EA Sports has announced that Ultimate Team mode stats, currency and other information for the upcoming FIFA 14 can now be transferred between current and next-gen console releases.
FIFA 14 will be releasing for Xbox 360 and PS3 this September, but next gen console versions of the game won’t be out till at least November which is when the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are due to release (with the latter still billed for the Holiday season). This means you can effectively start playing on the current generation, then transfer your stats on to the next generation consoles and pick up where you left off.
Senior vice president and general manager of the group in EA Sports Matt Bilbey has stated that, “Our fans spend a lot of time and energy to FIFA Ultimate Team by creating their own unique teams and it was essential for us to pay tribute to this investment. We will ensure that there is no loss of time and users are rewarded for their involvement from the start of the season on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and for their transition to the new consoles.”
FIFA 14 is releases on current gen consoles including the Wii, Nintendo 3DS, PSP, PS Vita, Xbox 360, PC and PS3 on September 24th in North America and on September 27th in Europe.
