Many people have noticed that goals in FIFA 14<\/strong><\/a> from finesse shots<\/strong> and headers<\/strong> from corners and crosses are really common, and EA has now said it will re-balance the gameplay in an update soon.<\/p>\n

The gameplay issues identified are:<\/p>\n

\u2022 The effectiveness of headers from corner kicks and crosses.
\n\u2022 The effectiveness of finesse shots.
\n\u2022 The accuracy of lofted through-balls. <\/strong><\/p>\n

EA promises to make some changed to these areas soon, which could result in more realistic match results.<\/p>\n

Unlike PES 2014<\/strong><\/a>, FIFA 14 is still a really fast soccer game. Player strength is supposed to be able to dictate the pace of a game – the new Protect the Ball feature is designed so you can block other players while running with the ball to keep possession. This should mean strong players can keep the pace of a game down, but it’s not really the case.<\/p>\n
