  • David Rutter, Lead Producer on FIFA 14, says of their upcoming game, “We’ve got roughly ten times the animation on Xbox One and PS4 than on current gen consoles. We wanted to improve the behaviours of the players and the AI. A lot of that is around physics and decision making and the way they move, and we’ve got roughly four times the processing of decisions.” So, expect FIFA 14 to be better on next-gen consoles.
