FIFA 13 Season Ticket Early Release Impressions

Re: FIFA 13 Season Ticket Early Release Impressions

First impressions:

-Menus are nice and clean, but man is there a lot of jazz going on with them all sorts of "NEW FEATURE!!!" and redirects status updates for Match Day or whatever it is. Very busy.

-I like the ability to select time of day for matches in the demo, and there is also a feature in the retail version to select the season as well.

-The game does look brilliant. The color palette really pops with the new lighting upgrades. I will say that the player models have always bugged me a bit with their oddly proportioned and gawky limbs.

-The pace for the user on slow seems a bit slower than the demo, but the AI still seems intent on playing at a blistering pace of moving the ball up field at all costs. Could have just been Newcastle's style though.

-I do really like the first touch. Reduces some of the constant perfect counter-attacking that was present in last year's game.

Same thing happened to me. It is stuck on the part where it says fifa 13. Just before the game loads

I was afraid of this. If every team still does that then it will be a concern for me.

I saw on the EA forums that the PS3 thing is a known issue and EA is scrambling to fix it.

No issue on 360.

-I do feel like the aerial game is a little better for the user this year. I've felt like for the longest time the cpu has had a weird advantage in that aspect of play, but it seems more even now. Hard to describe as it's mostly a control/feel thing.

EDIT: I really do like how the new first touch stuff slows the game down a bit. Last year the player in this video would have gained control of the ball at a much earlier point.

Is there a way to reinstall it? Just curious. I have mind downloading in the background at the moment. How do you re-install if you need to?

Also, some suggested deleting old fifa 12 files because I believe this game reads them but everyone is saying it didn't help the problem, just wanted to let u guys know b4 u deleted something u might wanna keep. Also if this is a widespread problem I don't think just re downloading is gunna help. This sounds like we got a "bad download" or maybe an incomplete file, who the f knows.

[BIGE888]

ok they said to delete ea sports central and try again. doing this now fingers crossed.

Re: FIFA 13 Season Ticket Early Release Impressions

Interesting to hear the pace has been slowed from demo. That is a big plus.

1) is face up (aka crab walk) dribbling animation still forced on you when you get close to a defender and if so, has the distance at which this animation automatically kick in been reduced?

2) are refs calling any fouls and carding CPU ?

3) with 6 minute halves (which is default online I think) do you notice stamina having any effect on players - especially if you abuse sprint.
