FIFA 14: 5 Things We Love (And 4 Things EA Got Wrong)

One notable difference is the chanting. The crowd now add a lot more atmosphere to matches than they did previously, with, for example, spectators at Anfield singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" at various intervals. Once, while playing against Manchester City, the unmistakable chant of "Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone" grew louder and louder, and it is things like this that really improve the overall experience of the game.
