FIFA 13 Season Ticket Early Release Impressions

[Gnemi]

I'm not against FIFA scripting though. If the CPU is completely mechanical in its response to tactics and context, it would be pretty useless and boring AI.

The key is knowing it when you see it and responding accordingly. In fact, I'd rather not call it scripting, because it's mostly just tactics. Humans have the ability to change tactics midstream, why shouldn't the CPU?

My thought on scripting is that it exists in real footy.

"You're always most vulnerable after you score"
"Teams pressing hard for that late goal"
"Teams packing it in trying to preserve the result"

If the CPU changes tactics and goes aggressive and you don't go defensive then you should fear conceding.

The fact that I've had some games where I just own, and games where I just can't do right, is encouraging to me. It means that I'm getting varied gameplay. And I've had games where one tactic had no hope, and another game where it did.

What I like is that, from what I've seen, the stars do in fact shine. I can tell just by how they control the ball who their stars are, w/o looking at names.

That does seem to be the case thus far. With Cardiff City, pretty much the only guy I can count on to do something productive is little Craig Bellamy!

Also, I still truly suck at scoring goals, so that's no different than FIFA 12.

I've been using semi for shots, and it certainly seems like it gives me more input than in last year's game, I'm putting shots all over the place like it's fully manual.

I play all manual because I'm a masochist, clearly. It's not like I'm any good at it!

While simming through a season with Liverpool, I noticed that Nuri Sahin and Jay Spearing's loans didn't expire at the end of the season. And there's no way to manually end Sahin's loan, though you could buy out Spearing's loan to bring him back (laughable).

Anyone else seen this? Hopefully this can be fixed with the retail version.

Feel a real difference between the demo and the full game, controls feel tighter and AI plays a little smarter.
My main issue with FIFA vs all other sports games if even with manual control on they still control your guy for you a little. I switch to a guy and press toward the ball but the AI makes my guy back pedal rather then challenge for the ball, thus giving the other team a chance to move in front and grab it early.

Started myplayer with SJ Earthquakes and have been setup to be loaned out, so I'm interested to see how that effects my career.

And I love the skill game, amazing playing with a high level guy verse someone without skill.
