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.

ShadowBoltDashie I'm going to be honest I never knew people could get excited and mad over a video game cover. I had a few people in Skype earlier asking me what I think about it and then some getting mad about the cover to me and I'm sitting there not even knowing what's going on because I don't play FIFA .-.


It's pretty much pre-release hype. They are not really excited about the cover, they are more excited about the game itself. The cover is simply a representation of the game

the hype about the cover always dies down 2 days after the games released

Messi is the face of FIFA just like Ronaldo is the face of Pro Evolution soccer.
Its obvious he will be on the front cover. Isn't it?

I don't see the big deal, it's just a game cover. I don't even know who these people are.

Does everyone realize that this is only North America.

It's not going to be a European player on a North American game..

Sorcery Is this website really being taken over that much by FIFA players that we now have a whole news post about this?



This is big news everywhere to be honest.

Is was surprising to hear that Hernanadez would be on the cover. In was suspecting the other player to be like Robben, or RVP.


i agree. i was expecting Robben or RVP to be on the cover. tbh as long as messi is on the cover then its all good

Fifa is the same old same old, they just recycle everything because they know football fans will buy it anyway.
