First Impressions (Xbox 360)

Oh ok. What about the chants? Are they louder this year?

too loud if anything, but definitely louder.

I dropped the custom chant volume to 1 and left everything else at 10 and still the chants over-powered the in-game crowd and even the commentary. So I've had to go back into my PC and lower the volumes of all my chants, burn a CD and rip them all onto the Xbox and save all the playlists, and the chants were still too loud.

Lowered the volumes of all my chants again and this has done the trick but I've still had to keep the custom chant volume in the audio settings menu at 1 with everything else at 10.

Still feel the custom chants in Fifa 12 were the best (when the favourite player chants happened sporadically throughout the game, after a good tackle etc, rather than just after each goal.)

Also has anyone else noticed that if you use the "anthem" and "positive" chants, then happen CONSTANTLY throughout the game. This was really irritating when the chants were too loud as it completely ruined my first few games of Fifa 14. If I use the "Motivational" chant then that hardly ever occurs. I've heard it once when I was 4-1 down.

Hope EA address these issues on the next update

I started a career with wolves and that's when I started noticing the problems. I'm not that bothered by the gameplay it took some getting used to but the scouting is annoying as hell!

Ur constantly getting emails reporting back players who most of them are crap! You get about 6 emails every time u advance and then you have to scout each individual player to see they're stats n value. Now wen the transfer window only lasts a month and it takes scouts 3 weeks to find out value n stats jst for u 2 find the player isn't wat u were looking for u then have to either buy a crap player or go without.

You might think you can scout players in advance before windows open but nope I tried this just to find that the reports expired! Career mode is now more stress than fun. I imagine if ur managing a big club it wouldn't be so difficult but I like to start with small teams and work my way up
