Defensively, the game-generated players are now much better at deducing a shot before it happens thanks to an increase in their reaction frame. The teams act much more like real professional soccer teams in similar situations, and the control of the individual player is much smoother and detailed. One of the more subtle features of the game is an update to the artificial intelligence of the team structure on the field. Combined, these two updates create a system that is true to reality and form a well-paced, beautifully designed example of the essence of soccer. The main differences are in the player animations and the physics of the ball. The true brilliance of this update from the last version is that it focuses on boosting the realism to levels that had never before been seen in a soccer video game. FIFA 14 is a soccer simulation game within what is arguably the most popular and realistic series of such games, and this version includes several improvements from the previous iteration.
