Players can now adjust their approach angle, along with their stride and pace before taking a shot.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Pure Shot feature, FIFA 14 will also introduce a new physics system called Real Ball Physics, which is said to produce much more realistic ball reactions and trajectories that would be found in a real life scenario.<\/p>\n<p>The way in which you approach and strike the ball will determine the flight path and trajectories of the shot \u2013 this opens more shooting options and angles to score from. Players will now be able to strike the ball with force from distance, drill low rising shots with accuracy, and blast dipping, or swerving shots.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More FIFA 14 features:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Protect The Ball:<\/b> Dominate midfield and dictate the tempo of a match. Fend-off and block defenders from the ball while dribbling at any speed. Protect the ball from opponents to control play through midfield and dictate the pace of the match. Plus, out-muscle opponents for position before receiving the ball, then turn defenders to carve out opportunities.<\/li>\n<li><b>Teammate Intelligence:<\/b> Better decision-making delivers tighter, smarter marking and improved run tracking. Defenders recognize opportunities to provide support and win back possession. Attacking players have new ways to outsmart their opponents and break down tighter, more intelligent defences by creating space for themselves, running along the backline and checking their pace.<\/li>\n<li><b>Sprint Dribble Turns:<\/b> Utilize quick, explosive cuts and turns to beat defenders one-on-one while sprinting with the ball. Players can move in any direction, preserving their natural momentum and maintaining possession of the ball.<\/li>\n<li><b>Variable Dribble Touches:<\/b> The First Touch Control of dribbling varies a player&#8217;s touch when dribbling with pace. Skilled players have the touch and control to stand out while less skilled players will experience fewer perfect touches and more uncertainty dribbling, creating opportunities for defenders to win back possession, and placing emphasis on building play through midfield.<\/li>\n<li><b>2nd Chance Tackles:<\/b> The tackling zone has been extended to enable defenders to combine different types of tackles, recover from missed tackles quickly, and have a second chance to compete for the ball in any tackling situation.<\/li>\n<li><b>Curling Lofted Through Balls:<\/b> Players have the ability to curl the ball around opponents to deliver precision passes to teammates or send the ball into space.<\/li>\n<li>Skill Games: A competitive practice mode that enable players to learn or master the fundamental skills necessary to compete at FIFA 14. Become a better player, faster, no matter what your skill level, competing against yourself or friends in all-new mini-games.<\/li>\n<li><b>Career Mode:<\/b> Search for talent year-round with the new Global Scouting Network that brings the world of professional scouting to life.
