A report out of Spain claims EA Sports will show FIFA 14 to the press this week at an event in Madrid, with an embargo on details lifting on April 17. Assuming FIFA 14 releases sometime around September, as previous entires have, the timing seems plausible, so expect new details soon. All we’ve heard about the new entry to date is that it is “huge”, and will emphasise social features alongside traditional single-player modes; we’re not even sure if it’ll be current or next-gen.
