Re: FIFA 13 Demo Available Now For PC

I'm loving it!

The game looks amazing. Better than I expected!

It plays great too. The new attacking AI is a great addition.
I'm mainly an offline player when it comes to sports games and I enjoyed the CPU in FIFA 12, but I can already tell the CPU will play a much better game in FIFA 13.
In 12 I played on Legendary (with slider tweaks) with Full Manual controls. I was thinking of going straight to Legendary in the demo as well but I decided to go with World Class. I have yet to score a single goal.

Just look at these stats (I was Man City);

And that's on 3-minute halves! The CPU is shooting the ball!

I can't wait for this game!

Here are some other random pics from the games I have played;

Re: FIFA 13 Demo Available Now For PC

+ Improved ball physics
+ Ball and players feel more heavy
+ Impact Engine is improved
+ Tackles slightly improved

- No fouls by the cpu AI
- AI again is not passing backwards and makes nonsense dribbles in the offensive end
- Build up play is non existent, midfield play is nowhere to be found
- There's no Team/Player Individuality, all the teams feel and play the same
- Cpu AI still not pressuring the flanks
- The same goals over and over again

Imo EA goes the wrong way again.

Just played another one. I love that the CPU is taking shots from outside the box!

The Impact Engine has definitely been improved. They players go down in a more realistic manner, and overall it just looks much better.
They have also added another sliding tackle animation. It's shorter but quicker. I like it a lot.

And oh, they have added this to the presentation;

7 games so far.Cpu is shooting outside the box sometimes but this is after too much dribbling and without a good angle.I have a cpu player trapped outside the area and he goes 3 times around dribbling himself and instead of passing back or look for a teammate left or right he shoots (!!) with 3 players of my team in front of him.This is bad AI programming.

Re: FIFA 13 Demo Available Now For PC

That's not how my games have looked like. The CPU has been moving the ball really well.

Difficulty level?

[fearwhatnow]

Re: FIFA 13 Demo Available Now For PC

Yes, the cpu moves the ball well.Endless forward passing, give 'n go passing all the time.This is not football.For sure it's not a realistic football approach.

World Class difficulty.

I'm not seeing the same thing at all, whatever the reason may be.
