      I'm hoping to see this
      I honetly don't recall sorry. They did make one change I think they brought on Pepe maybe but I forgot who they took off. I don't recall the formation changing.

      My question is though is the AI aware enough to not attack when down on leg 2 of a game but up overall on aggregate.
      In my league game vs. Lazio they were up 3-0 and continued to attack. Not sure what would happen in a cup game if they are up on aggregate but I don't expect it to be different.

        I like this game a lot. The game is really fluid and the fact that you don't need skill moves anymore in order to beat your defender is awesome. The one negative I see is that shots for around the arc are too easy.

          anybody else seeing the frequent ugly bouncy passes? It might be because I have my pass speed slider set at 40. Stuck at work for a couple hrs then I can check

            A few initial gameplay observations:

            -Defenders will quite literally stand around doing absolutely nothing while attackers dribble around freely sizing up a shot from the edge of the box.

            -The first touch system really does make an amazing difference to the game. However, it needs refinement (via slider perhaps) because at times it's as though the entire pitch is comprised of 20 footballers wearing concrete boots.

            -Scoring against the CPU on Legendary is not easy.

            -The CPU varies its attack far far far more than it did in FIFA 12.

            Anybody care to share their sliders so far? I'm having a difficult time balancing player speed/accel with passing/shot speed. I feel 48 pass speed is too slow and doesn't allow for moving the ball around the pitch as freely as it should. 48 shot speed feels fine. 46 speed/accel seem just about right.

              I'm Man U hosting Netherlands and I had to pause just 2:38 into the game to state something. (Keep in mind I am a big PES fan who was dissapointed in the lack of "shooting from distance" in FIFA12)

              I have finally witnessed a miracle!!!!!!!!!!!!!

              Netherlands has 2 shots already, both from outside the box, one from way outside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

              Utterly amazing to see and the commentary captured it nicely. Shots came from Robben and Sneijder

                On a sad note, in my game against Mexico the 2nd half was terrible in terms of strategy for the CPU

                Mexico was up 1-0 and I couldn't get anything going. When I added a striker and pulled a defender Mexico did nothing to respond.

                In fact, their shape never changed. The 2 subs they did make were "like for like". Their play style never changed. They never pulled back to defend. This is sad for me because what they should have done was drop a striker and clog the midfield as well as drop a midfielder between the 2 center backs or replace a midfielder for another center back.

                    Played against Juve a few times and couldn't even tell if Pirlo was on the pitch unless the commentators mentioned his name. It is still the same for Xavi and Iniesta, players like this are still not well represented in FIFA. I will say you do see long shots, played against Liverpool and Gerrard was taking longs all the time, a little too much because it constantly wasted possession.

                      Try playing a career mode game - it wasn't until then that I started seeing cards and fouls. Might have just been that particular referee too.

                        I've mostly played the skill games. Those are fun. I don't really get how hitting the bigger targets is worth more though. You'd think the smaller ones off to the side would be worth more. Well not in the bucket game but the other ones.

                        Played 2 games and enjoyed them. I've had lots of corners and one yellow card. I scored a spectacular bicycle kick off a corner but I'm not allowed to upload it. Also it doesn't save the camera angle you pick so that's a bit of an issue. That ref seemed rather inconsistant. The AI did a similar thing to what I did to have gotten the yellow and wasn't penalized at all.

                        Though I will add in that I don't know as much about soccer as other sports so if a rule is buggered up or Gerrard's shoelaces are tied wrong I wouldn't know.

                          Sorry if this has been asked but if you start career mode now, does your progress carry over when you buy the retail game?? THANKS!

                            Based on my experiment with the Spanish Cup it looks like no to that. I pruposely lost the 1st leg 4-0 and they continued to attack even in the 2nd half after they made the agg. 6-0

                              I think I'm starting to come around. I need to play FIFA 12 now and see how it compares. I started with Krebstar's FIFA 12 sliders and tweaked them until I now am really, really enjoying my matches.

                              The crabwalking thing is still driving me up a WALL and needs to be patched. But other than that things are really starting to come together.

                              I HAVE to be imagining this but it feels like the game has slowed down some now. Could they patch that without us knowing it? I wouldn't think so.

                              I'll play FIFA 12 and 13 back to back to see. I'm probably just getting used to the speed now.

                              But it will have to wait... Gamecocks play football in 6 minutes.

                                Yes it does.
