First to the positive in general ... FIFA 13 gives players offline with its large number of game modes + very extensive training, skill and challenge system, a huge selection which is remarkable. There are also a lot of leagues, mostly not only the 1st league, but at least still the 2nd league right now. Of course, doing countless teams. The scope of the game fits so. The menus are well go clear and self-explanatory. The graphics are technically average not outstanding, but that'd expect none of a football match, it is not a first-person shooter.
Now I work my times by the men in (mostly) black on goalkeepers, defenders, etc.
The referee act most realistic and comprehensible. Although even the odd blunder here, which sometimes can frustrate you, but the referee can indeed in real soccer also) as opposed to real football is a FIFA referee, however, 13 each for offside if only 1cm assess properly.
Goalkeepers have to 13 reflexes of which real keeper only dream in FIFA, also felt them grow at least 4 additional limbs with which they prevent goals. To put it briefly: FIFA 13 has very (sometimes unrealistic) strong goalkeeper. But also in some, but very very few situations do sometimes, as they would be glued to the turf.
The defenders Timing is everything. Who has not timing it may actually about to give up, unless one is the striker just in the way;) because who once as a defender has let go round, does not bring the striker again. Defenders are usually realistic in FIFA in its 3-, 4- or 5 chain, anticipate opponent's passports but too rarely, so they only can easily play all in the counterattack. That often means that one is condemned to watch production and must watch as their own back line failed, without that you can do something about it big. Especially as the Außenverteiger there are the off-side pick up in 90% of cases because they are too far pushed inward and backward. Even defenders act in his own penalty often very rigid.
For midfield is to say that the OM player his role often very aggressively interpreted the attack and not behind the strikers, but mostly acts in addition to the peaks. The DM-player sees their own penalty area usually only from the center circle, he interprets his role usually much too aggressively, so that a securing or supporting the defense is usually not available through the DM player. The players on the wings, however usually do a good job.
The strikers are among the best that football has to offer. Forward anticipate very skillfully in almost all situations and have surpluses of at least 150km / h top. Forward master any shooting techniques and are generally footed, a "weak" foot one searches in vain. However, these skills are at the gatekeepers mentioned above also necessary because it is still hard enough.
Now the generally negative ... The game speed in FIFA 13 is to be very far from realistic. Often players with ball at his feet are still have faster or as fast as the player no ball at his feet, to the player comes into the ball processing and arrival and entrainment are often located on the lower 3.Liganiveau. The other negative aspects relate largely to the online mode. Technically unfortunately a disaster until a ranking game is even made you have previously certainly 2 - 3 games with ALT + F4 to cancel because you're stuck either in the training arena or in the loading screen and to the ranking game, the whole thing then start all over again. The same is the Pro-Club mode the case. Friendlies against work perfectly. Since I do not play the Ultimate Team mode, I can not comment on that.
In online games you will soon notice the FIFA 13 often not as free as it seems, many movements are scripted and can not change, so there are often situations where you can not prevent the loss of the ball or where you the pass / cross / shot / header also can not prevent. This often leads to a lot of frustration in online games, since it "is about something" yes.
A majority of these aspects falls a first in the online game and also only if you have already completed a few ranked matches in the top leagues and can the "Otto-Normal-player" not care, because can anyone FIFA 13 does not play online this all safely ignored because they do not fall into the weight offline. Who wants to be with his club champion or want to play with his buddies in the afternoon a few rounds, these things may not matter, because he probably did not even notice.
That's why I give FIFA 13 also at Fun 4 stars. Since FIFA 13 should have but of themselves claim to be a realistic football simulation ever and also convenes as such I can total only awarded 2Stars because it this realistic football simulation is not easy. I hope I could help you with this review. :)
