The odd thing is that although I am disappointed by the player movement not being addressed to compliment the IE and I was underwhelmed when first playing the demo, I still have the urge to play the game again because I expect to see different things happen. So in that regard, with the IE, catch animations and read n react causing some new but not always well done things to occur, M13 is an improvement over M12.
Now the true test will of course come when I get the retail and head into online ranked games because those guys can ruin a wet dream, lol. In fact, it might be best if I completely avoid online ranked but I enjoy trying to play on Virgin Gaming and those tournaments can only be played through online ranked mode. Every year I just keep hoping that I can actually compete playing football but no mas thus far.
