FIFA Soccer 13 Demo Impressions

[razorkaos]

overall, 13 looks and plays better than 12. but i think Attacking AI dont works as it should, defensive AI is dumber than ever, the normal speed is too fast for my taste, and, one more thing...

its just me, or manual passing/crossing looks easier this year? i know im playing full manual for more than a year, and passing is, by far, my best weapon in this game, but in the demo, im able to switch the play whenever i want, with an incredible accuracy, and even considering the power of the pass due to the first touch control...

I had fun with the demo, but it's definitely starting to feel stale for me, and I can't justify shelling out another $60 this year. May just rent this one a few times during the season to get my fix, and if the retail version blows me away somehow...........bada bing bada boom.

Fascinating. Not that your view is wrong, but I can't stop playing the demo. I'm choosing it over retail NHL 13.

I looking forward to the game after finally playing the demo. I'm sure adjusting sliders will help out the overall experience but I still enjoyed the game demo as a whole and I'm thoroughly excited for the release next week

Haha, that lockout doesn't have you pumped to play a hockey game? Like I said, I'll definitely rent Fifa, and if history is any indicator, I'll cave in and buy it just to play with friends. I just wasn't particularly floored by anything in the demo. As mentioned in the article, it's tough to judge a game based on 3 minute halves, but honestly I didn't really notice any of the first touch "unpredictability" that is getting such positive feedback. Probably more noticeable when you aren't playing with really, really good teams like the ones on the demo.

I saw first touch work on various occasions; in including passes that went off the foot to a defender, go out of bounds, etc. I saw and felt the difference between better and lesser players.
