FIFA 14 to feature Messi and Chicharito on North American cover

4.5
The North American cover for FIFA 14 will feature both Lionel Messi and Manchester United's Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez, EA Sports announced. Fans in the US will have the option of the dual-athlete cover or the global cover, which only features Messi. Hernandez will also have his own solo cover art for the game in Mexico.

The FIFA cover was announced as part of a multi-year endorsement deal signed by Hernandez with EA Sports. The publisher noted that Hernandez will specifically appear on Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game. EA Sports also recently announced that New Jersey Devils goalie Martin Brodeur won the cover vote for NHL 14.

The FIFA series has a distinct trend in terms of its cover athletes. Messi seems much more distraught this year compared to the FIFA 13 cover. It's likely that he's fully taken over the "angry shouting guy" duties previously held by Wayne Rooney as recently as FIFA 12. If the trend holds up, we await a ticked-off Chicharito on the box for FIFA 15.

I love this cover, should have Falcao or Balotelli on there for once. Messi isn't the only great player in the world. FIFA 15 should have Neymar & El Sharaawy, that would be insane.

Zuki Surprised Ronaldo isn't on there


I know right, he is amazing, why not get rid of Messi, he's had his hour of power.

Katsumi Agreed. Messis picture doesn't look very good at all


I don't think that there's a problem with the image, even though it makes him look like a thug, I think it's more that the two images don't really blend well. Chicarito really doesn't look very enthusiastic either.
