I'm loving it!

The game looks amazing. Better than I expected!

It plays great too. The new attacking AI is a great addition.
I'm mainly an offline player when it comes to sports games and I enjoyed the CPU in FIFA 12, but I can already tell the CPU will play a much better game in FIFA 13.
In 12 I played on Legendary (with slider tweaks) with Full Manual controls. I was thinking of going straight to Legendary in the demo as well but I decided to go with World Class. I have yet to score a single goal.

Just look at these stats (I was Man City);

And that's on 3-minute halves! The CPU is shooting the ball!

I can't wait for this game!

Here are some other random pics from the games I have played;

damn im pumped to play it now

[fearwhatnow]

+ Improved ball physics
+ Ball and players feel more heavy
+ Impact Engine is improved
+ Tackles slightly improved

- No fouls by the cpu AI
- AI again is not passing backwards and makes nonsense dribbles in the offensive end
- Build up play is non existent, midfield play is nowhere to be found
- There's no Team/Player Individuality, all the teams feel and play the same
- Cpu AI still not pressuring the flanks
- The same goals over and over again

Imo EA goes the wrong way again.

Just played another one. I love that the CPU is taking shots from outside the box!

The Impact Engine has definitely been improved. They players go down in a more realistic manner, and overall it just looks much better.
They have also added another sliding tackle animation. It's shorter but quicker. I like it a lot.

And oh, they have added this to the presentation;

7 games so far.Cpu is shooting outside the box sometimes but this is after too much dribbling and without a good angle.I have a cpu player trapped outside the area and he goes 3 times around dribbling himself and instead of passing back or look for a teammate left or right he shoots (!!) with 3 players of my team in front of him.This is bad AI programming.

That's not how my games have looked like. The CPU has been moving the ball really well.

Difficulty level?

[fearwhatnow]

Yes, the cpu moves the ball well.Endless forward passing, give 'n go passing all the time.This is not football.For sure it's not a realistic football approach.

World Class difficulty.
