FIFA 13

but the AI defenders themselves are retarded....you can't be controlling all of them at once. Look at what the right back is doing in that video - absolutely nothing.

You have to admit those chipped balls are overly accurate, even with less technical players.

Imagine the satisfaction of pulling off a more manual chipped pass - now that requires skill.

Btw I'm not saying all controls should be manual - just some should me more semi/manual than others.

Can't say I agree. I rarely have a perfect chipped ball unless I'm using an 80 + midfielder, my chipped ball are always a bit too long, and by the time I get to them a defender has already got into a better defensive position.

How is the ESPN presentation thing?

Do you guys in Europe have it?

I love this years version. Thought 12 would be as good as it gets, but this raised the bar a little higher.

Why is this funny?

They put so much doubt into my mind. Luckily I've seen some other people saying it's just fine.

I think it's stellar. First touch seems a lot more fluid than last year and more realistic. There are times it's off but not like ppl are making it out to be.

The point is though, you're using good players. When you're playing with bronze Rangers players, it's just not quite that easy.

Can't trap shit, can't direct headers etc, it's so overpowered, pretty much saying that no players under 20 can control a ball, that isn't Oscar or something.

I'm picking this up tomorrow during school

ESPN asked for it to only be on North American versions.

I conceded and scored so many goals online this way in Fifa 12. Other than that though I'm pretty happy with the game thus far

Yes! I fucking hate that shit. I normally just smash it out for a throw from goal kicks now. That's how bad that bug is.

Why would you do that? Smash it up field and if his defender loses the header you're in for a 1v1....

And if I lose the header, he's through for a 1 on 1....

what about your midfield and defence? Do you give them a path to run through?

Well the fact that someone else is having this problem it isn't just me. I kick the ball they header it forward and my whole team just splits apart like Moses is bopping through.

I understand what Hitchy was saying as it's happened to me many times...but never going the other way as in your case.

How do you import your own songs into FIFA?

NVM: Found it.

Did the latest transfer update and Andre Wisdom has went missing from the Liverpool squad.

I know what Mal's saying. I usually kick the ball up to the winger with full power because that way usually they won't get down the centre even if they do win the header. I feel like they made it easier for the attacking team to win goal kick headers though with the push/pull system.

Played this for 2 1/2 hours last night roughly, and shit I swear the gameplay on this is at least 2 or 3 times faster than FIFA 13 was, even offline. I personally thought offline play was perfect on the demo, but it seemed they decided they were going to make everything go twice as fast. Seems like the ball, players, and everything else moves twice as fast. Had a funny first touch last night too, Sandro was standing still taking a slow pass that pretty much had stopped by the time it got to him. He wasn't moving at all when he touched the ball and it just went flying off him like 15 meters... FIFA - 1 Physics - 0.

Robin da gawd.

He looks really good on this one.

I'm finding this game pretty difficult to navigate, fuck knows what all of these new features are that I'll never use.

Took me an age to find clubs/how to edit VP after sifting through a load of crap. Clubs has definitely been put on the backburner

And now you can't use your VP outside of clubs to complete accomplishments

Much better imo.

Yeah I always liked improving my VP in manager mode, killing two birds with one stone, so to speak.

Just a heads up, when playing 'Drop in match' when you get accomplishments make sure to go to edit pro right after the game and change your boots, otherwise your accomplishments wont save.

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind. I've only tried to play a Drop-in match once but it crashed on me Fantastic start.

That said, Career mode seems a lot better.

Anyone know how to get the pre order bonus code then?

I'm still undefeated in both seasons and ultimate team. Played 13 matches online and haven't lost a single one. Good run.

For anyone who has been playing offline a lot, have you adjusted sliders or is the computer easier this year? If you have adjusted sliders then could you please show me the slider set you're using?
