FIFA 14 Store

Also here is the FIFA 14 Store: From the FIFA 14 Store you can purchase DLC. The available DLC are listed together with their cost in Microsoft Points which will then convert to local currency:









As to whether these are worth it is up to you, although if you are going to buy 24 gold premium packs using FIFA Points anyway then the Season Ticket works out as better value.

Online Settings

The Online Settings allow you to check your EA Origin account details which are the details you need to access the web app for things like Ultimate Team.

Creation Centre

The Creation Centre is the place for creating your own teams (e.g. to resemble the team you might be in, in real life), players and tournaments (e.g. J-League). Use your downloaded teams in:

• Tournaments
• Kick-Off
• Unranked Head to Head
• Career (requires the Career Mode Pack, available in the FIFA 14 Store)

Assign downloaded players to any club in Customise>Edit Teams>Club Transfers.

Use your downloaded tournaments in:

• Tournament
• Career - Leagues only (requires the Career Mode Pack, available in the FIFA 14 Store

Edit Teams

For Edit Teams you can swap players around, or if you wanted to make your Career super realistic you could change clubs' stadia to their real-life names and swap the generic stadia to get the most realistic stadium for each club (although the teams that play in their real life stadium can't be moved):

Stadium	Capacity
Akaaroa Stadium	21,000
Aloha Park	10,000
Arena D'Oro	20,000
Arena del Centenario	24,000
Court Lane	22,500
Crown Lane	26,000
Eastpoint Arena	54,000
El Libertador	57,500
El Monumento	75,000
Estadio Nacional	30,000
Estadio President G.Lopes	27,000
Estadio de las Artes	50,000
Euro Park	15,000
Forest Park Stadium	28,000
Ivy Lane	29,000
La Canchita	37,000
Molton Road	20,000
O Dromo	55,000
Sanderson Park	35,000
Stade Kokoto	35,000
Stade Municipal	26,500
Stadio Classico	25,500
Stadio Comunale	62,500
Stadion 23. Maj	22,000
Stadion Europa	52,000
Stadion Hanguk	60,000
Stadion Neder	18,500
Stadion Olympic	70,000
Town Park	12,000
Union Park Stadium	25,000
Waldstadion	43,000

If interested in this you may want to use the list of stadium names and best fits for generic stadia from here to really make your Career mode the most authentic experience it can possibly be: http://forum.ea.com/uk/posts/list/2575192.page

Profile

Your Profile allows you to choose the lead profile, and to choose your favourite team for each profile. You can also see how many games you've played, your win % and your goals scored, although this doesn't include all modes (it doesn't include Ultimate Team).

Replay Theatre

The Replay Theatre is where you can view all the videos that you have saved of in-match action. To save a video pause a game and do an instant replay, or at the end of a game go to match highlights, pick out the highlight you want to save and, after getting all the cameras and slow motion parts right (using the keyframes feature), save it.

You can view your video by pressing A, delete by pressing X, upload to http://www.ea.com/soccer (assuming you have XBox Live Gold) by pressing Y or change the storage device by pressing LB.
