FIFA 13.

First topic message reminder :

Just over a month away until release and I have to say I'm starting to get excited. Personally I'll just be purchasing the standard edition however if you play alot of Be A Pro or UT the ultimate edition doesn't look to bad.

Anyone else looking forward to this release?

I've played the demo. I liked the new player form updates that they are doing. Diaby went from a 76 to an 80 rating after one good match lol.

White Hart Lane is added, with a stadium in India too

6pm tonight I'll be able to delve in to the full game using the EA Season Ticket. Costs £20, however if you also play Tiger Woods, Madden and NHL you get early access to those as well.

Comes in quite handy, definately helps to see if the full game is worth purchasing.

hampo, how was it then?

Brilliant, personally I think it feels alot smoother than last years. Started the BAP mode with Liverpool, played the preseason and was then told I'd be leaving on loan to get experience. The difference between Liverpool and Barnet is very visable instead of last years where every team played like Barcelona.

what about career mode, thats usually what i play

Seems really in depth, I'm off work Thursday so will give more info then as I can spend a few hours playing through it.

looking forward to it. Am gonna pick up my copy Friday AM and then play it throughout the day and weekend. Like the demo

im liking the sound of this game even more so than last years one

can't beleive they still selling it on PS2. Who'd buy it on that console??? I played fifa 10 on PS2 and then on PS3 and the difference in graphics was huge.

no idea just ordered mine from shopto.net had a £20 worth of points so got it for £19.85

just browsing the net now for prices £39 seems to be the going rate at the moment, anybody found it cheaper elsewhere?

What about the supermarkets, they tend to sell them at 37 pound or so.I know it's omly a couple of quid but a saving is a saving

Was gonna suggest the same thing. And usually they do a 'Spend XXX and get Fifa 13 for £24' or something similar.

Anybody know where it's going cheapest??

Game are doing an offer of trade in two selected games and get it for 99p. List of games is on their website, also Sainsburys are doing it for £35.

Black market

I'm paying £48 for the Ultimate Edition from Game, they have the normal version at £42. I have no choice though, seeing as I was bought a £50 gift card last month for my birthday for this game.

Despite previous comments saying I wont be nerdy enough, I will be going to the midnight opening tonight as I am too busy to go any other time tomorrow or Saturday! At least i'll be at home Friday night to play it though.

Sainsbury are advertising the normal version at 35 quid.

Has anybody else played it yet, let us know what it's like

I'm a PES guy, let me correct that, WAS a PES guy and now I'm firmly on the FIFA bandwagon. It's the best sports game I've played. I'm doing a player career mode with Leicester, currently on loan at Walsall.

I got it from Game but had £7.50 to spend on my rewards card so got it for £35.49

It plays so much smoother than the demo did. Started my career at Liverpool as a striker but have gone on loan to Northampton.

I love it! Currently just playing against my step brothers but tomorrow morning I have it all to myself to start my player career!

I started at Utd but have gone out on loan to Fleetwood for the year, which was a bit gutting after my one friendly for Utd saw me get a cracking goal and an assist.
Though trying to usurp Rooney, RVP, Hernandez and Welbeck may be beyond my skills as a raw 18 year old!

I started mine at United, cam. Played the full preseason grabbing a goal and two assists but still sent on loan to Portsmouth

Annoyingly the realistic atmospheres now mean I have to play every game listening to that annoying cowbell in the crowd

Started as manager of Crawley Town, and depending on how well I do i'll apparently get some International manager's job offers. Plus there's the ability to apply for any vacant jobs going mid-season, which is a nice touch.

Has everyone started as strikers? I'm a centre mid.

I always start as a GK.

Same here mate. Didn't see the point of being a striker with RVP, Rooney, Hernandez and Welback already there. I want to play with those players, not replace them

Not sure about Fifa 13, but I always found it next to impossible to get a good rating as any position other than striker and that was by scoring/assisting goals.

Started as Bristol City manager, 2 signings so far Sterling on loan and McCann from Burnley. Doing alright so far, won my pre season games and 2 wins from 2 in the league snatching a win at Brighton.

Tempted to start a BAP with City though tempted to see if i get sent out on loan or kept there. will probably start at CM or CAM.

Simply put, this is the best FIFA game I've ever played.

This is exactly how I feel right now

turns out it only took 1 game for the manager to work out i needed to go on loan

been sent to Pompey for the season

I started a Be a Pro game with Crawley, the club accepted offers from Leicester, Burnley, Middlesbrough, Hoffenheim and Atalanta before the August 31st deadline, but I stayed loyal (ie waiting for a Premier League side)

Started as Birmingham City as a manager, started with not much money, sold Zigic and Elliott because I cannot stand them , I only kept King because I had no others forwards, I also got Sterling on loan

I really like the way the normal game set up changes week by week to match what is happening in rela life.

If anyone wishes to add me on Xbox my ID is hero606v2

I'm out all day, but I be Moldy92 on XBL

I'm on xbox too. MockingJay33

The Crawley Town board have set me a target of the last 16 of the FA Cup. 3rd round, Man City away

Mate got Sterling on loan for Fleetwood

anyone else frustrated with what they've done to ultimate team this year? My team is 2 stars and when i search for an opponent online EA have removed the ability to look at your opponents stats and ratings before deciding if your playing a team full of gold players. I always have to play against 4-5 star teams with my 2 star team.

I'm rather narked off at present with a red card glitch, Higuain has been out now for 8 games due to receiving a red card and it just states constantly he has 1 game left.
Doesn't even allow me to trade him, I can quick sell him for 55 coins and that's it.

He still needs to be a part of the 23 man squad for the ban to take place. Have you tried that?

As in, Starting 11, 7 subs, 5 squad players. He'd be in the squad players.

I'll give it a go tonight cheers.

Yeah but my 10 silver-1 gold championship team wins anyway

Raul Meireles is still at Chelsea in this game for some strange reason, I appear to be the only person in the world to have noticed this though....

It'll be because he moved after the English transfer window shut and therefore missed the squad updates that ea do
