I'll have to be gone at 12:15 but if we can squeeze one in then, I'm game!

[brenchill]

Nerf, I've sent you a few invites.

I can always make time in the mornings. Probably shouldn't, but I do. Fuck working.

[Nerf]

On my way!

I've bought the PC version, here's hoping everyone on there is as absolutely fucking terrible as I'm likely to be.

In similar vein, I've just gone and bought the PS3 version on a whim. The 90% of you who are XBox types will be glad to be immune from suffering the horrors of my incompetence.

I scored a really good goal and uploaded the replay to my EASFC account. Please enjoy the video that I was presented with after checking my media online.

I really can't get to grips with this version. My team never press as much as the opposition, I feel like I get punished for slide tackles since even when they connect, they ball always ends back up with the opponent and defending corners feels impossible.

Still, I shall persevere

Good news for you chipped through balls fans:

• Balancing lofted through balls.
• Balancing attacking headers.
• Balancing finesse shots.
• Improved defender switching during crosses.
• Freezes while making substitutions during gameplay.
• Freezes while entering and exiting Leaderboards.
• Improvements made to Dynamic Camera.
• Corrected crowd sections in Signal Iduna Park.
• Corrected “Any” and “GK” filters in Pro Clubs.

We’ve responded to the community and upgraded FIFA 14 cover star Stephan El Shaarawy to 4* Skills in Online Seasons, Head to Head, and Career Mode using EA SPORTS Football Club Match Day. Since the FIFA 14 Ultimate Team ratings and database are separate from the Match Day Update, he will be assessed and potentially upgraded in FUT at a later date.

Buuuuuuut

We've located some of the issues causing freezing throughout the game, but not all of them. Please continue to let us know about specific instances on the EA forums as your feedback has helped immensely. There are a small percentage of remaining crashing/freezing instances and the team will continue to investigate and address them as needed. Thanks for your patience during this time.

Apparently live on PC now, consoles next week.

Surely it's bad news for chipped through ball fans?

This is $50 new on Amazon right now, for anyone interested. Still a bit much for my blood, but ten bucks in savings is ten bucks in savings.

[Chris2K]

I bought El Shaarawy on FUT today. Stupid bad timing .

[TCO]

No more easy lofted through pass goals!!

[brenchill]

PS3 Co-op lads?

[Baddar]

I'll be there at 11:30 if everyone is still around.

[stokeriño]

Played some of the demo last night (mainly as PSG v Spurs). The fact that I actually started scoring some goals makes me wonder if the game took pity and switched my difficulty level from Intermediate to Beginner without telling me...

But if not, yay some-sort-of-very-minor-progress.

[brenchill]

I am finding it much easier to score on this game. In comparison, FIFA '13 keepers were superhuman.

[brenchill]

Just realised Wales are in this year's game!

[Nerf]

You mean Bales?

[TCO]

If we do it fast, I can get a game in at 11:30!

[Baddar]

Let's do it. One of you work out how to set it up beforehand!
