How this year's version compare to the 2013 version? Is the learning curve steep to someone new who hasn/t played fifa before?

Hi, the differences are in graphics, players, the online game mode, celebrations, etc. The controls never change between versions. If you have the 2013 game the control settings doesn't change.

This year's version is very similar to previous versions in terms of controls. Small differences like ball physics tweaks are new but are only going to cause issues if you're very familiar with an old FIFA title. But I find this one to be easier than 11 for example and very similar to 13. The learning curve is not steep in my opinion. If you've never played FIFA you might get bugged that not everything is going exactly the way you want right away, but after some practice you'll find you can score in creative ways and really enjoy the game

You can't play live online with other users with OptiShot 1. But that seems to be the only difference that I have seen in the recent commercials. With Opti1 you can't tweak the scoring formats at all (not sure if you can with opti2). Courses all look the same but maybe opti2 includes some "premium courses" that you would have to pay for with opti1 ($29.95 per) but the courses you get with opti1 are great. There is no mention of new lasers or anything so I would assume that it's not that much better for the extra $200 unless you really need to play online with other users. Whatever you do remember that it's still a video game. It's pretty far from what would really take place on a real golf course. I definitely can't drive a ball 367 yards with a 159 club head speed in real life but Opti1 thinks I can. My scores and playing partners scores are all over the place with this "simulator". Still a ton of fun though.

I enjoy playing the simulator, but there is a lot of problems I have ran into with both 2013 and also 2014 using Windows 8. Some of the games hang up or lock the computer. I also found that some the scenarios were very hard to complete because of time limit set is to short or the trains need more power in order to keep up the speed in the hills, or just shut down. Another thing. It would be great if they produced a manual to show and explain a lot of the operation. For a beginner like myself. Half the time I am lost and have no ideal of what to do next. Very costly to attempt to purchase add-on to enjoy more of the game.

OK......I went through 2 of the black controllers in a month.....on madden only.....the rubber originally looked dry and soft......wore right off.....I'm currently in the exchange process with sony. I ordered a blue and a red from Japan......on purpose...to see if the controllers differ.......i have had zero problems with the Japanese versions.....don't know why......also both black controllers R2 buttons broke too. I will say yes......your money is well spent on a Japanese model. The rubber seems to be a tougher compound......very big deal to me.

Ive played both versions and yes I definitely recommend buying the new one... Its a good addition to the old ones, plus a good updated list for the words they've kept which is good so young kids could relate to.

No question about it. The European game is far richer and more nuanced (because of the varied geography). The US one is more monotone; get the European version.

I'd recommend rookie to get a feel for the controls, especially for newcomers. Pro for a laid back, but pay attention game (fun if you like 4th quarter comebacks). AllStar for a challenge, and Superstar/Hall of Fame if you are into testing your skills at basketball and fighting A.I. Script. Hope that helps.

As a franchise player as well, if you are on a PS3 I would go with Fifa 13.

The learning curve is quite steep. I recommend thoroughly reading the instructions before playing and also suggest watching playthroughs and reviews on youtube (it helped me quite a bit). You do have to read cards throughout gameplay as well as refer to the rules quite a bit but don't let that deter you. The game is very enjoyable and once you read the rules, set up the game, and play through the first game they set up in the rulebook, it's pretty easy to catch on. The first setup might seem like a bear but it's worth it.

The newer versions are more complete with "new" roads added (such as newly built plats, etc); they are more complete. Other than that, everything else is the same (THANK GOD!) so if you're familiar with an older version, you won't have to re-learn anything. Sure wish Microsoft could do that with at least one version of Windows. :-)

From what I've found, most games are the same if your a beginner. I wouldn't say one is easier than the other

it's one of those games that you can cannonball into. the rulebook is simply written and easy to understand, so once you read over it, you'll be good to go. the hard part is that it's fairly easy to learn, but mastering it is another story entirely :)

I play 2k14 everyday. The X box one version focuses on the my player/my career party. You can only play a team once, no seasobs, dunk cobtest, playoffs or anything. My player is tight.

The newer version is virtually identical to the old. It actually has more words (I think) because each card has 4 'Taboo' words. The only thing I didn't like about the new game were the card holders and the buzzer. The card holders are not separated, so that is inconvenient. The buzzer is no longer a buzzer, but rather it sounds like a dog toy when you squeeze it. So the game is the same, if not better. But the accessories are not what I would have liked. Hope this helps!

No, not to upgrade your skills. The 2013 might have some added features 2007 doesn't. I'm new to QB but enjoying it. Sue

The game controls are not too hard, I find that underwater fighting is really tough without the circle pad pro, however. the game is Japanese and therefore takes a lot of grinding and all the mathematics are in the backroom. Thus, game can be a little difficult to understand at first, but if you use the wiki and like this style then it will feel easy, until you get to the truly terrible monsters.

Yes. Same rules but it's a whole different ballgame. The biggest challenge is to get seasoned NMJL players to agree to play something new, something I've not been able to do. 'Old schoolers' are stubborn.
