Do you still play or annoy you already?

As many previous speakers have pointed out, makes this momentum (but not only this!) The game completely broken! Of course, the momentum exists in just about any sport, but not nearly as impressed as out at FIFA. In FIFA 13 can not in my view be of a Momentum talk, but rather of a software-based / scripted solution is to give the bloody beginners the chance of defeating much stronger opponents despite a lack of skills.

I play FIFA since FIFA 09 and had hoped that FIFA 13 finally becomes more demanding when it comes to certain things (which I will describe the same in detail). As I looked but deceived because pretty much every weakness that already had FIFA 12 is also to be found in the version of FIFA 13 and the rather more pronounced than last year.

First of all the referees are the number one disaster. Many opponents are excessive on straddling and kick like crazy. These fouls are far too seldom punished, let alone punished appropriately. Of course there are referees with the most stringent, but felt 90% of the "officials" let just about any opponent (without hitting the ball!) Go through. Completely harmless body contacts Conversely then blown and partially punished with yellow, so any proportionality in relation to the punishment of fouls missing. Totally ridiculous is the partial interpretation of the advantage rule. When Double Pass Pass giving players will often brutal umgegrätscht (necessarily a yellow card), it runs the advantage which unfortunately rarely represents a real advantage. If the nonexistent advantage blown, the foul players will often admonished and not even see a map.
Thus in connection standing I would like to emphasize also the unrealistic duels. Most opponents go like crazy with the turbo in the duels regardless of losses - and thus making them mostly as the winner of the duels out! In most games I am when it comes to duels hopelessly inferior (in yesterday's match I had won 9 duels, my opponent 38!). For this play many opponents online 90 minutes at high pressure, which in reality feasible for any team in the world is about 90 minutes (keyword endurance / strength). The condition of the player is unfortunately only marginally affected, so that they take even in the 90th minute sprints mistaken about half the space to reveal without fatigue. Here you will often attacked by 2-3 players simultaneously, the zustürmen with Turbo on a. Here generally applies: The best race of the first to the last minute like a madman with the Turbo and attack (enormously promising when one defends and wants to conquer the ball)! After halftime you back 80% percent of its energy, and the full-court press even when played. And even if you take has a strain towards the end of 90 minutes or in extra time, just keep running and then the player runs back as the game starts. Also you have to tactically little note: A lot of players running with 6-7 man in the opposition half, but with all the players back fast enough in his own half to defend - Realism pure!
It should be noted that the opponent in FIFA 13 too much is a powerful tool far from any reality. Another example? With Pleasure! The defender is easily converted cancel the zoom-running players, the striker won the ball and can go alone on the opponent's goal and achieve the results. Or the defender takes the ball is repeated unfair from behind harassed (the attacker's arms pull the defenders), you lose the ball because of fouls, which is not punishable.
Another interesting "feature" only in passing: Goalies can get in FIFA 13 not sent off! Every now and then gets the goalie times the yellow card (if indeed times exceptionally penalty against him caught, which is much too rarely the case, so rabidly as many goalkeepers the opposing strikers from the legs pick), but in case of repeated tackle or if the goalie is the last man, he gets not one yellow-red or red card. Incidentally, the goalkeeper may ward off outside the box balls by hand, without being punished at all! You have to with all these deficits seriously ask the question whether was not versehnentlich implemented here the duel engine of "Madden" into play ... I will remain no other conclusion than that programmed for FIFA 14 much from scratch an entirely new duel Engine would.
Many players have long since figured out how the wind blows and how currently (as of July 2013) make online games, is difficult to describe in words. It is excessively gegrätscht, kicked and fouled so that you get to see a perverted (caricature) image of football. Terrible.

The gameplay is a very bad joke, because skill counts as good as nothing. I am now level 57 and claim that I already can play a very reasonable ball (anyway, I accept that there are players who are better than me!). There are games, since I take my (admittedly weak) opponent very clearly with 4 to 8 goals difference over the table - for me a clear indication that I have a much better skill. Will then the opponents a rematch, it runs mostly as follows: I go fast with 2: 0 or 3: 0 lead and dominate the enemy at will. But then this great momentum comes into play and I suddenly succeed nothing! Not one, no matter how simple pass comes more to the man, the opponent wins every battle and I come once the opposition's box, the goalkeeper holds all or the shots go only to the aluminum! Added to this are verspringende balls jumping into these phases ever the enemy's feet! Particularly striking in the gatekeepers: foiled balls jump with a very high probability the enemy's feet, which can then loose insert.
The "schizophrenia" of the goalkeeper's been a very special point: a huge number of balls can be the goalkeeper to parry Kreisklasse level (rather than fight them off to the side) and always in front of the opposing attacker, which can get a high percentage. On the other hand then the invincible by the momentum goalkeeper who really keeps everything, and there are still so placed and solid shots! Here, unfortunately, is completely lacking any healthy (and realistic) balance.

In return, the opposing player the job done right and the following (my personal) main criticism contributes to this negative gaming experience: Achieving goals by edges or corner kicks is all too easy and is inflationary used by most parties! I only play online and guess that 80% of my opponents to achieve their goals in this way (want). It can still offer many open spaces in the center, and yet most opponents play almost reflexively, not to say morbidly over the sides to get from there an edge and then with high-percentage chance to behead one move either or (in rare cases) volley to take. It should be emphasized that I the opponents very closely (with a header strong player) ceiling in the penalty area, the line of sight is directed toward the ball and I still have no chance of winning the aerial challenge! Sometimes it is even so ridiculous that beat me in the head duel players who are at least a head shorter (Giovinco from Juventus)!
It has nothing whatsoever to do for me with skill if one with X (or square on the PS3) sends a cross and then the players in the penalty area B (or circle) pressed to deal with this unassuming 2-key combination doors to shoot without end. Partially run players nearing edge only of the penalty area and the edge going to get absolutely precisely served on the forehead!

The added time in FIFA 13 is also totally unrealistic because they like gum runs. Solang one is near the gate, the game seems to be not blown. Had opponents who were clearly back in stoppage time against me and then listlessly back the ball in his own penalty area and have shuffled (without I again sought the duel). The stoppage time was here actually 3 (in words: three) real minutes (at a total running time of 6 minutes per half)!

Yet another note: Apparently there is such a phenomenon as "day form" (whether now in conjunction with the Momentum I can not judge). There are games in which my players from the start as the race world champion and the complete game speed is higher than in other games, where my opponent then formally overruns me from the beginning.

The player reviews are at least worthy of discussion (and be it of course always remain), but a little more objectivity would not hurt here. I will not praise our Bundesliga to the skies, but as our league players of top clubs get away just by international standards, is simply too weak. I do not know exactly who is responsible for the evaluation of the player in EA (probably more of these self-proclaimed "experts"), but just in the top leagues England and Spain, there is a starting line of kickers that are too strong compared easily. The speed attributes of players (especially the player of Manchester City) are exaggerated. Many of my opponents take Manchester City to come up with Tevez and / or Agüero pretty much every keeper loose too crowded (with ball). I assume that other "experts" define the players strengths for each country (excluding international dimension). To ensure international comparability of the players strengths, would here be clearly room for improvement!

As mentioned before, I play FIFA since FIFA 09 and think after this year's disappointment, despite the lack of licenses to buy the new PES.

EA has fallen from me the reproach let that FIFA is neither realistic, nor take into account the individual skill accordingly - here was this legendary Momentum one instance created, the Noobs should give the chance to defeat completely superior player and so not like losing the game (which in turn leads to better sales of the game). So basically a video game, determined in each game of chance, who is the winner.

My conclusion at the end: Do not buy FIFA 13! With the money you can do much more meaningful things. Either you buy PES, a merchandise of his favorite team or looks better times in the stadium a BL game live on. In all cases it has with its investment more fun than with FIFA.
