GAMERTAGS AND PSNS - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...ZNR2hSY0E#gid=0 -------------- So the FIFA 13 information embargo has been lifted today. A bunch of press people got to play it a few days ago and have started releasing information. The best source to keep your eye on, as usual, is FIFA Soccer Blog. Currently they've posted: Career Mode - The New Features Career Mode - Preview Skill Games Preview Xaor’s Corner: FIFA 13 Impressions Other Articles: ComputerAndVideoGames.com First Look Eurogamer - The referee is a wanker I'll update this as more info comes in. So, summarised new features: Engine Updates Attacking AI - Players now curve their runs to stay onside, don't go towards dead ends, move into space and think one-or-two moves ahead. Defensive AI & Balance - They hold the line better and close up holes more aggressively to counter the attacking AI changes. First Touch Control - Probably the biggest improvement. Most players won't Ronaldinho it down to a full stop from an awkward ball. There'll be varying degrees of error resulting in way more permutations of retrieving a ball, as well as trying to be more careful when you're in control of it. This will end up affecting defenders the most. Complete Dribbling - It's essentially a reworking of 12's LT+RT skilled dribbling, which over the years has devolved into a side-stepping animation. Apparently it activates in certain contexts and feels really intuitive, and allows you to approach 1-on-1s with much more freedom to skin a player. Precision Dribbling 2.0 - They're taking the FIFA Street dribbling system and applying it to FIFA, without being ridiculous about it. In the last game it was pretty slow, but this is all about quick and precise dragbacks and sidesteps, allowing you to face one direction and move the ball around quickly and accurately in order to confound incoming tacklers. Impact Engine - They've cleaned up the ridiculous glitches from 12 and made Push and Pull useful. It actually slows or stops players. You can also do much more shielding and barging off the ball. Tactical Freekicks - Ability to create different types of FKs with the 3 different takers. Add/remove to your wall, encroach on the freekick, etc. Tactical Defending - Instead of just holding contain and defending with great success, you now have to input the lateral decision of the player, or else you'll get dicked. It's an improvement because the previous contain required no skill. Slide Tackling - In FIFA12 slide tackling is basically aiming and your leg goes in that direction, with no guidance. In this game, there is some guidance so you don't jump over the thing or completely miss. Skill Games Instead of running around the arena when you load games, you now do mini challenges such as Penalties, Ground Passing, Lobbed Passing, Dribbling, Shooting, Advanced Shooting, Crossing and Free Kick. You can get Gold, Silver and Bronze for each. The purpose is to beat your friends on the leaderboards. Career Mode International Management - You can coach a national side whilst controlling a club. In Match Live Score Updates - Geoff Shreeves will butt into your games and tell you about others. Player Stories - Way more player twattage when you make wrong decisions. Be a player - More objective based, ability to get transferred, loaned or stuck on the bench for playing bad. Classified Results - Basically BBC Live Score. Manager's Office - You show up on the touchline as a character, and there's a Jobs Board. Transfer Negotiations - More options. Getting closer to FM.

I didn't buy FIFA12 because it was poo poo. If FIFA13 isn't poo poo I will consider buying it. I doubt any official blog can provide me with the information I need.

quote:And then there's the swearing. In the main presentation EA is at pains to point out that you won't get carded for calling the ref a c***. I discover later that this was the original plan, but it didn't make sense in the context of a match: how would the ref choose which player to caution? Might buy a kinnect just for the lols

I can see me getting addicted to the Skill Games. 'In the bin' will be a good thing, for once. Everything looks good so far. I can see the one-touch addition being frustrating for those who use lower league teams, though. Loving the Kinect additions.

Yeah cause it will be hilarious when my mate dave plays with me, hes a swearer The features go deeper anyway quote:It's hardly unusual to hear people bellowing "f*** you!" and "sh*t!" at the telly while playing FIFA. The difference this time is the game's listening. Ive been shouting "Pass it" whenever kcer has the ball in pro clubs, and thats never worked, I'll be glad to see it as a feature in 2013

The joke will be on them when a week later they get a notice in the mail that they've been fined 10,000 Euros and it has to be paid in thirty days or their game will self-destruct.

I am eager to see the Skill Games. It'll be nice to practice and better understand the game engine. Plus, I hate the Arena and learning how to do tricks there is miserable when you try to apply that skill with a 90* spin to the movement due to the different camera angle.

I would like to know if they improved the European football modes. There is no reason I can't start a season and already be in the fake Champions League/Europa League modes if my team qualified for it in RL.Pissflaps posted:I didn't buy FIFA12 because it was poo poo.

URGH I'm so psyched for this game. Just read about the inclusion of the Skill Games and I thought "perfect". There was alot of features I felt I didn't really master that well despite playing the game for a long time; so I'm glad they included something like this. Oh, and nationals! Great, awesome! Also, screenshots show that you can apparently unlock older/historical kits:  I'm very, very excited about this game. I don't expect it to be revolutionary or anything, but I'm so starving for anything new football-related. I even got my local pre-order in. URRGH come ooon release it already!

So will us PS3 users have to purchase PS3 Move in order to curse at the ref, or will my bluetooth headset be enough of an investment for this feature? Here's hoping they fix the Virtual Pro "pick your position" menu and performance ratings.

They need to change pro clubs to be like in fifa 11, where you can see the rating of your opponents pros so you can tell if they're hacked (overall ends up being 127). In fifa 12 you have no way of knowing until you're in a game and they're 6ft striker can run 100mph and score from the halfway line and has a full bar of stamina after 80 minutes.

Baibai Kuaikuai posted:Also, screenshots show that you can apparently unlock older/historical kits: I just want to be not locked into kits. Let me change up the socks, shorts and top combos, not to mention a second keeper kit, please. EA always seems to miss putting in any of the simple little quality of life things that truly round out a game. Like...adding the ability to sign for a big club but get loaned out in a VP career mode! Asking for loans and transfers in VP career mode owns and I can't wait. The game itself is fun to play. There are a few different modes for everyone to enjoy but outside of playing actual matches everything is dry and boring between advancing. I may be the only person that actually likes the single player VP career mode but there are so many little 'RPG-lite' type elements that could be put in (i.e. talking to the press as a player) in between advancing through games. Also, if I start a career with a club, please quit selling every other big named player on my team. I joined to play with them, not loving replace them all. It seems like teams sign on my highly rated guy, and there's some stupid AI logic that the wage bill or some poo poo will be too high and they unload the best talent. Sign me to a better contract then, you stupid AI club. FIFA has replaced NCAA Football as my EA Sports crack game, hopefully it doesn't follow the same mold and just roster/kit update every year while ignoring everything because they have no competition. Blimpkin posted:Hold down L1/LB if you aren't already. Greatly improves correct positioning. This only works to maintain/improve rating if the rest of the OTP people are playing in the right areas. It just seems like my rating arbitrarily goes down; as if the game gets closer to completion and goal scorers/assist creators ("big impact" type rating boosts) remain at the top and the rest of the scores get adjusted to be just lower for final rating. I've seen full point drops while doing what I should be doing in my position.

FIFA Soccer Blog just posted an article on FIFA 13's PC features....yet it no longer exists, not sure why. Here is the rip that GReader saved.quote:Also on display during our second day at the studio was the PC version of FIFA 13, running on a pretty beefy rig and a three monitor display. Yes, that does say three.

Sign me to a better contract then, you stupid AI club. The developer touched on this in one of the links posted. Transfers from clubs are going to be based on more than just price tag; player's happiness, club rivalry, how vital a player is to his current club, among other things, so that when your pro signs for a club they don't automatically bench or sell the team's best player(s). Everything they've said so far has had me excited about the game. I just hope there's no more of the little irritations (score thing, YOU CAN'T PAUSE, YOU DICK messages that stay on for half an hour, drop down thing with meaningless stats in H2H, etc.) that all build up into making it frustrating to play.

Gamescom (15th-19th August) is usually when they announce multiplayer features. It will be astounding if they haven't touched it this year, given the last two years was them gutting the mode (11) and then fixing the bugs they never patched (12).
