2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil is a reworked version of FIFA 14 tailored for the world cup event in Brazil. Fully licensed as usual, it includes all 203 official FIFA country teams, their players and the real stadia. The different game modes include the qualification phase, exhibition matches, and the world cup itself. It is also possible to alter history and qualify with a team that did not make it to the real world cup. There is a mode to become the captain of your country where an individual player goes through training and matches competing against other team members to become captain. Road to Rio de Janeiro allows players to compete in an online tournament across the 12 venues of the cup. There are various kill games and both offline and online multiplayer matches are supported. EA Talk Radio offers a selection of duos that provide commentary for matches.
Despite extensive borrowing from FIFA 14 , there are also a number of changes. The players have new animations, and the crowds have details and attributes related to their countries' teams and colours. The real coaches have been simulated, and the game often cuts away to scenes of fans celebrating at home. The defense AI has become looser, making it easier to break through. Long distance shots are now more likely to score, leading to more spectacular goals. However, keepers have received an ability boost to prevent scores from getting out of hand. Penalties have been made easier to perform, but keepers have more options to distract the strikers. Scoring from corners has become harder as defenders will jump up and block attackers' movements. Crosses are now more often intercepted, and headers feel less overpowered compared to previous titles. The game mechanics have also been made more accessible with increased accuracy in passing and first-touch mechanics.
