FIFA 13 Feedback

I love playing fifa 14 especially online. However, what really bugs me is editing teams or adding players from ouside of the team in online head to head mood, By doing that, playing online becomes more fair and fun.
INSTEAD I suggest making a team of the week from every league and allowing online players to use them with weekly squad update. Each league has it's official team of the week and I suggest that as a source!

FIFA 13 has been the first version that I truly invested in online play, overall I've been playing about 10 years. For me FIFA was always 2-players (coop) and career/seasons was mode of play. Playing FIFA 13 online 2-player (adding guest) against single players 99.9% of the time it quickly became clear that this version was created for the single player and the challenges 2-player creates are exploited by default (even AI). Over time my 2-player game has improved and I still believe it the best way to play the game. Nothing can replace the creativity of teammates (ie other humans) who know each other's game or compare the goal scored after going end to end with a perfect string of plays while in a state of constant improvisation. I was never a "soccer" fan, yes I'm American, I only recently grown to appreciate the game. Double whammy for me my intro to the sport came via Man U, which makes you largely hated by most of the world. Oh well, again American- used to it! My ability to insult and curse in other languages has greatly improved (special thanks to UK- masters of slang) and of course this is part of the world game and expected of true fans. I would like to see other Coop teams on the next FIFA and modes that allow these teams to play against each (Coop Leauge). Here's what I've learned A (advantages) that might persuade you to grab a friend for your next match.
*Run interference- well timed blocking and intentional collisions are rarely called fouls and gives your teammate space to work or make a play that leads to a goal
*Misdirection- a teammate streaking to a corner in full sprint forces opponents to react, while you use the space created and make a run somewhere else
*Throw ins- throwing to teammate who can be any player and run in any direction (never get intercepted again). This also applys to goal kicks, free kicks, corners
*Defensive superiority- 2 players playing cooperative defense will overwealm your enemies (they may juke 1, but they can't account for both and you'll win the possession (and frustrate opponents). Defeat the give and go with Ronoldo that you see 50 times a game, know is coming but still get beat for automatic goal anywhere within 35 yards of net by blocking predictable run or playing back to position for a crushing slide tackle when he's most vulnerable (the trusty double slide tackle from 2 directions can give the Dr. on the touch line as much time on air as the commentators. Use X to get in a good position or keep a player contained while teammate comes in for sneak attack or let go of X and turbo in for unexpected slide tackle while your teammate covers for you
*Offense- you make the run where you want or exploit what's open (manual throughball allows you drop passes into a space and let your teammate alter his run to get to the ball with room and time, more options to press an attack). Get the ball to the box (it's probably the easiest scoring position to get to but avoid the 5-8 opposing players who steal or block advance every time when playing alone), knock ball to space or teammate, set up short lob pass, get a quick 1-time pass to get around the wall, get some payback with a give and go for a 1-time shot into an open net or a flying header. A double celebration of your choice for an "in the face" to your opponent

Wish List
A combo of buttons that initiates the old soccer riot when you get that opponent who will pass it between goalie and defends for entire second half to get that 1-0 win or the opponent that seems to magically not be effected by the jumpy screen that is somehow jumpy just as you break towards the goal, just as corner kick gets in the air or just when you're changing directions creating that perfect cut that puts them on goal (Riot nullifies game)

Simply put this game needs work. I am an avid FIFA player and this has been the first year I have more negatives than positives to say. The idea is to spend your money on a game that entertains you. Paying money to watch my players trip over the ball and take 5 seconds to accelerate in any direction after taking a touch is not my idea of enjoyment. The terrible slow defenders catch players such as Robben and Messi in a few steps. Clear corners are called goal kicks. When I chose a team that is rated among the top ten in the world I expect to notice a difference between the best players in the world and the mediocre players who outrun and outplay them. I understand it's based more on build up and stringing passes together but the fun has been taken out of the game with the weak dribbling and pace of every player. Personally, Ill be suffering through this year playing this game until 15 comes out. I wouldn't be surprised if I sold my copy and upgraded to playing FIFA 13 for another year.

OK, there is a big huge BUG in your game.

I am playing SEASON, leading 3 to nothing, its the 80th minute, the opponent quits the game, and I get NO points, NONE, ZERO, how do you explain THIS!!!!!!!

I am really disappointed with the game, cause its happened too often!

One word FREEZE. Love the game but almost every second time I go into my career mode it freezes either at the main screen (usually when I select squads) or during the game (usually when I hit pause). It's really frustrating!

I could write at least 100 errors in this game. However, on the Xbox 360 IT IS AN ABSOLUTELY DISGRACE THAT WHEN YOU PAUSE THE GAME, IT ON MANY OCCASIONS FREEZES COMPLETELY ! This happens way to often, and this is unacceptable! Fix it EA, or you shouldnt make games at all.

My team won the league, champions cup and the Spanish cup. The game is in the transfer period now and one of my players feels the team is under performing? so he does not want to sign a new contract. LOL, EA, the AI of the game is laughable, please make it more intelligent. It will be a real joy playing.

I just finished a league in manager mode, my team won the league,champions cup and the spanish cup. It is now in the transfer period and one of my players does not want to sign a new contract because he feels the team is under performing,lol! EA, please work on the AI for the new game, make it realistic!

I love the game overall but I have a few annoyances.

1. Players fall way too easy when they get tackled; and then there is no urgency to get back up when they fall. Think about it, in real football, if you fall as a forward or striker close to the goal, you will be hustleing to get back up or even try to kick the ball on the ground. There is no sense of urgency at all even if the goal is right there in front of the player.

2. when a player gets tackled for the ball, his momentum always drives him far away from the ball no matter the circumstance and he always seems to take forever to recover. Again, I think the sense or urgence should be included when he's right infront of goal with a chance to score, or he feels he's about to be scored on.

3. The AI needs some work. I've had some situations where my player could easily get the ball and he just stands there until the opponent come and gets it.

I have noticed when I give a through ball to my attackers and he is chasing it down and so is the defender, the defender seals out the attackers by blocking them completely! THAT IS A FREE KICK! defenders are allowed to body play attackers, not step in front of him,clearly holding you back while the ball rolls out of play regardless of the physical ability the attackers has. Please, work on that.

Another thing, big defenders are slow, my attackers are fast and should be able to out run them easily, in FIFA13 it is not so, very unrealistic, so please, work on that too.

In the main menu under career, or on top rather, the "CONTINUE CAREER" option is unusable and a waste of data, data that could be used to tweak something important. so, please, dont dissapoint.

When making a substitution, the same scene is played for every player, that scene where the player points at something and then moves his mouth, another one is when two players are chatting, one ties his boot lace, gets up again and walks on. Rather remove those scenes completely. Keep the ones where they at the line welcoming the next player.

The squad report in manager mode, after every month my players grow randomly. I want to know why the player grew, there is no detailed feedback that I have control over. please, introduce accomplishments for manager mode too. FIFA 11's accomplishments was the best!

The replay theatre screen is way too small, 50! spectacular replays that I want to show someone but then the goals can hardly be seen, especially long shots.

I hope this would be registrated by EA, because there are so many errors in Fifa13 that I just have no intention to buy the next title until now.

Here are the most annpoying mistakes:
1. Invisible Players after substitution. In both teams. Invisible forwards scoring and no chance to defend it.
2. Freezes an Shutdowns at the end of many matches after I choose a rematch.
3. The Substitution-Display in the Bundesliga sometimes don't disappear after the sequence and even not after the Game. Only after other Substitions or closing FIFA completely

The last mistake exists since Release and was never corrected. The other 2 mistakes are new after updates of the game.

After all I must say something to legendary mode. I have no problem if the enemy is playing good and I'm not. But if I allways get one goal by slapstick in the first 10 Minutes and then all my forwards allways shoots an inch beside the pole, its not harder to fight enemy, but very hard to fight this "random".

First of all, I'm sorry for my english... That's polite enough by me, because I can't even describe how bad this game is and how frustrated I am everytime I play Fifa 13.

To start it, I must say that EA is such a f****ing liar. I lost an account because my profile got corrupted in EA servers, so they sent my case to EA Studio or Fifa Studio and after 3 months waiting they gave me 10 gold packs (!!!!!???) and not my account back! The reason? I didnt bought directly from Origin, I bought with one of the thousand websites that sell the game by authorization of EA!! The support guy said "we didn't got your money, so we can't refund the money to you!". The weird thing is, everytime I called EA, they said "EA is always good with your players, you'll be more than well recompensed... and then, 10 packs...

I had to buy another copy of the game, and then the frustrating start all over again. Chemistry?? I lost way too much coins buying things to have a 100% chemistry squad on all my squads, it's ok since your squad will play better with 100% chemistry. So, why in the name of GOD some 70% chemistry squads play better than my 100%'s??? Why they keep shooting, running and passing like f****ing beasts if they don't have the 100% chemistry??

Connection is another hilarious thing. It shows green, but when the game starts... I don't need to say anything, everybody suffers from the same s*** problem!

45" 90" are the s***tiest thing in the world of games!! It's like a natural cheat proudly presented by EA and Fifa 13!

I have so many other things to complain but you know what? EA clearly knows what happens and dont do a single thing to solve it.

I wont play Fifa 14, as many of my friends also will migrate to PES, and when someone asks me why do I hate this game, I don't even need to think about, I'll just play an online game and they will see it!

I played Fifa 13 now for quite some time and want to leave some negative feedback here. I gotta admit, the Fifa series is on a level, that is real high. Its fun to play, it simulates football mostly as i'd expect it, and there is nothing more to add. There just some bugs, that i'd love to be fixed within the next versions. The main points that I was confronted with are:

1. Online-Mode: Latency-problems of the other players can really destroy the fun, since its affecting both players. I would love, if the game would be aborted in case a specific latency has been reached. Rather that, than playing 15 minutes without having any chance of reaction on both sides.

2. Strange never seen game-situations:

a) My goalie kicks the ball half the field, suddenly one header allows the opponent to stand free and alone in front of my goalie. The same happened otherwise, I also made a lot of goals because of that. This is ridiculous, I never saw such situations in a real football game.

b) Player partly running through my defense, being tackled by 5 defenders in a row, yet still the ball always jumps to him again, without me having any chance. Sometimes makes no sense too.

c) Sometimes players get out of their defense, so that attackers stand off-side. Problem is, that always just one player keeps standing where he is. That leads for too often to 1on1 situations in front of the goal. Even at high-class teams like Barca or Bayern it happens that a very valuable player keeps standing where he is and destroys the offside trap. I can't even influence it, since the players move automatically.

3. The referee often has the same color as one team.

4. Had a lot of situations where the ball was hit hard towards my goalie, but barely reached the 16-meter-room. My goalie automatically ran out and in the moment the goalie takes on the ball the controls switch to the goalie. That often led to the situation, where i ran into an opponent without having any change to do something else.

Thats is. Hope my feedback is heard.

Hope they STOP the 45min and 90 min goals.
if i play 10 games 8 will have one or both of the goals.

my little bro deleted my ultimate team cause he didn't like the players and now i cant do anything cause he has waste all my money on one player whose contract expired and now i cant delete the account and start again

key point:remove the limit

Everything you promised to improve had become a lie. For example AI intelligence, I forgot talking your own teammates, keepers standing still and letting shots going 1 mile an hour go in and being unable to pass a ball straight was intelligent. I would point out other flaws such as the referee but I'm sure this comment box wouldn't be big enough.

This game is by fa e worst FIFA ever made in terms of gameplay absolutely bs some of the stuff that happens. Won't be buying FIFA 14

1) Everytime I score an early goal on online season and my opponent quits game how comes I don't win? It just goes back to the same amount of matches as I had before.

2) Why does my EAS cut randomly? And it's always when I'm winning or drawing.. Do something about this, it's frustrating me on a different level.

MAKE THE GAME FAIR!!!

Just played a match on fifa where ea have shat on me once again. TOTS Benteke who has 99 strength constantly getting outmuscled by david silva and ramires. Not only that ea have to screw me over some more by letting kompany catch up ramires who is 10 yards infront of kompany.

We should have the japanese leagues and national team on it.

Referees. Dont get me started. Playing ultimate team, and my striker (Defoe) gets shoved off the ball then slide tackled by his defender, and the ref gives nothing, however I completed a perfect slide tackle and got the ball, and the referee sends off my defender and its a penalty. FIX THIS EA.

Excellent beat ! I would like to apprentice while you amend your
website, how could i subscribe for a blog site? The account helped
me a acceptable deal. I had been tiny bit acquainted of this your broadcast provided bright clear concept

The career mode in Fifa 13 is the worst and most non realistic ever made.
I had an experience i was SK Brann a norwegian team. I led them to the euro League final and lost to Chelsea, and i thought well okay it was against Chelsea so.. But after my 2 place in euro League i would expect to get a nice amount off money because its euro League and as an norwegian middle club you kind a need the money.
The amount you get for a 2 place in euro League is
Pitty 1.000.000 eu
I think its a joke and waste of time!
It kind a looses its point of trying to win a Big cup, you get silly 1.000.000 eu for a 2 place.
Off course you want the title but the most importància thing is the money you get from the tournament and that is a joke!!!
Hope it will be improoved in FIFA 14

this game is the worst fifa i have ever played its not soccer nor futbol it suks its for people who dont really like soccer and just want to score theres no development of the goals just a bunch of gay passes 40 yards out the refs suk the game suks thanks ea for being the worst company many years in a row you guys blow

This game the worst FIFA what i ever play. The defending a piece of s***, the control as well! This isn't football game! Physics of the Game is rubbish!And a lot of cheater play in online mode and the ea does not do nothing, protection 0.
Bravo EA!!

Would be a disgrace if next fifa "fifa 14" hasnt got celtic park in it. It says its going for improved stadiums. The only way to improve that. Not just for the millions of celtic fans but all lover of football. Celtic park should be init

Effin' sucks.

You need to do a better job finding out who deserves the points when someone disconnects (DNF). I can't tell you how many time I'll extend my lead late by a fair amount of goals and my opponent will quit, causing me to lose connection as well. I get the DNF, and zero points 50% of the time. If someone is up, chances are they are not trying to force a DNF. Just happened to me now.

they should do a live transfer window when the actual transfer is opened that would be great

I recently bought Fifa 13 for X-Box as I could not find PES 2013 anywhere, I thought I might as well give it a try after a 15 year break hoping to be impressed, I was very disappointed, I will return to PES as soon as I can find a title.

This is a list of a few things I have noticed in the game that are problematic/wrong/irritating.
-No matter how many international matches I have played, every match is a debut match.
-As a player, I would like to be able to request that I be rested, so as to pre-empt an injury that takes me out for 3 months!
-During a day game, when the 4th official puts up his board and we see the players coming on/going off the field, all of a sudden, it is night time but the stadium lights are off.
-When there is about to be a substitution, I do not want to have to wait and watch every player mess around before the sub is actually made, I would like to be able to press a button and skip that cut scene if I want to.
-The referee decisions are somewhat biased towards the AI. If I do a standing tackle on a player, I get blown for it, yet the AI can slide in from behind with 2 feet and keep on going?
-In career mode, I cannot use the "continue career" option as this will take me to the very first save point I created which was 10 games into a season. Instead I have to create alternate save points and choose to load a career instead.
-Being "new" to Fifa again, the home menu is frustrating and not very clear cut as to what each menu option opens up for me.
-During a season, if I happen to have a game on the transfer deadline day, I cannot play that match, it gets simulated. I have to sit there and go through the transfers instead.
-Along side that, if, as a player only, why cant I just skip the whole day, rather than have to go through it 1 hour at a time? I cant buy or sell players so why make me suffer?
-Sometimes after scoring goals, I will have a player run in circles like an idiot until he collides with the goal scorer, step aside and run in a circle again.....
-When I manually change player during a game, the game follows some weird selection system rather than giving me control of the player nearest the ball.
Many time I have wanted to intercept or make a tackle but I end up getting control of a player on the other side of the screen.

The game play is great but there are far too many issues that stop the game from being seamless and give a better feel to the overall game experience.
I suppose you don't care anymore as you already have my money from purchasing the game but I will be going back to PES unless you can convince me that all of these issues can be fixed!

FIFA13 is the worst game i ever played

I would like to see better player facial emotions / animations. The players at the moment all have the same face animations and none of them look real. Just blank expressions. It really takes away from the realism of the game. Also wait times for subs is way to long.

The controls of fifa 13 is horrible ..!!!

Fifa13 is a f***ing joke... how the f*** is it that my defenders with good pace run like morons and keep following the ball and showing the way to the opponents defender till he scores... you f***ing dips*** electronic arts game making community...may you burn in hell and your balls are smashed in the weirdest of accidents possible...this game sucks than any other ea fifa games... its built by morons for button smashing and pace abusing english morons who are happy with their f***ing EPL...which by the way wouldnt have been no where if there were no foreign players involved... EPL and Fifa13 style of playing is similar...get the ball to a moron who runs like f***ing fast and then f*** the game play completely... you f***ing sons of b***es in EA community

This years FIFA has been a serious letdown. The navigation of the menus is far to slow in particular and on Career mode frequently freezes and crashes my game. Also pausing just after a free kick or goal kick is given also results in freezing. EA said they would introduce bug fixes but this didnt happen. Got a new disc and the problems kept occurring.

The new Player Career mode is addictive but terrible, particularly as you are being managed by a seemingly inept manager concerning your game time, poor transfers (often 4 80 above players in the same position), and constantly being rested even though I am at full stamina. This aspect of the game seems entirely rushed, it would be great if it was playable and didnt make me scream inside for being picked for England while 17 playing at Coventry.

Dont even get me started on Ultimate Team chemistry.

Overall FIFA 13 seems overly rushed, as a frequent consumer of FIFA games for many years now I sincerely hope this is rectified for next year. Also the jingle after every game on career mode is seriously irritating.

Once again FIFA you have conned me out of money and position cards. I recently bought a RM >> RW for 1,100 on Xbox 360 and you have taken the money but not given me the card, this happened not so long ago as well when I had 40k I placed it on Bronze (Banzia) Buy Now and the money went but the player did not appear why do you keep doing this. I want a f***ing refund on this coz its really annoying, I didn't buy the £40 game just to get robbed on FUT by it!!!

game is a joke...what is the point of the chemistry on ultimate team as i have a full gold with in form players 100 chem yet constantly get handicapped when playing worse teams with 60-80 chemistry as in my players suddenly can't pass 5 yards or score but the opposing player can score from stupid angles and aslong as he just smashes the ball forward my defenders controlled by computer will just stand and watch as it lets him run through. moving to PES as fifa is a joke and you can obviously not build the game properly

FIFA shud seriously fix there s*** online... its a complete joke. i know over 50 ppl personally who plays online and not 1 has not complained.. its really frustrating and annoying that its too slow and weird stuff happens that would never happen if you werent playing online yes people have weak internet speed but i dont and it still happens, this has been happening for all the past fifa's and i hope fifa 14 resolves this problem. IF it doesnt change than screw fifa cuz its a joke playing online. f*** the guy who helped make fifa online

If i was a football player i would never give my name to this game because this game is a big s***!!!!!!

Fifa career mode, be a pro, shouldn't punish the weaker players. When the difficulty is on easy you should still be able to develop a messi like character without needing legendary mode. It's unfair for weaker player (including me).

I would suggest the following improvements:
- Fault and penalty events should be more evident, i.e.
the opponent should at least fall to the ground.
- There should be a way for the players to control the
strikers so they are not often in off-side positions.
- The referee interferes too often in the ball trajectories.
Pls fix this.
- There are too many ridiculous auto goals.
Pls fix.

Thanks and regards

hello fifa board, i would love for you guys to put back a feature that was in career mode,
when you would simulate a match and then step in.

This Game F*** ME OFF!!! Oh, look there is a 200cm man in the defence and a 170cm man in the offense... So there is a header duell and know advise how won(Of course the 170cm man)... Than sometimes I just get fouled AS THE LAST MAN and there is not even a free-kick!!! Or in the Career, i get no player sold because on the personal level, the play and the club doesn't agree!!! Or the sort of dribble of the Computer... it just f--- me off!!!

ive been playing fifa since it first started, thats what about 14 years ago so i know what im talking about . there is a numerous of things wrong with this game but i aint got the patience to write it all so iyl stick to a couple. WHY WHEN YOU PLAY THE COMPUTER IT JUST CHEATS ALL THE TIME. EVERY SINGLE DEFLECTION (SECOND BALL) GOES TO THE COMPUTER SIDE ?????? I MEAN EVERY SINGLE TIME. whats the point in playing. im pretty sure that im suppose to be in control of my own team, but it certanly doesnt feel like that. my players seem to do stuff without me even touching my control pad (AND NO IT ISNT AFTER TOUCH) after touch i understand but not when i havent touched the ball for a good few seconds. the control of the ball for premiership players is ridiculous. half the time it just bounces off the player ?? for me the game is 75% spot on. but the % is so blind to see and has been from the very start but no one does anything about it. and like the other lad MATT said in the other blog it doesnt count away goals. i mean what kind of so called football people would make a game with such rules ??????? or is it the plain and simple answer we probably all think AMERICANS MADE THE GAME and clearly do not know everything about football, or sorry SOCCER...... GET IT SORTED OR SALES WILL DROP LIKE A TIMEBOMB........................................

I was playing as Liverpool in the Champions Cup quarter final against Real Madrid. First leg was away at Madrid and I lost 4-1 (not my finest hour), however on the second leg where i was at home and i won 3-0 (4-4) agg. So i had 3 home goals and 1 away goal, while Real Madrid had 4 home goals. By the away goal rule i should have gone through, however, Madrid went through, didn't even go to extra time. I dont quite understand why, even if FIFA 13 does not use the away goal rule, the game should have at least gone to extra time.

I hope there will be more available stadium, as well as the Turkish League and the Argentine league .. it would be great .. if you have a TOTW for each league gets in Ultimate Team and finally, one could add new options cheers.

sorry for my bad english i use a translator..

I missing in Fifa more national teams....example: Nigeria, Japan, Ukrain...and more. Too few national teams. In fifa 98 before they came into the game you can look the stadium from outside that was great.
And i miss the real stadium names....example Barceona Camp nou

Well you know playing career mode and got a match coming up. Ohh wait, ive got to matches coming up straight april 1st and april 2nd wonderful i get to play more in a quick succession of time. Anyways if you dont get that i got two games straight after another one on tuesday and then wednesday and theres a week after with 1 game. Why can you guys make one of these two games in that week with one game its so pathetic looking at the game after another. Also your stamina system is s*** if the players stamina isnt 95-99 and they have 2 games in a week their energy bar will be 3 quarters of the way or less its horrible too see.

Okay first of all i do love the gameplay.
but FIFA should definitely consider improving the textures and models.
I mean how on earth RAFEAL and Valencia look like that?
We are paying for the game and i seriously would like models look like actual players.

SHOCKING GAME,I GO ONTO SEASONS AND JUST BEFORE I LAY A MATCH IT ALWAYS DISCONNECTS THE ARENA AND THEREFORE I HAVE TO QUIT THE GAME BECAUSE I CANT GET BACK INTO MENU IM.IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAPPENS TO SO SORT THIS S*** OUT.
