FIFA 14 Launch!

Yes, I am a soccer football fan and I love FIFA. In fact, I am so addicted to the game that unless I play one match, my day just doesn't pass. Until FIFA 13, everything was running fine, except for the disaster of FIFA 11 on PC which actually, sucked!
The reason why I hated FIFA 11 was that there was hardly any improvement on the features except for the gameplay engine that came from the one which was on FIFA 10 for PS2/3 already. I mean, WTF! we needed something that could be evolutionary and not you just a minor improvement.
Now, FIFA 14 comes up and by far, and is surely a boner! FIFA 13 was a really huge improvement to FIFA 12 based on gameplay, the features and the brand new Career Mode screen. Now, FIFA 14 guarantees a whole new engine for gameplay called the EA SPORTS IGNITE engine. This guarantees better movement, collisions and lot of other technical, realistic physics stuff. The new skill shot delivery option lets you control about what kind of shot you wanna take. And the concept of Live Worldwide Scouting in Career mode sounds way awesome that we had played till date.
For a full list of features, you can always check the EA SPORTS FOOTBALL website.
Here's the trailer:
And how about few screens?

Frankly, I can't wait to get my hands on this...

Why Goal line technology is a necessity?

Ohkay now, that's enough. UEFA and FIFA have made every possible solution to the ghost goal problem, but there seems to be no other choice than to implement the goal line technology.

Such blunder happened in FIFA World Cup 2012, when Frank Lampard's shot from distance bounced inside the goal, but was dis allowed. There has been much noise about goal line technology since this incident.
Similar thing happened at the White Hart Lane during the semi finals of the FA Cup in 2012. Where, celebration of Juan Mata "gifted" Chelsea a goal from Rowan Atkinson.

Till the technology develops, UEFA appointed two referees at two goals, so as to avoid this problem. But the match of 20th June 2012, John Terry's hectic clearance confused the goal-referee, and was not able to make the correct decision. Though we find that, the striker was offside when receiving the ball, but that was not a case as it wasn't lifted by the assistant at all.

In both cases, it was England who were affected, and happened in a major tournament. In the World Cup, fate was against them, and in EURO 2012, it was with them.

The goal referee of the match between England and Ukraine at EURO 2012 being trolled :P
