Re: FIFA 13 Thread

Haven't even played online yet :coffee:

I spent a good hour and half just on the skill challenges. The chip shot one was actually quite tough. My favorite is easily the lobbed pass one though. Totti is goat at that.

After that, I started a player career mode with the Chicago Fire. I'll start my Manager Mode career with Roma in the morning.

As for the game play...first touch control is quite good, but if your player doesn't have good ball control attributes, they have cinderblocks for boots Laughing

....passing and shooting are both solid, but I overhit so many of my corners, it was ridiculous. Playing on Pro now and have found it marginally easy so I will eventually kick myself up to World Class soon.

Since you're playing Pro Career with the Fire as well, McLewis, I'll direct this question at you (both others are free to answer): Have you noticed a glitch where news stories pop up without a name in them? Like, I'll see one come up saying " is unplayable" with the article going on with the same blank space where it's obvious a player's name was meant to be included but wasn't. Not sure what's going on there...

I'll start a player with Chicago too, eventually Razz

Electronic Arts has been caught red-handed selling a barely updated re-release as a full sequel. While it's often hard to tell the difference with sports games, it's really bad this time, since the Wii version of FIFA 13 really is just FIFA 12.

The only difference comes in the form of the number (obviously) and a few transfer/kit updates. Everything else is identical. Most sports games at least try to add new features, enhanced visuals, or something to justify the sequel. FIFA 13 doesn't bother, tricking customers into spending $40 on what could have been a free downloadable update.

FIFA Football on PS Vita is the same thing, just FIFA 12 repackaged. It's also drawing further heat off the back of EA's Wii shenanigans.

Wow. Just ... wow. Not even I have the words for this one.

LOL, heard about this minutes ago. Oh, dear.

(I know, it's just the Wii, but this is still pretty bad, IMO.)

Nah I haven't seen one of those. I've only played 5 matches though so it's still early going.

Just started my playing career as an AMC for the mighty Southend United. My season objectives:

Average rating of 7.9
Pass completion of 86% or higher
Score and/or assist 24 goals
Create over 72 scoring chances

Yeah, that's not asking a lot. Laughing

I'm f*cking awful at this game i might as well serve as a personal confidence booster for others.

Even LM could beat me now ffs

Me too, i can barely create chances against legendary let alone scoring. Laughing

Well i guess i have to bring down the level for the time being. :facepalm:

To be fair, I'm on course to get around that from CDM so it should certainly be doable.

Good thing there's auto save in career mode, since it occasionally freezes, which means PS3 has to be restarted.

Heading from crosses really needs tweaking, far too easy to score on H2H

Well they had to give something back since they took away the easy finesse shots, you know.

Just loss five 1-0 games in a row to Madrid fanboys in which I dominated Laughing

Don't care what people say, but Madrid are a shitload stronger, Benzema sprints as fast as goddamn Bale, and Khedira is better than prime Redondo

by Blue Barrett Sat Sep 29, 2012 9:22 pm

^LOL

I succumbed to using Madrid myself.

by Ganso Sat Sep 29, 2012 9:31 pm

I never use Madrid,Its not even fun,its like an automatic win

Can't seem to play a seasons match atm. Keeps getting stuck in the arena prior to the match.

by Onyx Mon Oct 01, 2012 9:29 pm

A glitch in career mode, which won't allow me to go past a certain day without freezing the console.
