4. Pure Shot Mechanic
As well as the improvement to heading the ball, striking has also come on leaps and bounds thanks to the new "pure shot mechanic". Wayne Rooney's bicycle kick against Manchester City, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's overhead kick against England, Jonathan de Guzman's 30-yard freekick against Valencia last night - a scorching goal can set the whole footballing community abuzz. And EA have taken special care to make sure such goals can be replicated in FIFA 14 by transforming the way goals are scored, making finding the back of the net with a humdinger all the more rewarding. Pure shot allows the player to connect with the ball with the perfect strike and thanks to improved ball physics, you will never score the same goal twice. Which makes those one-off wonder-goals all the more appreciable.
