FIFA 13 takes FIFA 12 to the next level.It improves on a formerly weak tutorial by giving solid drills to work on, regardless of your skill level.It has a lot more going on as far as day-to-day real world action results applying to the game.The movement and timing is improved. There is less of the easy mode style of play from from former games, and a much richer defense and offense.The player collision is improved.It's too early for me to review things like the Ultimate Team, so I'll leave that for future reviewers.Overall, it's a higher level of skill requirement to master the game, gives more opportunity for randomness (in a positive way), and requires more attention to play style rather than just assuming a highly skilled player will automatically be able to use "mortal kombat" style skill combos to beat an opponent. Now there's more actual player skill involved, and more of a requirement to practice your play style instead of relying on one high skill player to just become an "I-win" button.Highly recommended, for those that use controllers on the PC. I have not tried it with mouse/keyboard, so I cannot comment on how well that works.A+ so far.Graphics are still medium quality, which means it runs well on most PC's, but with AA cranked it looks pretty decent.

I'm about half-way through a season with Chelsea FC and this is a big improvement over previous titles. It's fair to say that graphically there's been a few tweaks, but mostly you'll notice the physics and player behavior is much improved. Players seem to be more intuitive in terms of getting into favorable position for breaks, runs, and crossing opportunities, which allows for a more realistic football experience where it was often frustrating on attack previously. There seems to be less issues with players getting in the way of shots on that basis too or not moving where they would in real life if gaps appear.While the attack is definitely far superior, the defensive tactics also seem to be better. This seems to be down to the ability of players attacking the ball when it's near them, instead of the wooden and static tackling opportunities they'd offer in the past. Players are more likely to stick a foot out in the mid-field or get their bodies in the way, so there's more deflection and variability in game play as the opposition moves the ball about, which is neat. Players are also more intuitive on defense than previously and predict things more accurately - 2012 was almost impossible at times to keep opposition players from blasting through the defense and scoring, leaving you swearing at the screen.They've added in a few other nuances in terms of pitch activity: you can see the manager on the sideline and touch judges holding up boards for subbing in and out players, which is a nice way of increasing the ambience and realism. The commentators now refer to a sideline commentator when discussing injuries too, which makes the whole match more immersive. It's cool that these subtle changes really make a difference.The game is still a console effort for the most part and graphically it's obvious it won't take advantage of the power of a modern PC with dual graphics and superior processing power. Nevertheless, I think it's worth buying...especially at the el cheapo price it was for download a couple of weeks ago at 25 bucks! Nice one Amazon.Overall, a big improvement and definitely more enjoyable to play than the last effort.

Game is fine but really needs more work. PC version games for FIFA are always not good enough. Laggiest online play I have ever seen.
