FIFA 14 launched
MWEB GameZone and EA officially launched one of this year's most anticipated gaming titles, FIFA 14, in Cape Town last week. The MCave, located at MWEB's head office in Parow was bustling with excitement as guests got a first-hand try at the title's notable improvements and additional features.
"FIFA Gamers have been looking forward to seeing what the latest title has in-store," said MWEB GameZone manager, Desmond Kurz.
"With the release of significant features, particularly pure shot mechanics and real ball physics, EA has taken this game to another level."
The new features had guests entertained for hours as they eagerly took on the gaming pro FIFA players for their try at a win of some prizes including ROCCAT headsets, Gunnar Glasses, Mad Catz MLG controllers to name a few.
"There are now more teams and divisions than ever before and the addition of legends to the ultimate team mode is definitely going to attract gamers to FIFA 14," said Western province FIFA pro Morne Roman.
FIFA 14's nod of approval was made apparent by the guest's loud cheers and enthusiastic participation in the "challenge a pro" mini-tournaments.
"I am so excited about this game, thanks so much MWEB and EA for this awesome opportunity," said Jason Murphy, who was one of the lucky winners of MWEB's Golden Ticket competition which gave 30 fans the chance before the launch to enter a competition to be there on the night and experience FIFA 14 before anyone else.
Another successful launch of a highly sought after gaming title sees e-Sports growing on both a local and international scale. "e-Sports are starting to be taken more seriously now with the recognition of the skill and effort that is needed to play well. This year saw SASCOC grant e-sports tier one status which means gaming is now affiliated with the same repute as physical field sports such as rugby and cricket," said Kurz. "We are proud to be a part of this growth in e-sports and look forward to what's to come."
