2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil (video game)

2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil is the official video game for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, published by EA Sports for the PlayStation 3 andXbox 360.^[1] It was released on April 15, 2014 in North America, April 17 in Europe and Australia, and April 24 in Brazil and Japan, as was the case with the 2010 edition.

Gameplay improvements from FIFA 14 include dribbling, an increased accuracy in passing and first-touch mechanics.^{[citation needed]}

The game's campaign mode, Road to the FIFA World Cup, allows players to play through qualification and the actual FIFA World Cup. For only the second time in the history of World Cup video games the entire qualification series will be playable. The 2010 version only presented the UEFA and CONMEBOL groups in their true to life form. Another mode, Road to Rio de Janeiro, will allow players to compete in an online tournament across the 12 venues of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. It is similar in format to Seasons in FIFA 14 and Expedition mode from UEFA Euro 2012.^[2]

The Captain Your Country, Online FIFA World Cup, Story of Qualifying, and Story of the Finals modes (the latter two integrated with EA Sports Football Club) from the 2010 edition return.^[2]

The game contains all of the 203 national teams that took part in the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification process. The national teams of Bhutan, Brunei, Guam, Mauritania, Mauritius and South Sudan, all of which did not participate in World Cup qualifying, will not be featured in the game.

The game includes all 12 venues used at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, as well as stadiums from each qualifying region and a range of "generic" stadiums.^[3]

EA Sports revealed the soundtrack for the game on April 1, 2014, which featured Brazilian-themed music and artists such as Tinie Tempah and Switchfoot.^[4]

The official song of the World Cup, "We Are One (Ole Ola)" by Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez and Claudia Leitte, was included in the game's opening cutscene, as well as "The World Is Ours" by The X-Factor contestant David Correy (Coca-Cola's theme song for the World Cup).^[5]

Additionally, the game features EA Sports Talk Radio, featuring game-related commentary by Andy Goldstein, Ian Darke and "The Men in Blazers" (Michael Davies and Roger Bennett). This feature is only available in the campaign modes.
