Fut Coins in FIFA have become a bit flaccid over the years, with the fans looking like cardboard cut-outs jumping up and down, as only one of their many visual problems. EA started to make amends to this with FIFA 14 on the Nextgen consoles but they are now taking their next, and biggest, step with the World Cup title.

The crowd rendering in the game is completely new and brings with it more flags, chants and animations than we’ve ever seen in a FIFA title before. It’s not a big change to FIFA but it is frustrating when you score a 40-yard screamer, only to see the fans respond with a gentle jump and cheer.

FIFA Coins XBox 360 describes the changes as bringing the World Cup atmosphere alive but it won’t quite mimic the responses we see in the real world, particularly as South American fans are notoriously patriotic and a little bit crazy. That said, it will bring the game to life a bit more and we will be able to enjoy England winning the World Cup in as much of a realistic fashion as possible.

Another notable difference in the official gameplay trailer was the improvements of the AI goalkeepers, which is a welcome relief. Every year improvements are made to the goalkeepers in the game but every year there are still huge problems with them, the next stage of improvements is unlikely to erase the issues altogether but it marks the next step in the development of the franchise title.

The good news is that the goalkeepers have made vast improvements over the last five years and they will continue to do so, hopefully at some point in the future we will be rewarded for our patience with goalkeepers in the game that are able to complete simple tasks. EA’s next edition of the game will bring more improvements with it and reduce our frustration levels, we hope.

Runescape 3 Gold with the modifications elsewhere in the game to set-pieces, aerial balls and training, we should see some improvements with the goalkeepers. However, the one concern is the real ball physics – if keepers in the real world complain about the balls we use, how do our virtual shot-stoppers have any hope? We predict an increase in the amount of screamers.
