FIFA 13 Gameplay First Look Preview

Amazing write up!

Although its still way too early, I am sold on the dribbling. Far too often I was "forced" to rely on the tricks to do certain moves. Its good to hear there's a clear distinction between what may be a dribbling tactic vs a "trick".

Can't wait to hear more!

I think it is less of a first touch control as an attacking feature and more of one to force players to react more appropriately on the defensive side.

This is really looking tempting, especially since right now I have FIFA 11.

yeah but in 12 there is very few "bad touches" as a result things get too predictable. as in the posting, if you play long passes there is a higher chance that it wont be played perfectly by either the offense or the defense that can result in some interesting situations. makes me wonder if they will put in more interesting flicks as part of the first touch changes.

Running looks robotic, the lighting is always off, skin textures look fake, as usual. What's up with EA, will they stop being like FORD and make realistic improvements and updates, instead of incremental ones each year. They should take a page out of 2k sports' book and make a good sports simulation game. Sports games are the easiest to do, most of the players movement is done by motion capture but obviously EA sports are too cheap to pay players to do that.

i see nothing on your AI defending competently..

which means another year of manually marking 10 players, only to have the guy i switch off of wonder off leaving his attacker wide open...

The problem with FIFA has been the poor animation in dribbling, I hate it ,to be completely frank. The players seem to bob up and down excessively, it just doesn't look right.

can't wait for the impact engine to be just as terrible as last year, which is inevitable. made for some seriously entertaining youtube viewing.
