A free-to-play (with optional microtransactions) soccer game released as a spin-off to the FIFA series. This title was produced by EA Canada, an Electronic Arts subsidiary. It expands on the ideas from the popular FIFA Ultimate Team game mode. FIFA World lets players build their own soccer team based on football players cards won in tournaments or bought in the in-game store.
Note: On July 14, 2015 Electronic Arts closed servers and the game is not further developed.
FIFA World is another edition of the very popular and well-known among the fans virtual football series for which success the Canadian EA Sports studio is responsible. This time, however, unlike the full-fledged, annual editions, the game is based on the free-to-play business model.
The game is based on the popular module of FIFA Ultimate Team – a special sport mode in which they players are to collect cards and trade them with other players, striving to build the best team, paying attention to the statistics of individual players and their team play. Using their own teams, they take part in Online Seasons, where the goal is to try to advance to higher and higher leagues by battling other players, or the try to take on the Team of the Week composed of players controlled by the computer AI, selected by the developers based on the current form presented by their actual counterparts in the live league.
Another game mode is Real Teams where we take control of one of 600 licensed clubs from 31 class leagues from around the world and play in the Seasons Online created on the model of a similar mode known from FIFA Ultimate Team.
In technical terms, the game does not present such a quality as the annual editions of the FIFA games. Improved collision system, better physics engine, new system of taking shots or the advanced capabilities of the defense are not there. Limitations also affected the visual layer, where the differences between a full-fledged game and FIFA World can be seen in the animation of the players or the reactions of the public located on the stadium. Thanks to this, however, hardware requirements were significantly reduced and the game works just fine even on a several years old computer or laptop.
The production utilizes a system of micropayments made with so-called FIFA Points that can be exchanged for new sets of cards or tokens entitling to play more matches on a given day. To start playing, you must have an Origin account and download the game client. During the game, you need to have constant access to the Internet.
