    Re: FIFA 13 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

    Just played a game on world class, slow with Barca against Real. I can't believe how good this game is. I loved last year's game but this game is so much improved it's almost unreal.

      Just got it tonight and played a few quick games. Overall the game is fun and feels like an improvement from 12. There are still some AI issues with teammates sometimes standing around, but that's to be expected.

      Playing the game with everything on manual is just too much fun.

      The other thing that has always bugged me about Fifa is the stutter you get when changing players sometimes (yes, I turned off the cpu aid when switching).

      Overall I'm really enjoying it so far though.
      Go Sabres!

          defense is frustratingly bad. Played on Legendary using Spurs vs Chelsea and I beat them 3-1. The final overall stats were ok, however it was 2-0 in the first half and both my goals were because of comatose defenders just watching me. I felt cheap scoring such easy goals

          I switched sides for the second half real quick so I can adjust Chelsea's CTT and the rest of the game played out well. I turned up their aggression, pressing, and made them play narrow.


          Upcoming targets for my virtual pro in career mode: We expect a minimum average rating of 9.0???!!

          Maintain a 90% pass completion rate??!!

              Love it. Best soccer game I played in a long time. FIFA series has come a long way.

                Anyone else think that EA keeps giving more and more power to strikers?

                The strikers just "feel" faster in this game.

                The balls are more "attracted" to their feet during counter-attacks (so it's difficult to steal the ball).

                And it's much easier for the defense to get off position - making it easier for strikers to dash past them.

                Anyone else with similar feelings? I'm coming off Fifa 12 with 30-5-5 record in head-to-head season mode so I'm not terrible. This game just feels more frustrating on the defensive side of the ball.

                Fifa 12 had a similar defensive system, but the strikers weren't so "slippery" - so you could still lock them down if you could predict their direction. In Fifa 13, however, a Christiano Ronaldo can make defenders look absolutely silly EVEN when you know exactly where's he going (especially when he's facing the last 2-3 defenders on a counter-attack).

                  i'm so annoyed at ea that i couldn't play a single match yet.

                  every brazilian copy of the pc game has no commentary at all. which is absurdely frustrating considering we're waiting four to five years to play fifa with brazilian commentary again.

                  the menus and presentation are looking really gorgeous though, i have good expectations. but plz ea fix brazilian commentary, c'mon. you kidding me?

                    Loving the depth of the modes. I play mainly ultimate team and this year is stacked with different ways to play within that mode. In UT alone there are challenges, offline, online seasons, single player seasons, online and single player tourney modes. Just a ton of stuff to do. Gameplay though, I am enjoying the game overall, but something isn't quite right. I can't put my finger on it. Something with the weight of the ball. I'm not talking about the new first touch dynamic. It almost feels like sometimes you'll kick the ball and it will deflect off a teammate or an opponent and the ball will bounce off unrealistically. Maybe I need more time with the game...just an observation.

                      I had some technical problems so I was able to play 1 game only as of now. I purposely chose a rainy night game to see if there are any performance issues. What's strange about this match is that 4 players went out with injuries (2 of them severe injuries). I guess it was because of the wet pitch but injury animations are quite gnarly with knees and ankles bending in abnormal angles.

                      At the moment, I think the game is quite fun.

                        just played a match. love it. the ball really feels lighter or slower, i don't know. there seems to have some sluggishness in players' movements too, but overall i see it as a big improvement over 12, it feels way more realistic/organic. i love how i can shoot a goal kick to the midfield against the cpu and actually keep possession this time. and i love the badass kasabian riff at the start of the matches. now i just want my ******* commentaries!

                          I mainly play head to head seasons, after about 7 matches its obvious the speed of the game is ridiculous. I've always been a possesion player but this year it is almost impossible to play that way. Everything is just happening so fast you hardly have time to think and every game ends up being a back and forth counter mess. Every goal i have given up was built up with 3 or so passes. The first touch thing they added this year is in theory very good and adds to the realism, but because of that you hardly have any time before someone is rocketing at you. It feels like they took Fifa 12 and put it in the Fifa 11 game. Fifa 11 was absurdly fast as well.

                            If you play online, i would say fifa 12 is better. With sliders im sure you can get the single player to be quite good.

                                Love the game! Played 2 games online and already saw more goal variety than all the games I played in 12.

                                The whole gameplay seems more organic and natural. Seems like there is more emphasis on up tempo (faster paced), attacking this year. Reminds me a little of the WC2010 game which is probably my favorite FIFA game to date.

                                Overall, fantastic and something that should keep us all busy till next year.
