Sice then, i was thinking that Attacking AI doesnt really exist, they simply dumbed down the defensive AI, and increased the frequency of the forward runs. Yes, you all can see, when playing the demo, that strikers often run to the box, not to space. The runs are just more frequent, not smarter.

I disagree on the Silva goal. Watch it again and it's more of a give and go. Silva runs around the defender, receives the pass and then switches the ball to his left. The defender overruns and he's got a clear shot in on goal. I don't remember seeing a lot of runs in FIFA 12 where they would run around the outside of defenders. To me, it was always straight lines towards the box and towards the goal.

I have only played one game so far and I am happy with it. I was AC Milan against Arsenal. It was hard fought with I winning in penalties. A really nice game, though player ratings seemed a little harsh.

This, and the out of whack offense/defense balance, is the only thing they've taken a backstep on.

Fifa 13's graphics are a huge improvement from fifa 12. I love the dynamic lighting and the increased contrast look of the players. Fifa 12 was a drab and ugly experience.

^ I certainly do not think FIFA 12 was ugly by any means, but to say FIFA 13 doesn't look better than 12 is simply false. If you compare both with AA on max (on PC) you'll clearly see the drastic improvements made in 13. I'll post pics later.

Well today's the day... still excited even with the shortcomings of the demo. Hopefully the retail plays a better game.

I'm beyond stoked...even for the mere *chance* that Career Mode is better than last year's.

I stayed away from the demo because I wanted to be surprised. My retail copy is at my local Post Office so of course I'm getting sick as I type. Gonna be a short work day

How'd you get retail so soon?!

Yeah, it's gonna be tough, because this is going to be released 2 hours before quitting time for me.

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna feel ill at around 2:45pm!
