Fifa online 2 music8/7/2023 ![]() ![]() “Love Me Again” is a fairly well-known track in its own right, but FIFA 14 players remember it from that game’s soundtrack. ![]() Love Me Again – John Newman (FIFA 14): The quintessential FIFA song. The playlist is 55 songs in total, but I’d like to highlight a few here. There are no more than 10 per game, even if I wanted to include more (which I definitely did). To honor the release of FIFA 21 (a game I’ll probably play once and hate immediately), I’ve put together a playlist of my favorite songs from FIFA 14 through FIFA 20. ![]() Traditionally, alternative and electronic music have dominated the playlists, but in recent years, the curators have put together more diverse soundtracks, with UK rap, for example, getting several tracks in the last few editions of FIFA. As someone who doesn’t have the attention span to listen to entire albums in one sitting, the release of the FIFA soundtrack has become something I look forward to every year. But every year, FIFA puts together a fantastic soundtrack of 40 or so songs that I anticipate more than the game itself. The video game itself is always flawed and frustrates me to no end. But why, you may ask, do you still love a game that has wronged you and your mom’s wallet (sorry, Mom) so many times? The soundtrack. You can see where the hate part of our relationship comes from. I had had enough of all the crap players deal with, so for the sake of my mental health (and college applications), I basically stopped playing. I really only got into it over the summer when I had free time. That was probably my best team, with TOTS Michy Batshuayi and man-of-the-match Eden Hazard my stars in that edition. I did get back into it by spring when I packed 98-rated TOTS Mohamed Salah. But the game was as frustrating as ever, and by FIFA 18, my junior year in high school, I started to play the game less and less. I had a brilliant team that year, with Team of the Season Harry Kane, TOTS Christian Eriksen and in-form Son Heung-min leading the attack in my 4-3-1-2. Nevertheless, EA still had me hooked, and FIFA 17 was much of the same. ![]() Nothing was more frustrating than dominating someone online and still losing (though it was understandable if they had Bernd Leno in net). As I got more into the game, I began to realize just how annoying it could be. FIFA 16 was my first full year of total devotion to the game, and I spent many a weekend night cursing at the television while my friends laughed over the headset. I packed a Legend, Oliver Bierhoff, that year, something I didn’t realize the significance of until I told some friends who proceeded to freak out. (Wavin’ Flag, anyone?) I tried Ultimate Team for the first time on FIFA 14, and it was the following year with FIFA 15 during which I truly got into it. 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa on Wii is one of my all-time favorite games. I don’t know if the two are correlated, but let’s just say I was never the most skillful player.Īs I was getting more into the sport, I also started playing FIFA. It’s actually kind of funny how my soccer fandom took off right around the time I stopped playing the sport. Since then, I have been as much a fan of soccer as I am of other sports, if not more so. It took a few years for me to really start following the sport closely, with Chelsea’s 2012 Champions League Final triumph in Munich against Bayern igniting my passion for football. I would always choose Chelsea, and as a result, the Blues became my club. Back in the day, I would play FIFA 08 or FIFA 09 on my friend’s Nintendo Wii. It was actually because of FIFA that I really fell in love with soccer in the first place. ![]()
