I tried FUT on '12, hated it. Waste of space on the disc and only there to give the appearance of longevity within the game
I thought it was **** on Fifa 11, but on Fifa 12 It took some getting into, but I ended up liking it. It's great when you get your team together.
I always like the music on Fifa unlike many games it feels as if they have bothered to fight suitable soundtracks to go with it.
Got two decent mainly bronze/silver dutch and belgian teams, with van der Wiel and Defour in respectively. Last year I saved my web-app coins and started with a bronze team with good chem and then it's really easy as most people you play are a) new to Fifa and/or b) have a really low chem side. Trying to decide which one I'm going to take on though, lots of fun players from both nationalities.
Definitely think this FIFA is the best one yet by a good distance. One thing I do miss though is not being able to use my pro in manager mode, but on the other hand the AI in Be A Pro mode is vastly improved and they don't play like both teams are on amateur difficulty any more. Pro Clubs is awesome and I love that it's a different pro you play with to the single player version. Also I have a feeling it'll prevent most cases of cheating for your accomplishments. Menu system is annoying though it takes about 5 mins to find anything.
Coloccini stats on Fifa 13 - Accelaration 68 Sprint Speed 67 Agility - 55 Reactions - 79 Jumping - 86 Strength - 79 FFS EA SUCH LAZY ****S. Saylor and Colo are both 79 for strength on the game... Agility 55? Are you ****ing kidding me? I know he's not in the same league of agility as Ben Arfa and Anita ect, but his feet are nippy and that's part of his quality. Reactions 79? FFS! His pace... I think I agree, but I think his Acceleration should be in the mid 70's, he's pretty quick off the mark, just not over a short distance. I think his stats should be - Acceleration - 74 Sprint Speed - 69 Agility - 79 Jumping - 73 Strength - 77 Saylor's strength should be around an 84. He's a strong bloke.
Not long till its out now if my order doesn't arrive on friday will be gutted. I hear some people can play a week earlier though if they have some sort of Season ticket, bastards.
Lazy EA. How dare they not pay more attention to Coloccini, you should write them a letter. "Dear EA, stop fannying around with the 100,000 other players you've got to customize and fix Coloccini NOW, or I won't give you forty quid."
By my reckoning, you - and you alone - thought Fifa was being launched on a Saturday at 6:01pm. How did you get that so wrong, what did you read that led you to this understanding? You see? This guy will also be allowed to vote, and they wonder what's wrong with broken britain.
That's just one of the many obvious mistakes they make when rating players. If it were little things, I'd not care, but there are obvious qualities players do or do not have, and all they'd have to do is watch a few segments of gameplay to see the players talents and attributes clearly. They've made Colo a slow and unskillful CB on Fifa 13, when you can quite clearly see after just minutes of watching him, why he is so good and got into team of the year. He's fantastic on the ball, great skill and nippy.
My bad, my psychic ability to work out that you don't live in the UK was absent when reading your initial post. Which in turn seemed to neglect the fact the vast majority of people on this board are in the UK..... Anyway, the tongue out did imply it was a joke. Still, good news all round - you're smarter than you appeared, and you don't live here so don't vote. Oh, and I've no idea what a "****ing vote card" is, nor do I quite understand how my reply indicates I "have no idea how the world works". The irony, however, of your diatribe isn't lost on me. Nice one.
Wait, are you telling me I could play fifa 13 tonight if I payed for the download? Don't you need an EA season ticket?
As far as I know as long as you have a season ticket you can download it (on Xbox at least) a week early and play until release day. It's a slightly different version of the game though, so I can't join people with early access and it says on their gamertags "Fifa 13 Early Access" Nedders I don't know why you think he must be outside the UK to be playing early...
Is it normal for Amazon preorders to arrive early? I only ever preorder with GAME because they come early too (usually) but lately have been on release day or even later! Not that I order an awful lot of games but would be handy to know.
