FIFA 13

No Drogba in FIFA13.

He'll be on it. Ivory Coast are included in the game so if you go to national squad selections you can bring Drogba into the free agents pool. When you're in the Ivory Coast squad lineup select a shite player from the list and swap him for Drogba. Then go to club transfers --> free agents and transfer him to a club. I usually go with the first team in Ligue 1 as it's right beside free agents. Then go back to national squad selections and put him back in the team, go back to club transfers, go to the club you transferred him to and transfer him back to free agents and he should then be in the free agents list. I always spend hours before I play CM putting all the top players without clubs on FIFA into the game such as Darijo Srna, Ricardo Quaresma and Eduardo da Silva.

Yeah, I used to have to do that with Arshavin, lol.

Player Growth needs to be fixed tbh for Career Mode to be of any use. Also, the takeovers are shit. Fuck off Stoke buying everyone.

Wembley still looks like shit

Player Growth is shit as is. There is no reason behind it. They should go back to the system were each player would get XP points depending on their performance, and potential, and let the user decide were to assign them. Obviously a tweeked version of that since it was too easy to make any player world class when it was around.

The takeovers are stupid. It is usually a smaller club that begins to buy everyone. In my serie A CM, Chievo have the best squad in the league.

The real-life one does too.

Is that still a problem in 12? That is the reason I never played UT since the first time I tried it in 11. I play CM too much to be dealing with that shit.

I'm not sure what you mean by problem. UT for me is an enjoyable, competitive experience whilst career mode is not. Playing against the AI and seeing what unrealistic transfers they can come up with doesn't do it for me any more.

You keep repeating yourself, they have fixed transfers for FIFA 13, I hope we get an option to switch them off for the first window though.

Had a scouted player rated at 72 at 17, potential was around 88-90 I think. Played him as often as possible, rose up 1 during the season. Pointless.

I wouldn't mind them going back to the system of FIFA 09, where each player had a set growth etc. until they actually create a system that actually works properly.

Yeah switching them off would be good until January.

So has there been any news on the rewards you get for your level in Fifa 12? I'm not a very high level so I'm guessing I won't get the best stuff available.

By watching some of these videos, turns out Balotelli is one of the best players on the game.

Is this actually happening or are you speculating?

Neymar looks fantastic, hopefully they've done many other players this way (not just the 16 camera thing).

Hopefully Hazard will have this too. I saw a video of him in it. It was quite blurry but his face has changed, not sure if it actually looks like him though.

Suarez is rated 86..

Career mode.

Cleverly rated the same as Joe Allen..

Charlie Adam 77..

Darren Mattocks

He jumped like 10 feet in the air for a goal against TFC.

I give up with FIFA ratings. As a reviewer I can say how bad it really is. I left feedback to increase Koscielny's tackling and interceptions. I supplied them with shit loads of statistics that proved he was one of the best tacklers in the league and they replied with "we can't increase these attributes based on stats".

Why is Simeon Jackson still such lowly rated... He is starting for a team in the top flight and is still 68 rated...

Id say thats fair enough.

Don't know why they've decided to make 85% of the established players worse than what they were, it's just as bad as how they purposely made fast defenders slow to make the game flow slower

God.. I hate our fucking ratings. Low end of a 4 1/2.

He played 15 times last year. He's alright like, but he's gone up 5.

These videos just make the game look awful. The same old generic moves are still present. For example the 1-2 + throughball over the top. How often do you see players get 1 v 1 with the goalkeeper in real life? It happens WAY too much in the FIFA series. Where is the first touch feature? I honestly don’t see anything that’s drastically different from FIFA 12. Oh well

I agree!!

Lol.. the passing is the fucking same as last year. Thought they had different features of passing abilities? Looks like you're able to place the perfect pass whenever and wherever you are, with whoever.

Fifa 12.5 it is.

People say the .5 stuff every year.

They've actually gone backwards from FIFA 08

Because it's always true. Every single time.

I look forward to reading the thread on EA that shows all the shit EA didn't even bother fixing from 12. Meaninggggggg...

12.5
