Re: FIFA 13 Season Ticket Early Release Impressions
Played a lot of matches and let me just say I am not impressed. The first few matches seemed good but the more I played it that old familiar FIFA odor started to creep back in. Players just slide all over pitch and pace is still too fast, players play long passes like they are all Xabi Alonso, the turning of players is just too much I mean it is almost a threat to try and pressure most players because they display agility that should be reserved for certain players. Defender is still severely lacking and just a chore to play, still feels like your are a one man defending unit while your players just stand there, ball watch, and jog to loose balls and passes. I don't want to see a rebound shot in the box and have 5 players watching while two slow jog to the ball.
Also running the flanks cutting in and shooting is still very effective, although finesse seems slightly toned down it is still easy to hit on target. I can see this being popular for players to do this online....again. CPU passes are still too accurate and fouls given are really random and inconsistent. I have gone a string of games of seeing no fouls than the next few games to see some fouls given, maybe some cards for some small silly foul or a trip, and penalty but these are fouls committed by me because I rarely see CPU really trying to be aggressive in trying to win the ball back which is disappointing especially for certain teams. Teams like Dortmund and few other teams can hardly be represented properly even when I adjusted there tactics they still played loose all because of the FIFA game mechanic.
Also I know some teams give off the appearance that they are playing differently but it still seems a bit off, while there is a variety it still feels off with what the CPU attempts with it's tactics. I don't know if I can fully explain it yet as I might need to play a little more.
Rant done... I know it seems like I am being hard on the game but I am not asking for it to be perfect I just would like some of the simple things that make the beautiful game to be represented at least somewhat properly. Now I know that there are sliders to fix some of the issues but how far do I need to go get this game playable to my liking, I have tried some slider tweaks but the difference is really a bare minimum in my eyes. Anyways I guess I will head to bed and try it again tomorrow but for some reason I was more into FIFA 12 than this game, maybe it was that I didn't play FIFA 11 a year before but who knows I will see over the course of the weekend if this game sways and I will also continue to him some more slider tweaking will help.
