IT’S less than two months until football’s finest hour hits TV screens around the globe, with the World Cup in Brazil. This seminal franchise’s latest release lets you start from the bottom and work your way up the squad list, eventually leading your country through qualifying and onto the biggest tournament in town.

If you’re a newbie to the series, don’t worry, a brand new autopositioning system is here to help, while a host of new control features including Explosive Movement, World Class Control, Response Dribbling and Pinpoint Passing, give experienced players the best chance of exploiting the hundred or so new animations on offer.

Quantity is not something you need to worry about here, and quality is a given too. A whopping 203 national teams, 7,469 players, 19 officially licensed managers, and 21 new stadiums come to life with more detail and authenticity than ever before.
