I've been hoping for a long rear end time that they add some real quick indicator of which player an assisted pass/cross/through ball is going, as I swear to god when I aim towards the corner and try to slot one up the middle it goes to the wrong person. In fact, I think the most common swearing I hear is people yelling about "wrong loving guy, gently caress this game," when a tap in goal pass goes out of bounds to an empty corner. Just like some sort of floaty halo over the receiving/targeted player would be enough to make me happy.

I think my number one moment of frustration is when I'm trying to get a possession game going and my guys just refuse to make decent passes. I wish it was a little more intelligent to understand that if I tap a pass in a certain direction, I probably mean to pass to the guy 10 yards away and not the striker standing behind him 40 yards up the field.

One of the most exciting developments for me is the new AI, which will (allegedly) look two/three/four passes in front rather than just one. Should make for faster/nicer attacking moves.

Fifa 12 complaints I have that I hope get fixed in Fifa 13 but that probably won't be addressed: - When I do a back pass (manual controls) to my CB who is 10 yards behind me, I'd like for that CB to actually want to get the ball. Not have my left/right-midfielder run back to chase it while the CB runs out of the way of the ball. Come the gently caress on. - In FUT please let me search for specific formation/position/etc cards for Managers/Training. It really is dumb doing a search for 'gold formations' and then having to browse hundreds of cards just to find that 4-3-1-2 card or that one RB>RWB card. Please let me loving search through Manager cards by Country/Formation, not just 'silver managers'. - Please remove the 10 second display on the bottom after someone scores a goal, we all know what the gently caress just happened. Also the dumb stat counters during the match in the top left, stats are for after the match. I don't care that my guy has had 3 shots while his has had 2. - In VPro let me have some lifetime stats for online matches. Also put something in to allow only 1 GK, 2 ST, etc for online matches. It really is annoying when your entire team is made up of GK's and ST's and no one wants to play CB/CDM/etc. - Fix your replay/upload system, it's complete poo poo and takes so long to just save/upload 5 seconds of action. I'd like to share great buildup plays without having to buy $150 worth of equipment to record it. - It's poo poo that they're improving attacking AI while completely ignoring the lovely defensive AI.  It's really just all the little things that they can improve upon but don't. Regardless, I have the game pre-ordered and will play the poo poo out of it.

I would like offsides to be fixed. Also, stop sending my defender off when I win the ball clean just because he was the last man. I also dislike how your defender has a spasm if a ball is hit over the top and he's chasing it with a striker. He just kinda goes to head it, but falls over. Most times he'll just fall over. Just put your foot through it! Apart from those gripes I'm pretty excited.

I hope you can save at least who's on your roster at the start of the match. I hate having to open up team management every time in H2H season to put a reserve player into the starting 11 or subs.

I just got FIFA 12 a couple of weeks ago. I just beat a team on penalties in Ultimate Team and then I got a disconnect message and apparently I lost the match and got no coins. FIFA 13 really needs more than Career Mode with internationals to convince me.

Hardflip posted: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. Another version and more changes to defending. Although I doubt it has as much application in Pro Clubs. Whilst the current incarnation of contain might not require skill, it's pretty easy to beat (it was useful for getting into a decent starting position though). I pretty much only buy FIFA for pro clubs though, it would be nice to see some improvements there. Better lobbies for pro ranked matches as well, if you're going to run a matchmaking system to find games, don't put 6 goalkeeper pros in the same match. Ridiculously long lobby times as well

I never jockey and I've not found it causing any problems. Tackling you just need to start using instead of slide tackle pretty much

It's an improvement because the previous contain required no skill. I had to use a more tactical approach with jockeying, waiting for the attacker to make the first move, eventually closing in with other defenders with RB. Basically closing down space the attackers could get to. I was pretty poo poo at defending tbh, so I'm kind of intrigued by what adjustments they will make. Hopefully it won't be so hard for us defending scrubs.

Basically whenever you would have used a slide tackle in earlier FIFA games use a normal tackle now. Obviously its not always true and you'll still want to slide sometimes but you'll use them far less

I've not played in a long, long time but my tactic was always to use one defender to cover with Teammate Contain and then maneuver my player to cover him/any runs.

Baibai Kuaikuai posted:Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not, but won't that leave gaps in your defense? Unless you do it as a defender, where the MF players would probably be the ones engaging. Is that how it goes down? So basically, Teammate Contain is the contain that's OP, not the "normal" contain you do with the player you are controlling? What I do, is control a player not defending the ball-carrier, and keep them in space, and use teammate contain sparingly, basically tapping it to influence the AIs run into the path without having them over commit and run past. With Auto-Switching set to Air Balls this ensures that the AI will try to contain while I get into space. If they make the tackle it switches, and I pass. If they fail, I've already got control of a 2nd defender and swoop in for a slide tackle. In my experience with this game, which is vast because it's the only game I play, every time you tap the Teammate Contain button it re-engages with the closest defender. So if the attacker is weaving and pulling your defenders just keep tapping the button to have them lunge but not commit. For me, this is key to defending. Basically if you just hold down Teammate Contain you will create holes. If you tap it, you'll end up pulling the correct defender to defend vertical movement.

Well, I mean, you don't hold it the whole time, but teammate contain is the only button I use to defend online probably about 80% of the time. Normal contain is mostly pointless since you can have a teammate do the same thing while you freely move a midfielder or a striker into good attacking position.

FIFA mobile has something similar to this. The player you're controlling has a little arrow indicator pointing towards the direction the left thumb stick is lined up with. It's fantastic, because you can use it to make more accurate runs, crosses and passes. I really hope they implement it in FIFA 13.

Baibai Kuaikuai posted:Okay, I'm confused here, Hardflip. How was just holding contain ever effective? That never worked well for me, especially not against the AI. Basically, contain in FIFA12 seemed completely useless. Was that really a case, or was I just bad? I don't know about head to head games, but it is pretty loving useful in pro ranked/clubs. Mainly because people don't know how to deal with defenders who dont just throw themselves to the floor. It also generally automatically throws you into a blocking tackle when they take a shot or a standing tackle if they get too close. However it does have the same drawbacks as almost all the automatic positioning controls, it lags behind player movement to a certain extent and it also seems to fully commit into fake shots and dummies if all you ever do is hold it down.

Teammate contain you use basically how Blimpkin said, to keep pressure on the player with the ball while you position the player you're controlling for an interception/tackle. Containing is good for forcing wide players out and blocking crosses and shots. I also find it useful for getting your defender to the ball quickly before switching to the jockeying controls to actually make a tackle. I assume the change to this for FIFA 13 is really meant to help defenders using contain by making it harder to go past them. Since you can now control the lateral movement, it won't be as easy to be beaten by dummies/fakes and such.

Pro Ranked lobbies could be fixed with 2 things: 1) Pick your position in the lobby. You join, you pick a team and position straight away. If the keeper spots are already picked and you're a goalie, you don't have to wait 2 minutes just to lose out and start again. 2) Reduce the timer by 3 seconds for every player that joins and put it up by 3 each time someone leaves.
