One of the more memorable and probably the most controversial moment was during the event when Uruguay striker Luis Suárez took a bite out of Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini. Resulting in a 4 month ban from all football activity, which was later softened down to just the competition matches after he attempted to appeal the ban at the court of arbitration for sport.
FIFA has now implemented this ban in great detail for the release of their FIFA '15 title.
Players starting the "career mode" as FC Barcelona, the new owners of Suárez after his transfer from Liverpool, will get a message from the Chief Executive saying: "Please be aware that Luis Suárez is currently serving a suspension and will not be available for selection until 26 October 2014."
Players looking for Luis on the transfer market of FIFA Ultimate Team will get no results for their enquiry.
Lots of football players are big fans of the FIFA games themselves. Belgian striker Eden Hazard for example as a fan of the FIFA series is extremely proud to be on the cover of the '15 release, together with Lionel Messi. So, whether this measure to ban Luis is just for accuracy, or meant as a stab from FIFA to Luis Suarez is unsure.
