I think it is time for me to graduate to full 100% manual shooting. I still going to stick with tele broadcast camera though. I tried Pro Cam and omg that messed me up so bad.

This game is just flat out awesome. I've always been slightly drawn to the soccer games, but this is my first year really diving into virtual pro mode and I'm having a great time. I was put out on loan from my Mexican team to Coventry City and we are having a great season with me controlling the midfield. What sucks is that I will have to go back to my parent team next year, I would love to stick with Coventry.

Selected Ireland as my home country and just got called up. It's so much fun now being a Virtual Pro as you are constantly bombarded with games from different tourneys and your league, and you are constantly upgraded skills through your play. It's kind of like Skyrim, which is one of my favorite RPGs, in that you only upgrade the skills or areas you routinely use. One of my favorite sports game of all-time, will definitely share time with NBA 2k13 this fall.

Is anyone else out there having severe problems with the ability to connect to the EA online servers? I have attempted to play 8 games online, and I have only completed 4. The other 4 have been disconnected. I have been playing FIFA online for a long time, and I have never experienced the connections issues that I am currently experiencing with this game. I am just curious if my issues were isolated or if other people were experiencing the same.

anyone else noticing a delay in controller response on the xbox 360? Last year i played on PC and it seemed a lot crisper. This time around, there seems to be more delays when I pass, try to push the ball out in space, etc.

I really notice it in the power meter and taking PK's as well. I push the button when the meter is in the green, but it just drifts into the yellow (or even the red) causing an awful mis-hit.

No. Your 360 might be dying.

I noticed it on the ps3 playing the early release.

Demo for me was garbage and unconvincing.

The actual game is much, much better and probably the best FIFA edition in years. My main two gripes (aside from spotty online servers thus far) are the speed of play and the way that some guys don't react despite the ball being nearby, in essence, them not fighting for 50-50s nearby.

I love, love, love how things are not as scripted anymore and that goals seem to come from a variety of players now (though I do not think I have scored with either fullback yet in 50 games).

The speed of play thing is something I doubt we'll see change. A lot of non-soccer guys buy FIFA13 because they enjoy it. Why? Because it FIFA's pace while not realistic, is like basketball's fast paced and frantic action, which is what they seem to enjoy. Don't see EA shunning that big chunk of fans who buy the game who are not hardcore fans.

What I do see EA doing is further fine-tuning the rest of the game so that it is enjoyable for the hardcore footy/soccer fans, but we'll likely always have to deal with the speed always being this quick.

I'm surprised there is no "very slow" option.
