    FIFA 13 Retail Impressions

    Christmas in September is here! FIFA 13 has hit the streets of North America!

    Use this thread to discuss the new release from EA.

    I managed to get in one match so far. I won, at Stamford Bridge, as Chelsea over West Brom, 5-3.

    I played on default World Class using Semi-Assisted controls and 15-minute halves and Slow Game Speed. The Baggies out-shot me, 24-10 and possessed the ball for 52% of the match. They had 14 SOT to my 6. There were 7 fouls and one yellow.

    Obviously, I have alot of slider work to do. I shouldn't lose, statistically, to WBA.

    That said, I enjoyed the match and am excited to get sliders worked out.

    FYI, the presentation is completely different from the demo (overlays and such) which was the same as 12. That was a nice surprise for sure. This game is beautiful!

    I played another half, with a bunch of slider tweaks, last night. The one thing that is definitely noticeable, slider-wise, is that the Shot Error slider most definitely has an effect.

    I got about 3 hours of sleep, it's going to be a long day at work.

    Going to pick this badboy up today at a ma pa store near work. Decided to keep my Amazon bucks for something else down the line.

    Are we going to setup another PS3 online "league"?

    Haven't been able to pick this up yet, but am very much planning to.

    Seen ESPN broadcast presentation in a few videos which looks SO MUCH BETTER than the usual EA SPORTS stuff. See these videos as evidence:

    Envious of you guys right now. I hope I can pick this up soon. Does anyone not think this is the game of the year for sports? The additions to career mode are just awesome.

    I'm still getting serious lag on in-game replays. Anyone else?

    It certainly will get my vote, I'm sure.

    For those who think the game plays too fast, play on Slow with Sprint Speed at 38. Feels perfect to me.

    I'm absolutely loving this title. The difference in the gameplay (particularly First Touch Control) is outstanding and there is a HUGE difference in the CPU AI. The AI, on attack, is much more organized and uses great tact in their passing game. The CPU no longer just pushes the ball straight ahead. They actually employ back passing and it is a big improvement over 12.

    You going to be posting your sliders soon. I'm actually going to try to play some career mode this year.

    In regards to AI, there is also more of a sense of urgency when they are down late in the game. They take more chances. I love it.

    Excellent. Now, the most important ? is when you going to fire back up the TGT Cup?

    At this point, I'm not interested in being in a FIFA league. I will have my hands full with sliders and Career Mode.

    Os only gave fifa13 an 8.5! What a joke. How is this game and Madden on the same level??? Madden is far below FIFA 13 IMO.
