Just a quick one before lunch - reportedly, people in Spain have been invited to the first ever showing of FIFA 14, this year's inevitable sequel. EA producer Sebastian Enrique and FIFA 13 producer Nick Channon are said to be in attendance.

That's according to RegionPS, via PlayStationer. Eww, Playstations! Wash away the sallow taste of the word by reading our miraculously prophetic coverage of where the latest FIFA may head.

FIFA 14 will go large on connectivity, according to series boss David Rutter, in what could be a hint as to the capabilities of next generation consoles.
"If you look at how our business in video games used to be - you'd make a game, put it in a box, sell it, people would play it and then you'd repeat - as we've gone onto the 360, the idea that most consoles are now connected lets us go beyond just serving consumers updates to the game," Rutter told us last year.

"Do we deliver new features throughout the year, update gameplay - do we update the entire game at the end of the season rather than release new packaged goods? Those are things that aren't necessarily supported yet by first parties or ourselves, but as the industry side changes the way games are made I think that's the way things will go."

EA has a well-documented wider interest in connected experiences, as you probably already know, and the latest rumours suggest that Xbox 720 will be an always-online machine. Thoughts?
