When you’re at the stage of being rich enough to hire Patrick Stewart to perform a soliloquy about balls in a tone somewhere between Henry V and Jean-Luc Picard, it’s probably quite easy to slip into over-confidence. And, to paraphrase from the game’s own commentary, it’s an edition of the series that’s playing “like it has a cigar on.” As Stewart’s voice reaches its powerful and absurd crescendo, you could be forgiven for wondering if you’d accidentally bought the latest expansion for Skyrim or some other similarly melodramatic RPG saga.
In it, Patrick Stewart solemnly intones a sub-Shakespearean verse that even the Sky Sports’ Super Spectacular And Totally Meaningful Sunday crew might find a bit over the top. You can tell just how confident EA Sports are about their position in the football videogame hierarchy by the astonishingly grandiose video which serves as FIFA 14’s introduction.
