	The first thing we saw was the removal of the Player Manager option. That�s been done for various reasons, which are covered in the interview we�re posting tomorrow, I won�t go over them here. So we plumped for a Managerial Career with Chelsea, It was the most neutral team we could think of with a big enough budget to play with. I�d like to point out that Dave was driving, so some of the more bizarre decisions were down to him.

	We were asked to find out about lots of different things before we went to EAC but the one part of FIFA 13 you all wanted to know about most was Career Mode. That�s why we�re incredibly pleased to bring you this rundown of the modes new features which address many community requests of old and, introduce some truly staggering new technical innovations.

	A new addition for FIFA 13 are Skill Games, incorporated into the game using the new physics capabilities that came with the Impact Engine. On the surface it looks like they�re aimed at newcomers to FIFA (which they are) but they should also offer seasoned players a way to see areas of the games controls that they might not know about too. The idea primarily is aimed at teaching people the fundamentals of FIFA, step-by-step cranking up the difficulty of each particular skills area to show you more and more.

Put it this way, on PES you can tell the computer is actually using a strategy to score. Each team plays very true to their style. The great thing is that PES gives you an awesome game of soccer - ball movement, strategies, great passing and wicked set ups. I have been scored on by the CPU in ways that FIFA has never been able to dream of. In FIFA, every team just brings the ball up and immediately tries to score. There is no strategy in FIFA, no team specific playing style, no thought on the part of the CPU.

The first time the CPU scored on me in PES I was blown away by how they set me up. PES is soccer, FIFA is a videogame.

That being said. FIFA looks so good. I wish they had team specific play and a deeper soccer experience. Thus far, EA seems content to just focus on looks, glitz, and glamor. Hopefully when the demo comes out, FIFA has changed. The PES demo is awesome.

Time will tell.

Just wondering if it's too deep for a casual fan of the sport.

FIFA is great for a casual fan. It is not a deep soccer experience so you won't have to worry about being overwhelmed. When you are ready for a deep soccer experience, PES is the way to go. Although, we will have to see when FIFA 13 comes out.

Yeah..I bought the 2010 FIFA World Cup and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I don't know much about formations and shifts nor the less popular players.

I d/l the PES 2013 demo and I like the more slower, strategic and tactical pace.

Ugh, decisions.

Excellent post below.

one thing that bothers me about the current career mode is if you are playing as your virtual pro, you don't really get to play your cup matches due to exhaustion. I know in reality, the big stars don't play the early cup matches but I wish it would at least give us the option to play in them.
