How this year's version compare to the 2013 version? Is the learning curve steep to someone new who hasn/t played fifa before?

Hi, the differences are in graphics, players, the online game mode, celebrations, etc. The controls never change between versions. If you have the 2013 game the control settings doesn't change.

This year's version is very similar to previous versions in terms of controls. Small differences like ball physics tweaks are new but are only going to cause issues if you're very familiar with an old FIFA title. But I find this one to be easier than 11 for example and very similar to 13. The learning curve is not steep in my opinion. If you've never played FIFA you might get bugged that not everything is going exactly the way you want right away, but after some practice you'll find you can score in creative ways and really enjoy the game

If you haven't played before, I would start with the original. It's much easier to understand. Once you have the hang of that or get bored with USA plus expansion pack, then switch to Europe!

The newer version is virtually identical to the old. It actually has more words (I think) because each card has 4 'Taboo' words. The only thing I didn't like about the new game were the card holders and the buzzer. The card holders are not separated, so that is inconvenient. The buzzer is no longer a buzzer, but rather it sounds like a dog toy when you squeeze it. So the game is the same, if not better. But the accessories are not what I would have liked. Hope this helps!

The learning curve is quite steep. I recommend thoroughly reading the instructions before playing and also suggest watching playthroughs and reviews on youtube (it helped me quite a bit). You do have to read cards throughout gameplay as well as refer to the rules quite a bit but don't let that deter you. The game is very enjoyable and once you read the rules, set up the game, and play through the first game they set up in the rulebook, it's pretty easy to catch on. The first setup might seem like a bear but it's worth it.

I did not have the older version, but my friend who is also a professional photographer says there is a world of difference between the sharpness in the newer version and the older one. I actually purchased the new based on his recommendation.

I cannot dance what so ever, but I picked this up pretty quickly. This is a bit tricky at first, but just stick with it and you will learn quickly. I think it has a menu option where it shows you the basic moves (I can't remember for sure). I have had this game for a long time and it is one of the few I still use. My daughter and I use it and we love it, it's a lot of fun and doesn't even seem like you are working out.

The game is really fun. The caveat is that the learning curve is a bit steep. We didn't let that stop us from playing. We learned a bit more each time we played and also learned by watching videos on YouTube. I hope that helps.

Its a step up from beginners ' cuz it is a reaction ball, but then u have the more expensive balls.. I would say its for experienced players

To be honest, no. It's difficult, but difficult in a way that's often very rewarding for a player when the time and effort is put in to learn monster attack patterns and optimal attack strategies per weapon. There are guides all over the internet and on YouTube to help a new player out with these things; I recommend ProJared's Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate videos for help starting out, and then a good search of whatever weapons a new player wants to pick up to see them in action. My first night playing I knew nothing and it took several hours for my group to down our first big monster, but then I watched, listened and practiced and the next night we played I was fantastic, knew where to go, how to hit and was prepared for everything that could be thrown at us. It's not easy to play, but it feels really, really good when you start to master it.

My wife and I found the learning curve to be steeper than other cooperative games we had tried like Pandemic and Eldritch Horror. The hardest part is learning how to maximize your plays, and not just waste turns.

It is pretty much the same game as the older version... the only difference my family and I noticed is the "buzzer" is more of a squeaker. We had fun playing!

I don't know the FIFA.com one but this one is real garbage : very cheap and ugly model; smells like very bad chemical on top of that (not to mention mine arrived broken). 60USD wasted; this is not even worth 10...

I have not owned the first edition of the game, but from what I understand after a lot of research before I purchased was that it is basically the same game. Some inconsistencies were corrected and the characters were designed slightly differently, but it is basically the exact same game. Just updated slightly.

No Melany it's not. But it's fascinating. As a rank beginner I thought it might be, so I bought it and took it to the club for them to see. There might some clubs that use this but ours plays National rules and apparently they published and distribute late in February.

Because the game is quite old, certain formats only allow certain sets to be played. 2014 is current, so it can be used in "standard" play. 2013 cannot. 2014 is the better purchase

depends on how long, nature of the games being played, and what functions are being used. For a 10 year old playing FIFA14, it will last about 2-3 hrs.
