FIFA 13

Just tried a Drop in match seasons.

Both teams GK run out all game. What a waste of time. I am fuming.

I fear these fucking idiots know each other and are just setting each other up for volleys and goals what they can't get in normal games.

I'ts 62 mins and 6-5 at the moment.

Is there a way to solve the locked account I got for trying to use the web apps ? Now everytime I start UT, I have to answer a stupid security question.
 
How many of you use your own game face? i just tried it out, it looks great on the web, but in game (Xbox) it looks like shit. The eyes are way different and looks nothing like the ones I created. Is this a common issue?
 
My online pass don't work for ps3 I only brought the game yesterday it says redeemed however it doesn't install tried deleting the file from the data utility folder but there is no folder there it seems stuck in my download history every time I try to install it gives me an error

My one is pretty much spot on :DD

You wouldn't happen to have any photos of your face on the website compared to the one in the game, would you?

Nope but the photos I used were really clear on a white background though, I think I made minor alterations after but not a lot (I did my game face a couple of years ago).

I recommend taking pictures with a good camera and on a white background, even my wife was amazed at how much it looks like me and she is always willing to tell me how shit everything is :PP

Hahaha ok cool, will try with a better camera.
 
Hmmm... I don't want to be 'that guy' imagining differences that might not be there, but... maybe it would be good to get a second opinion on this, at least.

I'm starting to get a sinking feeling that the magnetic ball is back in the full version. In the demo I really felt like the ball had been allowed to run free, that there would be loose balls and unexpected bounces... but in these recent Exhibition games in the full version, I'm not feeling that. I keep seeing deflections/rebounds that spin rather conveniently to another player, or collisions where the ball is sucked along with one of the players involved.

I can't do a direct comparison with the demo because I uninstalled it before I installed the full version. Unless I download the 2gb again.

Is my brain playing tricks on me? Because this would be a disappointment.

I think so. To me it feels less magnetic, just as the demo did. Definitely way better than fifa 12.

Can't say for sure but there are so many cases like this. In fifa11 demo for example entry passes into strikers were constantly challenged or intercepted by the CB's, the full version reverted to allowing entry passes at will.

Check out this video from 12 demo, where Sahin stops his run aburptly and shuffles back to recieve a pass, very convincing AI movement, I rarely saw this in the full version and even when it did occur the movement wasn't the same. FIFA 12 DEMO: Bor. Dortmund 0 – 0 OM | EA SPORTS

Yep

Just login to your origin account on your laptop and you can download the game from it without the need of your disk.
 
hi chaps

Just a quick bit of feedback that may interest some of you, coming from a pes stalwart (fifa novice)

switched everything to manual (bar shooting that was semi) and playing on professional level on slow, 8 min halves and tv camera full height and default zoom. I havent yet implemented all your sliders placebo but just reduced acceleration and pace a touch and hugely upped marking to about 85 for both me and cpu to get more of a midfield battle which seemed to work

Played 4 amazing games that i have to concur with Benny felt as enjoyable and intoxicating as the days of pes4/5

Match 1. Sheff wed 1-1 notts fst in the rain - pretty even, but pecnik really seemed class above technically
Match 2. West brom 1-2 southampton - lukaku really bossed it upfront but lambert pounced twice with headers
Match 3. Hertha b 0-3 kaiserslautern - clinical german efficiency and to be fair i defended poorly
Match 4. Spurs 1-0 west ham. Sigurdson was immense, and spurs were a joy to play with. West ham tried to utilse carlton cole but as in real life just wasnt working and my keeper braely tested. 20mins left brought on carroll and suddenly game changed as he imposed himself physically

In summary, at 35 going on 36 i cannot wait to get the opportunity to play again tonight!

I don't play with a pro camera, I think most people don't. I use the same camera as if I play with the whole team. Yes, sometimes your player will be off the screen, but it's still much better than the stupid be-a-pro camera.

To call for the ball you can press the pass button, if you want a through ball, you press a through ball button. If you push the shot button, AI will take a shot at goal. Of course, it won't always happen as if you're in a really bad position, the AI won't pass you the ball.
 
That's good to hear, db.

I played a few exhibitions vs West Brom and vs Swansea, and I thought there were tangible differences between the two teams. Swansea pressed more urgently and played more patient short passes in deeper positions, whereas West Brom sat back and played more on the counter with forward passes to Lukaku.

James Morrison was a nuisance with his forward bursts too.
 
The best FIFA and best football game ever made.

I bow to EA Sports. Fucking brilliant is all I will say.

Have to wait till Friday for game for myself now (played it in game center :D).

ah i see maybe i will enjoy pro mode then if i use my nrmal dynamic camaea or maybe tele so i can zoom oput some more
 
The more I play this game online the more it reminds me about why I stopped playing Fifa in the first place. Even against friends on slow/semi-assisted the game is so fast, as i've said before, but a number of other factors are becoming clearer. I simply cannot play this game trying to play it like an actual football match.

- For one the game still spits in the face of an attempt to play it conservatively. Speed is key. Tackling is often so precise that there's no point in trying to sit back and mark a player. You can so easily run into an opponent, take the ball and keep it at your feet with ease (and break). You never have to fear going in for a tackle and missing the ball. Players often manage to tackle from completely unrealistic (body) positions so long as they're near enough to the ball.

- The easiest way to attack is still counter-attacking and whilst that may not be surprising what is difficult to accept is harder it is in comparison with attacking through sustained pressure. Such an attack usually ends with the player being cramped and the ease of tackling coming into fruition. You rob, or get robbed, and then break ad nauseum. Yes I see me doing the same thing to other players too. There's no way to comfortably get the ball and play the ball in the midfield looking to build your attack on sustained-pressure.

- When I played the demo I honestly thought that the game had struck a good balance between attack and defence so that neither had a greater advantage than the other. Right now it seems the game is back to its old attack advantage ways. I think it's due to the fact I, and my friend, hadn't learned how to attack when we first played one another. Games were less goal-fests and more realistic scorelines like 2-0 and 1-1. Right now, after 12 hours of play, we're finding games ending in overly high scores everytime. Whilst they're always close affairs, 3-2, 4-3, 2-2 etc, it strikes me as odd that neither of us are able to defend well enough for the entire match. I try to stay defensive and it adds more pressure and the inevitable basic FIFA goal (which would would be a fantastic goal in real life) takes place. Either that or one of us is counter-attacked. It's funny that I find tackling to be so easy and unrealistic but games still end up in high scores. I think that says a lot about how easy it must be to attack.

- I find the effects of semi are negligible. It feels more like assisted than ever.

The game is great offline but that's probably because the CPU actually try to play real football, which in turn allows you the player to play the game like a football game. I feel that the CPU acts in a way to punish ferocious game-play Human players aren't punished at all for playing this game in an arcade ping-pong like manner by the inherent elements of the game - at this point we've exhausted the idea of this being a broken record claim and i think it's more apt to question whether time is just looping. I can't pretend my friend isn't what people would describe a typical Fifa player. It certainly doesn't help the experience but it does suggest, how again, the game doesn't punish such style of play. On the contrary, playing that way is actually more productive. I couldn't imagine playing assisted v strangers and having a good time really with the exception of manual (which I have no experience with). Playing online and playing offline is a completely different experience.

My two cents.

Play on manual controller settings online or offline and all your problems are solved.

My two cents.
 
yeh thats a huge problem with fifa in that counter is easiest to score....the longer u have possession the more harder it gets to score i.e. more defnders back, harder to find space...playing abou twith the ball to look for gaps or opportunities is fruitless....

you can play online and have 70% possesion but the other guy gets 3 goals on the counters..

I think it's the only way I might enjoy online mode. I'll try it.

I vented to another friend about it and he merely questioned whether I was surprised that EA have chosen to shape online in that way (it's evident to anybody who plays it how it plays). The truth is that I'm not but it's at a huge detriment to the football. Offline shows what the game can be but it's obvious EA are only looking to appeal to people with crap, fast, attack-fest football when it comes to online play.
