    Re: FIFA 13 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

    In my last game a CPU player got a yellow card for trying to cheat up on a free kick. Nice touch.

      This.

      I want it so bad. Didn't they used to have that in a previous version of FIFA?

      It makes much more sense than the non-existent hidden logic they use now to determine progression.

      In other words, the transparent ability to manipulate, to some degree at least, the progression of your squad, would be a very very nice addition.

          At the risk of taking us into 'wishlist' territory... It'd be wonderful to have some reserves matches sprinkled onto the calendar. Make all youth academy players eligible; giving us the chance to not only play the seldom-used squad members, but test-drive our youngsters as well. Make presentation like the current practice mode... no commentary or cutscenes, generic training ground, little to no crowd.

            Qb, i think they could add an option to coach the young team/U-21 as well, as in Football Manager. It would add great depth to the CM.

              During my time with the game, The cpu barreled forward, and only forward, at all costs and with high urgency.

              Please post how you accomplished getting your gaming experience because it may make me re-think getting the game.

                  10 Minutes, Slow, World Class Default the CPU dose not barrel forward and very often back passes but you may have a different definition of barrel forward.

                    Two things that are starting to bug me more and more.

                    1st: getting checked like the AI is playing hockey with no fouls, yet they get plenty of free kicks all game

                    2nd: the AI chop move with the ball, just going in circles around my players. I remember this being bad in 11, not so in 12, but back in 13.

                      Similar, except I turned up pass errors. Good battles midfield.

                        Well, I think barrel forward is pretty standard for "every pass being a manic, direct forward pass without the finese of passing sideways, taking shape at midfield and moving the ball around in an arc or in a slow probing fashion, to include passes that go backwards to reset the cycle"

                        You mention you play on World Class and that opens me up to re think the game. Youre likely better than me if you play on that level. I only played on the middle level.

                        So, is it possible that on the middle level the teams all play the same, with no finesse? Do others, like you, find that only the higher levels are where the cpu teams play more realistic soccer?

                        And, would that also mean that on higher levels the cpu would sub more appropriately and change its formation to suit the game circumstance?

                        If on the higher levels the cpu plays less straightforward and passes sideways and backwards I will want to buy this game.

                          Maybe the solution is playing Ligue 1. I just played World Class, default, 10 minutes on slow, Marseille (me) vs. Lyon and I saw nearly everything that people complain about. I had 3 free kicks in scoring range which I have almost never seen in FIFA. The pass accuracy was 84% me vs. 82% Lyon. I fouled the CPU once, 6 fouls for the Lyon and 2 yellow cards. 54% possession for Marseille. Shots were 11 to 11. I had 4 minutes extra time in the second half, and won pretty much at the whistle with Raspentino. Incredible game.

                            Turn up passing errors. You'll notice that the CPU has to work to control their passes, and that will translate into them back-passing and using other passing methods due to the pressing defense. When the CPU can just handle passes, they can easily transfer on to the next pass.

                            I was playing pro, but I started to notice that once I got into a groove the CPU was struggling to even get one shot against me consistently. So now I'm playing world class, and I'm having to adjust a bit. My major issue was my team's tactics. I didn't really look at them, and I realized my team was geared towards the cross when I don't really like to cross it very much. So against pro, no big deal, I could overcome that. Against world class, I can't do that so I've had to change my team tactics.

                              1. Crossing is my favorite thing to do. Pretty good at it which shocked me.

                              2. Having a player with good dribbling skills and very good balance is just awesome. Quite rewarding seeing your player still hold on to the ball when there is 2 defenders trying to steal the ball from you at the same time.

                              3. Getting that goal saving clearance is an awesome feeling.

                                All I did (needs a lot more testing) is bump passing error (for both human and cpu) up from 50 to 60 (I actually lowered this back down to 55 as on the lower leagues it is actually too sloppy). I bumped up man marking (both again) from 50 to 70 (makes the defensive AI a little better).

                                With pass error on 60, I was seeing Arsenal miss passes. Pass accuracy for both teams was in the 80% range if I remember correctly which felt pretty good. My player got loaned out to League 2 and I had to turn down pass error to 55 and the game was very sloppy. Lots and lots of midfield play and very few scoring chances.

                                I need more testing but I think you have to set the number based on what league you are in. The top teams in top leagues are going to move the ball flawlessly unless you crank up the pass error.
                                Go Sabres!
