked this guide please use the button at the top to recommend to others, and please let me know too (TheMightyRoast [at] gmail [dot] com).

This guide assumes that you already know the basic rules of football/soccer, so does not explain them.

If you want to try out the game before buying then there is a downloadable demo available.

Pictures in this guide come from EA's website and Twitter feed.

This guide is hosted on GameFAQs, Neoseeker and my friend's games website at http://selmiak.bplaced.net/games/xbox360/index.php?lang=eng&game=FIFA-14 It will be updated most regularly on my friend's website with FUT featured tournaments as they become available.

This is version 1.2 of the guide with updates to this version mainly being the addition of details about single player league fixtures and rewards in Ultimate Team, plus updates to new Catalogue items that have become available.

Autosave

This title uses an autosave feature. It will automatically save your progress through the game, and any Settings changes you make Autosave will overwrite content without confirmation. Please do not turn off your XBox 360 console while the autosave icon is displayed.

Note: Some modes require online connection (e.g. challenges, ultimate team, and seasons). Servers will not be open forever. The FIFA 11 servers closed in Jan 2013. This means that the FIFA 14 servers could close in Jan 2016. Once servers are closed the sections requiring online connectivity will not be playable. The good news though is that by then a new FIFA will be out for you to play.

Controls

The game doesn't come with a physical manual. This is because EA wanted to reduce their carbon footprint. Instead there is a digital-only manual which can be obtained from off of the EA website. At the time of writing the manual was available at https://help.ea.com/uk/tag/manuals

I have listed all the controls from the manual here, including for skill moves, for the XBox 360 version of the game. I have added in other controls that I noticed were missing (e.g. user controlled celebrations).

Note: The control instructions below refer to the Classic controller configuration. Go to Customise>Settings>Controls to set up your preferences. Select one of the three controller configurations to use and turn the various Assistance options On if you want to learn at your own pace:

Assistance for new players

You don't have to be a pro to make impressive moves when you're out on the pitch. If you're new to FIFA 14, go to Controls under the Settings option to turn on Assistance for specific moves. This makes passes and saves easier, without the need for perfect timing or positioning. When you're ready for more of a challenge, choose SEMI for less assistance or MANUAL to earn every one of your goals without aid.

Jockeying

To be successful defending the dribble, you will need to put yourself in a good position to tackle. Hold LT to face the dribble, and to control your speed.

Running Jockey

When the dribbler is moving too fast to keep up while jockeying, hold both LT and RT to jockey the dribbler at higher speeds.

Contain

Hold A to Contain the dribble. While containing your player will automatically jockey the dribbler a few yards away. You can change the distance that you jockey the dribbler by moving LS towards or away from the dribbler.

Teammate Contain

Holding RB calls a teammate to pressure the dribbler. If held while the player you are controlling is containing him, your teammate will double the dribbler.

Push Pull

To give your opponent a small tug when chasing him, or a shoulder challenge when beside him, press B. You can use this to slow the dribbler to catch up, or try to make him take a bad touch. If you are too aggressive, however, the referee may call a foul.

Coaching Tip: Penalties

Aiming: By default, you start aiming at the middle of the goal. From the moment you start powering up for a shot, you can move LS to aim anywhere inside the goal. The longer you hold LS in any particular direction, the farther your shot goes in that direction. Be careful with how long you hold LS, as letting go too soon results in a shot closer to the middle of the goal, and holding it for too long causes you to miss the goal.

Saving: Committing to a save direction early allows you to reach farther and save shots close to the corner of the goals. However, diving farther to the side makes it more difficult to save shots aimed toward the middle of the goal.

If you think the kick taker is going for placement rather than power, you can try to react to the shot by holding RS in any direction after the ball has been kicked.

Skill Moves

Skill Moves

Skills moves can be performed by all players. The type of skill your player can execute depends on his skill level. A player with the highest skill level can perform the most difficult and effective skills in the game, whereas a player with a lower skill level will attempt a simpler version of a trick or may altogether fail in his attempt of that skill. The speed at which a skill move is executed depends on your player's agility attribute. For example, an agile player like Cristiano Ronaldo can perform skills at a much quicker pace than a player with lower agility.

All of the skills are broken down into five levels of difficulty. One-star moves are the most basic and can be performed by all players in the game. Two-, three-, and four-star moves can be done by players who are relatively skilful in real life. Five-star moves can only be performed by the most skilled footballers such as Cristiano Ronaldo (go to the 5-star skillers section for a full list).

Note: The controls listed below assume that the controlled player is moving vertically upwards and should be amended depending on your player's direction.

Be a Pro

Be a Pro Player Controls

If you're going to play as a pro, you've got to think like one. When your team is on the attack, time your runs and call for the ball at the right time. When defending, ensure you cover any dangers posed by your opponents. Teamwork is everything in football, and communication with your teammates is the key to success. Wherever you are on the field, make sure you use the following controls to increase your chances of victory.

Be a Pro Player Controls
Call for pass/Cross A
Call for or suggest through ball Y
Suggest shot B

Be a Pro Goalkeeper Controls

Goalkeeper is one of the most important positions on the pitch. In Be A Pro Goalkeeper, you take control of the goalie and must keep your team's net secure! Maintain good positioning in front of the net, make saving shots, cut off crosses, and distribute the ball to your teammates after saves. Stay alert! You cannot afford to fail.

NOTE: There are two camera modes in Be A Pro Goalkeeper. One allows you to follow the ball as the action takes place on the pitch. The other allows you to focus on the goalkeeper and prepare for oncoming attacks. Press Back button to switch between them in order to maintain appropriate positioning on the pitch.

Leagues, teams, players and stadiums listings and ratings

Leagues and teams

There are over 600 teams in FIFA 14. These are listed below in alphabetical order by league.

Each team also has a star rating, plus transfer budgets and weekly wages for career mode. These were as at October 2013. Please note the star ratings may change if you download the latest squad updates.

The best teams in each league are bolded. To determine the best team the star rating is looked at first, then where two or more teams have the same star rating the team with the highest transfer budget is deemed to be the best. In the event of teams still being equal on these two measures then the team with the highest weekly wage is highlighted as the best.

The Argentinean, Chilean and Columbian leagues are new to FIFA 14. The rumour is that these South American leagues have been added in preparation for the Copa Libertadores coming to FIFA 15.

Players

There are 16,000+ players in the game. That is a lot of players. I have listed the Top 50 players, the Top 20 goalkeepers, the Top 20 strongest players, the Top 20 free kick takers and all the 5-star skillers in this section. I have also added the Legends which have been added exclusively to XBox upon the release of the XBox One.

These lists don't include any legends, with the legends coming to the game only when the XBox One is released.

Top 50 players

EA published a list of the top 50 players in the game as at its release (with the link at http://www.easports.com/fifa/news-updates-gameplay/article/fifa-14-top-50 ). These players may have subsequently moved team and EA may have uploaded changes to reflect that. Similarly EA may have amended the ratings of players too, based on real-life performance. This list excludes Legends who are in a different section.

Here are the top 50 players in the game:

The following game modes are detailed below:

Kick Off/Highlights of the Week/Players in form/Teams in form

From the manual:

KICK OFF

Select KICK OFF in the Play screen to get straight onto the pitch and take on any club or national team in the game. The latest squads and form updates require a connection to the EA Servers.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK

View real-world upcoming Games of the Week and choose a match to play in it. The higher the skill level you choose, the more XP you earn. Challenges based on recent matches give you the opportunity to rewrite history. You must be signed in to your Xbox Live account and EA Servers to play these matches.

PLAYERS IN FORM

See the latest real world player form updates.

TEAMS IN FORM

View updated real-world team ratings.

Kick off is the place to go for a one-off, non-online match (including offline multiplayer). As default EA SPORTS Match Day is turned on (as long as you are connected to the servers). This means the players will reflect their current form as in real life. Also it means teams will have to cope without injured, suspended players, and those away on international duty. These can be viewed by scrolling along on the team stats/international duty/injured/suspended/top 5 scorers option. The league table positions, facts, and figures drive the commentary that you hear.

To turn EA SPORTS Match Day off during the picking of the teams press Y.

To see the players and teams in form go to the players in form and teams in form sections and browse. This may help you choose which team you want to play as in Kick Off. You'll also see these appear when you first select Highlights of the week after an update.

The Highlights of the Week section contains six different matches to choose from, and varies week on week. Four of the games will be games of the week, reflecting real life important games. You get 100-300XP for winning these as per the table below.

Difficulty XP
Amateur 100
Semi-Pro 150
Professional 200
World Class 250
Legendary 300

Two of the Highlights of the Week will be challenges.

^s20|Example of a challenge

Challenges are where you have to perform a task based on a real-game scenario. For example you may be placed in the dying minutes of a match and you have to score enough goals to win the game. Other times you may play as one player, e.g. like in Be-a-Pro mode, and be tasked with scoring as many goals as that player did in the corresponding real-life match.

You can play your challenge on one of five difficulties (Amateur, Semi-Pro, Professional, World Class and Legendary), each of which give you a different amount of XP. The amounts of XP are listed once you select the difficulty level after you have chose to play the challenge. Obviously for turning around a game in the dying minutes it is very hard on the higher difficulties so choose a difficulty that is challenging for you, yet doable, to allow for maximum XP gain. Also you should be aware of how much time the challenge will be around for (the hours remaining on the current challenge will be shown), as you may have to get them done quickly.

You only get XP once per challenge so if you feel you can complete the challenge at a higher difficulty level then go for it, plus one achievement is tied to completing a challenge on World Class. An example of a challenge that would be good to do on World Class is one that requires you to score just one goal, e.g. Southampton in real-life drew with Manchester United at Old Trafford on 19 October 2013 scoring an equaliser late in the game. The corresponding challenge in FIFA 14 started on 88 minutes and you controlled Southampton needing to score one goal to equalise, without any goal then being conceded, to complete the challenge. You started with a corner so this was an easy challenge to complete on World Class or Legendary as you could keep restarting until you scored from that corner.

Other tips for challenges are to use the D-Pad to set your team's mentality to ultra attacking from the off, and to possibly change your team's formation to a more attacking formation, also as soon as you begin. And on Amateur you can pretty much run through the defence to get 1-on-1 opportunities to score.

XP earned from challenges is over and above the 2,000 daily cap. It is the quickest way to boost your overall XP. XP affects your level which affects the items you can purchase in the EAS FC Catalogue.

Ultimate Team

See the video for details on the new features in FIFA 14 Ultimate Team.

@r| aGzQVUhjd1g

Also from the manual:

FIFA Ultimate Team

Create your own Ultimate Team, fine-tune it to perfect Team Chemistry, and try to reach the top of the FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) leaderboards. Choose players to build Squads with high Chemistry, buy or sell items on the 24/7 live Transfer Market, and play in a variety of both single player and online game modes.

Getting started

When you first start Ultimate Team, you'll learn how to swap and link players to improve Team Chemistry before playing a starter match. From there, you can start your own Squad and explore the Transfer Market, Pack Store, and your Club.

Chemistry

Chemistry is at the core of what makes your Ultimate Team successful. Having a team of star players can help you shine on the pitch, but your Squad must also have the right Chemistry to allow you to maximize its performance. The higher your Chemistry, the better your team performs during matches-and that means a better chance at winning games.

Your team's Chemistry Rating appears in the upper right corner when viewing your Active Squad. Placing players in their preferred positions can improve Chemistry. You should also encourage Nationality, League, and Club Chemistry by linking players so the connections between them are green-indicating a strong link.

Swap your players around on the Active Squad screen and add new ones from your Club or the Transfer Market to find the ideal balance for your team!

Chemistry Styles

Every player in Ultimate Team has a Chemistry Style. This affects which attributes will be improved based on the player's Chemistry Rating. Arrows appear beside the attributes that a specific Chemistry Style affects, and as you start building up Chemistry, they will turn from white to green.

To get the most out of your Squad, you can apply new Styles to them to change their attributes and, in turn, the team's overall tactics. The effects remain on a player until a new Style is applied. You can find these Styles in Packs and on the Transfer Market.

Contracts

Before players can excel out on the pitch, they need contracts to play matches. When viewing your Active Squad, highlight a player and press X to access the Actions menu, and then select APPLY CONSUMABLE to apply a Contract to a player. Move RS to switch to the status view, which shows the amount of remaining contracts for every player.

To give you a head start, the Players from your Starter Pack will come with a special long-term Contract (45 matches). All Players found in Packs start with seven Contracts, and each match they play reduces the number of Contracts by one. If a player is in your subs or reserves but doesn't head onto the pitch at all, he does not lose a Contract for that match.

Matches, tournaments and seasons

Challenge your team and reap the rewards in Matches, Tournaments, and Seasons.

Tournament matches are always single-round knockout matches, and can be played online or as single player games. Win matches to earn Coins, or take your team to the top and win a Tournament to gain Trophies, Coins, and sometimes even Packs.

Seasons consist of 10 games, playable Online or in Single Player mode. Try to make it through and win the Season or gain promotion! In this mode, the promotion, hold, and relegation system means that losing a match doesn't eliminate your team from the season, giving you the opportunity to bounce back from defeats.

Transfer market

The Transfer Market is the hub for purchasing, listing, and selling items. Here, you can find new Players to increase your Squad's overall rating and Chemistry Rating. If you're looking for a new Player, use the search filters such as Quality, Position, Chemistry Style, and Pricing to quickly find the ideal footballer to complement your Active Squad.

Search by name

If you want to search for a specific Player to fill out your Squad, use the first option in Player Search to type in his first or last name. This lets you easily select the Player you want based on the search results that appear.

Search from squad

For the first time in the Transfer Market, you can search for a Player directly from your Active Squad, compare him to other Players, and submit a Transfer Bid for him if desired. Simply highlight the Player on your Active Squad screen, press X to bring up the Actions menu, select SWAP PLAYER and then SEARCH TRANSFER MARKET.

Pack store

Purchase Packs from the store to find new Players for your Squad. You'll also sometimes earn Packs from winning Tournaments or as a special reward at the end of a Season.

My club

As you gain new players through the Transfer Market and from Packs you have purchased or won, you will have more than enough Players for one Squad. My Club contains all of the players not in your current Squad, as well as your Consumables and other Items.

Leaderboards

Check out the leaderboards to compare yourself to your friends or the top 100 FUT users across the globe as you build your Ultimate Team, play Tournaments and Seasons, and grow your Club.

The first time you enter Ultimate Team you are given your starter pack of cards so that you can build your own ultimate team. Your starter pack team is made up of 22 players, a manager, a ball, a stadium, a home and an away kit. These cards will mostly be bronze with the odd gold and silver card dropped in for good measure. All these cards will be untradeable, so can't be placed on the transfer list, and if you discard them you will get 0 coins. The players and manager will also start with 45 contracts, so you'll be able to use this team for quite a while.

If you have played FUT before (like in FIFA 13) then you will also get up to 4 loyalty all players packs:

All players pack

Welcome back to FIFA Ultimate Team! This pack includes 12 players, 4 each of Bronze, Silver, and Gold, with a t least 1 Rare.

You may also have received a code with your FIFA 14 game depending on whether you have the Ultimate edition, or if you pre-ordered, for more packs.

If you played the XBox 360 or PS3 version then the XBox One or PS4 versions of the game your players and coins will cross over (see Next-gen carryover for more details.)

Once you are set up when you click into Ultimate Team you will see there are six tabs under which are the various Ultimate Team (or FUT, where F stands for FIFA) options:

The FUT Central tab is like a title page. It shows a couple of highlighted ultimate team items, one of which will be the last thing you did (such as a tournament) and the other being a news item (e.g. TOTW, a happy hour) and the FUT leaderboards.

Clicking on the highlighted ultimate team items will take you into them. Clicking on the leaderboards will take you to the leaderboards. (For more on Leaderboards see the My Club section.)

The other five sections contain the meat of FUT.

Please read all the sections to get the maximum amount of help with Ultimate Team.

Play

In Play you can play a:

  • Single player season
  • Online season
  • Single player tournament
  • Single player season
  • Online tournament
  • TOTW challenge
  • Online single match
  • Friend online

But before you can play you need a squad. To get a good squad together read the tips in the Squads section.

A single player season sees you play a season similar to Seasons mode. You start in division 10 and hopefully earn titles as you make your way to division 1. Each season has 10 games and your progress will be shown in the current season box with the points required for promotion and for the title shown, as well as the points you need to get above to avoid relegation to the division below.

Also shown is your season history which shows your all-time single player season record (W-D-L) and your titles won. Also selectable is the option to see your fixture list and the teams you will be playing. This will also show the rating of each team (out of 5 stars) and the difficulty level of each match (amateur through to ultimate).

By clicking on the current season box you get to see, in addition to the stuff on the screen before, how many matches remain of your season, your current form (last five games), your rewards for the division and your last three results with opponent and score across the bottom.

By clicking on the season history box you get to see some more stats. You get to see your:

  • Seasons completed
  • All-time record (W-D-L)
  • Titles won
  • Best season finish
  • Pass accuracy (average)
  • Possession (average)
  • Goal difference
  • Total goals scored
  • Average per match
  • Total goals conceded
  • Average per match

Lastly on the main page of single player season you see below that if you press X you can forfeit a season.

Forfeiting will result in losing all progress made in the current season, after which you will be able to start a new season in your current division. Are you sure you want to forfeit the season?

So not recommended although you could avoid a relegation by using it.

At each divisional level there are four different 10-game leagues you can play. By clicking on them you can see the fixtures to see what teams you'd be pitted against and the difficulty level that the matches would be played at. You'll also get to see your rewards for winning, including any free packs. All the single player divisions are listed below. It is recommended that you try for the one with the most reward each time, particularly if you have assembled a good squad and if the points required for the title are low (as they are in the lower divisions). Also these are the leagues without restrictions on your entry requirements so will be easier to create a squad for. Can you reach the ultimate goal of Division 1?

Online season is similar to single player season except you play online opponents and there is only one league at each level to choose from. The fixture list feature of single player season is removed because opponents are dependent on who is online when you choose to play a match. Instead it is replaced with a leaderboards section so you can see how your friends are doing in their ultimate team seasons and how you compare to them.

Division 1 23 points/15,000 coins N/A 14 points/10,500 coins 14 points/4,500 coins

Clicking on the leaderboards section gives you the option to look at your season points, titles won and seasons completed and compare to your friends or the top 100 looking at either the all-time record, the weekly record or the monthly record.

Also of note is that online seasons require fewer points for promotion, and the rewards are higher.

A single player tournament is where you play in a 16-team knock-out tournament against computer-controlled teams. It is a knock-out cup with drawn games going to extra time and penalties. The team that wins goes through to the next round whilst the team that loses gets knocked out. If you win through all four rounds you win. The reward, the difficulty level and the restrictions for entry are available on the main screen. The little icons at the side of the trophy silhouette show the amount of coins you get for winning, any cards you get for winning, and any packs you get from winning. When you do win the tournament the trophy silhouette gets filled in. You also get a trophy entered into the trophy cabinet which you can see in the My Club section of My Club.

^s21|An example of a featured tournament

Some tournaments are featured tournaments. These are only around for a limited period so you have to make sure you win them quickly before they disappear (the closing date is now shown) if you want to maximise your trophy cabinet, otherwise:

Entry to the following tournament is closed. Featured tournaments will expire after a set time, winning them quickly is key to building your club's trophy cabinet.

Featured tournaments will always be at the far left as you cycle through the tournaments available.

I will update this list of featured tournaments most regularly, as and when featured tournaments become available, on my friend's games website at http://selmiak.bplaced.net/games/xbox360/index.php?lang=eng&game=FIFA-14&page=Game-Modes--Ultimate-Team#1

The online tournament is similar although you play online opponents and the rewards are greater, plus the same featured tournaments may not appear in both. (In FIFA 13 this was the case).

Did you know...

Tournaments: It's not just about winning, it's about how you play the game. The Team of the Tournament award goes to the best performance in the final match of a tournament, not necessarily the winner.

The TOTW challenge (Team of the Week) pits you against the TOTW, as determined by EA. The TOTW comes out at 6pm UK time every Wednesday, although this will stop when FIFA 15 comes out. The TOTW is made up of in-form cards that are rare cards that are only found in packs during that week. For more on in-form cards see the Squads section.

The bonuses on offer for beating that week's TOTW are as below:

Difficulty Reward for win
Amateur 150
Semi-Pro 250
Professional 400
World Class 600
Legendary 750
Ultimate 1,000

You can get this bonus once a week, and only for the active TOTW. This is on top of the coins you would normally earn from a match. Note that Ultimate difficulty is a difficulty level only available in Ultimate Team whilst other modes have Legendary as their highest difficulty. This may explain why the Legendary and Ultimate difficulties don't feel much different.

Choosing to play a online single match lets you play an online match against someone else's FIFA Ultimate Team and is a feature that wasn't in FIFA 13. You'll get to see their star rating and chemistry up front too so if you don't like what you see you can back out.

Choosing to play a friend online is similar where instead of meeting a random player online you can invite your friend and play against their Ultimate Team.

Earning coins by playing matches

You get two sets of coin bonuses upon completing a match, a completion award (325 coins for an offline game) and skill awards. Skill awards are coin bonuses for achieving certain things in the game, such as scoring goals. To maximise your coins earned through skill awards use the table below. There is also a multiplier applied to this which is based on the quality difference between your team and the other team, and the difficulty level, so you could fill your bench with low-ranked bronze players which brings your overall team star rating down and your multiplier up. For online matches a further DNF modifier is applied where DNF stands for Did Not Finish. This stays at the maximum 1.25 if you don't quit online matches, and if you do quit matches it goes down, although it will rise again if you don't quit matches after it.

Skill award Coins per unit Upper limit Minimum units needed for upper limit
Goals 40 200 5
Shots on target 5 75 15
Successful tackles 1 25 25
Corners 5 50 10

Ultimate Team general tips

  • Rotate your players to either the bench or the reserves to keep their fitness up. (When you play a match all the unused players on the subs bench and in the reserves, but not out of the active squad, will have their fitness improved.) Doing this will save you using coins for fitness cards, and also your players are less likely to get injured if their fitness is high.
  • Similarly keep injured players or suspended players in the reserves section of the active squad so that they can recover or serve their suspension. Doing this will save you using coins for healing cards.
  • Don't substitute players unless necessary because a substitute will use up 1 contract when they come onto the pitch, even though they have only played part of a match. By not doing substitutions you use a total of 11 contract across your players, whereas with subs you could lose 14 contract across your players.
  • If you have a player you want to play who has low chemistry in your normal team you could sub him on early in a match where he will inherit 1/11th of the starting team chemistry rather than having his normal chemistry. (Not recommended though as per the bullet above.)
  • Don't quit online matches. It loses your players contracts, loses your end-of-game coins, gives you a loss and reduces your DNF-modifier which gives you fewer coins for future online matches.
  • You can quit offline matches if you are losing without losing your place in the league/cup. The players involved though will still lose 1 contract for the abandoned game and your DNF-modifier will also go down, although this only impacts you for online matches.
  • Win cups and play FUT seasons for lots of bonus coins, cards and packs.
  • Keep your chemistry high as the players play better.
  • Make sure to purchase the Ultimate Team items from the EAS FC Catalogue.

Squads

Choosing the Squads tab will give you these options to select:

  • Active squad
  • Squad selector
  • Manager tasks

Your Active Squad shows you the squad of players you have at that time. Your Active Squad will be made up of 11 starting player cards, 7 subs and 5 reserves. There will also be a manager. If a slot is vacant, i.e. no player fills that position, then it will be black. If a starting player or sub slot is vacant you can't play a match until it is filled.

There are several types of cards available in ultimate team. The main cards are player cards, of which there are several types too.

Cards can be gold, silver or bronze. Cards can be bought either from the Store or through Transfers.

Gold cards are players who are overall rated 75-99, silver cards are players who are rated 65-74, and bronze cards are players overall rated 64 or below.

There are also rare cards that are bronze, silver or gold but have white writing instead of black, have an enhanced bronze, silver or gold colour, and come on a fancier shield shape than normal cards with fancy pointy bits at the top. These cards are rarer but not the rarest cards in the game. No, the rarest are in-form cards.

In-forms come from the Team of the Week (TOTW). Every week EA picks a squad of players out who have performed well in their leagues and places them in packs for that week only. They have black backgrounds, and the players' stats are higher than their normal cards. The first TOTW for FIFA 14 came out on the 18th September and they will continue to come out weekly until FIFA 15.

MOTM (Man of the Match) cards are also available. These are another type of in-form. They come out when a player has performed well in an important cup game, and are normally available through packs for just 24 hours, as opposed to the week that normal TOTW cards are available for. MOTM cards have orange backgrounds. Again the player's stats are upped against their normal card.

Lastly there are TOTS (Team of the Season) cards. These have blue backgrounds with yellow trim and come out at the end of the season based on players' performances through the season. The players' stats are upped against their normal card. TOTY (Team of the Year) cards are similar (blue backgrounds, but without the yellow) and come out at the end of the calendar year (i.e. 2013) based on the FIFPro list of best players.

To find out when all these special cards become available in packs be sure to follow @EASPORTSFIFA on Twitter.

^s6|Legends (more have been added since)

Also when the XBox One version of FIFA 14 is released player legends will be introduced to the game. These are player cards of retired players, but with stats and appearances that place them in their prime. Legends include the likes of Pele, Marco van Basten and David Seaman (see Legends section above). These are exclusive to the XBox.

Looking at a player card you have four basic views:

  • Summary
  • Player Info
  • Status
  • Chemistry Style

The Summary tab shows the players main attributes (which can go up to a max of 99). For outfield players these are:

  • PAC: Pace
  • SHO: Shooting
  • PAS: Passing
  • DRI: Dribbling
  • DEF: Defending
  • HEA: Heading

For goalkeepers these are:

  • DIV: Diving
  • HAN: Handling
  • KIC: Kicking
  • REF: Reflexes
  • SPD: Speed
  • POS: Positioning

The Player Info can be used to improve chemistry links. By viewing it you can see whether the player has a loyalty bonus or not, whether he has a manager bonus or not, what his nationality is, his league and his club. (More on chemistry below).

The Status view shows the number of remaining contracts the player has, their fitness (out to 99), and their chemistry rating (out of 10). Players from packs start with 99 fitness and this goes down through matches played. Players from packs start with 7 contracts, which will allow them to take part in 7 matches. The exception is your starter pack players who have 45 contract. These totals can be topped up with contract cards. Fitness can be topped up too through cards, or by benching the player.

The Chemistry Style view shows the chemistry style you have applied to that player, and the attributes that can be affected by chemistry (these are the same as those on the summary view). All players start with Basic chemistry style which doesn't affect any of their attributes.

You can also view the Bio of a card by clicking RS on it. This will show you, in addition to the above, the player's bio (first name, last name, known as (if that player has a nickname), date of birth, height, player workrate (attacking/defensive), preferred foot, weak foot star rating (out of 5), skill moves star rating (out of 5)) and some item details (date card was issued, the amount you bought the card for or if you were the first owner of the card, number of owners, games played (split by your club and previous clubs, just like all the following), goals scored, assists, yellow cards and red cards).

Chemistry

To get your players playing well together you need to maximise their chemistry. This is done in many ways. First play players in the correct position. You'll know they're in the correct position because the spot below the card will be green. You can get a partial chemistry bonus by playing the player in a similar position, e.g. a CM in a RM position. By playing a player completely out of position, e.g. a forward in a defence spot, you don't get chemistry and the spot will be red.

This may mean you need to experiment with formations to fit your players best.

Available formations in FUT are:

  • 3-4-1-2
  • 3-4-2-1
  • 3-4-3
  • 3-5-2
  • 4-1-2-1-2 - the two wide midfielders are a LM and a RM
  • 4-1-2-1-2 (2) - the two wide midfielders are CMs, so more central
  • 4-1-4-1
  • 4-2-2-2
  • 4-2-3-1 - the two wide men here are CAMs
  • 4-2-3-1 (2) - the two wide men here are a LM and a RM
  • 4-3-1-2
  • 4-3-2-1
  • 4-3-3 - all three midfielders are CMs
  • 4-3-3 (2) - the middle midfielder is a CDM
  • 4-3-3 (3) - the two wider midfielders are CDMs
  • 4-3-3 (4) - the middle midfielder is a CAM
  • 4-3-3 (5) - the middle midfielder is a CDM and the middle front player is a CF rather than a ST, so sits back a little (like a false 9 formation as made popular by the likes of Spain)
  • 4-4-1-1
  • 4-4-2 - this formation has two CMs in the middle
  • 4-4-2 (2) - this formation has two CDMs in the middle
  • 4-5-1 - this formation has two CAMs and one CM in the middle
  • 4-5-1 (2) - this formation has three CMs in the middle
  • 5-2-1-2
  • 5-2-2-1
  • 5-3-2

^s7|Loyalty bonus

Then you can get improved chemistry by building links (players linked are joined by lines) between the players by matching their club, nationality or league. Again changing formation may help here. Green lines give you the maximum chemistry bonus, orange lines give you a partial bonus, and red lines don't add chemistry.

Then you can get +1 chemistry for the player through a loyalty bonus. Players found in packs are automatically loyal. Players found in the transfer market will earn loyalty after playing 10 matches.

^s8|Manager bonus

You can also improve chemistry by +1 manager bonus. Players who share the same nationality or league with the manager get bonus chemistry. Manager league items (this is a consumable item, for more on consumable items refer to the My Club section) can be applied to managers to change their assigned league.

The aim is to get Chemistry to be 100 or near to it. This makes your players play better as they control the ball better, do better runs and so on, so it is worth getting this as high as you can.

Related to this, and new to FIFA 14, is Chemistry Styles. Chemistry Styles improve your Player's specific attributes (and not just for one game like the training card consumables do).

Chemistry Styles

  • Chemistry Styles are linked to your Player's Chemistry Rating.
  • The higher your Player's Chemistry, the more effective Chemistry Styles will be.
  • All players start with the Basic Chemistry Style. You can change from one Style to another using the Chemistry Style Consumable.
  • High Chemistry makes your Players play better. Chemistry Styles show you which Player attributes improve with high Chemistry.
  • As your Player reaches maximum Chemistry the arrows will change from white to green. This means that they're receiving more benefits from the current Chemistry Style.
  • The more Green Arrows you see next to an attribute, the more your Player's skill improves.
  • One green arrow - minor improvement, two green arrows - medium improvement, three green arrows - maximum improvement.
  • Each Chemistry Style affects different Player Attributes. Change Chemistry Styles to change how your Squad plays.
  • Change match tactics by changing your Player's Chemistry Style.

The basic chemistry style cards can be identified by a silhouette of a footballer standing holding the ball by his side. The attacking chemistry style cards can be identified by the silhouette of a player shooting the ball. The midfield chemistry style cards can be identified by the silhouette of a player dribbling the ball. The defending chemistry style cards can be identified by the silhouette of a player sliding for the ball. The special chemistry style cards can be identified by the silhouette of a player flicking the ball with his heel. The goalkeeping chemistry style cards can be identified by the silhouette of a goalkeeper diving for the ball.

For the Squad Selector option you can have several different squads set up so that you can quickly change between teams, without having to change all the players individually. There are 15 slots available for squads, but you can purchase FUT extra squad slots for FCC from the EAS FC Catalogue (available at levels 5, 12, 25, 29, 40, 49, 59, 63, 70 and 90).

Within this option you can use the Create Squad option to create a squad, either manually or with the aid of a squad builder which will speed things along a little. Of course these are only relevant when you have lots of available player cards to choose from in your club, and not just enough for one squad.

The last option here is Manager Tasks. There are 13 of them. These can be done in any order:

  1. Play your first match in a Tournament - Enter a Tournament and finish one match.
  2. Buy an item from the Transfer Market - Go to the Transfer Market and use the 'Buy Now' option to buy any item.
  3. List a Player in the Transfer Market - List any Player in the Transfer Market.
  4. Challenge the Team of the Week - Complete a match against any team in the Team of the Week Challenge mode.
  5. Apply a Contract Item - Apply any level Contract Item to any Player in your Club.
  6. Apply a Fitness Item - Apply any level Fitness Item to any Player in your Club.
  7. Apply a Chemistry Style Item - Apply any Chemistry Style item to any Player in your Club.
  8. Change your Club Kit - Change your Club's Home or Away kit.
  9. Change your Club Ball - Change your Club's Ball.
  10. Change your Club Crest - Change your Club's Crest.
  11. Change your Club Stadium - Change your Club's Stadium.
  12. Change Club Name - Change your Club's Name.
  13. Play one Seasons match - Complete a match in Online Season or Single Player Season.

Upon completing all 13 of these you will unlock a free gold pack and an achievement.

Store

The Store is where you use your hard-earned coins (or not if you purchase FIFA Points, which is where you use real money to purchase in game coins, and is not something I recommend) to buy packs. The options here are:

  • Browse Packs
  • FIFA Points
  • Gold Packs
  • A news item

The Gold Packs option is accessible via the Browse Packs option too. The FIFA Points option is also accessible there too. FIFA Points are a way to buy FIFA Ultimate Team coins using real money (100 FIFA Points = 79 pence in British currency, with a 20% discount if you are a season ticket subscriber). This is for people who want to build a good team quickly. For cheapskates like me we prefer to build our teams slowly using in game coins.

Of course buying packs is only one of the ways of getting cards. The other way is to search the transfer list which in general proves to be more economical.

There are several packs available to buy in the Browse Packs section:

Bronze packs

There are two bronze packs normally. These are the innovatively named Bronze Pack and the Premium Bronze Pack.

Bronze Pack

Great value for increasing club depth and building better chemistry. Includes 12 items, mostly Bronze, and 1 rare.

400 coins

Premium Bronze Pack

For those looking for the highest quality Bronze items, this is the clear choice. Includes 12 Items, mostly Bronze and 3 rare.

750 coins

Silver Packs

Similarly there are two sets of Silver packs:

Silver Pack

The best value for maintaining and building squads for mid-tiered events. Includes 12 items, mostly Silver, and 1 rare.

2,500 coins or 50 FIFA Points

Premium Silver Pack

For those looking for the highest quality Silver items, this is the clear choice. Includes 12 Items, mostly Silver and 3 rare.

3,750 coins or 75 FIFA Points

Gold Packs

This is where the best players can be picked up.

Gold Pack

The best pack to find the best players for building your number one squad. Includes 12 items, mostly Gold, and 1 rare.

5,000 coins or 100 FIFA Points

Premium Gold Pack

The best pack for finding those elite players to fill out your best squad. Includes 12 Items, mostly Gold and 3 rare.

7,500 coins or 150 FIFA Points

Special Packs

These contain different offerings to your standard packs.

Silver Upgrade

Upgrade to a Silver team! A one-time only offer with 11 Silver players and a manager.

15,000 coins or 50 FIFA Points

Gold Upgrade

Upgrade to a Gold team! A one-time only offer with 11 Gold players and a manager.

30,000 coins or 75 FIFA Points

As well as these standard packs other packs become available during happy hours.

Happy Hours

  • There is no set schedule for happy hours. They normally happen at times such as half-time of a big Champions League game, or the last hour or two of a MOTM card being available, or a TOTW changing.
  • To keep track of happy hours you should follow the official twitter feed @EASportsFIFA
  • Happy hours are times when special packs of cards are available for purchase. These are the possible packs that are offered during happy hours:
    • Premium jumbo gold packs - costs 15,000 coins and contains 24 items, 7 of which are rare. This makes it a better deal than buying two normal premium gold packs for the same price as they would net you 24 items, but only 6 rare.
    • Gold premium player packs - costs 25,000 coins and contains 12 players, mostly gold, of which 3 are rare. The value here is not good because you can open 3 gold premium packs for 22,500 and you'll probably pick up the same amount of rare players, but also lots of consumable cards too.
    • Mega packs - costs 35,000 coins and contains 30 items, mostly gold, 18 rare items. To get 18 rare items via gold premium packs would take 6 packs at a cost of 45,000 so if you wanted the rare cards and didn't care about the others as much you could go for these. (This is also the pack that I got my In-Form achievement from, when I got an in-form and a MotM card in the same pack.)
    • Jumbo rare player packs - costs 100,000 coins and contains 24 rare gold players. For 100,000 you could get 13 normal premium gold packs which would give you maybe 39 rare cards, of which maybe half would be players. So if it is rare players you are after (such as the in-forms) then this might be a good pack, although you don't get all the consumables and other cards (and it works out as a 4,167 coins per card which is a lot if you don't get an in-form).
    • Rare Player Packs - costs 50,000 coins and contains 12 gold players, all rare. Similar logic to the above so go for it if you want rare players, and don't care about consumables.
    • Packs with a 2x chance - these give you double the chance of getting TOTW players.
    • Bronze Player Premium packs - costs 1,800 coins and contains 12 players, mostly bronze with 3 rare. These packs come out at the time of the Team of the Season Silver/Bronze team being announced (assuming that happens in FIFA 14), but also at times when there are a lot of bronzes in the TOTW. Not good value as you can probably pick up 3 rare bronze players by buying 2 normal bronze premium packs for 1,500 (750 per pack).
    • Silver Player Premium packs - 8,500 coins and contains 12 players, mostly silver with 3 rare. These packs come out at the time of the Team of the Season Silver/Bronze team being announced (assuming that happens in FIFA 14), but also at times when there are a lot of silver players in the TOTW. Not good value again, as you can probably get 3 rare players from buying 2 silver premium packs at 3,750 each (so 7,500 in total) instead.

You may also have another section of the Store called My Packs. This is where you can claim any packs that you've earned but not yet opened. These might come as prizes for winning tournaments, or through free gifts that you receive by using the EA Sports web app, when these are available (details will always be announced on Twitter for these @EASPORTSFIFA, but also via the news items in game so keep a look-out).

Transfers

In the Transfers section of Ultimate Team you can buy and sell individual cards at auction, or at buy-it-now prices (even if you are XBox Live Silver). The options when coming into this section are:

  • Transfer Market
  • Search Gold Players
  • Transfer List
  • Transfer Targets
  • Search (favourite team) Players
  • Search Contracts

^s9|Transfer Market

Transfer Market is where you search for cards. You can search by card type (players, consumables, club items, staff), then subcategories underneath that, the main one being gold, silver or bronze level of the card. For the player search you can choose to filter your search by:

  • Player Name
  • Quality (bronze, silver, gold)
  • Position
  • Chemistry Style
  • Nationality
  • League
  • Club
  • Minimum Price
  • Maximum Price
  • Buy Now Minimum Price
  • Buy Now Maximum Price

This is useful for getting players that fit into your team with good chemistry, rather than relying on packs for your cards. Also the search by player name is useful too for getting specific players, and is really easy to use as it uses an autofill feature.

The items you bid on can be seen in your Transfer Targets (although some might fall off the end if you have bid on lots of cards) and you can also choose to add cards to your watch list that can be viewed here too, perhaps so that you keep tabs on it and bid at the last minute.

There is also the option to trade offer on cards where you can do swapsies. This is a good way of getting rid of cards quickly. Trade offers can only be done with people on your friend's list, so see if you can get a trading partner.

The Transfer List is where you sell your cards. Make sure you expand your trade pile size from 30 to 50 by buying the FUT Increased Trade Pile Size items off of the EAS FC Catalogue.

When you sell a card EA charge a 5% tax off of the winning bid. That is why whenever you list a card you always get a message pop up:

Your item is now up for trade and can be tracked on your Trade Pile. Successful auctions are charged a small percentage auction fee from the final auction price.

Bear this in mind when setting prices.

Trading tips

  • Buy players through auction rather than Buy Now as you get them cheaper.
  • Sell players through Buy Now with their starting price just below so you can sell them for more this way to impatient gamers who want that player immediately.
  • Check to see if there is a featured tournament going on in the Play section that requires specific players, e.g. an MLS eleven say, and buy those players for cheap and sell for high.
  • Buy players with lots of contract (because you can use them for longer without using contract cards).
  • Buy cards during Happy Hours as there will be an influx of cards on the market at these times meaning you can pick up some good cards for less. This is also a good time to increase your club value by putting bids in for lots of players.
  • Buy players that are worth less than their discard value (e.g. silver rare cards for 200 coins). To see a player's discard value you can click Quick Sell on them, then note the coins amount before clicking cancel. Alternatively you can work it out using the table below.
  • Specialise in particular cards to buy low and sell high (e.g. specialise in individual players, or a particular type of card such as in-forms). A good way to learn the market is to be an active buyer and seller.
  • Use a site like www.ultimatedb.nl to help you set prices for cards you don't need or want to sell. Also use it so that you don't overpay for cards too, although always bear in mind it is a guide.
  • Another way to help you set prices is to search for the specific card you want to sell and see what it is going for at Buy Now prices. (This is slightly different from the Compare option you have when listing a card as not all of those cards will have Buy Now prices set.)
  • It is always worth setting a Buy Now price too because a lot of people want their cards straight away and can't wait for auctions to end. However this has to be a realistic Buy Now price and not one that no one is ever going to buy at.
  • Don't put cards up for less than their quick sell value.
  • Watch out for a market crash for the high value cards around the time the team of the season is released in May 2013. (This happened in previous FIFAs and is due to a deluge of cards coming on the market as people sell their teams to try and afford the TOTS cards.)
  • Buying cards through the transfer system is more economical than buying packs.
  • Peak times (evenings in the UK) are good times to pick up cheaper cards because there is a greater supply, and non-peak times (mornings in the UK) are good times to sell cards because there is less competition. At least that is my theory although others say it is the other way around.
  • Picking up players with no contract left can lead to you getting players for relatively cheaper as people are less willing to purchase a player with no contract left. Also, in relation to this, try not to use all the contracts on a player before selling them. Try and leave them with at least 1 contract left when listing them so that they hold more appeal.
  • To make big bucks through trade you need to buy and sell expensive cards (like in-forms or Messis and Ronaldos). With high sums of coins involved this is risky so make sure you know what you are doing. Also bear in mind when selling high value cards that there is a 5% tax applied to the winning bid, so factor that into your profit margin calculations as you don't want it to wipe out your profit.
  • You can sell your coins for real-life currency if you build up a big pot. Do a search on Google to find websites that offer this facility, and only use the trustworthy ones. These websites will offer you the most when the game first comes out with their prices diminishing over time. However it is important to note that if you sell your Ultimate Team coins this is against the rules of conduct and can result in a ban from Origin (the EA login service).

Player's quick sell (or discard) values

Card Discard value (in coins)
Gold In-form 122 x player rating
Silver In-form 70 x player rating
Bronze In-form 20 x player rating
Gold rare 8 x player rating
Gold 4 x player rating
Silver rare 3.5 x player rating (and rounded to nearest whole number if not a whole number)
Silver 1.5 x player rating (and rounded to nearest whole number if not a whole number)
Bronze rare 0.75 x player rating (and rounded to nearest whole number if not a whole number)
Bronze 0.3 x player rating (and rounded to nearest whole number if not a whole number)

Other cards you can purchase for less than their quick sell value are rare gold staff cards which have a quick sell value of 240.

The last thing to mention in this section is that you can access your trading (and other things Ultimate Team) away from your XBox by using the web app: http://www.ea.com/soccer/fifa-ultimate-team

My Club

In the My Club section you will see the following:

  • My club
  • Player stats
  • Leaderboards
  • Play a friend's squad results
  • Delete club

My club is where you can see all the cards you have in your club. When you click into it you will be given the option to search for a particular card. Otherwise you can browse in which case the following subcategories will be available, providing you have at least one card that fits into that section:

  • Trophies
  • England
  • France
  • Germany
  • Italy
  • Spain
  • Europe
  • World
  • Staff
  • Stadia
  • Balls
  • Consumables

You can cycle through these and look at individual clubs and the players you have from each club. When browsing through there will be details at the bottom telling you how many rare players you have in that category, how many gold, silver and bronze players, the total players, kits and badges you have in that category.

For the staff section the summary at the bottom will instead tell you the numbers of managers, head coaches, fitness coaches, GK coaches and physio coaches you have.

Lastly you can see all the trophies you've won in the Play section which will be split by single player and online trophies. Each trophy will have details telling you when you first won it and the number of times you've won it.

It is important to know about the consumables. There are several types of consumables:

  • Player training
  • Goalkeeper training
  • Position change
  • Chemistry Styles
  • Manager leagues
  • Contracts
  • Fitness
  • Healing

The Player training and Goalkeeper training cards can be applied to players to improve their attributes for one game only (the next one they play after receiving the card boost). The cards available are bronze, silver and gold for all the individual attributes, plus rare cards for improving all the players attributes.

The effect will be shown on the card. You can also boost this based on the staff you have at your club. If you have, say, lots of pace coaches and their total pace boost = 20% then you will get a 20% boost on top of whatever the pace boost of the card says when you apply it. There is a 50% limit though so if you have pace coaches with a combined 80% boost you'll still only receive a 50% boost.

Position change cards can be used to change players positions, which is useful for increasing your chemistry. The position change cards available are:

  • LWB>LB
  • LB>LWB
  • RWB>RB
  • RB>RWB
  • LM>LW
  • RM>RW
  • LW>LM
  • RW>RM
  • LW>LF
  • RW>RF
  • LF>LW
  • RF>RW
  • CM>CAM
  • CAM>CM
  • CDM>CM
  • CM>CDM
  • CAM>CF
  • CF>CAM
  • CF>ST
  • ST>CF

The Chemistry Styles can be applied to players to permanently improve their attributes. More on Chemistry Styles is in the Squads section.

Manager Leagues cards can be applied to managers to change the league of that manager. This may be useful for Chemistry purposes. For example you may have an predominantly Brazilian Barclays Premier League squad, and you have a Brazilian manager who manages in the Eredivisie, so he is giving your chemistry a boost through his matching of the players nationalities but not through his league. Hence applying a manager league card for the Barclays Premier League will give your chemistry an extra boost.

Contracts can be applied to players, or managers, so that they can play, or manage, in more matches for you. Bronze contract cards work best on bronze players/managers, silver on silver and gold on gold. Again you can get up to a 50% boost on contracts through your staff. The managers have a negotiation percentage. Once these add up to 50% or over amongst all the managers in your club you will get that 50% boost whenever you apply a contract consumable, otherwise you will get a lesser boost based on the total of their negotiation percentages. Because of this it is worth stocking up on managers with negotiation percentages early on in Ultimate Team so that you always get maximum boost on contracts.

Similarly Fitness and Healing cards can be boosted in the same way using the appropriate staff. Fitness cards can increase your players fitness. This is useful if they are an absolutely vital member of your squad and you can't bench them. Otherwise a player's fitness can be improved by placing them on the bench or reserves of your squad and not playing them in the match.

Healing cards are for when your players pick up an injury. The injuries your player can pick up are to their:

  • Head
  • Upper Body
  • Arm
  • Knee
  • Leg
  • Foot

There is also an All card that can be used for any injury your player picks up, rather than the healing cards that can only be used for the specific injury mentioned on it. If you have no healing cards you can still heal the player by putting them in the reserves of your squad and playing out the required amount of matches that they are out for.

Consumables this year are stacked so that you can hold unlimited quantities within your club.

The Leaderboards show how your Ultimate Team compares against your friends, or alternatively you can view and compare yourself to the top 100 in the world. There are four different categories of leaderboard and you can view either the all-time, weekly or monthly totals (i.e. since the beginning of the month) for each of the following:

  • Match Earnings: Total coins earned from matches and tournaments.
  • Transfer Profit: Coin profits from purchases, sales and discards.
  • Club Value: Total value of all Players in your club.
  • Top squad: Combined chemistry and rating scores of your best squad.

These are self-explanatory, except club value. Each player card has a value. No other cards (e.g. staff, badges and kits) contribute to your club value. The value of each player is worked out using the calculation in the table below:

Card Value
In-form ((player rating + 15)^3)/2 (rounded if not a whole number)
Rare (player rating^3)/2 (rounded if not a whole number)
Non-rare ((player rating - 15)^3)/2 (rounded if not a whole number)
(where ^ means "to the power of", so "^3" means cubed)

Also on the leaderboards you can directly compare against a particular person by clicking A on them. This will show your relative records for the four leaderboards, and also your overall W-D-L record and the aggregate number of trophies you have won.

The Player Stats are worth looking at too. These show the players in your active squad by their overall rating, their games played, their goals scored, and their red and yellow cards accumulated.

As for the Delete club option, I have no idea why you'd want to do this. If it is because your DNF modifier is low because you have quit lots of matches, then you just need to play and complete some matches and it'll go back up again. If it is because you want to have a different name for your club then you can purchase the FUT Change Team Name item from the EAS FC Catalogue. There is no need to resort to deleting your club, especially now when your starter pack cards are untradeable.

If however you do ignore this sage advice please be advised you can only delete your club 5 times in total.

Seasons

^s10|Co-op Seasons

From the manual:

Enjoy ranked online play at its best and most competitive with Seasons. As you play through 10 games per season, try to earn enough points to avoid relegation and gain promotion to the next division-or even win the division title. It won't be easy! Higher divisions mean tougher competition and promotions, so get ready for a true football challenge.

CO-OP SEASONS

For the first time, dominate the pitch with a friend as you play through Seasons mode on the same team. Co-op Seasons is the next evolution in online play, allowing you and a friend to team up online and play 2v2. Take up the challenge of reaching Division 1 and fill up your trophy cabinet!

So clicking into Seasons mode gives you the following tabs:

  • Seasons
  • Co-op Seasons
  • Leaderboards

Seasons mode is similar to FIFA 13 except now you can play co-op with a friend.

In the Seasons menus you get the following options:

  • Play Match
  • Play Cup Match (providing the cup window is open)
  • Current Season
  • History

As well as the menu the screen will also show you your overall W-D-L record, your rating out of 5 stars (which is based on your record so when you begin it will be low), the season you are in and how you are currently doing together with the number of points required to avoid relegation to the division below (the red line), the number required for promotion (the green line) and the number of points needed for the title (the gold line).

It is three points for the win, one for the draw and zero for the loss. You start in division 10 and try to work up to division 1. For co-op there are 5 divisions.

Also showing is your career history with the amount of titles you have plus the amounts of promotions and relegations you have, your best season finish and your best cup finish. Clicking on this will take you to the Trophy room where you can view the cups you have won. The possible trophies to get are:

Trophy Description
Bronze Division Title Awarded for winning the title in Division 10, 9 or 8
Silver Division Title Awarded for winning the title in Division 7, 6, 5 or 4
Gold Division Title Awarded for winning the title in Division 3 or 2
League Title Awarded for winning the title in Division 1
Bronze Double Awarded for winning the EA Shield and any Bronze Division Title
Silver Double Awarded for winning the EA Cup and any Silver Division Title
Gold Double Awarded for winning the Continental Cup and any Gold Division Title
EA Shield Awarded for winning the EA Shield (first available in Division 10)
EA Cup Awarded for winning the EA Cup (first available in Division 8)
Continental Cup Awarded for winning the Continental Cup (first available in Division 5)
Premier Cup Awarded for winning the Premier Cup (first available in Division 2)

Choosing either the Play Season Match or Play Cup Match will take you into your team select screen so that you can play your match.

Once here you will be able to change your team management options prior to searching for an opponent, your matchmaking settings (this allows you to play similarly starred teams e.g. 4.5 star against 4.5 star, or to play against only club or international teams, whether to play opponents with similar DNFs as your own or not, and whether to play against opponents with guests or no guests), and your XBox 360 Controller settings.

If the cup window is not open then you won't be able to select to play a cup and you will instead see how many days or hours there are remaining until the next cup window opening. Once a cup window is open it stays open for three days.

The cups start with 16 teams matched up in knockout matches. The eight winners from those matches go through to the quarter-finals, then the winners go to the semi-finals and then the final. To win the cup you need to win four games in a row. If games end in a draw they are decided by extra time being played. If the scores still remain drawn then it is a penalty shootout.

The cups you can enter will depend on the division that you are in.

Division Cup
Division 1 or 2 Premier Cup
Division 3, 4 or 5 Continental Cup
Division 6, 7 or 8 EA Cup
Division 9 or 10 EA Shield

So if you are in division 1 or 2 then you can play in any of the cups, whereas if you are in divisions 3, 4 or 5 then you can play all the cups except the Premier Cup.

You can enter the cup from the division above if you have purchased the Seasons Cup Unlock item from the EAS FC Catalogue (available at level 28 for 2,000 FCC).

Also, if you are coming near the end of the league season and it looks like you may not get promotion, or the title, then there are also some items you can purchase from the EAS FC Catalogue to help you extend your season by a game, or give you an extra win.

By clicking on Leaderboards you first get to see the world table of how many players are in each division. You also can click A to see your leaderboard ranking with your total number of points in Seasons as well as that of your friends and the top 100 players in the world.

You can also access your own stats by entering your Player Hub by pressing the Right Stick.

For Co-op seasons it is the same, except you get to choose to play with a friend:

Start a co-op season with this friend.

After your first match is complete continue playing together or make progress on your own and try to rise to division 1.

Lastly EAS FC Match-day in-form and out-of-form players will be available in Seasons, meaning that the team you choose will have players' form reflecting their real-life form.

Career

From the manual:

Career

Career mode is an immersive experience that offers you the chance to play through a lifelong football career. Career mode is split into two different areas, Player and Manager. Start as a player and play through both, or start later as a manager.

PLAYER CAREER

Create your own player, or take control of a single professional footballer as you play in multiple leagues, cups, and continental competitions to boost your form rating and ultimately represent your national team.

MANAGER CAREER

Take control of the financial side of your favourite club and please the Board. Scout for new players, manage the budget, and make key player and squad decisions as you take your club to the top.

GLOBAL TRANSFER NETWORK

One of your jobs as manager is to scout for new players, and FIFA 14's new Global Transfer Network makes this more rewarding than ever. Send scouts to different countries to scout the respective leagues, and set Scouting Instructions to find players who fit your criteria. You can also search the names of specific players you want. Once you've found possible recruits, assign a scout to watch them and make the best decision for your team.

In Career you can play one of two types of career:

Note: before starting these you may want to check the Customise section of this guide to see how you change stadium names to make them more realistic, how you can import players etc. You'll want to do all this before starting your 15 seasons of career because you can't add them in once you have started.

Manager Career

As a manager your role is to pick the best possible team and tactics for each match, build a great squad of players and keep them all happy; if that's possible.

Choose Manager Career and pick a team to manage from one of the teams as listed in the Leagues, teams, players and stadiums listings and ratings section of this guide (although you can't choose a Rest of the World team or an International team). To help you choose the star rating of the team, their transfer budget, their weekly wages and their starting eleven will be shown.

After you've carefully deliberated over all the clubs in the game and chosen to manage Real Madrid (or not) then you can pick your settings. First your career settings:

  • Match difficulty - Affects the level the AI plays at, the higher you set it the bigger the challenge. Once you've set your Difficulty Level and started your career you will only be able to increase the Difficulty Level.
  • Half Length - Changes the length of each half.
  • Financial Strictness - This setting determines how much of the cash income from player sales will be allocated towards your transfer budget.
  • Currency - Changes the currency used in the mode (used to show transfer values and budgets).
  • Stadium - Sets the stadium your team will be playing your home games in - you can even rename it if you wish to. (NOTE: This setting can only be changed for teams that have a generic stadium assigned.)
  • Squads Used - Changes the squads used in the Game Mode. "Default" uses the default squads. "Download Latest" checks and downloads the latest available squads and "Current Customised" uses any modified squads currently loaded.
  • European Competition in 1st Season? - Use this option to enable European competition in the first season of Career.
  • Disable First Summer Transfer Window - Disabling the first summer transfer window will prevent any transfers from happening during that period.
  • Global Transfer Network Tutorial - New for FIFA 14 the GTN tutorial will run through the basics of hiring scouting staff and setting scouting targets. It is highly recommended you complete it.

If you do enable European competition you get to choose which teams go into each of the 8 groups of the Champions Cup

Then you get to choose your Manager Preferences:

  • First Name - Select to enter your first name.
  • Last Name - Select to enter your last name.
  • Nationality - Select your nationality.
  • Outfit Style - Select the outfit style.
  • Suit Colour - Select the suit colour.
  • Skin Tones - Select the skin tone.
  • Body Type - Select the body type.

Once this is done you are prompted to choose a slot to save your game. Now you can start your manager career.

At the interface screen you have five tabs:

The Central area is like a hub area where news items and things of interest will be shown. At the top will be your 5-day calendar allowing you to see what the next five days hold. You can advance your career along here too. Also you have news items and the table or fixtures, plus a featured element of career (e.g. GTN).

For the news section it is worth keeping an eye on. For example there may be news stories relating to your players who may be getting unhappy or something. Sometimes they will approach you asking for game time or a new contract and if you want to keep them happy then you may need to give them what they ask for. But you have to balance this up with how the other players in the squad will react.

Also the news stories will let you know when players at other clubs are unhappy. This may be a good time to get a player on the cheap. Also the news items allow you to link directly to the player screen now, just by pressing LS, making it easier to put a transfer in for them, say.

When matches come along you will be allowed to choose whether you want to play the match, or sim it. If you choose to sim you can also skip to the end at any time by pressing Y.

Also in the days prior to matches you will be able to talk to the media. Days you can do this will be indicated with a red mic icon. You'll be invited by the Chief Executive via your inbox to attend a press conference:

Press Conference

Manager

The media have gathered in the press room. Please let me know if you wish to attend the press conference.

Regards,

Chief Executive.

If you do attend you can talk to the press to try and motivate your squad, or to play mind games by commenting on the opposition. Be careful though not to harm your squad's morale by saying the wrong thing.

You'll be able to make a comment on your team, the opposition team, the opposition manager, or a particular player.

You will also have your email inbox pop up from time to time with emails that need dealing with, from the likes of your chief executive, or your assistant manager.

In the manager career menu the most important option is Squad. You want to improve your squad over time. That means that when you start at a club you need to look at your squad to see which players are surplus to requirements and can be transfer listed, sent out on loan (for young players that need experience), and where there are positions that need to be strengthened. Of course if you do strengthen you have to make sure you don't go over your wage bill budget otherwise you risk putting the club into debt and getting the sack because of it.

Squad

Your Squad tab has the following options:

  • Team Management
  • Club Squad/National Squad (if you are a national team manager)
  • National Squad Selection (if you are a national team manager)
  • Squad Report/Squad Ranking
  • Shortcuts for Formations/Quick Tactics/Custom Tactics/Player Roles (which can otherwise be found in the Team Management section)
  • Kit Numbers/Injury List/Edit Player

Under Team Management you get the following options:

  • Squad
  • Formations
  • Custom Tactics
  • Quick Tactics
  • Player Roles

The Squad option will allow you to see all your players, their positions and their attributes, including their overall rating. This is also the place where you choose your team (and during a match you can pause and do your substitutions from this menu too).

By clicking RB you will see each of the players' energy levels and if they are getting low then you may need to rotate your squad. Also it helps keep your players energy levels up if you always make 3 subs per game. This also gives more players game time which keeps them happy and also helps them to improve.

By clicking RT/LT you'll be able to cycle through all the player attributes.

The Formations option allows you to choose a formation. The formations you can choose are:

  • Default
  • 3-1-4-2
  • 3-4-1-2
  • 3-4-2-1
  • 3-4-3 Diamond
  • 3-4-3 Flat
  • 3-5-1-1
  • 3-5-2
  • 4-4-2 Diamond
  • 4-4-2 Diamond Wide
  • 4-1-3-2
  • 4-1-4-1
  • 4-2-2-2
  • 4-2-3-1 Wide
  • 4-2-3-1
  • 4-2-4
  • 4-3-1-2
  • 4-3-2-1
  • 4-3-3 False 9
  • 4-3-3 Attack
  • 4-3-3 Defend
  • 4-3-3 Holding
  • 4-3-3
  • 4-4-1-1 Attack
  • 4-4-1-1
  • 4-4-2 Holding
  • 4-4-2 Flat
  • 4-5-1 Attack
  • 4-5-1
  • 5-2-1-2
  • 5-2-2-1
  • 5-3-2
  • 5-4-1 Flat
  • 5-4-1 Diamond

Or you can edit it by pressing X and moving positions manually to your personal preferences.

Custom Tactics

Select CUSTOM TACTICS on the Team Management screen of any club to customize defensive and attacking play. Check out their default tactics, and then press A to view other preset tactics (Counter Attack, High Pressure, Possession, and Long Ball) as well as your own customized tactics. To choose one of these as your default tactic, select it and press A.

To create a new tactic, select one as a template and use the sliders to tweak its individual components. Then press B or X to choose a slot to save your new tactic to and press A to confirm.

The sliders/options mentioned above that you can tweak are:

Build Up Play

  • Speed (1-100)
  • Passing (1-100)
  • Positioning - Organised/Free Form

Chance Creation

  • Passing (1-100)
  • Crossing (1-100)
  • Shooting (1-100)
  • Positioning - Organised/Free Form

Defence

  • Pressure (1-100)
  • Aggression (1-100)
  • Team Width (1-100)
  • Defender Line - Cover/Offside Trap

Then you can save this tactic to use when you like. You can also assign it as a quick tactic.

Quick Tactics

To use your tactics on-the-fly in games you must assign them to the D-Pad. To do this, select QUICK TACTICS on the Team Management screen, choose a direction on the D-Pad, and press A. Then select your new tactic and press A again to assign it to your chosen direction.

Note: If your default controller configuration uses the D-Pad for player movement, LS must be used to select Quick Tactics.

Quick Tactics will include the team default (as designed in custom tactics), counter attack, high pressure, possession, long ball, and things like that.

Under Player Roles you can assign the person you think is most suitable for the following roles:

  • Captain
  • Penalties
  • Short Free Kick
  • Long free kick
  • Left corner
  • Right corner

As you scroll through your player list you will see at the top their attributes for Power, FK Acc, Curve and Penalties to help you choose the best player for that role.

Make sure to be aware of which foot your corner kickers prefer. If you prefer to hit out-swinging corners then you'll want a right footer on the right side and a left footer on the left side. For in-swingers you'll want the opposite.

Also remember to double-check your Player Roles when you make substitutions. You want to make sure you still have your best possible kick takers assigned to each role.

The Club Squad/National Squad tiles allow you to switch between your national team and your club team (if you are a national team manager).

Squad Report is where you can see the progress of your squad and whether they or you have improved over the season.

Each player will have their status and stats tab and their attributes tab which you can cycle between using LB/RB.

The status and stats tab shows when the players joined the club, whether they have an injury, whether they have a suspension, what their form is and what their morale is like. Their stats show their appearances by competition together with their goals (for and against), clean sheets in those matches, yellow cards, red cards and their average match rating.

Their attributes tab shows the attribute ratings of the players as at the start of the season together with any changes over time. The attributes covered are:

  • Physical
    • Acceleration
    • Agility
    • Jumping
    • Strength
    • Sprint Speed
    • Balance
    • Stamina
    • Reactions
  • Mental
    • Aggression
    • Attack Position
    • Interceptions
    • Vision
  • Technical
    • Ball Control
    • Dribbling
    • FK Acc.
    • Long Passing
    • Marking
    • Long Shots
    • Sliding TACKLE
    • Curve
    • Crossing
    • Finishing
    • Heading Acc.
    • Short Passing
    • Shot Power
    • Stand Tackle
    • Volleys
    • Penalties
  • Goalkeeping
    • GK Diving
    • GK Kicking
    • GK Positioning
    • GK Handling
    • GK Reflexes

These will improve as players get game time and play well. The attributes grow quicker for younger players. Older players lose their attributes quicker, especially if they are not playing. Therefore it is advised that you always make use of all your subs every game so as to give your squad game time.

The Squad Ranking option ranks your squad against each other based on form. You will also see their previous ranking so that you can track who has done well over the week, and who hasn't.

Kit Numbers allows you to change the kit numbers of your players.

The Injury List option shows the players that you have injured by type of injury and length. You can also use LT/RT to cycle through the other teams in your league to see what players they have injured at that time.

For the edit players you can't change attributes, but you can change players' accessories to your preference, so if you want your whole team to play in pink boots you can do that. You can also edit players from other teams and across leagues. You will need to have purchased the level 19 item (2,500 FCC) from the EAS FC Catalogue to enable it though.

Transfers

The Transfers tab provides buttons to access your:

  • Global Transfer Network (GTN)
  • GTN featured item
  • Search Players/Scout Instructions/My Shortlist
  • Sell Players/Transfer Negotiations
  • Finances/Budget Allocation

The GTN (Global Transfer Network) is new to FIFA 14. Check out the video. Whereas before you would automatically know every player's attribute rating, now you have to rely on your scouts to provide them. The better your scouts the more accurate the attribute ratings you will see to help you in deciding to purchase a player or not.

^s23|GTN

All clubs start with between 1 and 4 GTN scouts and can eventually hire up to 6. Scouts can then be sent out to set up scouting networks where they can look for players by position, by age, by contract, or by attribute with up to 6 of the following attributes being selectable at a time:

  • Any
  • Aerial Threat
  • Attack Minded
  • Box to Box
  • Defensive Minded
  • Distance Shooter
  • Dribbler
  • First Team Quality
  • Free Kick Specialist
  • Pacey
  • Penalty Specialist
  • Playmaker
  • Prolific
  • Promising
  • Strong
  • Tall

You'll then get emails about the players they have found that met your criteria, or will say they can't find any more and that you need to change their instructions. A well-managed GTN will help you better identify talent for your team, particularly in later years of your career when many players from real-life will have retired.

The Search Players option allows you to search for players. Early on in your career the chief exec will send you an email which you should be aware of before you go on a spending spree:

Transfer Market Information

The transfer market is now open. Remember that a player's value will vary based on their form, time remaining on their contract, how important they are to their club and a variety of other factors that will ultimately determine the amount each player is likely to be sold for.

I will add comments on any transfer negotiations when I see fit in order to give you a better idea of what each player might be sold or bought for. Ultimately, however, it's up to you.

Regards,

Chief Executive

So value of a player will be determined in many ways (e.g. transfer listed players will cost less than non-transfer listed players).

Now you have the knowledge on where value lies use the Buy Players option to buy players. You can search by:

  • Position
  • Role
  • Search Last Name
  • League
  • Team
  • Player Age Min.
  • Player Age Max.
  • Nationality
  • Transfer Status

Once you have found a player that you like you can click on them to:

  • Ask Scout to Scout them
  • Add to Shortlist
  • Enquire about the player
  • Approach the team to buy
  • Approach the team to loan

Choosing to buy a player will give you the option to put an offer forward for them. Your chief executive's advice will be there to help you decide on a figure. You can also offer a player at your club instead in exchange, or a combination of a transfer fee plus a player.

After your offer has gone through you should receive a reply from the club in the next few days to say whether it was successful, or there may be a period of negotiation where you try and agree an amended transfer fee.

Also whilst buying players remember to keep in your transfer budget (although from the first January transfer window you will be allowed to request more funds) or:

We can't allow you to go forward with this offer. We don't have the financial means to pull this transfer off.

However if you absolutely must complete a transfer that you can't afford then perhaps you could try and use the request funds option under the office tab, or purchase one of the Financial Takeover items from the EAS FC Catalogue (available at levels 13, 39 and 78 for 1,500, 3,000 and 5,000 FCC respectively).

Also if your club has no money you may want to check out the free agents as they involve no transfer fee and you can pick up some good players there.

When a transfer offer is accepted you will need to enter negotiations with the player. The player demands will be presented to you, along with your remaining wage budget, and the contract options you have to offer to the player will be:

  • Offered wage (week)
  • Bonus per goal (or clean sheet)
  • Length of contract
  • Squad role

If your contract offer is successful then you will get the chance to stall, accept or reject the decision to bring the player into your club.

Choosing to loan or enquire about a player (which is used when you want to see what a club might be willing to accept for a player) will be much the same process. Adding a player to the shortlist means you can have all your targets on a shortlist enabling you to compare them against each other so that you are able to get the best player for your team.

Also, when buying players, it is important to know if you are interested in the short term or the long term. If you are planning to leave the club at the end of the season then you may as well buy established players (who are normally older) or just bring in loan players for the season. If however you are planning on staying at the club for a long time you may want to take a long term view and purchase young players with a lot of potential (which will only get realised through regular first team games).

The Sell Players option allows you to look at all your squad by:

  • Position
  • Name
  • Age
  • Overall rating
  • Price (i.e. value)
  • Wage
  • Status

By clicking in here you will see at the top a summary of the players in your squad by position so you can see where you have too many players, and where you don't have enough players.

At the beginning of the season you will want to get this down to a reasonable level (say 2 players per position meaning a total of 22 players, or at nig clubs with many more matches a season you may want more).

The player status can be things like:

  • Purchased this season
  • Loaned out
  • Loanee
  • For Loan (Season) - i.e. available for loan
Etc.

Sometimes clubs will come in for players that aren't transfer listed too. When a club does make an offer your chief executive sends an email to you, which goes into your inbox, and you are notified that you have to deal with it by going to the transfer negotiation folder (linked via the email).

If you want to check where this player fits into your squad plans then back out and check before coming back. Otherwise proceed to deal with the offer.

The offer will be presented showing the interested team, the transfer type (purchase or loan) and the sum of money on offer. Again the chief executive will provide some comments to aid you. Your remaining transfer budget and remaining wage budget will be shown too. Your options will be:

  • Stall
  • Accept Offer
  • Reject Offer
  • Counter Offer
  • Reject All Offers / Disallow Future Offers

If countering then try not to set too high a price as to frighten off the interested club if you want to sell, or if the player wants away. On the other hand try not to aim too low as you want to get the maximum you can.

You can click on players here to transfer list them, or to make them available to loan (either season-long, or short-term), to offer them new contracts or to release them from their contract (by buying out the remainder of their contract - an option that should not be used except where you want rid of players at the end of their term at the club thus incurring no fee). On contracts you don't want your good players to let their contracts run out because they'll then be able to leave your club for free (under the Bosman rule).

View Shortlist is the place to go to see all the players you have shortlisted.

Transfer Negotiations is where you can view your transfers. Use LT/RT to cycle through Transfer Offers Received, Transfer Offers Sent, Successful Negotiations and Unsuccessful Negotiations.

There will be details for each showing:

  • Transfer type
  • Negotiation Status
  • Estimated Worth (of player)
  • Transfer Fee (of player, useful for comparing against the estimated worth)
  • Wage: Current
  • Wage: Offered
  • Contract Length: Current
  • Contract Length: Offered
  • Bonus: Current
  • Bonus: Offered

The Finances tile shows your remaining transfer budget and wage budget. Clicking in here allows you to amend your budget allocation. This is where you can set the split for your wage budget against transfer budget. At the left hand side will be the transfer budget details (your starting transfer budget, players purchased, remaining transfer budget) and on the right hand side will be the wage budget details (weekly wage budget, starting weekly wages, change this season, surplus weekly budget).

Below these sums is a slider you can use to determine the split of budgets that you want. So, for example, you can have 90% of your budget on the transfer side, and 10% on the wage side.

If you have no money at all you could purchase one of the Financial Takeover items from the EAS FC Catalogue (available at levels 13, 39 and 78 for 1,500, 3,000 and 5,000 FCC respectively).

Office

By choosing the Office tab you see the following options:

  • Inbox
  • Contracts - Manage the contracts of the players in your squad
  • Youth Staff/Youth Academy
  • My Career/Objectives
  • Request Funds
  • Browse Jobs/Resign Natl Team/Natl Team Job Offers
  • Settings

Your inbox is where your emails go into. When you advance in your career any new emails you get will be flagged and you can auto read them pressing Y as they come in. Any unread emails will be indicated at the office tab by a number.

By clicking on Contracts you can see all your players, their wages and their remaining contract length, and their negotiation status if you have offered them a new contract. Don't let good players run down their contracts, and similarly don't give bad players long contracts. At the same time you don't want disharmony in your squad so if a player is being too demanding you may need to show them that you are the boss and transfer list them.

When offering to extend your players contracts see if you can set the signing on fees to nothing to save your transfer budget from going down.

The Youth Squad option will list the youth players you have. Their player attributes will be here too, plus their potential attributes. You will be able to promote players here to your main squad when they become 16.

If you want some more star youth players you could purchase one of the Scout Future Star items from the EAS FC Catalogue.

You won't have any youth players though if you don't set up your youth academy. This is where you can develop for the future. There are two options here:

  • Scouting Network
  • Youth Squad

The Scouting Network option is similar to the GTN except for identifying youth prospects. Clicking it will take you to three slots where you can hire a scout. Clicking on one will take you to see a list of potential scouting networks you can choose to hire.

The scouting networks will be show the scout's name, the country, their experience rating (out of 5 stars), their judgement rating (out of 5 stars) and the scouting network cost. This is worth setting up if you plan on sticking around at your club for a long time, or if you are at a low-rated team where youth team players could be bedded in quite quickly.

Once set up you can then click on the scout to set up a scouting network, or to fire him if you think you can get a better option to replace him.

When setting up a scouting network you can choose from the following options:

  • Region (Asia/Australia/Africa/South America/North America/Northern Europe/Southern Europe/Central Europe/Rest of Europe)
  • Country (depends on the above selection)
  • Duration (3 months/6 months/9 months)
  • Type (Any/Technically Gifted/Winger/Physically Strong/Playmaker/Goalkeeper/Attacker/Defensive Minded)

And depending on the options chosen the cost will be shown with the shorter duration local areas costing less than the longer duration further areas.

Then when he reports back to you the players he has found you can sign them up to your youth team if you want.

The My Career option is where you can view your career stats.

There are stats for My Career and Season stats too, which can be cycled through using LB/RB.

My Career shows stats for your:

  • Clubs (number of)
  • League Titles (number of)
  • Domestic Cups Won
  • Continental Cups Won
  • Biggest Win
  • Biggest Defeat
  • Record Transfer Fee
  • Total Earnings
  • Current wage (at top of screen)
  • Club Record (P W D L F A)

Then the season stats show by season your:

  • Club
  • League Objective
  • League Objective Achieved
  • Domestic Cup Objective
  • Domestic Cup Objective Achieved
  • Cup(s) Progress
  • Manager of the Month Awards
  • Manager of the Year Award
  • Record Transfer Fee Paid
  • Record Transfer Fee Received
  • League Position
  • Club Record (P W D L F A)

Select Objectives to view your own progress against your board's expectations. In here will be your league and cup targets that you got at the beginning of the season, or when you first joined the club mid-season, and whether you are meeting them.

Use Request Funds to request additional funds from your board. This will then send a letter to the board:

Dear Members of the Board,

After carefully investigating the transfer market and current squad, I have come to the decision that the present transfer budget will not be enough to achieve the level of success I want for this club. As a result, I hereby request that you grant me additional transfer funds for the sum specified below.

(Amount to be entered.)

If granted, I commit to achieving the following objectives.

(Objectives)

Manager

So you can see that you are putting more pressure on yourself getting the sack by doing this, if you don't achieve your objectives.

Use Browse Jobs to apply for potential managerial job openings. You'll be able to see all the job opportunities here, which will normally be for clubs struggling in their divisions if halfway through a season. Their club details will be here to see (transfer budget and wage budget) as well as their season record so far, the wage they are offering you, and the objective they want you to achieve.

This is also the place to go to at the beginning of the new season if you want a new challenge and a new club after having done so successfully (or woefully) at your previous club.

Natl Team Job Offers is the place to go to for National team opportunities that are available, or if you are already an international manager then you will be able to resign from there to become available for another national position.

Your agent will early on in the game tell you he is looking into securing an international management job for you:

International Management

Manager,

I just wanted to congratulate you and wish you the best as the new manager of your club.

As your agent, my job will now be to keep an eye out for potential opportunities to coach a national team in addition to your club duties. As you start to make a name for yourself in the coming months, different national football associations will be looking for managers, so it is important that you perform well in order to attract interest.

Looking ahead, keep in mind that your league and club prestige is a key factor in determining what national teams will consider you for the job.

If you fancy becoming an international manager early in your career then you can automatically be offered an international job by purchasing the level 23 International Manager Offer for 1,800 FCC from the EAS FC Catalogue.

Settings shows your game settings so that you can change what you originally set as you started your career.

Season

The Season tab has the following:

  • Calendar
  • Other Leagues
  • Team Stats
  • Player Stats
  • Fixtures

The Calendar will expand your 5-day view on the central player career mode tab to a monthly view. You can then look ahead or look back using RT/LT to cycle through months. You can also click on a future date to sim to that date if you wish.

Next to the calendar you will see the key for the symbols that appear on it. There are labels for:

  • League Match
  • Cup Match
  • International Match
  • Friendly
  • European Match
  • Talk to Press
  • Transfer Window

There will also be a clock icon on particular days. This indicates the transfer deadline day. Transfer deadline day is a special day where the mode advances in hour stages rather than the normal speed the season would normally advance at which is days at a time. This is so you can do your last minute transfer business. Trackers for hours remaining and total spent on transfer deadline day will also appear on the day to enhance your transfer deadline day experience.

Team Stats gives you in-depth stats for all the teams in your league. You'll see the players listed for each team with their appearances, goals, assists, clean sheets, yellow cards and red cards and their average rating.

Player Stats gives you in-depth stats for all the players in your league/cup/internationals. You'll see the top scorers, goals, assists, clean sheets, yellow cards and red cards.

The Other Leagues option will show you tables from around the world, whilst the Tables option will show you your table and any tournament trees for your cups.

Fixtures will show you the fixtures by date (which can also be gained via the calendar).

So now all that is left is for you to play your 15 seasons of career at which point you will retire.

Player Career

In this mode you take control of a single player. You can take over as an existing player or create a new pro from scratch. You then complete accomplishments along the way to help improve your attributes.

Alternatively if you just want to play one-off matches there is a Be a Pro mode for that. From the manual:

Be a Pro

Play to win and bring the crowd to its feet in Be A Pro mode. You can take control of a specific player or goalkeeper on the field and follow all the action with the player-focused 3rd Person Cam. Select BE A PRO PLAYER or BE A PRO GOALKEEPER from the +More tile in the Play screen to get started.

NOTE: The 3rd Person Cam is only available when playing as a single player in Be A Pro modes. When playing with your friends, the normal Be A Pro camera is used

So when playing Be a Pro single matches or Player Career various icons will appear whilst you play. You have your:

  • Performance rating: Shows how well you are playing and changes based on your performance
  • Positioning arrow: arrow to show you where you should be positioned, the further out of position you are the more arrows you'll see (from 1 arrow to 3)
  • Threats: Red rings around opposition players that are your responsibility to make sure they don't receive the ball.
  • Call for pass/cross: Seen when you ask for a teammate to pass/cross to you
  • Call for through ball: Seen when you ask for a teammate to play a through ball to you
  • Call for shot: Seen when you ask for a teammate to shoot
  • Call for second defender: Seen when you ask for a teammate to defend
  • Offside flag: When you are in an offside position.

You'll see these if you choose to play just as your Pro. The alternative is to choose to play as "any" so that you control the whole team, including your Pro. If doing it this way make sure to keep passing to your Pro, who will be indicated with a star above his head, and getting him to do lots of passes, lots of dribbling around players, scoring lots of goals depending on what Career Pro Accomplishments you need to do to get an increase in attributes.

Once you have chosen your team and created your Pro or taken over a real-life footballer your main menu will be split into three tabs:

  • Central
  • My Pro
  • Season

The Central tab has a five day calendar on it that you press A on to advance, and is the same button for stopping the simulation if you want. It also has news items on it plus a My Pro item that varies dependent on what you were viewing last. The main thing here though is the objectives tile (more on that later).

The My Pro tab has the following tiles:

  • Inbox
  • Accomplishments/Upcoming Targets
  • Squad Report/Squad Ranking
  • My Actions
  • My Career
  • Settings/Edit Player

The inbox is where your emails come in to. One of the first each season will be from the manager:

League expectations for this season

Welcome to the new season.

The training staff at this football club have expectations for you this season, and for your career development these are targets we feel you need to hit.

So take some time to view these expectations by looking at your season objectives.

Good luck for the season, let's hope it brings success to this football club.

Your season objectives show you four targets, two primary and two secondary, that you have given by your manager to try and achieve throughout your league season (with cup matches and international matches not counting). For example you may have a primary objective related to achieving a particular average rating through the season, and another related to the minimum number of goals you should score. Then you may have two secondary objectives, one related to assists and another looking at your goals to shots conversion percentage.

Accomplishments are things you achieve that then unlock a new trait or kit option, or improve your attributes. The accomplishments and their rewards are listed in the Career Pro Accomplishments section so perform them and improve your player.

The Upcoming Targets are like League Objectives but mini-versions as they apply to sets of 4 matches. You can also check to see if you met the previous set of targets or not by cycling through using LB/RB.

Squad Report is where you can see the progress of your teammates and yourself and whether they or you have improved over the season.

Each player will have their status and stats tab and their attributes tab which you can cycle between using LB/RB.

The status and stats tab shows when the players joined the club, whether they have an injury, whether they have a suspension, what their form is and what their morale is like. Their stats show their appearances by competition together with their goals (for and against), clean sheets in those matches, yellow cards, red cards and their average match rating.

Their attributes tab shows the attribute ratings of the players as at the start of the season together with any changes over time. The attributes covered are:

  • Physical
    • Acceleration
    • Agility
    • Jumping
    • Strength
    • Sprint Speed
    • Balance
    • Stamina
    • Reactions
  • Mental
    • Aggression
    • Attack Position
    • Interceptions
    • Vision
  • Technical
    • Ball Control
    • Dribbling
    • FK Acc.
    • Long Passing
    • Marking
    • Long Shots
    • Sliding TACKLE
    • Curve
    • Crossing
    • Finishing
    • Heading Acc.
    • Short Passing
    • Shot Power
    • Stand Tackle
    • Volleys
    • Penalties
  • Goalkeeping
    • GK Diving
    • GK Kicking
    • GK Positioning
    • GK Handling
    • GK Reflexes

These will improve as players get game time and play well. The attributes grow quicker for younger players. Older players lose their attributes quicker, especially if they are not playing.

The Squad Ranking option ranks you and your teammates against each other based on form. You will also see their previous ranking so that you can track who has done well over the week, and who hasn't.

My Actions is the place to go when you want to request to go out on loan or request a transfer or to retire as a player, and maybe become a manager.

My Career is where you can view your stats. You can see your overall stats, or your season stats. These show:

  • Clubs (number of clubs you've had)
  • League Titles (number you've won)
  • Domestic Cups Won
  • Continental Cups Won
  • Current Wage
  • Current Value
  • Team of the Weeks you've won
  • Player of the Months you've won
  • Player of the Years you've won
  • Club career (Played, Won, Drew, Lost, Goals, Assists, Yellow Cards, and Red Cards)
  • League position (by season)
  • Average Rating (by season)
  • Man of the Matches (by season)
  • Team of the Week (by season)
  • Player of the Months (by season)
  • Player of the Year (by season)
  • Stats (Played, Won, Drew, Lost, Goals, Assists, Yellow Cards, Red Cards) (by season)

Settings will give you the following options:

  • Save
  • Game Settings
  • EA Trax
  • Edit Players

For the edit players option you can't change attributes, but you can change their accessories to your preference, so if you want your whole team to play in pink boots you can do that. You can also edit players from other teams and across leagues.

The Edit Player option allows you to edit your player, but only after you have purchased the level 19 item (2,500 FCC) to enable it from the EAS FC Catalogue. Then you'll be able to edit things like the accessories but not attributes and height or weight.

The Season tab has the following tiles:

  • Calendar
  • Team Stats
  • Player Stats
  • Other Leagues
  • Tables
  • Fixtures

The Calendar will expand your 5-day view on the central player career mode tab to a monthly view. You can then look ahead or look back using RT/LT to cycle through months. You can also click on a future date to sim to that date if you wish, but you will get the following warning before you can confirm if you still want to go ahead:

Warning!

Advancing to the date this way means that all matches will be simmed. Your player will not be playing in any matches and none of the matches simulated will have any impact on the performance of your player.

Next to the calendar you will see the key for the symbols that appear on it. There are labels for:

  • League Match
  • Cup Match
  • International Match
  • Friendly
  • European Match
  • Talk to Press
  • Transfer Window

There will also be a clock icon on particular days. This indicates the transfer deadline day when career mode slows down as all the transfer action hots up.

Team Stats gives you in-depth stats for all the teams in your league. You'll see the players listed for each team with their appearances, goals, assists, clean sheets, yellow cards and red cards and their average rating.

Player Stats gives you in-depth stats for all the players in your league/cup/internationals. You'll see the top scorers, goals, assists, clean sheets, yellow cards and red cards.

The Other Leagues option will show you tables from around the world, whilst the Tables option will show you your table and any tournament trees for your cups.

Fixtures will show you the fixtures by date (which can also be gained via the calendar) via the calendar).

So now all that is left is for you to play your 15 seasons.

Pro Clubs Seasons

From the manual:

Pro Clubs Seasons

Join or create a Pro Club to play alongside friends and other FIFA 14 gamers in up to 11v11 online play.

With your club, you can compete in 10 games per season and try to gain promotion through the league divisions. Create and grow your online Pro by competing in Club or Drop-In matches, and earn accomplishments to unlock better attributes, unique traits, gameplay celebrations, and kit upgrades. Teamwork is key if you're going to score goals, win matches, and create the best Pro player possible.

When you first come in here you will be given some blurb about what Pro Clubs is:

Welcome to Pro Clubs!

Download your Game Face

Visit www.easportsfootballclub.com to create a Game Face. Select Download Game Fave from the My Pro menu to apply your face to your Pro.

Grow your Pro

You will start as a Free Agent, and can play Drop-In matches to start unlocking accomplishments which will give you increased Attributes, Traits, Celebrations and Kit upgrades.

Join a Pro Club

Join a world of pros & managers in 11v11 Pro Club mode. Meet other Pros playing drop-in matches & become an online star.

Then you'll be prompted to create your Pro. You get to edit your information

  • First name
  • Surname
  • Known as (if you want a nickname)
  • Commentary name (choose a name from the database)
  • Kit name
  • Team (Free Agents at the beginning)
  • Kit number
  • Nationality
  • Birth year
  • Birth month
  • Birth day

You can edit your appearance:

  • Download and apply game face
  • Hair
  • Eyes
  • Complexion
  • Brows
  • Ears
  • Nose
  • Cheeks
  • Mouth
  • Jaw
  • Chin

You can edit your position and you can edit your physical options.

Your choices such as height and position will vary your start-out attribute stats. But this time choosing a 5'2" height will not make your player super pacey as EA have neutralised the impact of being at the extremes so that somewhere in the middle is the optimum now, just like how in real-life most players are of a similar height.

You can re-edit your Pro later if you are not happy with anything, or want to apply something that is currently locked.

You can unlock accessories and traits and improve your attributes by completing accomplishments. A full list of these is available in the Online Pro Accomplishments Tracker section below.

You can also purchase boots for your Pro, and attribute boosts from the EAS FC Catalogue.

Now you have made your Pro there are four tabs to the menu system here:

  • My Pro
  • Club
  • Manage
  • Leaderboards

^s11|My Pro

Under My Pro you can play a drop-in match, see your Pro's stats (games played, goals, assists, shots, man of the match, average rating), your attributes and your My Pro edit option.

By clicking on the Drop-in Match option you can play a match as your Pro even if you don't have a club. These matches are limited to 5 players on each team and all are fixed to a position, i.e. no-one can play as any.

^s12|My Pro statistics

By clicking on the Statistics box you get more detailed statistics of your games played as your Pro.

You can see you stats by position (all, forward, midfielder, defender, goalkeeper), and your form over the last 10 matches.

The Attributes button will show your attributes plus any uplift you have obtained thus far. By clicking on this you will get to see all the accomplishments as in the Online Pro Accomplishments Tracker section, and your progress against them.

Also here is the My Pro button that will allow you to edit your Pro.

Under the Club tab you can join or create a club. If you are in a club then here there will be four options:

  • Play Match
  • Play Cup Match (provided the window is open)
  • Current season
  • History

Play Match - Here you can play a club match. You'll be taken into the match lobby. You need at least one other team-mate here to play. You can choose to play a particular position, or as any in which case you control everyone bar the players your teammates are controlling. You can even have 11v11 matches. One of you will be team captain where you have control over team management aspects.

The matches you play here work like in Seasons, so are league matches where you get three points for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. You start in division 10 and try to make it to division 1.

Play Cup Match - If a cup window is open then you can view the tournament tree here and play a cup match.

The cups start with 16 teams matches up in knockout matches. After that set of matches it is the quarter-finals, then the semi-finals and then the final. To win the cup you need to win the final.

If the cup window isn't open then it will tell you when the next cup is playable. If the cup window is open it will also tell you how much longer the cup window will remain open for.

The cups you can play in depend on the league you are in:

Division Cup
Division 1 or 2 Premier Cup
Division 3, 4 or 5 Continental Cup
Division 6, 7 or 8 EA Cup
Division 9 or 10 EA Shield

Current season - This shows where your club are in the current season. Each season has 10 games. And the promotion, title and relegation lines will be shown so you know how many points you need. By clicking on it you can see the clubs you recently played and their honours.

History - shows your history, like your club's promotions, relegations and cups. By clicking on this you can view the club's trophy room.

The Manage tab has the following options:

  • Transfers
  • Message Board
  • Squad
  • Leave Club

The main thing here is the Squad option. The Squad option will show you the gamertags of all your teammates, along with their games played, their win percentage, their goals, their assists, their defender clean sheets, their goalkeeper clean sheets, their shots on target percentage, their total passes and pass percentage and their total tackles and tackle percentage.

The Leaderboards tab is the place to go to view clubs. It allows you to view friend's clubs too, allowing you to easily join if you wish. Pros also have a leaderboard by position so you could use this to recruit too.

Online Pro Accomplishments Tracker

Below are the accomplishments you can complete to improve your Pro. These can be gained either through your club matches, or in drop-in matches. Sometimes the accomplishments don't save. I think this is after matches where one of the players at the start quits part-way through, so if all the starting players remain until the end you should get the stats for the match reflected.

You can also purchase attribute increases from the EAS FC Catalogue.

Online Friendlies

From the manual:

Online Friendlies

Invite a friend to play a match online, and track your rivalry to prove who has the most skills on the pitch in five game seasons. Earn the most points in five games to hoist the trophy, and then keep the competition going with the next season as you try to defend your title!

Clicking in here will show you your friends list and their online status. If they are online you can start or continue a season with them. The seasons are 5-games long, but can finish earlier (e.g. one of you wins the first three games meaning the other player can't win the season through the remaining two games as they could only gain a maximum of 6 points so the season ends).

If your friends aren't online you can view your stats against them. It will show your current season, the title holder, the number of wins, and the all-time W-D-L records.

Skill Games

From the manual:

Skill Games

Improve your football skills by completing challenges that test specific manoeuvres such as chip shots, free kicks, and dribbling. As you master these abilities, you unlock Skill Challenges to become Legendary at each proficiency. Compare yourself to friends and others on the leaderboards for extra motivation as you progress through the levels!

This section takes you through learning the basics of the game and is therefore the best place to start your FIFA experience, to learn new skills, or to refresh on old skills.

To select your player you can go to the Skill Games tile and move RS right for Select Arena Player. Alternatively you can go to Customise>Settings>Select Arena Player. This doesn't let you choose a goalkeeper though so for the goalkeeper challenges the goalkeeper of the arena player's club will be chosen. If you aren't happy with this then go to Customise>Settings>Select Arena Goalkeeper.

There are 13 sets of skill games. In each set you start with the Bronze Skill game. Once you have passed that you unlock the silver level, then the gold level, and then finally the Skill Challenge level.

You can also compare your score against your friends or the world by pressing LT/RT on the description of the particular skill game at the practice hub. Your progression will also be monitored so you know how near you are to unlocking the next stage, or what your top score is on the skill challenge if you have already unlocked that.

1/13 Ground Pass

Ground Pass

Learn how to choose a pass receiver, about different assistance levels, and practice your timing in the ground pass skill games. Once you are comfortable with the controls, see how well you can do in the Skill Challenge.

For these challenges you need to choose someone with good Short Passing, Long Passing and Curve attributes.

Bronze Level

In this drill try to pass the ball to the mini net that is highlighted. Use LS to aim toward your desired target, and A to power up the pass. When multiple nets are in a similar direction you can pass to the farther mini net by powering up for longer, and the closer mini net by not powering up as much.

In this drill there are seven mini nets. There is a ball feeding machine in front of you which will feed you balls. You need to hit the highlighted nets in the order they are highlighted. The best way to do this is to keep an eye on the arrow by your feet that you are directing with LS as this is the direction the pass will go in. Press and hold A and let go when the direction is good. Also be careful not to dribble the ball outside the highlighted area, although you can dribble within the area to get into a better position to play your pass.

You start with 12 attempts and 1 minute 30 seconds. You need to get 5,000 points to pass the challenge. For each mini net you score in you get 500 points. You also get bonus points for the amount of time left, plus the number of attempts you didn't use.

Congratulations, you reached the Bronze target and unlocked Silver! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Silver Level

In this drill, try to pass the ball to the mini net that is highlighted, without hitting any of the moving players. Use LS to aim toward your desired mini net, and A to power up the pass. When multiple nets are in a similar direction you can pass to the farther mini net by powering up for longer, and the closer mini net by not powering up as much.

In this drill there are six mini nets behind some rails with player cutouts on that move back and forth along the rails. Each mini goal will be highlighted in turn in a random order. So direct your passes to the mini nets whilst timing them so as not to hit the moving player cutouts. Again concentrate on the arrow at your feet that you are directing, and also try not to dribble out of the area.

You start with 12 attempts and 1 minute 30 seconds on the clock. You need to get 4,000 points to pass the challenge. For each mini net you get the ball into you get 500 points. You also get bonus points for the amount of time left, plus the number of attempts you didn't use. If you hit a player cutout you lose 200 points.

Congratulations, you reached the Silver target and unlocked Gold! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Gold Level

In this drill, try to pass to the highlighted mini net. You will have 16 balls randomly launched at you and 16 mini nets to score on. Assistance is set to Manual. Extra points will be awarded if you score closer to the centre of the mini net. The more touches of the ball before you pass, the less points you will get.

In this drill you start in the centre circle. There are four ball feeders located around it with 16 mini nets. The balls will be fed to you randomly from the feeders and a mini net will be highlighted that you need to pass the ball into. Try to do a one-time pass for more points. The mini nets can repeat.

You start with 16 attempts and 1 minute 30 seconds on the clock and you need to get 8,000 points to pass the challenge. For each mini net you pass into you get points. You get more points for hitting them centrally, and also for passing into them by taking a minimum amount of touches before hitting your pass. However it is much easier to pass this challenge if you do take multiple touches before making sure you put the ball in the correct net.

You also get bonus points for the amount of time left at the end.

Congratulations, you reached the Gold target and unlocked the Skill Challenge! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Skill Challenge

Try to keep the ball away from the defenders for as long as possible. Only first time passes will be allowed. For each consecutive pass you will be awarded points. More points are given for fancy passes and nutmegs.

In this one you control four guys in yellow bibs, and have to pass it amongst yourselves using only first time passes within the highlighted area, whilst keeping the ball away from the defender in the blue bib. Obviously the fancy passes get you more points but are harder to pull off so you may want to keep it simple until you get really good before attempting them. Good luck.

To get Legendary on this you need 8,000 points.

2/13 Advanced Ground Pass

Ground Pass

Practice your passing with 'Manual' assistance in more complex scenarios. Be creative and try combinations of first time passes and triangle passing in the Skill Challenge.

For these challenges you need to choose someone with good Short Passing, Long Passing and Curve attributes.

Bronze Level

In this drill, try to pass to your teammate following the blue arrows and not hitting any of the poles. Use LS to direct and A to power up... Once you have passed through the last pole, you will see a Defender and Goalkeeper. Beat them and score. Make sure your teammate is close enough to you at all times, otherwise the drill will finish.

In this drill there are ten poles laid in a straight line on the pitch with gaps between them. On one side is one player, and on the other is the other player. You'll both jog along passing through the gaps in the poles in the way the blue arrows indicate. If you get out of sync you can try and speed up or slow down the player who is out of sync (easier to slow down).

Once through the last gap the defender and goalkeeper become active and you need to try and use your two players to score a goal.

You start with 1 attempt and 1 minute on the clock. You need to get 8,000 points to pass the challenge. For each successful pass you get points. You also get points for scoring (2,000) and skilling the defender or goalkeeper (1,000). You also get bonus points for the amount of time left. You lose points for hitting a pole (-500).

Congratulations, you reached the Bronze target and unlocked Silver! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Silver Level

In this drill, use LS to aim your pass and A to power it up. Follow the arrows to complete passes to your teammates. Don't trap the ball as you must pass on the go. After you have passed through your last arrow attempt a first time shot into the net. For this challenge passing settings will be on manual.

This drill is similar to the last in that you move along a line passing the ball through gates, except this time on the other side are 6 teammates rather than just one who jogs along with you. Also the gates are wider and formed by cones and not poles and all the passes need to be done first time or the drill ends. Try and pass as the arrows indicate. Then after this section take a first time shot at the goal, hopefully hitting one of the five targets in it. Don't hit passes too hard as they will go outside the highlighted area and the drill will end.

You start with 1 attempt and 25 seconds on the clock. You need to get 7,000 points to pass the challenge. For each gate you get the ball through you get 300 points. You get 200 points for finding the correct man, and also points for hitting a target at the end with your shot. You also get bonus points for the amount of time left. You lose points (-500) if you pass to a man you passed to already.

Congratulations, you reached the Silver target and unlocked Gold! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Gold Level

In this drill, pass to your teammate and make sure the pass goes through the gate. The gate and the zone will slowly shrink. For extra points, use the first time passes or pass the ball right through the centre of the gate. Try to align your pass by using LS to aim and A to power it up.

In this drill there are two players in two separate highlighted areas and a gate between them that the ball needs to be passed through. The gate and the areas get shorter as time passes. The best thing to do is concentrate on getting your LS pointing directly up and directly down as you deliver your passes, and to do the passes first-time..

You start with 1 minute and 30 seconds on the clock and you need to get 7,500 points to pass the challenge. For each pass through the gate you get 200 points, for a first time pass you get an additional 100 points and for getting the pass through the very centre of the gate you get an additional 150 points.

Congratulations, you reached the Gold target and unlocked the Skill Challenge! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Skill Challenge

Try to keep the ball away from the defenders for as long as possible. For each consecutive pass you will be awarded points. More points are given for the first time passes, fancy passes, really long passes, and nutmegs. And of course, for this skill challenge passing settings will be on "Manual".

This time you are control 7 teammmates that are stationed around four defenders. You need to try and pass it amongst the seven whilst staying in the area and keeping it away from the defenders. You get points for passes, and based on the types of pass too. Good luck.

To get Legendary on this you need 20,000 points.

3/13 Shooting

Shooting

Practice Driven shots, Finesse Shots, and Headers, and then put them to use to compete for high scores in the Skill Challenge.

For these challenges you need to choose someone with good Finishing, Shot Power and Volleys.

Bronze Level

Press B to take a shot at goal. The longer you hold B the harder your shot will be, and the higher your shot will go. Use LS to aim left and right. You'll have eight attempts to hit all 4 targets in the goal.

In this drill there is a highlighted area just inside the area in front of you. You start with the ball at your feet and need to run into the coned area and take a shot from inside it to try and hit a target in the goal. There are four targets, one in each of the four corners of the goal. In front of the goal is a moving player cutout that goes back and forth.

For the higher targets you need to power up your shots for longer, but not too long of course or it will go over the bar. Finesse shot also works pretty well too.

You start with 8 attempts and have 1 minute 30 seconds to hit the targets and you need to get 5,000 points to pass the challenge. You get points based on how much power you used (the more power, the more points) and how central you hit each target (the more central, the more points). You will also get a bonus for any time you have left at the end, plus for any attempts you didn't use. You lose points (-100) for hitting the player cutout.

Congratulations, you reached the Bronze target and unlocked Silver! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Silver Level

Press B to head the ball. The longer you hold B the harder your header will be, and the higher the ball will go. Use LS to aim left and right. You'll have eight attempts to hit all 4 targets in the goal. You will lose points if you hit the player cutout.

This is similar to the bronze challenge, with the coned area being just in the area, and four targets being situated in the goal's corners. There is also a moving cutout moving back and forth in front of the goal. This time you start in the coned area and high balls are fed in to you to head towards goal. Press B for longer to hit the higher targets.

You start with 8 attempts and 1 minute on the clock and you need to get 5,000 points to pass the challenge. You get points based on how much power you used (the more power, the more points) and how central you hit each target (the more central, the more points). You will also get a bonus for all the time you have left at the end, plus for any attempts you didn't use. You lose 1,000 points each time you hit the player cutout.

Congratulations, you reached the Silver target and unlocked Gold! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Gold Level

In this drill, you will be shooting from a distance at the goalie. Press B to run up and to power up your shot. You will have better chances to score by using the finesse shot RB. You have 8 attempts to shoot the ball at the goalie.

There are eight balls lined up in a straight line outside the area. You will shoot each of them in turn going from left to right. The keeper is in the goal so try and beat him. Use finesse shots as suggested in the challenge description.

You start with 1 minute on the clock and you need to get 2,000 points to pass the challenge. You get points for a goal (500) or for hitting the woodwork (200). You get bonus points for time still left on the clock at the end. If you fail to shoot a ball after your run up then you'll have to start again.

Congratulations, you reached the Gold target and unlocked the Skill Challenge! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Skill Challenge

In this drill, try to hit as many targets and water bottles as you can. Assistance will be set to 'Manual'. Use all the skills you've learned in the previous drills to pick the appropriate shot type for the given situation. More points will be awarded for hitting targets with more power and more accuracy. You will have 16 balls launched at you to get as many points as you can.

This time there is no time on the clock so you can take as long as you want. There is a goal with 7 targets lined up under the bar, and two moving targets moving along the floor. In front of the goal is a moving player cutout and in front of that is a moving player cutout wall.

The balls will be fed into you in the coned off area. Just control it and wait until the best time to shoot and shoot. You can try finesse shots or maybe even chip shots.

You have 16 attempts and no time limit. You gain points for scoring a goal (500) plus extra for hitting the targets. You get more points for hitting the targets harder and more centrally. You lose points for hitting the player cutout, or wall (-200). Good luck.

To get Legendary on this you need 45,000 points.

4/13 Advanced Shooting

Advanced Shooting

Practice Chip Shots, First Time Shots from distance, and Air battles, then get high scores with what you've learned in the Skill Challenge, where we will put you in match situations.

For these challenges you need to choose someone with good Finishing, Shot Power and Volleys.

Bronze Level

To do a chip shot, hold LB while powering up a shot with B. In this drill, you will be trying to chip the ball up and over the wall to score a goal, or better yet, hit the target. The targets will become active when you have the ball in the zone designated by the cones.

In this drill there is a highlighted area coned off that you need to shoot from. Between that and the goal will be a player cutout wall, or a wall of boxes blocking the goal. You need to score a goal and there are extra points available too if you hit the target that is hanging from the crossbar in the goal.

The first scenario in which you try to score has the highlighted area at the near side of the penalty area and a player cutout wall between it and the goal. The next scenario sees you trying to score from the far side of the penalty area over a high wall of boxes. The third has three water bottles on the line, one row of boxes ahead of them and the highlighted area in the box. You may want to come into the highlighted area sideways if you want to reduce the angle you need to shoot at.

The last scenario sees the highlighted area at the D of the penalty area. Ahead of you is a player cutout wall and lots of boxes in the goal bar a space in the middle below the crossbar where the target hangs with a water bottle below it.

You start with 12 attempts and have 1 minute 30 seconds to score the four chip shots and you need to get 6,000 points to pass the challenge. You get points for scoring the goal, and extra for hitting a target. You will also get a bonus for all the time you have left at the end, plus for any attempts you didn't use.

Congratulations, you reached the Bronze target and unlocked Silver! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Silver Level

In this drill an air ball will be played into you from 4 different angles. Position your player, power up and try to score. Try holding down LT to request fancier finishes like bicycle kicks. More points will be awarded for bicycle kicks, volleys, chip shots and finesse shots. Get as many points as you can in 16 attempts.

This time the ball is being played from four ball feeders at the corners of a highlighted area around the D of the penalty area. There is a goalie and a wall of boxes in his goal.

This time crosses are coming in to the box where your man is. You have to shoot the ball into the goal to try and hit the boxes, or just the goal. If you hit the wall you get points taken away (-100).

To do well in this one you need to take as many shots as you can in the allotted time, so always try to take it first time. Always use the flair shots too, as that gives more points, plus aim for the high targets, and in particular the targets in the two top corners. Try again for the high balls to position yourself so that you can do scissor or bicycle kicks. You have one minute. Good luck.

You start with 16 attempts and there isn't a time limit, and you need to get 12,000 points to pass the challenge. You get points based on how fancy your shots are, how much power you knocked the boxes down with, and by scoring. You lose points for wayward shots that hit the player cutout wall behind the goal.

Congratulations, you reached the Silver target and unlocked Gold! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Gold Level

In this drill you will be practicing air battles. Positioning is the most important factor to win a header. Use LS to move your player towards the ball when it is in the air. Power up your header. Once your player is about to head the ball quickly move the LS to aim toward the net and direct your header. You will have 16 attempts to get as many points as you can.

It might be worth choosing Ibrahimovic for this one as he is tall and has good strength and heading ability.

There is a highlighted coned off area inside the penalty area. Your player will be jostling with a defender. Ahead of them is a goal with lots of targets in it, and a player cutout moving back and forth in front of them. Even some of the targets are moving.

Balls are played into your striker who you need to position correctly to try and head the ball into the net, whilst trying to hit those targets.

You start with 16 attempts and no time limit. You need to get 10,000 points to pass the challenge. You get points for hitting the targets, and points for getting a goal (1,000). You lose points for hitting the player cutout (-1,000).

Congratulations, you reached the Gold target and unlocked the Skill Challenge! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Skill Challenge

In this drill, you will be given multiple scoring opportunities against the defence. Get points by making successful passes to your teammates, volleys, GK saves, fancy shots, long range shots and chip shots. Watch out for offside as you will be deducted points. You have 3 minutes to rack up as many points as you can.

This time you start from various places on the pitch with the ball at your feet or being played into you. There will be fellow attackers that you control, and also defenders and a goalkeeper to beat too.

Sometimes when you are far out the keeper will be out of his goal so look out for this and try and score straight away by lobbing the keeper.

To do well in this one you can try to score lots of goals, and try fancy shots. You also get points for the keeper making a save (100), for beating a defender (100) and for successful passes (200). You lose points for offsides (-300) and a defender getting it (-100). You have 3 minutes. Good luck.

To get Legendary on this you need 30,000 points.

5/13 Dribbling

Dribbling

Practice basic dribble turns and player avoidance. Make a strategy to cross gates protected by defenders. Practice your skill moves and beat players and the goalkeeper in 1 on 1 situations.

For these challenges you need to choose someone with good Dribbling, Sprint Speed and Acceleration attributes. Also if you choose a player with 5 star skill moves then that will be useful. You may also want to refresh yourself with the Skill Moves controls before embarking on the harder of these challenges.

Bronze Level

Use LS to navigate your way through the gates as quickly as possible and take a shot at an active water bottle in the goal. Water bottles will become inactive the longer you take.

In this drill you start in your own half and need to zigzag your way through gates formed by ten poles that lie the length of the pitch, making sure to follow the direction of the arrows on the ground. The poles have water bottles on top of them.

Once through these you need to take a shot at the goal, hopefully hitting one of the active water bottles or the cardboard boxes that they sit on which are at both sides of the goal.

You start with 20 seconds on the clock and you need to get 12,000 points to pass the challenge. You get points based on how quickly you go through each gate and also with your shot at the end, if you hit a water bottle (10,000 for a direct hit) or box. You will also get a bonus for any time you have left over at the end. You lose 1,000 points if you hit a pole so that the water bottle falls down to the ground.

Congratulations, you reached the Bronze target and unlocked Silver! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Silver Level

In this drill, try to dribble around the players moving side to side without hitting any of them. Press LS to navigate around them. After moving around the last player, you will see a GK, press B to shoot on net. You have 30 seconds to complete this drill.

This drill sees you faced with 17 player cutouts that are between you and the goal. Each player cutout sits on a rail and is moving back and forth, side to side. Dribble through these timing yourself so not to hit them. The easiest way is to zigzag through them without using sprint. Once through here shoot at the goal and try and score past the goalkeeper.

You start with 30 seconds on the clock and you need to get 8,000 points to pass the challenge. You get points based on how quickly you go through the player cutouts, and how closely you dribble it around them, with your shot at the end (1,000 points for a goal). You will also get a bonus for any time you have left over. You lose if you knock a player cutout off of its rails, or if you go out the right or left of the highlighted area the cutouts are in.

Congratulations, you reached the Silver target and unlocked Gold! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Gold Level

In this drill you will have to cross all the gates in both directions. Watch out as defenders are overly aggressive and will attempt to knock the ball out of your possession at all times. An effective way to change directions is by protecting the ball pressing LT.

This drill has seven gates formed by cones and you need to go into them from both ends. At the same time there are eight defenders in the area, one of which follows you about and the others who become active when you go through their gate. When they get the ball from you that is one of your five attempts over, but if their gate is completed they will not become active again in any of your next attempts.

One way of doing this is to go in one end of each gate then reverse straight away to get in the gate from the other end. However an easier way is to go through each gate in one direction with the defenders chasing you, then to reverse and go through them all in the other direction.

You start with 1 minute 30 seconds on the clock and 5 attempts and you need to get 9,000 points to pass the challenge. You get points based on getting the ball through the gates (500 points each way) and for avoiding slide tackles from the "overly aggressive" defenders (200 points a time). There are no bonus points for completing the challenge early (so if going for a high score don't go through the final gate until near the end), and no bonus points for any attempts you have left.

Congratulations, you reached the Gold target and unlocked the Skill Challenge! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Skill Challenge

In the first stage of this drill you will need to perform a skill move to get past the gates. To do a skill move use the RS. In the next stage try to beat the defenders and Goalkeeper. You will get extra points by dribbling into the net, scoring from a skill move, fancy passes or shots, beating defenders or goalkeeper, and nutmegs.

First go through the two gates indicated by the arrows using skill moves (easiest is probably the roulette). The goalkeeper here will be starting behind you and running towards the goal in an attempt to get in your way whilst you navigate those gates so be quick. Once through that part skill the keeper and dribble into the goal, and try a skill move near the line.

You then have 11 more attempts to score goals by dribbling it or skill moving it into the net, whilst skilling the defenders and goalkeepers for extra points.

You start with 2 minutes on the clock and have 12 attempts. To get high scores go for skilling the defenders a lot to make sure you use all of the two minutes.

To get Legendary on this you need 35,000 points.

6/13 Advanced Dribbling

Advanced Dribbling

Learn and master dribbling at pace, and in tight spaces while using all of the different techniques available. Race against a player cutout, time your moves to avoid obstacles, protect the ball and try to achieve Legendary in the new Gauntlet.

For these challenges you need to choose someone with good Dribbling, Sprint Speed and Acceleration attributes. Also if you choose a player with 5 star skill moves then that will be useful. You may also want to refresh yourself with the Skill Moves controls before embarking on the harder of these challenges.

Bronze Level

Navigate your way through gates and boxes. To get more points try to get the ball over the bars resting on poles while you go under using skill moves by doing different combinations with RS. Also try flicking the RS while holding RT to do a knock-on to get the ball under the bars resting on cones as you go over. Face Up dribbling RT + LT will be useful to go around the boxes.

In this drill you start in your own goal area. There are three gates in front of you. You need to go through the first two forwards then backwards again before going forwards through the first gate again, then through and back through the third gate, before going backwards then forwards through the second gate and finally through the third gate again. The arrows will show you the way. Do this as quickly as you can.

Next try to rainbow flick the ball over the high bar you pass under before going through another gate. Then flick the ball under the low bar with a knock-on whilst jumping over it. Then dribble through the six boxes following the arrows and trying not to knock the water bottles off the top of those boxes which happens when you bump into them.

Then at the end you then take a shot at the goal, hopefully getting it past the keeper for more points.

You start with 1 minute on the clock and you need to get 7,000 points to pass the challenge. You get points based on how quickly you go through the gates and boxes and also with your shot at the end, if you hit a target (1,000). You will also get a bonus for any time you have left over at the end. You lose points for knocking water bottles off of the boxes (-200) or knocking over the bars.

Congratulations, you reached the Bronze target and unlocked Silver! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Silver Level

In this drill you will be racing against a player cutout as you pass through the gates. To sprint press RT. You will be awarded points if you are ahead of the player cutout when crossing a gate. You will lose points if the player cutout is ahead of you. Keep in mind sprinting means you will touch the ball further which makes the ball harder to control.

This drill is mainly sprinting through gates and trying to stay ahead of the player cutout on the rail in the background. There are eight gates before you make it to the far penalty area where there are two gates before travelling back through the other bit of the course in a straight line, using knock-on to get the ball under the low bars as you hurdle over the top.

Try and angle your run for the next gate to make it easier for you.

You start with 30 seconds on the clock and you need to get 5,000 points to pass the challenge. You get points for getting through the gates before the cutout (400). You will also get a bonus for any time you have left over. You lose points when you go through gates behind the player cutout (-100). You also lose points if you knock over those low bars (-500 each).

Congratulations, you reached the Silver target and unlocked Gold! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Gold Level

Use LS to dribble around the moving player cutouts without hitting them. You will have to time your moves to successfully evade the player cutouts. After passing around the last player, you will see a defender and a goalkeeper. Beat them and score.

This drill is an obstacle course of sorts. You have a narrow area highlighted on the pitch which you must go through before facing a goalkeeper and defender to try and score. The first part involves you passing through 9 player cutouts on rails. If you go through these carefully using Face Up dribbling (LT + RT) they should be no problem. Once through these go around the cones in the centre circle as quickly as possible, before you enter another area with player cutouts on rails, this time moving from side to side. In between them are a couple of cardboard boxes too with water bottles on top. Avoid these.

After that you are into the penalty area with a defender and keeper. Try to skill them and score.

You start with 30 seconds on the clock and you need to get 17,000 points to pass the challenge. You get points based on getting past the cutouts, defender and goalkeeper successfully and for dribbling through the cones quickly. You get bonus points for any time you have left on the clock. You lose if you exit the highlighted area, or if you knock down a player cutout.

Congratulations, you reached the Gold target and unlocked the Skill Challenge! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Skill Challenge

Try to complete this course as quickly as possible using all the dribbling techniques you've learned in all previous drills. You will also need to 'Protect the ball' from a defender by holding LT. Once you have successfully protected the ball the next gate will be activated. To pass between extremely close cones try holding RB from both stand and jog to experiment with Precision Dribbling. Best of Luck!

This is an obstacle course. It starts similar to the silver challenge in that you run through gates trying to stay ahead of the player cutout on rails. After that section is a dribbling around moving player cutouts area similar to the silver drill in the 5/13 Dribbling section.

Then dribble the ball to the next section. As you enter a defender comes. All you need to do is hold LT so he is at your back (2,000 points) before he'll leave you to move to the next section where you need to dribble through a tight set of cones without knocking then or the moving bottle between them over.

Next is a section that you enter where you need to keep the ball away from the defender long enough for the exit gate to slide along its sliders to enter into the area so you can exit.

Next dribble through the moving gate following the way the arrows are directing you, and making sure to take your time not to hit the boxes and bottles around them otherwise a defender will be activated making your life harder.

There are 2 minutes on the clock at the beginning. You have 5 attempts for the defender sections. You get points for completing the sections of the obstacle course. Good luck.

To get Legendary on this you need 75,000 points.

7/13 Lob Pass

Lob Pass

Develop your ability to play accurate lob passes at various distances, and learn to use the bouncing lob. Once you've mastered the lob pass, use your skills to rally in the Skill Challenge.

For these challenges you need to choose someone with good Long Passing, Crossing and Curve attributes.

Bronze Level

In this drill use LS to aim your lob pass, and X to power it up. You will have 8 attempts to knock over as many boxes and water bottles as possible. More points will be awarded by hitting a water bottle directly.

In this drill you have eight attempts to get as many points as possible by hitting the five elaborately stacked sets of boxes ahead of you. There are also water bottles perched on them. A ball will be fed to you and you have to hit the boxes by lobbing a pass from within the marked area.

You start with 1 minute on the clock and have 8 attempts. You need to get 6,000 to pass the challenge. You get 300 points per bottle or box you knock over. You get more for hitting the bottles directly (1,000). There is no bonus for time left at the end.

Congratulations, you reached the Bronze target and unlocked Silver! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Silver Level

In this drill use LS to aim your lob pass, and X to power it up. The more you power up the lob pass the father it goes. Try to get points by lobbing the ball into a bin. Points will be awarded for getting close. To make it interesting, if you lob the ball into one of the front three bins your points will be multiplied consecutively, but if you miss they will go back to normal. Take advantage of the multiplier and then lob the ball into one of the bins in the back of the field for a high score.

In this drill you have to lob the ball into the bins laid ahead of you. There are six sets of bins. There is one set of three laid out in front of you (worth 400 points) that you can use RB + X to get the ball into, or a normal lob with not a lot of power which may be easier. This is also how you trigger the multiplier.

Behind those are five sets of nine bins, arranged across two highlighted areas. Getting the ball to drop into one of the outer bins of those sets is worth 1,000 for the nearest set, 2,000 for the next nearest, 3,000 for the next, 4,000 for the next and 5,000 for the furthest. If you get it into the central bin of the sets of nine then you get double this score. Once you have got the ball into a bucket of that set the buckets get blacked out so that the points go down to 1,000 and 2,000. This is to encourage you to try for each of the set of buckets.

If you miss the bins altogether but the ball comes to rest in the nearest highlighted area you get 100 points. If it comes to rest in the furthest are you get 200 points. In addition for a near-miss you get 500 points on top.

If you lob the ball out of these areas altogether you get 0 points.

You start with 9 attempts and no time limit and you need to get 20,000 points to pass the challenge.

Congratulations, you reached the Silver target and unlocked Gold! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Gold Level

Crossbar Challenge! Try to hit the crossbar with a lob pass using X. You will have 8 attempts to hit the bar. If you hit it, you'll have to try from a bit further back, but you'll get a few extra attempts. If you hit any of the water bottles you will also get extra attempts.

In this drill you start in a highlighted area inside the penalty area where you have to lob a shot to try and hit the bar. Also underneath the bar are three player cutouts with water bottles balanced on their heads. You can try and hit those water bottles if you prefer, but will not be moved back. If you successfully hit the bar then you move to another highlighted area which is a little further from the goal, and with each successful hit of the crossbar you keep moving further out.

You start with 8 attempts and 3 minutes 20 on the clock and you need to get 30,000 points to pass the challenge. For the first area you get 5,000 for hitting the bar, then from the next area you get 10,000 and so on. You also get points for how well you hit the bar, or if you hit a bottle (2,000) or one of the posts (4,000). Also on each successful attempt you get more attempts added to your initial 8, or however many you have remaining at that time.

Congratulations, you reached the Gold target and unlocked the Skill Challenge! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Skill Challenge

Use your lob pass to accumulate points by stringing together passes. Letting the ball bounce will increase the wall height. Use the targets and bucket to reduce the walls if you are in trouble.

For me this is the easiest skill challenge of all of them. It is like a three-way tennis match, but you have to use lobbed passes instead of a racquet to get the ball across the "net". The trick to this is to use the more accurate lobbed through balls (LB + Y) rather than the regular lobbed passes (X). This makes the challenge much easier and a good one to get Legendary on, and to pick up plenty of XP on too.

Points per lob start at 200/400 and go up by 200 each time you hit a lob before the ball bounces. If you do let the ball bounce in the area then the walls segmenting that area from the others will go up making your task harder. If this happens try to lob the ball in the central bucket to reduce all of them (and also to get 1 point), or just hit the target by the particular wall (1,000) you want to reduce, although the ball does not reset then so be ready.

Also if you go in a triangle rather than back to the player you received it from it is easier as the players will have recovered better from their last kick.

To get Legendary on this you need 25,000 points. Good luck.

8/13 Crossing

Crossing

Practice crossing, early crossing, low crossing and ground crossing, and then test your skills in match scenarios for high scores in the Skill Challenge.

For these challenges you need to choose someone with good Crossing, Long Passing and Curve attributes.

Bronze Level

In this drill, dribble into the zone and power up your cross by pressing X. Power it up less to hit the boxes at the near post. To hit the boxes at the top of the box, aim LS towards the edge of the box. Try to knock over as many boxes as possible in 8 attempts.

There are four elaborately stacked cardboard boxes in the penalty area. You need to dribble into the crossing zone which is the bit at the side of the penalty area between the touchline and the edge of the area. Then aim your cross. You alternate the side of the penalty area that you take your cross from.

You start with 8 attempts and have 50 seconds on the clock. You need to get 2,000 points to pass the challenge. You get points for knocking over boxes (100 per box, plus a little more for hitting them direct).

Congratulations, you reached the Bronze target and unlocked Silver! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Silver Level

In this drill, use LS to aim your corner kick and X to power it up. The more you power up the cross the further it goes. To pass this drill, you will need to hit the 3 targets. For extra points, kick the ball inside the bin. You have 8 attempts and 1 minute to try this.

In this drill you have to take corners with the cross button. There are six rails in the area with things moving along them back and forth. On the nearest, the third nearest and the fifth nearest are big targets you should try and hit. When you hit them they disappear for the remaining corners. On the second and fourth rails are player cutouts that you should avoid. On the final bin is a bucket which you get points for hitting, or for getting the ball inside.

You start with 8 attempts and have 1 minute on the clock. You need to get 12,000 points to pass the challenge. You get points based on how central you hit the targets. You also get points for hitting the bucket (500) or getting the ball inside the bucket (20,000). You lose points for hitting the player cutouts (-500).

Congratulations, you reached the Silver target and unlocked Gold! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Gold Level

If you double tap X your player will play a low cross. If you triple tap X he'll play a ground cross. For this drill your crossing assistance will be set to 'Manual'. You will have 90 seconds to get as many points as possible by scoring in the mini nets and hitting the moving target.

This time you have to run into the crossing zone and then hit in a cross. Because there is no limit to attempts try to hit the crosses quickly. In the middle are 5 mini nets on each side, plus a big target between the two sets.

You need to dribble into the crossing zone, similar to the bronze challenge, and cross into the box trying to get the ball into the goals, or to hit the target. Once a goal has been scored in, or the target hit it is greyed out and won't give you points if you score in it again. For the near goals you can use ground cross or a very soft cross.

You have 90 seconds on the clock and you need to get 8,000 points to pass the challenge. You get points for scoring goals (1,000 each) and for hitting the target (1,000 plus an accuracy bonus).

Congratulations, you reached the Gold target and unlocked the Skill Challenge! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Skill Challenge

In this drill, you will be doing early crosses and regular crosses to your teammates. To do an early cross press LB to aim and X to power your lob. Your teammates will make either a near post, a far post, or a holding run. You will get extra points for volleys and bicycle kicks.

This time you start in random areas that you need to take crosses from inside of. You are trying to pick out a fellow teammate. They are the ones in the yellow bibs. You are trying to avoid the defenders in the blue bibs.

Just be quick off of the mark because each situation doesn't give you much time to think. For the times you are not level with the penalty area you will need to do an early cross. Other times the ball will be moving so be prepared to run to get it too. There are also four targets in the goal, one in each corner, to try and hit with your shots for extra points.

You get points for the attacker connecting with the cross (200) and for scoring a goal (1,000+). Try the bicycle kicks etc. for more points.

To get Legendary on this you need 40,000 points. Good luck.

9/13 Defending

Defending

Practice your ability to tackle in different situations. Develop the ability to perfectly time your standing and slide tackles. Get ready for the tackling Skill Challenge and don't foul any opponent.

For these challenges you need to choose someone with good Slide Tackle, Stand Tackle and Interceptions attributes. Also someone fast would be good as there is a lot of running from place to place to be done. Dani Alves or Jordi Alba (both of FC Barcelona) may be good.

Bronze Level

In this drill, you will have to use the slide tackle to get the ball away from each attacker. When close to an attacker press X to slide tackle and knock the ball away. Make sure you tackle the players inside the highlighted box, otherwise the drill will end. Time your tackles otherwise you will foul the player and the drill will end.

In this drill there is a highlighted box around the centre circle. There are four attackers with a ball at their feet. The fist attacker to jog will be the one at the top moving from left to right as he tries to make it out the other side of the box. Move to cut him off and slide across him from the front. Once he's been tackled the player at the top right will jog with the ball from top to bottom. Once he has been tackled the player in the bottom right will dribble across the box from left to right before the final player in the remaining corner moves from bottom to top. Just get your tackles in, then get up and run to the next player in a sort of diamond shape.

You start with 30 seconds on the clock. You need to get 2,000 points to pass the challenge. You get 200 points per tackle. You will also get a bonus for any time left at the end. If the player dribbles out the other side of the highlighted area the drill ends. Also if you foul the player the drill ends.

Congratulations, you reached the Bronze target and unlocked Silver! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Silver Level

Just as you used a slide tackle to knock the ball away from the attacking team you will now be using the standing tackle. Press B to perform a standing tackle, make sure you tackle the players inside the highlighted box, otherwise the drill will end. Time your tackles otherwise you will foul the player and the drill will end.

In this drill there is the same highlighted box around the centre circle as before. There are four attackers with a ball at their feet. The fist attacker to jog will be the one at the top left moving from top to bottom. As you approach him he will feint either left or right so prepare for this so you can time and direct your standing tackle accordingly. Once he's been tackled the player at the top right will jog with the ball from right to left. Again he will feint when you are near to him so be ready. After him the player in the bottom right will dribble from bottom to top before the final player in the remaining corner moves from across the bottom. Just be ready for the feints and you should be fine.

You start with 20 seconds on the clock. You need to get 2,000 points to pass the challenge. You get 200 points per tackle. You will also get a bonus for any time left at the end. If the player dribbles out the other side of the highlighted area the drill ends. Also if you foul the player the drill ends.

Congratulations, you reached the Silver target and unlocked Gold! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Gold Level

In this drill you can use both standing and slide tackles to get the ball away from the attacking team. You get more points if you successfully tackle the ball before the attacker crosses the line at the edge of the box. The drill ends if you allow the attacker to dribble the ball out of bounds and if you tackle the attacker without any ball contact.

This time there are three coins situated outside the penalty area with 3 players standing at the nearest two, and 2 players at the furthest. The first player at the nearest cone will set off in his attempt to dribble the ball off the pitch. You need to intercept him. There are also three lines marked on the pitch that if he gets past you lose points. Once he is tackled the first player at the second cone will dribble to try and pass you, then the person at the far cone before going back to the first and so on.

You start with 50 seconds on the clock and you need to get 7,000 points to pass the challenge. You get points for getting successful tackles in (1,000 if before the player has crossed any of the lines, then 800, 600 or 400 if they have crossed them). You lose points if the players dribble across the lines (-100), or if you miss with an attempted tackle (-100). If the player dribbles off the pitch without you stopping them the drill ends. Also if you foul the player the drill ends.

Congratulations, you reached the Gold target and unlocked the Skill Challenge! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Skill Challenge

In this drill, try to tackle the attacker before they get to the edge of the box. Every time you tackle them they will move to the next starting position. Win the game by tackling all of them after they get to their final starting position but before they dribble into the box. Time your tackles as the attackers will try to evade you. The earlier you tackle the opponent, the more points you will get.

In this drill there are five dashed lines painted across the pitch. At the beginning there are 6 players behind the last one of these. They will try to dribble to cross the line furthest from them and you need to tackle them to prevent them doing this. Once they have been tackled the next time they dribble will be from the next line and so on as they keep getting a starting position nearer to the line they need to dribble over. When you tackle them from their final position they are out and you only have the remaining players to deal with. The order the players run in is completely random. You will not be able to tackle every single runner as it is impossible to cross the pitch in such a short space, especially near the end if the two far dribblers follow each other, so pick and choose your battles.

There is no time limit on this. The challenge ends when you tackle each of the six dribblers 4 times. It may be worth choosing a fast defender from a weaker team so that you face weaker, and slower, dribblers (as they will be of a similar quality to the player you choose).

You get points for each successful tackle, you lose points for each player that crosses the final line (-300).

To get Legendary on this you need 16,000 points. Good luck.

11/13 Goalkeeping

Goalkeeping

Learn how to time your diving when saving penalty kicks and during 1 on 1 situations. Practice your drop kicks and goalkeeper throws. Combine your positioning and diving skills to protect the wall of boxes in the Skill Challenge.

For these challenges you need to choose someone with good GK Diving, GK Reflexes and GK Positioning. Because you can't select a goalkeeper as the arena player it will revert to the number one goalkeeper of that team.

Bronze Level

In this drill, you will be saving Penalty Kicks. Use LS to position your goalkeeper before the back. Use RS to dive. The earlier you press RS, the further your keeper will dive, and the more change you will have to save a ball near to the posts. Press RS at the last moment for more coverage near the centre of the goal.

In this drill you control the keeper and are facing seven penalties. For the first four you will see the aiming indicator of the attacker so you will know where they are hitting the ball. For the last three you will have to guess.

For the first four it is a good idea to walk across the line towards where the attacker is aiming. The only issue with this is if they do a stutter step penalty and send it far the other way. Then when the shot comes in, time your dive to either do a far dive, or a near dive.

For the last three you may want to dive after the ball has been kicked and hope that it is central.

You will face 7 attempts and there will be 1 minute 30 on the clock. You need to get 3,000 points to pass the challenge. You get points for saves. You get 2,000 for your first save in a sequence, 4,000 for your second save in a sequence, 6,000 for your third save in a sequence, etc. The sequence will be broken if you let in a goal, but not if the striker misses the goal. You lose points if you concede a penalty (-2,000). There is no bonus for the time left at the end.

Congratulations, you reached the Bronze target and unlocked Silver! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Silver Level

In this drill, you will perform goalie drop kicks and goalie throws at the targets/boxes on the field. To perform a goalie drop kick press X and to perform a Goalkeeper throw press A. The more boxes you knock over the more points you get.

In this drill you start with the ball in your hands within the area. In front of you, some distance away, are targets and boxes to hit. There are two sets of targets, each behind a player cutout wall, and there are five stacks of boxes, each behind a wide and low box barrier at the front that you aren't meant to hit.

To do well at this challenge you need to use kicks rather than throws. Apart from that it is all about direction and power. Go for the targets first, then the boxes. For the boxes try to hit them low in the stack so that you knock more boxes down and get more points. However this risks you hitting the barrier in front of them. Once you've hit a set of boxes they disappear so that you can't hit that stack again, even if you only managed to dislodge only one box.

You start with 10 attempts and have 2 minutes on the clock. You need to get 6,000 points to pass the challenge. You get points for hitting the targets (1,500), and for knocking over the boxes (200 per box). You lose points for hitting the player cutout walls (-200), and for hitting the barriers in front of the stacks of boxes (-500). There is no bonus for any attempts you have left, or any time you have left at the end.

Congratulations, you reached the Silver target and unlocked Gold! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Gold Level

This is a 1 on 1 drill against 8 different attackers. Each attacker will try to score on you. The next attacker will be activated after a save, goal or if the ball goes out of bounds. You will get points for making saves or collecting deflecting balls out of bounds. You will lose points for every goal they score. To make a save you can use RS or B. To dive at feet press X and to position yourself hold LB.

This time there three cones outside the area, with 3 attackers behind the right and middle cones, and two attackers behind the left cone. They will take it in turns, starting from right to left then back again, to dribble towards the goal and try and score. You need to try and save the ball. The best thing to do is narrow the angle and try to not let them dribble around you. Also watch out that you don't get chipped.

You get up to 2,000 points per save, and 100 points if the shot from the attacker doesn't go in. You also sometimes get points for getting behind a shot even if it goes in. You lose points (-500) for each goal you concede. You need to get 5,000 points to pass the challenge.

Congratulations, you reached the Gold target and unlocked the Skill Challenge! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Skill Challenge

In this drill, many balls will be launched at you from different positions. Use your positioning skills LS and diving skills RS to protect the wall of boxes inside the net. You will have 80 seconds to save as many balls as you can.

This time you are in goal and there are three near ball feeders, one just behind and four far ball feeders. In the goal is a wall of boxes. Once all the boxes have been hit the wall will be replaced.

Each ball feeder will fire in shots at you. The ball feeder in the centre just behind the nearest three only fires in chip shots so for that one go back to the line and jump up to save. For the rest of the feeders try to get behind the ball and prevent the ball from going in and hitting the boxes. Also try not to dive backwards into the goal as you'll knock the boxes down. As the skill challenge goes along the shots will come in quicker.

You get points for saves (1,200). You lose points for conceding a goal (-500 or -750 for a bad one that you should really have saved) and for the boxes being knocked down (-5 per box). Good luck.

To get Legendary on this you need 21,000 points.

12/13 Free Kicks

Free kicks

Curl the ball over, around or under, and learn the mechanics of taking a Free Kick. Learn to use layoff players and dummy runs with Tactical Free Kicks, and in the end do as much destruction as you can in the Skill Challenge.

For these challenges you need to choose someone with good FK Accuracy, Shot Power and Curve attributes.

Bronze Level

Use LS to aim your FK before you power up. Press B for a curled FK or LB + B for a driven FK. The longer you hold B the harder and higher your shot will go. While powering up move LS to add spin. Move it to the sides for left and right curl, up and down for top and back spin, and in between for combinations of side and top or back spin. Extra points will be awarded if you pass the ball over the wall.

In this drill there are four targets in the goal, one in each of the four corners of the goal. You are positioned outside the area and you need to hit them. In between you and the goal is a player cutout wall moving along a rail to make things harder for you.

For the top ones aim and press B with the correct amount of power for your player. For the bottom ones you may want to use the driven FK as these go across the floor. To get it up and over the wall use top spin by pressing LS up while powering up.

You start with 8 attempts and have 2 minutes on the clock. You need to get 10,000 points to pass the challenge. You get points based on how much power you use (the more power, the more points) and how central you hit each target (the more central, the more points). You get points for hitting the target after hitting the ball over the wall (1,000). You will also get a bonus for any attempts you don't use and the time left at the end. You lose points for hitting the player cutout wall (-100).

Congratulations, you reached the Bronze target and unlocked Silver! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Silver Level

In this drill, try to curl the ball around, over, or fire it under the wall and hit as many targets as you can in as few attempts and as little time as possible.

This time there is a static wall in the way of the goal, and 6 targets in the goal instead of four. The wall is elevated so you can use driven free kicks under the wall for the targets on the floor. For the top ones use spin and power.

You start with 9 attempts and 2 minutes on the clock and you need to get 7,500 points to pass the challenge. You get points based on how much power you used (the more power, the more points) and how central you hit each target (the more central, the more points). You will also get a bonus for any attempts you don't use and the time left at the end. You lose 100 points a time if you hit the wall.

Congratulations, you reached the Silver target and unlocked Gold! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Gold Level

For the Gold drill you have some teammates at your disposal. Use LT to control the 2nd kicker, and RB to control the third kicker. To run a player over the ball press B and then press A before you finish powering up. Experiment with different ways to pass and score from the dead ball to earn bonus points and activate targets.

This time there are four different scenarios that you need to hit targets in the goal from.

The first you need to do a layoff pass (A) with the second man (LT). The main kicker then shoots from in the highlighted area to the two targets in the goal on the right.

Once that scenario is passed the second one appears. This is similar. You can pass the ball (A) using the second man again, into the highlighted area, and shoot at the two targets at the left.

The third scenario there is a yellow arrow pointing to the highlighted area you can shoot from. You need to run a man into it so that you can pass to him and he can shoot. You can run over the ball with your first kicker (B, A whilst you are powering up), and he will go into the correct area. Then use the third man (RB) to pass the ball to him. The defender will close your receiver down so be quick to hit one of the three targets. Also you may be outside the highlighted area if the pass is too powerful in which case dribble back into it and then shoot.

For the fourth and final scenario there is a yellow arrow to the right that you need to run a player into so they can shoot. One way you can do this is to have your second man run over the ball, and play it to him with the third man, then shoot and hit one of the three targets.

These are not the only ways to activate targets though so experiment if you want.

You start with 9 attempts and 1 minute 15 seconds on the clock and you need to get 6,000 points to pass the challenge. You get points by hitting the targets. You will also get a bonus for any attempts you don't use, and any time you have left over. You lose points (-200) for hitting the wall.

Congratulations, you reached the Gold target and unlocked the Skill Challenge! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Skill Challenge

Try to clear as many boxes and do as much damage as you can with your free kicks. You have unlimited attempts to clear the goal in the allotted time. If you clear all the boxes they will reset so you can score more points.

This time there a wall in front of you and lots of cardboard boxes stacked up in the goal. The white boxes act as multipliers so you may want to go for the top corner white boxes first, followed by the bottom corner white boxes. After that you can get rid of the remaining boxes. Then once all the boxes are cleared and a fresh wall of boxes is put up so repeat the process by going for the white boxes first. You lose points for hitting the wall (-250). You have two minutes 50 seconds or so. Good luck.

To get Legendary on this you need 50,000 points.

13/13 Penalties

Penalties

Learn about aiming and powering up penalties. Learn how to stutter step or take a chipped penalty. Then use those skills to fool the keeper and knock down the wall of boxes in the Skill Challenge.

For this set of challenges you need to choose someone with good Penalties, Shot Power and FK Accuracy attributes.

Bronze Level

To take a penalty, start powering up using B when the composure meter is in the green. If you miss the composure sweet spot, or over power your shot it will become less accurate. Once you've started powering up you can use LS to aim your penalty. If you hold the LS too long in one direction you run the risk of putting your penalty wide. Try to hit as many targets as you can in 12 attempts.

In this drill there are ten targets in the goal, and you need to hit them in any order. For all of them look at your composure meter at the bottom and the line that keeps moving back and forth across it. You need to time your pressing of the shoot button so that this is in the middle, or the green. After that a blue aiming circle (the aiming indicator) will be in the goal. Direct that to a target but as you move it towards the edge of the goal, it will slide quicker so be careful you don't slide it too far.

If you don't get your composure meter right though, or if you hold B too long then the blue aiming circle will be a massive red circle, and you will have no chance of hitting a target.

You start with 12 attempts and you need to get 7,300 points to pass the challenge. There is no time limit so take your time. You get points based on how much power you use (the more power, the more points) and how central you hit each target (the more central, the more points). You will also get a bonus if you have any spare attempts at the end.

Congratulations, you reached the Bronze target and unlocked Silver! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Silver Level

In this drill, you'll need to chip the ball over the boxes and into the bins. To perform a chipped penalty hold LB and power up with B. The aiming indicator will disappear after your third attempt. Good luck!

In this drill there are four bins in a goal. You need to chip your penalties into them. This time the aiming indicator will only show for the first three attempts. After that you'll have to guess where you are aiming the penalty. Therefore I recommend doing the two outer bins first followed by the back bin, as the near bin is probably the easiest to get the ball into without the aiming indicator.

You start with 11 attempts and 1 minute 45 seconds on the clock and you need to get 5,000 points to pass the challenge. For each bin you get the ball in you get 500 points, except the back bin which is worth 2,000 points. You also get bonus points for the amount of time left, plus the number of attempts you didn't use. Therefore to get maximum bonus try and shoot the first time the composure meter is in the green.

Congratulations, you reached the Silver target and unlocked Gold! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Gold Level

In this game you'll need to use the stutter step penalty kick in order to activate the targets. To do this, power up a shot using B, then during the run up power up using B again. This will cause your player to stutter step and allow you to change your mind on where you want to aim. Once you do a stutter step in your run up some of the targets will activate. You have 8 attempts to hit as many as you can.

There are eight targets in the goal, 4 to the left and 4 to the right. The aiming indicator will disappear after your third attempt.

Because this game is all about changing the direction of your penalty shot the targets that get highlighted are always the ones on the opposite side of where you aimed before doing your stutter step (the targets on the same side will remain greyed-out). Therefore just move your aim a little to one side, do your stutter step and then aim towards the now highlighted targets on the other side.

You start with 8 attempts and you need to get 2,000 points to pass the challenge. You get points based on how much power you use (the more power, the more points) and how central you hit each target (the more central, the more points). There is no time limit.

Congratulations, you reached the Gold target and unlocked the Skill Challenge! You can retry for a higher score, or advance to the next level and drill.

Skill Challenge

Try to clear as many boxes and do as much damage as you can with your penalties in the time allotted. If you clear all the boxes they will reset so you can score more points. The aiming indicators will disappear after your third attempt.

This time there is are two player cutouts moving across the goal, and you have to shoot penalties past them to hit the wall of cardboard boxes in the goal. The white boxes in the four corners of the wall of boxes act as multipliers to whatever else you hit in that kick so you may want to go for the top corner white boxes first, followed by the bottom corner white boxes. After that you can get rid of the remaining boxes by going for the bottom boxes, because they will knock down the ones above, and by using power (although not too much of course otherwise your penalty will shoot over the bar). Then once all the boxes are cleared and a fresh wall of boxes is put up repeat the process by going for the white boxes first. You lose points for hitting the cutouts (-500). You have two minutes so it is a good idea to shoot your penalties as soon as the composure meter is in the green. Good luck.

To get Legendary on this you need 20,000 points.

Practice Arena

The Practice Arena is accessible via Play>+More>Practice Arena.

Clicking on the Practice Arena takes you into the 1 On 1 area that will be familiar to you as the area you access as online matches load up. By pressing the Back button here you can access the Practice Menu that has 5 things on it:

  • 1 On 1
  • Practice Set Piece
  • Practice Match
  • Create Set Piece
  • Select Sides

1 On 1 is you bearing down on the keeper (or you can control the keeper if you want).

Choosing Practice Set Piece will allow you to practice corner kicks, free kicks, throw ins and penalty kicks.

The Practice Match option allows you to play a practice match where you can reduce the number of players on each team so that you can practice scenarios of your choosing.

The Create Set Piece option allows you to customise set pieces from outside the area.

The Select Sides option allows you to play as the attacking team or the defending team.

To exit from the Practice Arena press Start.

EAS Football Club

From the manual:

FOOTBALL CLUB

EA SPORTS(tm) Football Club is your connection to all your friends playing FIFA 14. Stay up to date on their activities through My Alerts and Friends' News, and compare your progress to theirs to try to best them on the leaderboards. You'll receive updates when someone's passed you!

All-new features such as being able to gift unlockables from the Catalogue, quick access to your friends' statuses, and messaging enhance your connection to your fellow FIFA 14 players, making EA SPORTS(tm) Football Club FIFA 14's social network.

Under the Football Club tab you have options for:

The Catalogue contains lots of purchasable unlockables using Football Club Credits (FCC) which can be earned in-game from playing FIFA, along with XP (e.g. starting FIFA = 10 XP and 5 FCC). For more on what is available to purchase here go to EAS FC Catalogue

My Alerts tells you when you have been overtaken by your friends in leaderboards (e.g. Ultimate Team or Skill Games) and provides a quick link (A button) to that game mode so that you can quickly get to it and try and overtake your friends again.

The Leaderboards section shows you where you are in relation to your friends based on the level you and they have reached in EAS FC. Levels go up based on XP earned which come from completing things in-game. Gamers on your friends list who played FIFA 12 and FIFA 13 have an advantage over those who didn't because the level attained in those games carries over to this one. Having a higher level enables you to purchase more items from the EAS FC Catalogue.

You can also toggle between seeing the all time level, or the daily and weekly ratings (based on XP) by choosing the appropriate tab. Also you will be able to see how much XP each of you need to obtain to reach the next level.

Support your Club is a place where your XP and that of other FIFA players who are fans of your favourite club gets averaged out and used to see how your team compares against other FIFA gamers who are supporters of other teams.

On the tile itself you get to see your XP/FCC for the day, your daily XP/FCC Cap (2,000 each unless you complete a challenge (in the Kick Off/Highlights of the Week/Players in form/Teams in form section) which gives you XP over and above this), and today's average XP.

By clicking the tile you get to see how many fans your club has (based on FIFA players who have your club set as their favourite club), their season's points, their projected season points for today based on XP earned so far by its fans, and the time remaining for the daily count to end.

Your team will be ranked based on its real-life league, with the team in that league with the highest average XP for the day getting the most points, and the team with the lowest average XP getting the least points. So for example a 16 team league would yield one point for the team with the least average XP of the day, 2 points for the second least, through to 16 points for the team with the highest average XP of the day. The tallies are then added up over the 7 day season to determine a winner. The day of the current season will be shown at the top (e.g. 3/7). The league table is presented to the side for the current season, and you can toggle between this, the projected table based on today's XP and last season's table using RT/LT. At the bottom you can also see each team's daily average XP so far as you hover over them, and how that compares to your favourite team's daily average XP so far, and if you hover over your own team it compares the team's average XP against your personal daily XP total.

If you support a team from a country where there are multiple divisions in the game (England, France, Germany, Italy or Spain) then there is also promotion and relegation between divisions at the end of each season.

You can also look wider than just the division that your favourite team is in by clicking LB to see the global rankings where the 99 best ranked teams in the world are shown. Here you can see their total fans, plus their location on the world map at the side. By clicking RB you can cycle through all the different leagues, and by clicking X you can change your favourite club, which takes place after the current season ends, although you can only change your favourite club a limited number of times.

The Friends News section shows all the latest things you have got up to in FIFA, and all the latest things that your friends have got up to too. If any are particularly notable you could use the share option to share it with your friends via Facebook.

EAS FC Catalogue

As you play FIFA you earn XP and FCC (to daily limits of 2,000 each). XP helps you level up, and the FCC (Football Club Credits) can be spent on unlocking items from the EAS FC catalogue. The available items are as follows (as at December 2013). Further items may be added in updates. Full descriptions of each item are available to view within the catalogue. XP earned from FIFA 13 an FIFA 12 carries over to this one.

And this year you can also gift items to your friends if you wish.

Gift item to a Friend

(50% off): Purchase this item as a gift for a friend. Gifting an item will still allow you to redeem it yourself.

Your Profile allows you to choose the lead profile, and to choose your favourite team for each profile. You can also see how many games you've played, your win % and your goals scored, although this doesn't include all modes (it doesn't include Ultimate Team).

Replay Theatre

Both online and offline saved replays and highlights are stored here. Press LB to change the storage device of videos, and press Y to upload favourites to www.easportsfootball.com.

Video Upload

Share your moments of glory-or shame-with the rest of the world by uploading your videos to EA SPORTS Football World.

To capture footage of your skills, pause the game and select INSTANT REPLAY. To set a keyframe, press D-Pad up, and press D-Pad left/D-Pad right to move it to your desired position (to delete a keyframe, press D-Pad down). Once you're happy, press Y to upload your video and share it with the Football World community.

Keyframes

Ensure you capture all the action with keyframes. These are individual sections within your video that you can treat differently to the rest of your footage. For instance, you can use a different camera, viewing angle, and speed so that, when you get to a key moment, you can zoom in on the action and capture your moment of glory in slow motion.

The Replay Theatre is where you can view all the videos that you have saved of in-match action. To save a video pause a game and do an instant replay, or at the end of a game go to match highlights, pick out the highlight you want to save and, after getting all the cameras and slow motion parts right (using the keyframes feature), save it.

You can view your video by pressing A, delete by pressing X, upload to http://www.ea.com/soccer (assuming you have XBox Live Gold) by pressing Y or change the storage device by pressing LB.

Custom Music & Chants

Strategies

This section of the guide covers strategies that you can use to make you better at FIFA.

There are many ways you can play football in real life. And there are many ways you can play football in this game too. So strategies are a little down to you. However here are my personal thoughts on ways that could help you.

The word on the FIFA street about this game is that corners and heading, finesse shots and lofted through balls are over powered. Therefore you can try and make the most of these. There was a patch that toned these down but they are still effective.

Pace is less of a factor than it was in FIFA 13.

Popular formations in FIFA have traditionally been 4-1-2-1-2 and 3-5-2, for people who like to score with crosses.

For me I like to play in this game with 4-1-4-1. This gives me a bit of solidity in midfield which I need when playing on higher difficulties in single player. I like to build play up slowly working the ball up the pitch, or sometimes backwards if there is no forward option. The wings are where the space is mostly and as stated crosses, if you get them right, work well, especially from the byline. Otherwise you can play for corners rather than crossing as they are probably more effective.

Alternatively you can work it in the middle, try and draw defenders out of position to make space and play the through ball to the man as he makes his way into the space.

For dribbling, it is a lot harder to turn in this FIFA, especially when you are running, so try not to hold the sprint button all the time.

For defence a lot of people just contain, or teammate contain, as that is effective. The other thing you can do if you aren't near to the player is to try and block potential passing opportunities.

For penalties to save them you can wait for the player to kick it then react to where the ball is going and use RS to move the ball that way. Your keeper won't dive as far as if he had committed to a side earlier but for poorly taken penalties this is a good way to save them.

If you are a beginner to the game then Skill Games is a great place to learn the basics.

Also you can customise your tactics to your personal preference using custom tactics and quick tactics. See Manager Career for more info on these.

Anyway, as with any game, to get better you need to put the practice in. Start with the simple stuff first and then as you become more competent use the advanced Controls listed in this guide. And like I say football is so broad (and this game too) that you could play it completely different from any of what I have said above and still be successful.
