FIFA 13

[Fletcher]

It looks great.

 

[Chapppers11]

Looks decent.

So they are trying to bring in unexpected happenings, I can see that being frustrating when it goes against you.

Heskey scores a screamer - "That would never happen in real life!"

 

[RDH]

Really really really cannot wait for this.

 

[Jay.S]

Is the demo available on PSN yet?

 

[Reev]

Demo is out Sept 11th I believe.

 

[Jordi17]

Looks no different to last year, if that trailer was guess which fifa it was I would say 11 or 12. Wont be in a rush to get it

The guys that have played it have said it's definitely an improvement which you need to play to see properly. There's loads of demo feeds and videos from shows on the net now out of interest. It does look good.

The new Fifa 13 Cover

 

[Jay.S]

b****cks that won't be the cover.

It will Messi on his own.

I would like to see Messi & Ronaldo head to head on the cover sort of Messi Vs Ronaldo scene.

 

[deanogee7]

it is the official cover, it was just released at 6pm today.

 

[Jay.S]

Out of all the players in the world they pick the ox.

s**t cover.

 

[Al_G]

Out of all the players in the world they pick the ox.

s**t cover.

I'm thankful for no Rooney or UTD player tbh

 

[cafcross]

Every country/group of countries has a different cover, Messi plus one or two other players.

 

[Revels]

b****cks that won't be the cover.

It will Messi on his own.

Do you ever think before you post?

 

[Clart]

If that is the real cover its f**king s**t!

 

[iain187]

Ox tweeted last night that he was proud to be on the cover

 

[Jay.S]

Do you ever think before you post?

Of course.

It's f**king s**t!

 

[nebraska182]

Someone photoshop Messi's left hand down Hart's pants.

Someone photoshop Messi's left hand down Hart's pants.

Why..would that turn you on or something?

 

[JJ!]

Some nice vids on YouTube inc White Hart Lane and other stadiums

[couzens]

The Benzema goal was awsome

 

[Chapppers11]

One of my main gripes with Fifa adverts:

There is always so much emphasis on being able to score amazing goals and perform amazing tricks with players like Messi in these games, but I very rarely play as any of the top teams, so knowing that Messi can beat every player on the pitch doesn't do much for me!

 

[Cookie]

I loved the Nani goal

A lot of the guys who play Fifa want a decent football game with an arcade element. It appears the majority of the players on many of the Fifa or PES boards want more of a simulation of football rather than a pick-up-and-play experience. It just so happens that EA seem to prefer pandering to the former's needs.

I don't mind. I love playing Fifa regardless of it's showing off abilities. I'll still purchase regardless and I play offline usually so as long as that's been improved from last year I'm happy. I can play it how I want then - fancy tricks and flicks included or excluded, depending on mood.

With that in mind, I still think we're a good few years off a football game being released that is purely simulation.

 

[Revels]

I love the tricks. If I can't showboat then I don't want to play

 

[Scutch]

Same here, but then I love doing that sh*t in real life too.

You should see the comments on some of the FIFA boards off folk who think the tricks and skills should be removed completely so it's more a simulation and not an arcade experience. No wonder EA go along with what they think will work. Credit to them.

The only issue I have with FIFA is that the players tend to look like they're on ice. There's little to no inertia or momentum when turning or stopping from pace. PES seems to have got the weights right with the players and how they move around on the field. It's weird because EA have now put this in place with both Madden13 and NHL13. Strange how FIFA has missed out this year. Still, looks and plays well and I've already pre-ordered with Amazon.

whats the Ultimate edition all about?

I think it tends to be kids that over-use the tricks and do it for the sake of it. I only do it to crap people to gloat. Lol.

whats the Ultimate edition all about?

Free packs for Ultimate Team.

 

[couzens]

hmm not worth the extra £ then?

I tend not to play online

 

[Jay.S]

Demo is released tomorrow on PSN & XBOX Live

I see what you mean, I guess I want a more realistic game that is comparable to 'real' football.

Fifa, imo, has never been messy or rough enough to replicate real football; mistakes by players, heavy tackles etc., but I suppose that would make for frustrating gameplay and isn't PC.

 

[iain187]

Our pro club named the stadium 'uneccasary skill move arena'

So guess how much we like tricks

 

[Cookie]

Got FIFA Street? I like constantly doing nutmegs \o/

 

[Jay.S]

Forget the skills FIFA is all about the pace.

I assume you play ultimate team?

 

[Jay.S]

I don't play online.

Career mode & Fifa nights at mine/friends but pace is where it is at.

 

[chriscummins7]

That gomez goal was awesome. I love fifa.

Cannot wait for this, and I'm excited for the demo tomorrow! 28th of September is my Christmas

 

[Camble]

I play career mode 99% of the time, ususally with a mid-tabled team like Swansea who's style of play I love.

I must have used skill about 3 times in the last year, with 2 of them being accidents!

 

[AK]

Revels I'm defiantly beating you at this one.

Fo'sho.
