Re: FIFA 13 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

Is anybody else noticing a lot of PK's being given?

Not for, like, obvious stuff either. Just routine contact in the box that would never get called in real life.

I say this partly because I find it weird, and mostly because I just had a 1-0 win AT OLD TRAFFORD WITH FULHAM taken from me because of some phantom call on Rooney.

That wasn't the first one either, and they've gone both against me and for me, I'm just finding it weird.

United getting a phantom penalty? Seems realistic to me.

Gee, Man Utd "winning" a penalty, at Old Trafford, against a smaller team.

Sounds pretty realistic to me

EDIT: Damn, not quick enough. Fair play EWRMETS, you got there first.

Yeah, Liverpool thinks this is BS too.

Re: FIFA 13 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

Really enjoying this game now that I have adjusted the sliders (using Orion's set). I think the presentation is better and I really like the ESPN intros. For the most part, I also like the new menus.

I did have to do a few roster moves. Lass Diarra was still on Real Madrid, Meireles on Chelsea, and a few Championship moves.

I like the Match Day stuff, but as far as I can tell, I cant play a "Play Now" game without using the Match Day rosters. I could have just missed where this is, but it seems like the only option is to use this feature without being able to use your edited rosters.

in the match day team selection screen, you can choose to turn off that feature and the rosters go to default.

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.

I completely agree with you. WC2010 is also my favorite game because it's so unpredictable and it has a very even pacing. FIFA 13 is similar, but faster. I would prefer something a bit mellower but at least it's not as fast as FIFA 11.

There's one thing that's bugging about 13: the running animation looks weird sometimes, sort of like the Madden running animations. It doesn't affect gameplay at all but it's a bit distracting.

Fantastic game. Yes, the CPU presses a bit too much on offense, but while this may be less realistic, it's also really intense and fun. If the guys got as tired in the game as they do in real life, slowing the pace of the match obviously, you'd probably have to play actual 90 minute matches to get realistic scores. I'm fine with 30 minutes of action any day, and the online play is great from what I've seen as well. Still got PES coming in the mail via Redbox, but I think I'm happy with my FIFA choice. It just suits me better. The skill games are super fun by themselves.

Seems about right actually.
EDIT: Seems I'm a little late to the party with this one LOL

Re: FIFA 13 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

So glad to have more fouls this year. I just wish we could have the speed from Fifa 12. The game speed even on slow is just a little too fast.

Re: FIFA 13 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

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.

Thank you I thought it was just me. I enjoyed H2H in Fifa 12 but the speed of the games in Fifa 13 is ridiculous. I had the early release and noticed it right away.

Re: FIFA 13 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

Anybody can help me with the passing?? I have it on default and the passes aren't going to the person I want too much for me..

So if anybody has any tips for me on how to better my passing I would appreciate it

Turn the game speed to slow and adjust the speed and acceleration sliders.

Re: FIFA 13 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

I really really wish I could turn off the dude who announces scores after each game. That adds almost nothing to the game and he sounds like a freakin' robot!
