Bleacher Report's Nick Akerman writes, "FIFA 13 is nearly with us. In the run-up to release, I've spent plenty of time with the finished version of the game. Speculation continues to arise as to how each player will be rated. It's time to end the rumours."
Games Asylum: "Outdated football games are a common sight when scouring jumble sales, car boots and charity shops for bargain price video games. Entire shelves filled with decade-old FIFA and PES games spread across a dozen formats. Often they end up in bargain bins, sitting alongside unwanted celebrity fitness DVDs and seemingly random TV show box sets. But here’s the thing. Not all football games gathering dust in the likes of Oxfam are in fact worthless."
Just who is buying FIFA 13 on Wii U? We may never know, but there are more people buying that than there are Bayonetta 2 and Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric.
Sonic Boom is riding off the popularity of the TV show; it's a bad game.
And as for FIFA?
Well, guess that goes to show that there's a lot of older gamers on Wii U that wanted FIFA, then; sports games generally do out-sell action games, and Platinum isn't known for large sales in the first place.
I'm not worried for Bayonetta. It'll hit that 1M mark by the middle of next year, surely, at its current pace.
are seriously trying to downplay Bayonetta 2 with sales
In Fails of the Weak #210, Jack and Geoff bring you fails in Sniper Elite 3, FIFA 13, Sportsfriends, Destiny, Halo: Reach, and FIFA 14.
... Sterling (Liverpool) gets a 69, but is already better than Arshavin (Arsenal), who gets a whopping 81, despite having been crap these last few years...(!)
Remember the score is taken from averages. Sterling isn't a better all-round player despite his great start to the season.
The Ratings are scaled lower and more realistically.
Gone are the days of 30+ players being 90 or above.
70-80 are Good Solid players that can help you win.
80-90 are the really good to great players
90+ = the outstanding best of the best players.
That is how it always should have been.
