FIFA 13 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

[Juice Malone]

I haven't played FIFA in forever last game i played was FIFA 09 which was awesome. I'm gonna pick this up today. If people that liked the game last year are enjoying 13 I should be amazed.

I see that the turkish league isnt in the game anymore . Was nice to play as a team with a non euro feel and still be able to play in the champions league.

Hopefully in the future we will get the Japanese and Iranian leagues, so they can put together an Asian Champions League in manager mode. That is really all that is missing for a decent Asian champions league now that Saudi Arabia joins South Korea in the game.

Does EA add teams and leagues with DLC ever? I saw they did Euro 12 as a DLC add on for FIFA 12 last year. Maybe we will get something nice this year?

If a player can get hurt during "training," then he can/should progress/regress during training. So I agree with you on that. Some of the 28 - 30 year old players I had who saw little playing time regressed big time. One guy dropped 6 OVR points.

That being said, if I have a player who I want developing, I'm either playing him or loaning him out. The only players I have who sat all year were older players, and they regressed.

I do wish they had more emphasis on training and practices. It'd be nice to adjust that and ask players to focus on specific drills.

In my last game a CPU player got a yellow card for trying to cheat up on a free kick. Nice touch.

This.

I want it so bad. Didn't they used to have that in a previous version of FIFA?

It makes much more sense than the non-existent hidden logic they use now to determine progression.

In other words, the transparent ability to manipulate, to some degree at least, the progression of your squad, would be a very very nice addition.

At the risk of taking us into 'wishlist' territory... It'd be wonderful to have some reserves matches sprinkled onto the calendar. Make all youth academy players eligible; giving us the chance to not only play the seldom-used squad members, but test-drive our youngsters as well. Make presentation like the current practice mode... no commentary or cutscenes, generic training ground, little to no crowd.

Qb, i think they could add an option to coach the young team/U-21 as well, as in Football Manager. It would add great depth to the CM.

What sliders and tweaks did u adjust exactly? I played the daylights out of this game (season ticket) and never saw anything resembling what you describe.

During my time with the game, The cpu barreled forward, and only forward, at all costs and with high urgency.

Please post how you accomplished getting your gaming experience because it may make me re-think getting the game.
