FIFA 13 Video - First Touch Control

The way players control the ball has been transformed, eliminating near-perfect touch for every player on the pitch, and creating more opportunities for defenders to win back possession. Poor passes are harder to control, enabling defenders to capitalise on errant balls and poor touches. Factors such as defensive pressure, trajectory of the ball, and velocity of the pass all factor into a player's success.

That is good news that was one of my biggest issues with FIFA 12 last year, but I will wait to see how varied it is. And hopefully all players don't have the same first touch.

yeah. That and EA tends to exaggerate and overuse a new feature in all their games. From what we've read though, I guess the first touch will take a lot of variables into consideration to get a realistic outcome. We'll see.

Definitely a step in the right direction. Maybe next year we'll get Defensive AI IQ.

I must say - while I don't care about features like this - the game play against the AI looked a lot more "controlled" and pace seemed okay. Let's hope that is the case, but it looked more promising than the other user v user videos.
