Sounds like this should be a very "impactful" game indeed.

jizzyjones4749d ago

Sounds like a load of buzz words to make there usual minor tweaks sound more impressive.

zootang4749d ago (Edited 4749d ago )

I would really like 3D be a pro mode. It would look the dogs running down the wing in be a pro camera mode or even being the keeper with the ball flying at you in 3D.

heroicjanitor4749d ago

@jizzyjones

Exactly what I thought, I'm hoping they couldn't think of any new gimmicks this year and instead had to fix the annoying little bugs littered around the gameplay. They can use all of the buzz words and meaningless statistics they like if so.

oli4749d ago

the injury thing seems unecessary, they need to fix the time it takes a player to control a ball.

mephman4749d ago

Yea, I think it might be rather annoying. If you've got a star player, they're now saying "don't use him".

Anderson84749d ago

i see what your saying but i wouldnt mind that kind of addition

hamburger1234749d ago (Edited 4749d ago )

"If you try to complete a pass where the player is within visible range, it is more likely to complete."

how the hell should you know that?

@below
I hope its that simple and not that the player has to look at the other player.

Stevo914749d ago

Because you will be facing the player lol

iistuii4749d ago

Of minor tweaks, roster & kit changes, that'll be £40 please. Oh couldn't you have just done that with a patch, er yeah but were EA hand over your cash sonny.

Lol, saying that I'll be the first to buy it. Can't help myself..

Anderson84749d ago

its definitely over priced.. but i havent paid 40 for fifa in a few years.. just go to a supermarket instead of game/gamestation and its £25 day 1

KMxRetro4749d ago

I disagree that its overpriced.

Everyone will go and happily pay £40 for Batman: Arkham Asylum or Portal 2, or what have you, and spend ten or twenty hours playing them. Folks that buy FIFA on day one (for more like £30, if you shop around) will likely play it over the course of the following year for a hundred hours plus.

And once you've played for more than 5 minutes, the changes generally are quite obvious to see, and affect the gameplay more than you'd expect. More often that not, they're for the better.

Big_Dom4749d ago (Edited 4749d ago )

It's always laughable when people say this kind of thing. EA are only doing the same thing what Konami were doing with the PES series years ago (and still are). It was those minor tweaks and changes that completely changed and improved the game. Only now EA are actually trying to innovate what football plays like on a console, yet people bitch about them making updates and introducing new stuff? Makes no sense to me.

iistuii4749d ago

Have never paid that for any game as I get them from the supermarket and also get 15% off too, but I was more talking about the crap they come out with every year to make you buy it.

Hilarious things happen when video-game physics go wrong

DSOGaming writes: "This article was inspired by a video that Elias Peppas shared with me. YouTube’s member ‘HelixSnake’ made a compilation of some epic physics fails from Skate 3. And this made us wonder; what could possibly go wrong in a video-game when physics engine go insane? Well, the answer is quite simple. You can get some gay stuff thanks to the Impact Engine of Fifa 12 & 13, spinning cars, boobs that can go up and down, and games with non-existent collisions (yeah, we’re talking about the legendary ‘Big Rigs’ game)."

Lol that Saints Row 3 one :p -- Damn now I feel like playing the game again..

bayport4200d ago (Edited 4200d ago )

Lol the Skate 3 vid looked more like a Garry's Mod vid

Lol @ one of the youtube comments

"Go home Physics, you're drunk"

PS3Freak4200d ago

I used to play a lot of Skate 3, so watching that entire video made me cry laughing.

SolidStoner4200d ago

I never played football games, I didn't know they are so gay!

knowyourstuff4200d ago

When game physics go wrong?

More like when game physics go *right* lol

ado9084200d ago

Idk why you got 7 disagree's. Although I thought the skating vid was funny especially when the guy fixes the bench and puts it back in place and another guy runs into it and knocks the bench and him over

Myst4200d ago

Meh doesn't worry me much anymore. People disagree just to do so, to rile people's nerves or something else. I've come to expect it

*shrugs*

Snookies124200d ago

LOL! That freaking Skate 3 video collection was just amazing... I want that game now...

Myst4200d ago

Lmfao I just saw it and I haven't laughed that hard in a while my eyes are watery.

Relientk774199d ago

Skate 3 looks fun haha

like all those clips were great

no_more_heroes4200d ago

LOLOL THAT was the funniest thing I've ever seen!!! Especially the Skate 3 compilation!!!

wastedcells4200d ago (Edited 4200d ago )

That was good times. Laughed so hard it made me want to search for more.

Sp1d3ynut4199d ago

I don't know that it's truly a bug....it is a Japanese game, after all. ;)

EA dodges accusations of FIFA 12/13 Wii being the same game

Go Nintendo - When EA was contacted about FIFA 12 being largely repackaged as FIFA 13 for Wii, here's what a rep had to say.

lifesanrpg4223d ago

Go Nintendo seems to be scratching for news here. Sure, it probably is the same game, but what do you expect with Wii?

badz1494222d ago

this has been going on the PSP for so long! why complain now? it's no surprise that EA is not going to invest too much for a console that is in its way out and Wii versions are always just like the PS2 and PSP versions - cheap money grabbing ports! for FIFA, the money is always on 360 and PS3 since 2008!

I'm not defending EA here but that's what happen when even Nintendo has abandoned the Wii now!

dark-hollow4222d ago (Edited 4222d ago )

The problem is how much they ask for it.

$20-$40 is steep for this lazy repackaging and they take advantage of the ignorance of those who buy it.

if you don't want to invest in a dying system then don't bother at all, but don't rip off those who's still game on these systems and expect nobody to complain.

TheColbertinator4222d ago

lol EA repackaging old games into the new version each year?

Wait until the Madden fans find out...oh wait nevermind.

GillHarrison4222d ago

They literally mean the same game, with just updated rosters and logos. No other changes whatsoever.

TheColbertinator4222d ago

EA strikes again.

EA 18 - Gamers 0

profgerbik4222d ago (Edited 4222d ago )

Wow EA and here I actually gave you a little credit for Fifa 13.

Now I feel stupid. How are companies able to just rob people like this? Actually getting away with it being caught red handed also?

Can someone sue these basterds already, charging for online to play in old games, now this? Is this not enough proof they are greedy as shit?

Or am I missing something here?

4222d ago
wastedcells4222d ago

They probably don't even sell enough copies on wii to justify any major effort. They just release it with an updated roster for those who missed last years or new comers.

FIFA 13: 8 FIFA 12 Star Players You Should Consider Again

WC - Now that EA Sports have released this year’s addition to the FIFA franchise – and picked up a five star review from us in response – it’s time to get under the skin of FIFA 13, and cater to those players who will have already began to log some serious hours not only in online play against friends, but also in Career Mode and building their Ultimate Team from the ground up. And that means looking a lot closer at the players in the game, and at EA Sports’ ratings decisions.
