FOOTBALL Fifa 13 PC and Consoles

[thedon5]

Already pre-ordered. Free Ultimate Team packs, and a t-shirt (Never understood why anyone would wear a gaming t-shirt in public).

I suggest others do too so then you'll actually feel obliged to play Ultimate Team with the free packs.

Wow.. India national team is included in Fifa 13. I didn't saw that coming. One more reason to buy Fifa 13 now!

Just a quick heads-up lads: the Fifa 13 demo is out in four days.

Look forward to that day.

Not really. You are underestimating how bad they will be in the game, especially with the new first touch controls it'll be tough to play as them.

I wouldn't buy it for that reason alone, you will be disappointed.

Actually that was joke, I am going to play with Man Utd anyway.

The only reason I can think of including India is they are trying to target Asia market but then again there are cricket games hiding somewhere.

 

[thedon5]

Ah good.

I had mates do that once before only since New Zealand were in the game, they were VERY disappointed.

I think that is true, they are going for the Asian market, hence why the Saudi League is now in the game. Decent addition but would've much preferred the Turkish League.

Hmmm - India being included but apparently teams like Croatia and Japan aren't.

UEFA will be OK, as will the Americas but a lot of the football world's federations simply won't have enough teams to mount a decent qualification group!

 

[Bevab]

Add Ghana to that list.

Fifa's losing its mass appeal over the few recent weeks. India's gotta be the most terrible team there will be ever in the game.

 

[thedon5]

It's obviously a licensing thing, they either have trouble getting licences for certain teams and leagues, or they can't be bothered as they know people will buy the game anyway, most likely the latter.

There is no other reason why they'd go for the bloody Saudi League over the Turkish League.

EA are a bunch of money-grabbers, let's face it, India aids them in their money-grabbing.

Very disappointing to not see some of the best teams of certain federations not included. Oh well, they've added Czech Republic to make up for Croatia I suppose, and the South American game will be better with Paraguay, Bolivia and Venezuela. Fact is there is no Asian Cup or AFCON, but there is a Copa America, so Ghana and Japan are as big losses as they could be.

To clarify, in case anyone doesn't know, EA sprang a massive surprise this year by including - finally - International Management, complete with qualifiers and friendlies. Unfortunately, they haven't really included enough teams for it to work the world over. There will probably be DLCs, or maybe the Creation Centre will come to the rescue - there are strong rumours that teams/leagues made with that can be fully implemented into the game this year.

Really like that they've slowed the game down and taken the emphasis away from physical attributes. Have quite high hopes for this game.

How do you know?

Link if you have one?

 

[Epic]

Have you guys seen some of the skill games? Seems pretty cool.

 

[shravi]

Can't wait to start playing some manager mode!

No more holding down the sprint button it seems, first touch, welcome.
