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. :nod:Quote:

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

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.

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.Quote:

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.
8.5?? Out of what? 8? :fp:Quote:

I named all of the generic stadiums in the EPL, played a couple half matches, started (without playing a match) my Manager Career (with Houston), and got in 3 Online Friendlies with JB, tonight.

2 of the 3 were very competitive. Did I lose 3-1 on all matches? :DQuote:

NBA Live 13 may be lost, but EA's got one win on its hands at least, as FIFA 13 has sold at record numbers already. The popular soccer sim has sold through 353,000 copies on Xbox 360 and the PS3 in just one day, according to EA, giving those sales an increase of 42 percent over last year's iteration. The iOS version has also done well, with the best launch day sales of the game on that platform in history.
FIFA 12 sold 3.2 million copies in its first week last year, and went on to sell over 10 million total. Presumably, FIFA 13 is on track to do even better than that this year. It arrived in North America this past Tuesday, and will release on Friday around the rest of the world.
Fucking amazing numbers. I understand the customer base is enormous, but the real reason for the numbers is the quality of the game. I can't wait to see what today's European release brought in.

I've been awake since 5:30pm last night and working all night and all morning up to 10am, and I've got to get up around 7-7:30 tomorrow morning to go back into work from 8:30 to noon, so won't get to dive too deeply into the game until tomorrow afternoon or evening.
Looking forward to your impressions Smooth. It really is a great game. I am hoping to be able to pick up the full retail copy in the next few weeks. However, like yourself I am far too busy right now. I hope to get the game by the 15th of October as my schedule clears up a little by then.Quote:
