FIFA 13 Feedback

im sick of playing online seasons for me to be winning 3 or 4 nil and the opponent quits the game and i am left with no points advantage...also i thought i might try it and when i was losing 1 nil i quit and i lost 3 points and a game how is this fair? the only way i can gain points is to beat someone who will stay on until the end?!?!?!?!?

this is only one of the major problems iv noticed with online play there are many more but will take me all day and a whole lot bigger column to write about it!

Most of the time finding an opponent in the ultimate team freezes and it really pisses me off. Also refree jugdements are bad.

It may have been said but when I have been in career mode and it comes to the end of the season and there are expiring contracts, I will go and renew them and add about 2 years on to the contract and the player will agree but it will come up saying that they haven't accepted and then at the end of the season it will get rid of the player from my team. It is especially annoying when they are a very good player

What a pile of s***. The online signs out about 10 times every IF IT CONNECTS! So I can't build any fifa points up to buy any good stuff from the store. I absolutely destroyed fifa 12 even on legendary, but on 13 I cannot win a game on professional and I mean I cannot. The computers defenders mark my players so tight most of the time they can't make a run because they're being blocked, but yet my defenders are about 10 yards away from the nearest player and I always end up goin about 2 - 0 down before half time every game whether it be accrington Stanley or Chelsea I'm playing. It constantly freezes so even if I did win a game I wouldn't be able to save it on time anyway to keep the wein because it freezes most loading screens. Skill moves barely work against the computer as they are locked onto the ball and follow it wherever it goes so u can barely get passed them at all. Goalies get the ball for the other team and hold for as long as possible which is about 8 seconds and considering a game is about 5 mins a half that's equivilant to about five minutes in a real time football match. So if you're losing at the end of the match and they're goal keeper picks up the ball u can pretty much guarantee the whistle will go by the time he kicks or throws the ball. It's hardly been updated from fifa 12 bar the fact it's ten times harder, main menu has had all its colour changed at there's a different backround. Also there's the new skill games during waiting times if it doesn't freeze which all in all are more fun than the actual game. I won't go into anymore detail but so EA know I've sold my copy and bought PES 13. It's far more updated and fun to play. If EA keep this up I'm sure everyone will be saying PES is better in a couple of years. And I've played every version of fifa since 2002. That is all.

The game is genuinely terrible at when you're on ultimate team it freezes all the time, if you are winning like 7-0 and it cuts you out and you lose 3-0 and DNF goes down, and to top it off, MY SISTER can referee better than those on the game, I was the last man on goal and got 2 footed from behind and the ref sticks his arms in front and practically plays on, basically the refs are sh*t and so is the servers. SORT IT OUT. i paid £40 for this game i expect a decent game to play on.

I play for two seasons and on my way to world..a few weeks before the tournament..the game freezes! How could this thing happen to us? Is there anything i can do so that i wont stuck again? WHAT A LIFE!

So happy that the game freezes when i score a goal... in fact im happy that i pay to play ultimate team and its frozen about 6 times on me... i was especially delighted when i scored in the 90th minute to go 5-0 up and it freezes.. top game play there im so glad il never buy this game again after 6 years of fifa loyalty...

so many bad reviews and comments bwt fifa 13 new straight away after playing the demo it was a load of bollox same has fifa 12 nothin great at all and at that price no way worst fifa i can remember and pro evo 13 miles a head already and that a fact so well done ea f***ing canadian wankers any1 agrees reply bk we cant be all wrong so get ur money bk and buy pro evo 13

I won the league TWICE in player career with two different teams, played EVERY SINGLE GAME and it still wont give me the accomplishments... i have completed almost all of the accomplishments but it still wont unlock Win The League for Dribbling and Ball Control + 2!!! I am a Midfielder and one of them says you have to be a Midfielder/Forward or Forward but the other one does not say anything. WHY WONT IT UNLOCK?!?! I have played hours and hours every day to win the league twice and it wont do anything for me...

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

i waited an half an hour to play my first season game.
Keeps on disconnecting
f*** fifa i'm buying PES

Hi,

When i want to play a season game, the server most of the time loses connection. What a damm falure.
SHAME ON YOU

this game freezing thing during career mode is ridiculous!
there is a time I can guarantee it will freeze.
if you use a second controller in career mode to play as the opposing team it will literally freeze when you have finished altering your squads then select 'play match'.
my brother and I dont turn the second controller on until the match has started now, which is extremely frustrating as he cant change his squad.
once we have select sides to play against each other again it will freeze at either full time or after making a substitution.
these issues seem to often reoccur when playing with a second controller on career mode.

TOO FAST. THE ONLINE IS UNPLAYABLE.

Where is the simulation?

Seriously seasons is just ridiculous, always get stuck in arena/can't find a game/most of the time when I connect to a game it just disconnects at the start.

Please sort this out asap I'm getting sick and tired

what a failure. FIFA 13 make someone loosing their passion on FIFA instead of PES. To easy to score on air ball. especially for man city. like s***!!! their striker unmark...always offside position..even more powerful than real madrid? realistic?? bulls***t!!! make all4,5 player on attacking and all 7 player defend when defensive? how to beat man city? to much....to much...FIFA suck!!!

Can't play seasons just keeps telling me connection to my opponent lost and to be honest it's getting on my tits happy to sit back and rake in £40 a pop but won't sort any problems out useless b***s

So many bugs trying to play online in seasons mode.......from "connection failed" constantly.....to starting the warm up as a different team then it crashes......to being stuck in the warm up and having to restart my Xbox. I honestly think I have less than 50% success finding an opponent in seasons mode....wasting sooooo much time. FIFA 12 never had these issues!

Absolute disgrace, why put a scottish third division side in the game (who have no trophies no history beyond june/july) yet you cant even get the celtic team or third strip correct, plus the disgraceful matchmaking in seasons which puts me/Celtic vrs someone/Lille who are a star better.this is worse than oranges in pro evo

I have been trying out FIFA 13 for aboute a week now, and I am still not sure to give it thumbs up or down yet.. After hundred of hours on fifa 10,11 and 12 this is my opinion of fifa 13 so far..

The gameplay seems to be more realistic than fifa 12. The collision engine is better, bad passes are harder to catch and it takes more time to send a pass and shoot. In general I feel the gameplay is more realistic...

BUT,
1. it is way to easy to score on airball! Players seams to be a little better on vollys, but the can score on hedders from any insane position. Way to imbalanced..
2. It is also harder to controll the ball as defenders have gotten new shoes the are able to kick the ball out your feet when they shouldn't.

3. MOST IMPORTANTLY, the CUTSCENES in the game are back, they are long, and you cant skip them. Suddently in the middle of the game, the CPU team change players, and you HAVE TO whach a 15 sec cutscene. This is the most anoying thing ever...

4. There is something wrong with the ref. You can break someones leggs, but a lot of random freekicks are given. Sometimes when players dont even touch...

the new first touch is s shocking no every player has that bad of a first touch

It took me a hour and meny god trying to get on line it plays so slowly and always losing con . Allways played FIFA going to buy pro better game.

Fifa 12 was a giant leap. A beautiful game. Fifa 13,is good but could be much better. I agree with some of you here that the player momentum ,movement and inertia of the demo was better, and general gameplay was better also. If you play the demo several times and go back to the main game you will notice that. As to why EA changed that in the full version is a mystry to me also.

Another thing which was very enjoyable in Fifa 12 was the virtual pro. it is not offline in Fifa13 !!!!why??
Not to mention all the bugs.
EA need to step it up....or ,may be they don't have the passion anymore.

You guys make Real Madrid soo good that's retarded and Barcelona so weak that's unfair and straight out stupid what a fail EA

connection with ea servers sucks. playing against the computer sucks.

I really don't understand how a big company like EA can release a game with so many issues. They still haven't fixed the problem where people seem to be cloning cards in Ultimate Team. What is the point of playing if others are cheating, its easy to spot who is doing this! Then there is the slow or dead network problems. I have sold and bought players in Ultimate team but ended up not receiving the coins/players! Not going to bother buying FIFA 14, been a long time fan of FIFA games but if they cant produce a quality working title then I might as well try Pro Evo Soccer.

I hope one day, the refs in fifa will be good,

They are terrible, sometimes ther is a crazy leg breaking tackle, and the ref doesnt do any thing, and when you just push someone,you get a yellow card. i play on Proffesional and its like just to make it harder they ruin the ref.

also the inpact s***, sometimes when one player tackles , another one falls over him, and then another one and another one and ....


Those 2 things destroy the game for me, i really hate it, its very frustrating

The demo was better...much better. EA felt somehow that they should make the players skate more!!
The final game is just more or less the same as Fifa 12.
EA needs to learn from Konami how to perfect the player movement...not the animations....the MOVEMENTS.

Why did u increase the players momentum ??! The momentum and inertia of the players in the demo was perfect. In fact overall the demo was much better than the final game . Why EA? Why oh why!!!????

Why the malaysia SErver keep DC..WHY??!!!!!

I still think there needs to be a set standards of controls for online ranked play. No more full on assisted controls for anything. I'm not a full manual player, I use:

Player switching - Manual
Passing - Semi
Through Ball - Manual
Shooting - Semi
Crossing - Manual
Lob Pass - Manual

I'm not campaigning for that to be the set standard, but it sure makes you actually know how to play the game...not some douche throwing up ridiculous hail mary passes while being marked by two defenders to ronaldo or messi in stride for a breakaway or the ever so popular running to the corners and swerving the ball directly between the CB's onto a striker's head.

It's just stupid. Try and put together a logical play as opposed to simply relying on the game to do everything for you. Use your assisted controls in offline play

Why were both of my comments deleted? I can moderately understand one of them, but the other was not offensive in any way?

I have been trying to get an online game started for almost an hour!!! What a waste of time! I love fifa, but I don’t want to pay $59.99 for a game that only works some of the time, not fair.

Make assisted controls only available in unranked games, that is not an unreasonable request. Ranked games should only be for serious players!

Huge improvement on the player career mode but still room for more.

- There needs to be an alternative to going away on loan if your player is not good enough to be in the lineup. If you don't play you won't get better and if you don't get better, you're not going to play. Why not use the skill games for practice sessione?
- The little news stories are a nice little detail, but they don't work properly. For instance, I have now played 10-15 international games but I still get a story about how excited I am to be making my debut. Get it right or get it out.

Ok this game is great don't get me wrong beat's Pes....
But I have a problem with career mode it's good and all.
yet I have started over 15 career's not by choice but the fact it just keeps crashing.
I save the career go back to it next day and then boom it freeze's soon as it's loaded.
It is really pissing me off because I get so into it.
and then the other bug is creating players. I created Like 2 player's to play for my team and it gliched and came up with a team with a blank badge, and because they was on that team I had no way of deleting them, so I had to delete the hole game files. also having your gamer face player in career mode like last year would have been good. which you can not do on 13

Trying to play online friendlies or season, it takes forever, can't connect to server, rubbish, absolutely rubbish......make an effort to fix this...

just 2 things EA.

1:) Where have the online leagues gone?
2:) Where have the ranked lobbies gone?

i feel that fifa 13 is ruined and fifa 12 was better!

i have been robbed by the fact that the server is severely shocking, three games now i have been disconnected, now i earn less coins and have lost 6 points as 2 of the three games i won. i would like to officially complain!

Ivory coast made the grade but AFCON Champions Zambia didn't WTF fifa. PES respected the efforts of the team and put them in their game

I would really like it if the EAS FC-section would work flawless. Most of the times when I'm playing FIFA 13, it has unlimited connection problems. However, sometimes is actually does work.

İ find the game really nice but i must say u must buy a license from Fenerbahce İstanbul SK they got krasic, Kuyt,Meireles ,Stoch and more other players that play in good teams its a really must when u buy from galatasaray istanbul a license to buy from fenerbahce a license tol because u will win a fans of fenerbahce to your game the most of them play pes2013 because there is fenerbahce buy when u got the team in rest of world all fenerbahce fans will come to fifa13 because the gameplay of fifa is much better as from pes

It's such good effort in the game especally with the skill games and confirming scores on career mode all I have to say is that when they update the score it needs to be more details
This is how is "Red Card for Weat Brom 1-0"
Ir should be "Red Card for West Brom Romeu Lukuku the man send off 1-0"

I always play with FC Barcelona online.. And in fifa 13 the only opponent I play against in online seasons is real madrid!:s.. In like 40 matches literally every time real madrid was my opponent :s.. Thats realy realy boring and totaly not fun. This must me something what is wrong in fifa 13.. It is not a coincedance that every 40 matches real was my opponent.

change this please!!

Great game, but when i want to play fifa interactive world cup my playstation stops with everything...how can i fix this?and in the online seasons i have much lag can somebody help me cuz i want to play fiwc and not forfeit al my online games cuz i have a bad connection! (There's nothing wrong with my internet!) Love he carreer mode by he way.

I come from fifa 11, so it's a huge improvement.
I have cursed so hard at the new tactical defending, but now i'm finally getting the hang of it, and I must admit it just feels more natural, so good job on that. I have a few minor remarks, like refs being a bit too lenient now, but also some things that really need improving:

- automatic player selection is a bit buggy. Today the ball rolled up slowly onto the feet of my player and it wouldn't select that particular player, so the opponent ran from 10 feet away and took the ball before I was able to. Not an isolated incident. Also when defending it sometimes keep switching between players that are behind the ball, so the guy can just run straight to the goal without me being able to defend properly.
- stuck in loading arena! Fix it so we don't have to exit the whole game. Other than that i've had opponents quit at 3-0. It then takes a minute or so to 'determine match result' which finally lead to the whole match not showing on any of my records. Also, when an opponent quits pré-match, why does it take that long to determine match results?
- Something I absolutely HATE since ever is that we're unable to use quick tactics whenever during the match. Not on set pieces, not when centering until the scoreboard disappears, etc. So the game forces us to do it in the midst of play, which often results in goals or at least sloppy and risky play.

Please fix this asap, I get that it must be really difficult to sort out some of the game's engine bugs, but if you'd tweak some of the illogical stuff like getting stuck in the arena, or the quick tactic issue, it would already make a world of difference.

Hi there,
I've had the game a week. I was converted back to FIFA after many years 'on the dark side' with PES. Your 2010 version brought me back and I've stuck with you since. That, however, is seriously about to change unless you sort the onlinegaming performance out.

i live in Dubai and have never had too many issues with your servers. the problem is the freezing in the arena before any 'season' or 'FIWC' game. It is ridiclous. Having to restart the console just to get out of there. i've managed to play 1 online FIWC game in 20+ attempts at trying this week.

You are better than this, please sort this out soon. I only buy the game for the online gaming - the competitiveness of it. after 15 years of gaming, playing CPU is boring. you can master it easily enough very quickly. playing a human is much more fun - without that, you've got no game...

Jamie

Its bloody crap tbh ultimate team loads people cant buy any players as it doesnt let you put a bid in servers are really crap amd has forced me to say im now going to pes 13:-(

Voting is lying and Chile has more votes in the coming 2013 FIFA Mexican league is a joke to voters who bought the game legally and original

Hi, I am a seasoned FIFA player and for me its very hard to sit back and not try to communicate to you when some things in the game are so painfully awkward. Not only have the EA servers got a fairly shaky reputation, for good reason, but since online started, and even now; after so many attempts (and other games doing so well [COD] in regards to online fluidity) lag and slow connections have been prevalent in almost 90% of games.This I can deal with, you can keep promising us improvements etc etc and say that the servers are fine. However, for the past few days i've attampted to play games with my brother who lives around 100 miles away (this should be no inconvenience whatsoever), we both have fibreoptic 30 or 50 meg (whatever is the highest available) broadband, and yet everytime we try and start an 'Online Friendly' (which for some sick reason have been shortened into vile 5 game seasons for a purpose I struggle to perceive) we are lucky to make it past the 5' sign before the game has crashed an 'Connection has been lost to your opponent'. I find this un-acceptable, seeing as we both paid the frankly unjustifiable £39.99 for your game, and everytime we try and play online, it is cut short before even 3 badly motion-capped passes can be played. I sincerely hope this can be fixed asap otherwise I really do not see any point in purchasing further iterations and may aswell just give up on FIFA, EA, you killed skate. sort your game out.

Just some suggestion fir the next year to make this game perfect where now it lacks.
1. Just let controller number 1 be active in menus, also when playing In multiplayer offline. It's a mess when everybody press buttons!
2. Changing tactics before the match it's been unconfomfortable all over the years. Nect year focus on making this more user-friendly please.
3. During the celebrations please change angulations of the camera also eithout pressing any buttons! It would be very spectacular!
4. Please add the possibility to change hair and beard of real players.
5. Add more animations during the cut scenes to make matches more immersive!

Now that you have an "online" pro you have heaps of people stat farming online instead of offline. Ruined it, I now watch any passing back and forth or douches trying to beat every player ... No actual playing!!!

Hey
I think this is the best fifa game ever made. I like the new features in carrer mode and the improved gameplay. Of course there's still a lot to improve. I got three here:
- Carrer mode got to have training sessions
- It would be nice to have a youth club in the carrer mode for every team
- The virtual pro has start with a lower raiting. it's not fair that if you make a pro defender, the start raiting is about 70. According to age, make the start raiting about 45-55. Also the way you improve your pro isn't that good i think. I think the skills of the virtual pro should be improved according to how well the pro is playing(form rate) not for the things like "score a goal from 50 yards".

Hope at least someone will agree.
