You might want to watch what you say the next time you play FIFA 14 or NBA 2K14 on the Xbox One. Cursing could earn you a technical foul.

The Xbox One's Kinect motion sensor camera will listen to players when they are playing the game, and if the player drops some foul language during the game, they could incur a foul during the game as well as a virtual letter from their team's city board reprimanding them for their vulgarity. This is seen in many videos of people cursing and being reprimanded by the game. In addition, one Reddit user took a photo of the letter he received in the game that warned him about cursing while playing FIFA 14. The feature also applies to the Xbox 360 version of the game if console owners also have the Kinect for the device.

It should be noted that this feature seems to apply to the career modes of the game, and not the online modes. Both FIFA 13 and NBA 2K13 had a similar feature, however, the problem was not as widespread. The Xbox 360 and Kinect were sold separately then, so fewer users had to deal with keeping their language clean.

Besides punishing players for their naughty behavior, the Kinect allows Xbox One users to use voice commands for helping manage the games. For example, players can use the Kinect to call for substitute players to come into the game. Users can also call plays in the game using the voice command features. Of course, players can elect to turn the Kinect or voice commands off if their swearing is too much to control.

It is unclear if this feature is negatively affecting the reputation or sales of either game, but considering FIFA 14 and NBA 2K14 are both fantastic games, it should make little difference in the success of the games overall. After all, this feature only applies to Xbox owners, and the feature can be disabled by either showing restraint or turning off voice commands.

Look out for more news on FIFA 14 and NBA 2K14 right here as the games continue to gain ground on the next-gen consoles and wow fans of soccer and basketball with a whole new level of realism in video games.
