I enjoy a lot of different sports titles. Probably the two types of sports most deeply engrained in my video game psyche are basketball and football. I have logged more hours than I would ever want to count on titles like Madden, NBA 2K, Tecmo Bowl and NBA Live. Other types of sports make their way into my living room now and then. I pick up a golf, baseball or hockey game every few years. One series that was completely new to me until recently was the FIFA soccer franchise.
I had a chance to play FIFA 14 on the PlayStation 4 shortly after the console released, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. There was a steep learning curve, but the tutorials did a good job helping to get my feet wet without overwhelming me. It also did a good job of getting me excited about the series in general, which is why I have to say I was anticipating 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil quite a lot.
Licensed games have a habit of being average, forgettable titles curtailed by the expense of their origins. World Cup and UEFA titles are no different with the majority sinking into the oblivion of the middle-ground. There are some exceptions though - here are the very best and very worst World Cup video games.
I've a soft spot for the 2002 world cup game mainly because it was the last time we graced the competition with our presence
19 year-old German Patrick Hadler emulated his countries success at this summer’s World Cup and has the highest margin of victory against a computer on EA SPORTS 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil on PlayStation®3 - 321 – 0!

Dominates their own (last months) gold deals. These games are old and can be found cheaper elsewhere. (For physical copies)
The Naval Strike maps are well worth picking up and Second Assault. Wouldn't bother with the World Cup game.
