FIFA 13 Season Ticket Early Release Impressions

Re: FIFA 13 Season Ticket Early Release Impressions

I've seen fouls, but they are usually jostling fouls (not tackles). I got a penalty kick as me and the cpu were running in the box and he basically grabbed my arm and through me down to the ground as the replay showed, was great.

And, it starts...LOL

It is important to remember that whenever one loses to the CPU, it's because the game and its engine are failing, not because, you know...one is indeed bad at FIFA.

Whenever you see glowing impressions of a sports game on the forums it always starts with " won a crazy game". I won games is fantastic. I lost game sucks.

FIFA has been known for its scripting. I mean in the PC version you can literally edit the code of the scripting. So yeah, if that's what is happening in the game for him - so be it. If it's not for others then fine. So far I haven't summarized this game as glowing yet either - it seems to be a mixed bag. Similar to PES 13 how a lot of PES 12 crept in, some of FIFA 12 has crept in as well for FIFA 13.

Eitherway - keep the impressions coming along, I'm counting the days to get this game for the PC.

Re: FIFA 13 Season Ticket Early Release Impressions

I'm not against FIFA scripting though. If the CPU is completely mechanical in its response to tactics and context, it would be pretty useless and boring AI.

The key is knowing it when you see it and responding accordingly. In fact, I'd rather not call it scripting, because it's mostly just tactics. Humans have the ability to change tactics midstream, why shouldn't the CPU?

Re: FIFA 13 Season Ticket Early Release Impressions

My thought on scripting is that it exists in real footy.

"You're always most vulnerable after you score"
"Teams pressing hard for that late goal"
"Teams packing it in trying to preserve the result"

If the CPU changes tactics and goes aggressive and you don't go defensive then you should fear conceding.

Re: FIFA 13 Season Ticket Early Release Impressions

The fact that I've had some games where I just own, and games where I just can't do right, is encouraging to me. It means that I'm getting varied gameplay. And I've had games where one tactic had no hope, and another game where it did.

What I like is that, from what I've seen, the stars do in fact shine. I can tell just by how they control the ball who their stars are, w/o looking at names.

That does seem to be the case thus far. With Cardiff City, pretty much the only guy I can count on to do something productive is little Craig Bellamy!

Also, I still truly suck at scoring goals, so that's no different than FIFA 12.

I've been using semi for shots, and it certainly seems like it gives me more input than in last year's game, I'm putting shots all over the place like it's fully manual.

Re: FIFA 13 Season Ticket Early Release Impressions

I play all manual because I'm a masochist, clearly. It's not like I'm any good at it!

Re: FIFA 13 Season Ticket Early Release Impressions

While simming through a season with Liverpool, I noticed that Nuri Sahin and Jay Spearing's loans didn't expire at the end of the season. And there's no way to manually end Sahin's loan, though you could buy out Spearing's loan to bring him back (laughable).

Anyone else seen this? Hopefully this can be fixed with the retail version.

Re: FIFA 13 Season Ticket Early Release Impressions

Feel a real difference between the demo and the full game, controls feel tighter and AI plays a little smarter.
My main issue with FIFA vs all other sports games if even with manual control on they still control your guy for you a little. I switch to a guy and press toward the ball but the AI makes my guy back pedal rather then challenge for the ball, thus giving the other team a chance to move in front and grab it early.

Started myplayer with SJ Earthquakes and have been setup to be loaned out, so I'm interested to see how that effects my career.

And I love the skill game, amazing playing with a high level guy verse someone without skill.

You can turn the CPU assists off, ya know. I can't stand the setting to auto-switch players.

That is why I said "even with manual control on", meaning no CPU assist. The AI still controls you a little bit.

Anyone try adding chants is year?

Re: FIFA 13 Season Ticket Early Release Impressions

Glad I had a chance to try this out before I bought it. This game is an absolute joke. It looks like EA decided to crank up the speed because they were afraid all of the imperfect touches would kill the NBA Jam feel of the game. There is absolutely nothing slow about "Slow". The CPU still passes way way way too accurately. They still don't take enough chances. It basically defeats the purpose of playing with full manual controls because you simply cannot keep up with the perfection of the CPU over the long haul. And I'm not interested in another year of tweaking sliders endlessly, only to realize in the end that you can't undo what the game is programmed to do. I pre-ordered this, but I won't be buying.
