"The first word that comes to mind when describing FIFA 14 is "shiny"; that is, not particularly 'polished.' The whole theme this year seems to be 'Look at me, I’m adorable.

To what extent do endless possibilities and variations help make the core game better? And at what point do they become a distraction instead?"
