Same. It helps.

Yep. I currently have both games on release day shipping from Amazon but if FIFA doesn't sell me over the weekend then I'm canceling the preorder Sunday night.

I agree. I believe it will be the same as well but I will grab the early release and see what it is like but I don't expect it to be much different.

All that being said, I keep playing the FIFA 13 demo over NHL 13. Having ST, I'll be playing FIFA 13 heavily over the next weekend to get a good feel. I didn't play Madden or NHL demos like this.

How will you do that? Even if you have Season Ticket, you'll have to pay for the full version of FIFA in order to download it, right?

# 266 Gnemi @ 09/17/12 07:19 PM

Oh, I think I understand how it works:

From here:

Quote:


	Download your favorite EA SPORTS titles 3 days early and get into the action while your friends are still dreaming of throwing 40-yard bombs or ripping the back of the net. Carry forward your progress and achievements when you buy on launch day to stay ahead of the game.

So, effectively speaking, it's like a 3-day rental for $25. If you hate the game, you're done. If you like it, you can pay $60 for the rest of it.

That is correct.

Yep, late Monday night the game just expires and you have to get a disc version. Nice thing is though all the saves transfer over to the disc version. It's probably not worth it but I really like the idea of getting the games before the weekend. You also get discount on DLC but I've never bought anything since I won't spend money on Ultimate Team.

I really wasn't paying too much attention to my defenders. I was more focused on how the cpu AI defenders play in the box. Though I did have some nice goal mouth scrambles, like the kind you see in PES.

As for the teams playing differently, didn't really notice it except for Borussia seemed to pressure me more frequently and not just in or near the box.

I'm gonna record 2 games. One with marking at 0 and one with marking at 100 so I can really look for any differences

Good news is, us UK people get to play the season ticket for 6 days before release!

If you share those with us, don't tell us which game is which.

I'll upload it tonight after work. Just gonna edit it down a bit for time and size consideration

# 273 ezio @ 09/18/12 11:13 AM

I turned marking down to 0 for me and the CPU and at first it looked like they kept their shape better and defended better in the box. Then I played as Milan vs. Juve and I won 6-0 on Pro

The thing I noticed is that with it at 0 while they give you less space in the box there it a lot more space avaialable until you get to about the 18 because they don't close you down as much. I had one play in the game where Robinho picked up the ball in his own half and raced to the 18 before playing a through ball which I scored on. Nobody really tried to close him down before he got near the 18 so that is a concern for me.

# 274 Altimus @ 09/18/12 11:38 AM

I think the problem is you're playing on Pro. The lower difficulty the more space there is between the dribbler and defenders and the easier it is to break through.

I thought about that

I will try it on World Class and see how it goes.

If you like WC, bump it up to Legendary. There's isn't a big difference and to me and some of OSers Legendary played less cheap than WC.

# 277 Gnemi @ 09/18/12 01:33 PM

Legendary all the way. There is almost no point in considering anything else IMO, although I guess an argument can be made for WC.

This may be a weird/small critique, but I really do not like the bright/cartoony colors. It does not go well with the overall slightly-better-than-PS2 level graphics of the game. FIFA 12 had it perfect. FIFA 13 pretty much shoves the bad player body/faces in your face with these bright colors.

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

Same here I have never been a fan of FIFA's graphics honestly. I know a lot of people praise it but the player models have always been a little goofy to me, with their large hands and feet while almost everyone having the same build. Also those names and numbers on the back of the look overly huge. All of those things pull me out of the lovely animations FIFA have. But not to leave on a bad note, I will say the textures and pitch always look top notch.

# 280 rckabillyRaider @ 09/19/12 12:21 AM

Here's the video showing the marking at either 0 or 100. It was set on legendary, slow speed, all sliders default except for the marking. One game was at 0 and one game was at 100. Oh and it's cpu vs cpu. I didn't label which one was 0 or 100, as per Qb's request. Game #2 starts at 3:38

It's an unlisted video that I just made for us here. I'll probably delete it from my channel in a few days.
