Firstly, sorry if I am creating a duplicate thread, but couldn't find another Fifa 13 one.
So the game launched last night, and I'd like to know what guys think of it so far if they have managed to play it yet. I am however referring most;y to the pc version. How does it differ from Fifa 12, and are there really any significant changes or is it mostly cosmetic?
Thanks
I have spent an entire afternoon playing FIFA 13, and as promised, here are some of my impressions...
First thing's first, this game is indeed bang for your buck. A few things have only been slightly touched up and a few more things have seen improvement akin to an overhaul. All this makes for a completely brilliant experience. The 1st thing you'll notice is the slightly revamped UI, which doesn't hurt at all. Exhibition matches (Kick-off option) give you the option to play with your team's default form or to use your team's current real life form (a small, but valuable change).
The Career mode (Manager, I haven't yet tried as a player) is much more improved as well. Just as with FIFA 12, players can make requests, then subsequently praise or moan about your actions thereafter, but now, even the commentators get in on the fun, discussing whether or not a transfer affects a certain player, even the morale of said player. Transfers are much more in depth than what was offered in previous FIFA iterations: You can make an inquiry to a club about a certain player you may have interest in before you make an offer, the club would reply with what they think their player and more.
I've only played the Manager mode and a few exhibition matches, so, let's get to the actual meat of the game, the gameplay itself.
Graphically, its seen a few touch ups, but not much (and it doesn't matter). The gameplay is what makes this game FIFA 13 and not FIFA 12.2...
The new dynamic one-touch system is awesome to witness. It makes the game more realistic than ever, with some brilliant 1st touches along some frustrating ones, which all seem plausible in a real life match. It's very balanced in that it allows you to be thoughtful of how you pass or lob the ball, and to whom you pass it.
The Collision engine is now more refined. I've yet to experience some of the awkward collision that FIFA 12 produced. Basically, what you see in the game is what you'd expect to see in a real life game. The attacking AI is also much more improved in creating openings, changing positions to accommodate a counter attack, or even just to provide extra man in front of goal.
The pace of the game is something I have to mention, it might be a stretch, but it feels like a mixture of FIFA 11 and FIFA 12's pace, and I love it... There are a lot more improvements, but bottom line is, FIFA 13 is worth your cash
