FIFA 13 Demo Available Now - Post Your Impressions

I know everyone has different preferences, but I'm curious as to why you turn down marking?

@rckabillyRaider

well, let me explain why marking is 50-

i was playing with brazilian portuguese language, as it is my first language. in the marking slider explanation, it says that, if you want closer marking, go with lower values, and to a have a more distant marking, go witth high values. so i did it, even thinking it could be strange, and i really noticed during 10 games that cpu was marking better, and my AI teammates too. i dont remember exactly now, but i think the marking slider explanation in english tells something different than in portuguese. as an example, fb positioning, in portuguese is a slider that measure how often your fullbacks makes runs forward to support the attack, not having anything to do with positioning on defense, as i thought it was.

hmmm. Maybe that's something we need to look into. Gonna have to experiment with that.

I went back to the demo to try lowering the marking slider instead of raising it and to me it did look like it made a difference. I know that people who play this more and are better at it will probably try this now but I think it helps the defense seem more competent.

My question would be why they couldn't just say in plain english how they slider works...lol

Ever since I've selected manual through balls, the game has come alive. There's plenty of space to get the ball into, and you really notice when a guy like Pirlo or Arteta are on the ball, they find the space, the ball holds up and stays in the field of play more.

It's been lovely.

If you're not playing this game on full manual, you're missing out on all it has to offer. My only concern really has come down to the imbalance between offense and defense. The new offensive features have totally overwhelmed the already taxed defensive system.

Just created a thread for this but I will toss it here as well. The computer avoiding the ballad staying onside for me blew me away...

I think it's more of a case where the player knew the pass wasn't for him based on the power and trajectory.

It is always cool to see the awareness though.

The defending in this game is bad.

I was doing some test on the demo, and i've come to the conclusion that the Marking slider for User should be lowered they tend to keep thei shape alot better. On the flip side when you crank up the Marking slider for the cpu they defend alot better gives you a better challenge. I put the Cpu Marking at 100 and The User at 40. I'm running some other test with other sliders also.

Going with the "turn down the CPU marking" has been great for me. I put both down to 4 and the resulting turnovers have made a much more organic, fluid style of play. I also dropped the line depth which has really helped with the CPU responding closer to the box. Going to mess with the speed and passing sliders now. Just had a 2-1 defeat from Arsenal at Man City. It was by far the most even and "sim" match I've played yet... Has anyone really got a "sim" slider for passing? It's still a little too precise on the CPU's part for my taste.

My struggle is havin the defenders play space and watch their man at the same time ill try bringing the Marking slider down. I have my line height is at 40 length 25 and width 20 getting good mid field battle mix. I'm on ps3

I'll try that. I'm actually playing on PC, with 20 minute games. (demo expander) I think that is really helping, as the aggressive attacking play normally doesn't begin until after the half or when I happen to get up by a couple of goals. I have also noticed that the D tends to keep shape the lower the slider. I don't think there is a slider combination that will give us close marking, as in physical contact or shoving. Fifa isn't designed that way. But I have noticed that they close really well in front of the box and will muscle you in the box. I just want to find that mix of sliders where every pass isn't on target by the CPU and the CPU plays proper position, even if it is at a distance that isn't quite realistic.

I have pass error set at80-85. I'm seeing pass accuracy's of 68%-80% at the end of every game.

I play on Manual thru- balls too. I did have it on all manual but felt it too hard to keep up with the cpu's precision.

I just turned pass error up to 75. I think I might go up to your settings. I like how it amplifies the first touch errors. I think that's one thing Fifa has to really work towards, the randomness of the real game. It's like they want to maintain the ability to make the highlight play. Problem is, that you can get to the point where it isn't a big "wow" thing, anymore. You score enough of them, and they are just "ho hum." I'm going to keep seeing how "ugly" I can make this game play. I'm really starting to enjoy the 1-0, 2-1 games that I've been getting as I tweak the sliders away from defaults....

Please list your full set when you find that sweet spot your looking for. I want to give them a try.
