FIFA 13 Season Ticket Early Release Impressions

[bcruise]

2 games so far (10 minute halves), no cards and just a handful of fouls (and a penalty shot on what I believe was a handball in the box). This always kills FIFA for me, in much the same way that no penalties kills NHL. Going to play some more games, but that's a bad sign.

Other than that, it feels like the CPU is much tougher this year because they're playing better positional D - I'm finding it extremely challenging to break down their defense on professional.

Can someone who has played tell me if the U.S. has the new jerseys in the game?

Just started messing around with career mode. Some very initial impressions:

- Being able to play in Champions/Europa in the first year is a welcome change.

- Transfers are improved in so far as interfacing as well as options during negotiations with other clubs.

- Scouting and youth clubs feel the "same" on the surface.

- International teams : This is a HUGE addition. Love it so far. You can spend points to get a national team job offer right away if you should choose to get involved right away.

I have had acceptable results so far with penalties. I played two Mersyside Derbys and was satisfied with penalties. Total was 4 yellow cards and 16 fouls and 1 PK. 15 min half/Legendary with slider adjustments.

Its not perfect but I feel like its "better".

Definitely not saying its not an issue as it seems to vary for everyone.

It is one aspect of the game that seems to be off at times.

Agreed on CPU. Last game, I did see a yellow come out, but not too many penalties in general. That being said, I'm not really sliding much either. I did get a yellow card which could've gone red, because I plowed the guy. Just plowed him. XD

Dempsey wasn't on Spurs when they came to NYC on their summer tour for facial scans. Not sure if they would add him during the season or not, but that would be why his face isn't in the game. Only the clubs with EA agreements have the facial scans from what I know.
