FIFA 13 Demo Available Now - Post Your Impressions

[Moses Shuttlesworth]

After playing a full game with the 6 minute extender, I can happily say that this is the best rendition of soccer ever, hands down.


It will reward you for playing smart football. Guaranteed.

And the animations are simply beautiful...has GOTY potential.

set it to slow and adjust the sprint and acceleration sliders

I could use help installing the time extender. Im on PC and installed fifapolonia's tweaker into my Fifa 13 Demo's main.

But when I made some tweaks with the program like half length, it takes me straight to the arena even though I didn't select that, and even WEIRDER is that Van Persie is on Arsenal......

I'm loving the demo except for one huge thing. I know finesse shots have always been overpowered, but has anyone else noticed that lace shots now are all zipping in straight lines with perfect accuracy now even with mediocre or terrible long range shooters? I thought lace shots were perfect in FIFA 12 now everyone seems like they're shooting the ball like Ronaldo from outside the box?

legendary plays a whole lot better this year. Starting to like this demo more each time I play

Okay, this is a very sharp departure from FIFA 12 and while it may be a mixed bag, I'm intrigued fully.

I just played a match on Slow with default sliders and it was almost unplayable. The pace was like NBA Jam.

However, with just two manipulations of the sliders, the game was a bit remarkable. I put speed/acceleration @ 46 and I put the passing and shot speed to 48. It made an incredible difference to the style of play from the AI. It's as though I had taken away their ability to chuck the ball downfield every time they take possession. There was more buildup, lateral passing, and patience.

Was it fun? We'll see. It's very early impressions and I'm still holding out for the full release before I jump to conclusions.

Try it on 15 minutes halves. I played one in the rain with Man City and Juve, and it was the best Fifa I had ever played.

Guessing the extender is PC?

I didnt have much time to get in and proper play CPU. My friend and dad both wanted to get beaten last night -_- ...in terms of human gameplay it was so ridiculously fast. I havent tried turning it down but from what I read it's not a lot better on slow but we'll see.

I really like first touch but i'm kind of holding judgement on it. I saw alot of bad touches from some of the best teams in the world, so I worry about what it will be like playing with Aldershot.

Having played the PES demo for a while i'm still getting my head back round the controls but controlling the player (other than the speed) seems pretty simple. First time shots seem a bit tough to me. If a ball is breaking and my player is nearby, it just seems to take to long for him to become my active player and me pull the shot off. Just dont get the chance.

I think I just need to get my head down and play against the CPU some. Once i've re-gasped the controls i'm sure it will be very enjoyable. The presentation? ehh...I kinda like it but at the same time I dont think I ever see anything that elaborate for a football game. When you look at Sky, it's just from the studio to the pitchside for the team line ups.
