PC or 360??

[spyder_DG]

Help me out guys!! I'm trying to decide which platform to buy Fifa 13 on, I've tried the demo on both and they feel pretty much alike (they should), so what I want to base my decision on is the modding community for Fifa PC. Can anyone tell me if the Modding community for Fifa is as active as say...NBA 2K's?? If so, what kind of mods have been created for previous versions of Fifa? Are there any mods that change the way the game plays (slows down the CPU, makes them pass laterally and backwards more etc..)? What about kits and historic clubs? Do people create them for the PC version? Thank you for your responses and help!!!

The modding community is extremely active for the PC version. You can pretty much find anything you want from gameplay to visual mods. I remember installing a Selector Tool last year that would allow you to select different themes prior to each game - such as EPL, Champions League, etc - each one of these themes would change the kits, balls, pitch pattern, tv wipes, etc. Incredible stuff. Those along with the gameplay mods make it worthwhile in my opinion.

With that being said I get it for 360 and PC every year - 360 for more online play.

Hope that helps

Thank you for the quick response! Just what I wanted to hear, picking it up for PC now, and then probably 360 in a few months for online...

I have never bought a game online through Origin, but now I'm asking myself the same question: 360 or PC? I've been a console gamer my whole life but bought a new PC for gaming. What are the mods like for the PC version? Pros and cons of 360 & PC versions?

Well. Use this code to get 25% off on greenmangaming.com, which brings the PC version down to 32 bucks. That made the decision for me: GMG20-27J4Z-8NXHO

You just get an origin key and activate it there.

Getting the game at almost half price compared to the console version plus the ability of a modding community? PC version is a no-brainer at this point for me.

Exactly my thoughts as well. With an Xbox controller and the mods, its a great deal.

Downloading this game on Origin as I type this post. Could somebody direct me to where I would find the best mods for FIFA games?

So before downloading the game, I checked to make sure my specs were good enough to run the game. I believe on EA's site there was a way to input my specs and it rated how well they were for the game. Everything they asked for, I had an 8+ rating out of 10. I tried playing today and the only way the game was playable was if I put the render down to very low. It looks like crap and still doesn't run 100% smooth. Any tips for what I could do?

There was an option in the demo to lock the FPS to 60. You can try that.

Do you have to run it through origin or is a seperate install?
