Gameplay
Gameplay
Gameplay improvements from FIFA 14 include dribbling and increased accuracy in passing and first-touch mechanics. The game's campaign mode, Road to Rio de Janeiro, allows players to play through qualification and the actual FIFA World Cup. For only the third time in the history of World Cup video games, the entire qualification series is playable. The 2010 version only presented the UEFA and CONMEBOL groups in their true to life form. Another mode, Road to Rio de Janeiro, allows 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. 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 returned to the 2014 edition. For the first time in the FIFA series, coaches as well as spectators, either in the stadium or through FIFA Fan Fest and generic viewing events worldwide, are included to improve the immersive feeling. Coaches and spectators will react to happenings on the pitch, from scoring a goal to getting a card and winning the World Cup. Then-FIFA president Sepp Blatter even appears to present the World Cup trophy to the captain of the winning team at the final.

Reception
Reception
2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil received "mixed or average" reviews from critics, according to Metacritic.
Platforms criticism
Platforms criticism
The game was criticised for being available on only a few platforms. Despite releasing the game during the eighth generation of video game consoles, Electronic Arts decided against developing versions of the game for the PlayStation 4, the Xbox One or PC, as there were several major regions in the world where such systems were not adopted widely enough, especially the host country, Brazil. Due to this criticism, on 29 May 2014, EA released 2014 FIFA World Cup as a new game mode for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of FIFA 14. For the PC, EA released 2014 FIFA World Cup as an update for FIFA Online 3 on 27 May 2014.
