    Re: FIFA 13 Gameplay Videos and More

    Damn. These are not the FIFA 13 gameplay videos I was hoping to see.

    One thing is obvious - anyone frustrated with the unrealistic, arcade online cheese factor in 12 is going to continue to be frustrated. Granted I saw a lot of poor defending but the one-man offense is more powerful than ever with nothing to compensate the defense. Even more frightening, now that the offensive AI isn't just standing there like dullards. Online GPG is going to be through the roof this year.

    Also disappointed that the user interface is pretty much untouched other than a few replaced textures. I guess all of the work this year went into training everyone how to dribble like Ronaldo (which apparently any two star player can pull off those moves) and beefing up EA's pay-wall UT services. I know for a fact EA has said they didn't really do anything to differentiate team playstyles and that they left those difference up to the supposed 'player ID' to take care of.

    Overall I don't see much in the gameplay that stands out from 12. I didn't really see where stamina comes into play and even the one commentator said it really was only a big deal if you are holding sprint when first touch. Which means streaking up the field twirling like the Tasmanian Devil or sprint/pressing the entire time on defense is still a solid tactic. OhFUN!

    My problem is I only wanted FIFA for online play and thought it might be different this year. I was wrong. When it comes to offline play why would I bother with FIFA? To get any enjoyment from the game I find it is best to play on manual, which unfortunately sucks offline since the CPU pass rating never dips below 90%.

    Oh....and is it just me or does PES graphics blow FIFA away. Not the animations, which we all know is FIFA's domain, but the actual look of the players, fields and stadiums. PES13 just looks more realistic and, from the looks of it, plays much better vs CPU. Unfortunately I don't think EA is going to make it a choice this year.

      We must be thankfull for Konami, they give us realism! I buy PES2013 this year, I want support them. Thanks God we don't have such problems with license like in Madden. It would be nightmare if we have only Fifa.

        Re: FIFA 13 Gameplay Videos and More

        The Chelsea video didn't look as bad but there are still so many things that have plagued the FIFA series for years that look like they haven't been addressed:

        Still looks like defenders (especially the CPU) aren't closing down around the box. This allows way too many shots from outside the box.

        Goal kicks still end up being won by defenders who are WAY too high up the pitch. This leads to a header from your CB which falls at the feet of your striker who in turn starts the counter. Where is the midfield?

        Lobbed/Chipped passes seem to be too overpowered. They almost always seem to be in stride, the perfect height, and fall to the feet of the attacker. In real life these are one of the most difficult passes to complete.

        Not many fouls, especially when the ball is in the air.

        The CPU seems very "twitchy". There are times where they should be holding up play but instead their doing spins and unnecessary turns. Agility issues aside if, it would look better visually if they just put a foot on the ball and looked around for options.



        Positives:

        Pace was MUCH better. It wasn't a fast break like the other user vs user matches.

        Good to see the CPU use skill moves that made sense (both contextually and by the right people). Hazard looked dangerous on the ball and used skills to create space.

        First touch looked like it really impacts the game and I noticed that the good players (Ribery, Nasri, Hazard, etc...) were more dangerous because their first touch was better. Also, first touches in space looked better compared to in traffic with defenders around (which it should).


        Hopefully we'll see more videos this week. I fear that the demo is so close to release-date that any glaring bugs won't be addressed until the first patch which usually comes late for FIFA>

          I really didn't expect this though. With PES 2013 demo(s) being out as long as they have - I would have expected to see something that would COMPETE within the venues of realistic gameplay. What's sad is yes the demographic will still be achieved in those kids who want to button mash and boast their skill dribbling moves; but this is so not good by the looks of it.

          I have NEVER understood EA's mentality in their sports games. Why not AIM for a specific SIMULATION representation of the game we see on TV. Make it look like that - and execute it. What's nice about this approach is that you kill 2 birds with one stone; ie the simulation players and the arcade gamers. The arcade gamers don't care because they just want to play with Messi - while the sim gamers enjoy a beautifully represented version of the greatest game on earth?

          Stop showing off useless features that equate to only arcade gameplay, and do it for the fans of the beautiful game - this is straight up disrespectful at this point.

            In that Man U - City match there is a Balotelli goal that is just pure FIFA. Lobbed through ball, Mario takes it on the volley and buries it from outside the box with his left with power and placement.

            The amount of skill that it would take to do that is unreal with his dominant leg, let alone his left.

            Also, way too many 1 v 1's with the keeper.

                AI defensive intelligence and tactics (if you can call it that) still seems to be stuck in the dark ages. Meanwhile, attacking intelligence and on-the-ball attacker movement/responsiveness is ridiculously overpowered and 'roided up. And now with precision dribbling being incorporated even further, defenses don't stand a chance. And I thought it was easy enough to hold LT, change directions and then sprint by people before ... now it'll be even easier.

                  As a true fans of authentic sport games, we must pray for 2K and Konami each and every day, they are our only saviors.

                  Enough with these kind of posts in here, please. If you see something specific you don't like or feel is not up to par, by all means, make your point. However, we're not going to have FIFA v PES crap in either game forum. Take the generalizations and rhetoric to some other site if that's how you choose to discuss games.

                        FIFA caters to a more casual style as do most EA Sports do. Besides that I still don't think these videos represent the full potential of the game, it may not look as promising to me but I will reserve full judgement until the I play the full game.

                          I am going to hold out on any opinion on the game until actually playing it myself when the demo comes out in a few days.

                            It is appallingly arcade. Like I said previously, the match engine looks more like Fifa Street. Ever player is constantly doing 360's and all this other rubbish, when in the real world ITS A TEAM SPORT where by you pass the ball around looking for holes in the defence.

                            Why are really basic things not incorporated, like having both teams further up the pitch on goal kicks. Goal kicks in Fifa have players stood around the 18 yard box, which is ridiculous. This is just one tiny little example, but then you can look at the hugely disproportionate amount of speed and skill carried by every player. It really bugs me as I hoped this would be the year the game would come together.

                            I love all of the little touches like adding moving security and players warming up, but when those constant 25 yard screamers go in nearly every shot, why bother with those little things.

                              A picture is worth a thousand words :wink:

                              Let's start with the fact that EA sport for a long time is trying to play not so honestly with their consumers. I don't even want to go into details about what exactly I don't like in current Fifa. It's so obvious! Does it really hard to slow down a little, the pace of a game for example, and make it more real?! I don't think so, they just don't need it, because it would be torture for casual players. During the existence of Fifa was not made any significant attempts to variety of team play and player's individuality, this is terrible. My ideal of soccer game is the one where I can play it for 45 minutes for a half, and a minimum of 1.30 hour for a whole game, with real amounts of yellow cards and goals. Do you think that EA sport will ever release that type of pace in soccer? I highly doubt it.
                              Konami definitely may create opportunity for us to change pace of the game to real one. With all imperfection of PES2011, I got a real pleasure playing 20 minutes for a half. I hate when EA sports releases its beautiful trailers, loudly announce that this year gameplay is so realistic than ever before and when you start playing you realize that you were cheated.
                              NBA Live was smashed by NBA2k, nothing more to say. British devs reveal a different level of American football simulation, as you know they have license problem, but Backbreaker had a great potential. If this game would receive further development, Madden would have suffered from the same fate as NBA Live. So as I said before, It's EA sport's arcadish type of business

                                Ummm, artmind, I said NO generalizations and rhetoric. Seriously man, I'm trying to be diplomatic about this, but please stop posting this stuff. The fact you're extending it to other sports only makes it worse. You can dislike EA Sports all you want, but please leave your agenda at the door if you want to discuss the games at OS.

                                We encourage critical and, above all, civil discussions. We don't need parroted platitudes about business/marketing practices. Thank you for your cooperation.
