EA Sports released a demo of the upcoming FIFA '14 and it has the Daily Mirror Football seal of approval with analysts saying the game's new features are significantly different from its predecessor game.

"The new features look good, most importantly the actual gameplay is significantly different in Fifa 14 that it feels like progress has been made," the Daily Mirror writes.

"The worst thing about Fifa 13 was that it did just feel like a patched version of Fifa 12, without the major physics engine bugs (though it still had some issues in this area). But changes to the through-ball function last year meant that it was no longer so easy to win by merely employing the use of a pacey winger and striker."

Free to download and play, the FIFA 14 demo sees eight teams available to gamers, with the Premier League's Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspurs joined by a selection of European and American giants, TrustedReviews.com reports.

United Kingdom retailer GAME has announced plans to open 300 of its stores at midnight on September 27 for the launch of FIFA 14, leaving gamers wondering if retailers in the United States will take similar measures.

The retailer will also host lock-in events at 50 of its stores between September 8 and September 22.

EA Sports has released a television commercial for FIFA '14, headlining Drake throughout the trailer and showing him playing the highly-anticipated game.

The developer also released a list of the Top 50 players in FIFA '14 and has ranked Messi and Ronaldo in first and second place respectively.

The developer's ranking caused controversy when they ranked Gareth Bale, the world's highest paid soccer player, at No. 17 with a rating of 87.
