Summary ... yes to FIFA 14 on 360 ... Yes to FIFA 14 on XB1 ... Yes to selling the 360 + FIFA 13.


You know, this is an option I hadnt really considered yet, i mean theres not really much to lose other than the drop in value of FIFA14 in 2 months, so we are maybe talking 50% retail value max ie no big deal.   Hmm I guess it brings me back to the moral stance of not over funding EA  :-\   Oh I take it you meant selling 360+'14 in that last bit?

Stupid question but wondered if someone could spell it out for me.  For Fifa14 on Xbox One, could you be drawn against 360 players? or are the 2 consoles separate in that sense.   Kinda confused, if you can transfer your account over then im kinda guessing it must be cross-platform #confused

That is quite interesting.  I don't know much about it, and found the whole foundation idea very 'pleasing' on the surface.
The old 'filthy-rich guy, uses wealth to address issues ignored by governments' idea appealed greatly to me.

I have heard criticism levelled at him about the way in which the foundation blindly invests it's assets for maximum return, but no about the way it spends it's money.

It's a shame if the guy can't even use his wealth/power to help address the world's problems in the right manner.

I think it is that to an extent, but from what I remember there is the investment aspect plus certain ethical questions over where the investments were going in terms of areas of research (and the layers at work underneath the areas of research, if that makes sense).

It's been a year or so, so I've tried to sear most of the research from my memory to get back to some level of normal ;), but I could dig out the sources I used if it's of interest and PM them?

There is also the academic political/social bias against most corporate ventures to consider. It should be looked at from a neutral, critical perspective, but rarely is.


@Eric: just a guess, but I would think there would be no 360-One crossover in terms of gameplay, as they're built on different engines, but the market will be shared? Just a guess though.

Only if they're to hand mate.   Otherwise don't worry about it.  I can dig on t'internet if I'm that bothered  ;D

Yeah - would sell the package. Thankfully though, the likes of FIFA 14 would probably keep 75% of it's value still. "New" 2nd-hand games in NZ keep their value quite well for a few months. Could sell it alone, if need be, only losing 25-30%.

Stupid question but wondered if someone could spell it out for me.  For Fifa14 on Xbox One, could you be drawn against 360 players? or are the 2 consoles separate in that sense.   Kinda confused, if you can transfer your account over then im kinda guessing it must be cross-platform #confused

They are separate mate. Should you own both, you'd only play against 360 opponents on the 360 and likewise on the XB1. That's probably the one driver around how long we'd keep the 360 for.

Thanks for the replies so far, it's genuinely helped and I'd be keen to hear more about what others have planned.

I think I've boiled it down to:

1 -stick it out with PS3 until next year and avoid all possible headaches

2 -stick it out with PS3 until XBox1 release and cross over at that point, if they have already started releasing Legends on 360 and reports are good regarding how they play in-game, if they are playable in a few different modes, and if they haven't had a significant negative effect on the Xbox market

-if all the ifs in 2 have not been answered by next-gen release, then probably wait and catch up with PS4/FIFA 15/Legends next year when they roll it out across consoles



So yeah, clear as mud  ;D

My plan is, buy GTA5 for the PS3, trade on the web app up until I get a PS4 (most likely be christmas) then only buy fifa 14 for that. But i'll probably end up getting 14 for the PS3 and selling it once I get the PS4  ;D

Unlike Kiwi though I plan on keeping my current gen console as GTA5 will no doubt take months to complete, so I wan't to get as much play time on that as possible, unless the gakai system everyone has been talking about will let me play GTA5 on the PS4? Not sure if it will or not  :-[
Jaja WAS the silver Ibra. :(

Are you sure they're seperate Kiwi? Because i'm pretty sure the market is combined with the 2 consoles, i.e. you can buy someone's card on their 360 on your xbox one.

I'll be getting GTA and Fifa next month and sticking with the PS3 for at least another year. Only worry is that it'll start to get difficult to get opponents on Fifa after Christmas time. GTA should last me at least 6 months and my girlfriend will play GTA as well.
At least they seem to be changing UT for the first time since I started playing on Fifa 11 so looking forward to experimenting more with different formations without the need for messing around with formation cards.
I'm thinking Fifa 15 will be on PS4 for me.

Hey Carlos, the market is the same, your club too. However, your opponent is going to be console specific.

Unless I've read it wrong, but it doesn't make sense how you can compete across 2 different consoles (i.e. PS3 v PS4 or 360 v XB1).

herez my plan,

- try to sell fut13 coins, save up some for 14.
- keep trading on webapp until game is released, then trade in fifa13 to get fifa14 for ps3 (might be the ultimo edition)
- trade in bf3 for bf4
- keep playing both on ps3
- buy x1 when titanfall is released
- sell ps3 and fifa14 and switch to ps4 and fifa14 around early sept :)

at some point in life, i had 2 ps3, 1 x360, 2 psp, 1 wii, 2 ps2 - all at the same time, missus made me sell all of em, except ps3.
so i am entitled to get both ps4 and x1, which i will do...
