FIFA Soccer 13

Product Description
FIFA 13 is the 2012 release in Electronic Arts' long-running professional soccer game franchise. Based on the current real-life players, teams and leagues associated with the FIFA organization (Federation International de Football), the game aims to present the most realistic international soccer experience available in a video game to-date.

Features include, gameplay mechanics improvements on both offense and defense, an extensive roster of players, teams and leagues, multiplayer play options both locally and online, and social network functionality through the EA Sports Football Club.

Key Game Features
Attacking Intelligence - Players have the ability to analyze space, work harder and smarter to break down the defense, and think two plays ahead. Plus, players make runs that pull defenders out of position and open passing channels for teammates.

Complete Dribbling - Face your opponent and use precise dribble touches combined with true 360-degree mobility with the ball. Be more creative and dangerous in 1v1 opportunities.

1st Touch Control - A new system transforms the way players control the ball, eliminating near-perfect touch for every player, and creating more opportunities for defenders to capitalize on errant balls and poor touches to win back possession.

EA Sports Football Club - Join the club and experience soccer's social network. Earn rewards, level up, enjoy live challenges, and connect with friends. Everything within FIFA 13, and against friends, is measured in a meaningful way. Fans can earn rewards to unlock items from the new Football Club Catalog, and build their status as they climb 100 levels. Real-world storylines drive Football Club through regular challenges so that FIFA 13 will look, feel and play like the real-world season. Support your club and compete against rivals in every area of the game, lifting your club higher in the league tables or helping them avoid relegation. Plus, the new EA Sports Football Club App for the iPhone enables fans to access to their EA Sports Football Club identity and friends, manage their FIFA Ultimate Team, search the live auctions and bid to win new players.

Multiplayer Support - Enjoy multiplayer action with friends and family both locally, and online.

Best one in the Series so far By C. Knops
I must say this is the best Fifa game in the Series, (got every game since 2006). The actual gameplay is alot more realistic than Fifa 12, for example you can't pass a ball to someone that is sorrounded by 3 enemys and score a goal anymore or if you pass too hard your mate is gonna have a hard time controlling the ball on first touch etc. Another big improvement are the Skillgames which actually do improve your gameplay in a regular fifa match and make you understand options like manual passing or shooting alot better. If youre into soccer this game is definetly a must have.

Excellent By A. Frantz
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.
