FIFA 13 Dissapointment

No spamming, just some of my opinions on this year edition, and comparison to 12, etc...

Wtf did they do to the gameplay, too fast, too arcadey... No pleasure at all..screw the sliders, in 12 everything was ok on default.. First touch, lol, more like last touch... To be continued.... )

I think first touch is pretty good, it gives you a dose of reality and unprediction. Defense is broken totally though.

+1
It is too fast and AI build up is zero. With sliders you can relatively fix marking, speed and player positioning, but that's not it.

Really don't understand what people were expecting, that's the way this series has played for years now.

The only real fix that works for the uber-speed/agility issue is to lower players' speed, accel and agility ratings. I've been doing that with FIFA 12. Whole new game. Most of my players are now rated 30-50 speed and 10-25 agility. Only select players are rated higher. The one other thing that can help slow down the gameplay is editing CPU teams' and players' attack and defend tactics. Set attack tendencies to low and defend tendencies to high. You'll see a huge drop in the buildup speed. This was all much easier to do with CM 12 which is why that tool is absolutely critical. Hope someone gets it working.

But what about ball speed?

Sorry, I typed a whole something else, thought you were talking about something else, lol.

Ball speed IMO is just fine in the game. There are sliders to lower shot and pass speed if it's an issue for you.

i think you should check out my squads file it slows the game down a bit

Air balls are flying like rockets. Adjusting ground pass messes up balance between air and ground speed. The ball is too light, which is unlike everything else is hard to adjust.

where is it? thanks

exactly messing with squad files, sliders, bla bla makes this game ****e,
because i didn't know half the things you could change in 12 and it still rocked..

the ball is too fast, air balls are crap, and i don't even wanna start about the cameras

Major complaints:

1. Game speed, pace (particulary ball speed)
2. Cameras
3. Over the top handball (like 5-6 times a game)
4. AI Defense, air balls...
5. Dribbling is useless in this type of pace, manual is useless...

I see, you just want to moan, rather than put some effort into trying to fix things. Typical lazy 4-post forum complainer.

well, you're right, i said in my first post that this is me, moaning... "trying to fix things"...i don't think that a new custom kit/boot/idk will resolve this problems
eh...

...i think the best fix is to go back to 12...

You have a point, but firstly this is a "forum", that among other things is here for us to complain, talk, moan, explore and stuff...

well, i stopped playing it, that's where the disappointement kicks in

... I'm just thinking out loud, feel free to join in, debate, etc...
I like to know what others think, cause I got a feeling I'm not the only one complaining

hello guys,
you are talking about the custom settings on that sliders. Could anyone to post their settings, because you said that if you adjust those bars correctly the game become much better.

Thanks in advance lads

game speed is so fast

i give up with full game after many hours tweaking to try and find right balance. demo was much better for me, final version is too smooth and floaty and fast, even slowing down doesn't help because the problem is animations and ice skating movement etc. really annoyed because career mode etc. looks amazing but the gameplay is so bad compared to demo

You really need to do spend some time tweaking the game, this series has always been an uber-fast arcade-fest out of the box.

Editing CPU teams' and players' workrates is an absolute must. Set teams/players to play more defense and less offense. Set Positioning sliders to 20; that will keep teams' formations tight and more defensive (and more realistic).

And here's something you can test, just to see how much better this series plays with some serious player rating editing. Start up DBM 12, then open the Players table in Excel. Copy the entire Internationalrep table/column, then paste those values in the Sprintspeed, Acceleration and Agility tables/columns. Now all players in the game will be rated between 1-5 in all three of those catagories. I am telling you, the FIFA series plays 500% better and much more realistic when players' movement ratings are lowered like that.

well, i certainly hope that it can be tweaked somehow to be playable, but not so sure in the outcome because i'm not feeling the ball movement, it's not that the players are fast it's just overall ball movement and pace, idk i know I'm full of it... hehe
