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.
