FIFA 13

Also curious as to your sliders, Placebo. Transferred over from last years and felt different...would love to see what you're using.
 
Add another to the list of those wanting your sliders, Placebo! :)

Team individuality note: I'm playing Norwich as West Ham and they are DEFINITELY sending the long ball up to Grant Holt! Great to see and a massive difference to Barcelona!

Is anyone else finding the passing speed to be too slow? I'd bumped it up to 58 and it was fine but when I switched to Tele camera, all the way zoomed out, even that was just too slow. Very strange and bumping it up more doesn't seem to make much difference. Thoughts?

How is it ok? They've removed key elements of the game that were there for about three Fifa's in a row, removed it with no warning and for no good reason.

I'd presume the reason is the Be a Pro mode has been worked on, and the pace of growth you'd desire there is different to what you'd expect in the Manager side of things.

Apples & oranges. Really doesn't bother me.

Same here. I think I'll start out with the FIFA 12 settings and see how it goes. :BOP:

BTW, I got it. Just about ready to fire up my first career mode.
 
Absolutely love the little contextual dinked passes you get sometimes, don't think I've seen anything like that before in a footy game, KPB just did a horizontal pass in between two opponents like that and then Montolivio took a touch and as the ball bounced hit a 25 yard half volley into the bottom corner, the key point is that it would never have happened if it wasn't for the dinked pass by KPB.

Also this game is absolutely beautiful on PC, I've got the LOD tweaker running with an ENB series mod, highest rendering settings at 2048x1152 resolution, check the vibrancy on this:

I enjoy going through the individual highlights at the end of the match and just re-watching them in slow-mo haha. I wish they would increase the level of in game presentation though, slightly longer replays and replays even on off target shots etc. You could disable it online even, but I feel like you have this long and laborious opening sequence that shows 30 different shots of the crowd and then everything is rushed as hell during the match.

Due to the accomplishment system of growth, VPs were never in-sync with typical player growth rates, so that's no reason to now remove the VPs.

And it gets tiring hearing people just shrug it off saying it "doesn't bother them" - the point is that it bothers a lot of people that they removed the VPs from manager mode for no apparent reason or benefit.
 
I would imagine that EA collect data about what game modes people are playing and what features are used the most. So if it was indeed a popular way to play, then they would surely know about it, in which case you'd think they must have a good reason for removing it.

Wasn't something I ever tried, fwiw.

You would think so but considering past experiences EA do not get the benefit of the doubt.
 
Has anyone seen a guide or anything that helps to make the most realistic CL and EL possible? Disappointed there's no ROW teams included, and the Europa League is pretty tough as well.

Which is no different to the people who it doesn't bother hearing that it bothers you. :BOP:

Why do you enjoy a player growing at an artificially faster rate than the rest of your squad. I'm genuinely interested.

My VP didn't increase that much in 12 was really quite slow to build him up which was great.
 
Also the replay thing is really bad, as we mentioned before, but it seems like they have more or less got rid of automatic replays?! It is really annoying. Played a few games today and I didn't get any automatic replays after shots on goal etc
 
The more I play the demo, the more I dislike playing the game.

Someone tell me the CPU AI is more bearable in the full game, PLEASE! Every single team is able the pass their way out from the back EVERY time. It's driving me insane.

Also, I've played PC and XBOX demo tonight side by side- the xbox demo is SO much faster than the PC version.

Yes I maybe on a 20" monitor and a 40" TV but still - the difference in speed is huge.

Makes me want to get it for the PC...

I never said that I enjoyed my VP growing at an artificially faster rate. In addition to the separating of the offline and online VPs, one of the things many of us had been asking for was the retooling of how offline VPs progressed.

I hated the accomplishment system, but that doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy having a VP as part of my CM experience. There's no reason to throw out the baby with the bathwater, as they say.

Put your Xbox on the monitor and tell us how it feels.

Gotcha, so it was broken before, but that was better than it not being there.

So in that case, why is a Created Player so much less than a VP?
Gameface?
Accomplishment notifications?
Other things?

Interesting.

How do the League 2 teams play? And do all League 2 teams play the same?
 
Playing PC version unlocked via vpn had cracking first game match seems right speed to me with slow selected.

Annoying thing is im getting stuttering not sure whats causing it at moment anyone else stuttering?

League 2 teams feel better in some ways than Premier League teams because the game is slower so you have a bit more time to think where to pass/dribble/shoot.

I did Wimbledon v York and York actually kept it on the ground more than Bolton and Norwich did. I don't know if that's because I was playing better than Bolton and Norwich but the York game was more even, so the former teams played long ball to be defensive.

Or it could be that Bolton and Norwich have custom tactics set up by EA but York don't.

Edit: Although I should point out that York weren't playing tiki-taka by any means. They were keeping it on the ground but the dramatic difference in passing ability and first touch (it was definitely noticeable) meant they couldn't string passing moves together as well. And when they did they weren't as polished as Barca's.

I am trying to put my finger on why the game feels wrong and I think I finally have it.

The whole player AI is just set up for counter attacks every time. Every time the CPU clears it they have men widely available with nobody marking them.

There is no pressure, no "willingness" to get the ball, nothing. It's too rigid.

The slow passing on manual is also rubbish too, why couldn't they leave a bit of zip in some passes without having to use R1+longball?

Shooting seems slow as well, both to respond and the pace of the ball. Although, I don't get many shots!! I've seen some awesome volleys and half volleys but ground shots seems weak...
