Wow, never played on pc before the demo for this year but man are the graphics so much better on PC. Looks awesome, wish I would have preordered when it was only $30. Are there any worthwhile mods for the PC version usually? Still can't decide between PC or xbox.

First year I've had a powerful enough PC to take my FIFA gaming away from the current generation of consoles, and I've fairly mixed feelings. Leaning towards the positive, but still a few concerns.
On the plus side, it looks gorgeous. Smooth as silk too. It plays a solid, fluid game of football, with the obvious high levels of talented player for the demo teams obvious. I'm intrigued how it might feel to play as a poorer side, particularly with the new first touch system. I do hope EA have spent some development time with that thought in mind.
On the minus side, it feels ridiculously fast. I'm well aware that you can tweak such things, and perhaps to short half length is encouraging me to play a much swifter form of attacking than in FIFA 12, but it's a bit of a concern. Even the short demo time would see a good half dozen decent scoring chances for me and the AI.
Oh, and also this goal put me 2 goals to the good against AC Milan. Oh dear. I hope this isn't going to happen too often.
Ultimately sticking with my PC pre-order. I know I'll succumb to picking it up eventually, so I'd better get on board good and early. So lets get a PC based league set up

Feels like a nice upgrade from 12.
Random shit happening and loose balls is what has always been missing so its a great addition.
Skill games are fun and awesome to play around with during load times (even though load times are nothing on pc).
The only problem i have is no Santi Cazorla at Arsenal yet, and gervinho defaults as CAM. I mean come on...

Anyone seen any fixes for this PC crash bug a few people have had?

Does the full version for PC on origin let you choose the language when you boot it up normally or is it just the demo?
yeah is much more fluid.. i see manual thru balls are still hit or miss in terms of applying power..
the pitch seems bigger, but that just may be me.
and it looks like the season form is now included by default and shows you the changes, so that's kinda cool I guess. Easier to follow the changes for sure.
The real test will come online..

Jesus fuck, does EA even have a QA department? WTF do they do all day.
Come on. It's very bad anyway you slice it. Luckily it doesn't look like it would be hard to fix.

Ya but even human players, now ill be afraid to pass back to my goalie cause of this BS.
Of course its bad, just saying that having those things happen randomly in PvP matches would be completely game breaking, and I havent seen that happen to the player luckily so far.
Hm? Did it happen to human players? So far people only reported that bug/mistake with the AI goalie, or not?

What is this shit?! I come home after watching Expendables 2(awesome movie btw) and suddenly custom control configuration is botched up! When I switch CPU Contain with Tackling the game switches the corrosponding buttons in the offensive mode too. Restarting the game didn't help. Absolutely infurating crap!

I don't get the people wanting randomness. I understand that it adds to the reality or w/e of the game, but if the 1-touch randomness causes me to lose a game...there will be blood.
Is t me or is it just ... bad? Why put out a demo like this. It is obviously an outdated build, even compared to what was shown at gamescom. The ball is literally sliding on the grass, isn't it a big bigger also? 1st touch control is ridiculously untweaked and overpowered. Also there is 90% chance your shot will hit the post or the crossbar. The game looks perfectly fine in training mode... then why? fuck you EA!

Can anyone comment of how active the pc online community is for FIFA ?
In my experience it was pretty dead.

Played it a ton last year with some other gaffers and was surprised at how many people play on pc. Probably depends on what mode you play but 11v11 was always packed even into early morning. of course no where near console levels im sure but didnt take long at all to get into a game at any hour.
Did they not say it was the gamescom build.
Demo seems fine to me, and as usual the game will fix most of the demo problems. They already said stuff has changed/been tweaked since this.

I kinda agree. 1st touch was awful, like I lost count of how many build-ups were ruined because of a simple, slow pass touched out like a retard. Also had about 4 shots hit the cross bar in 2 games.
e: on the plus side, offensive AI seems vastly improved. Teammates were actually making competent runs.
I will add that they have a tendency to do stupid things maybe just for fun. The before last fifa patch added a lot of scripted motions that would completely ruin the game. I feel they are back with new ones. The fact the defenders always put the ball away when there's no obvious danger, the fact that every sliding tackle is a scripted motion (that works about 10% of the time) and that you can't even make a normal tackle anymore. It's harder to foul in this game than any other football game.
Also, they didn't lie about the fact that you "wouldnt be able to dribble with the left stick only". This purely sucks. Now I have to be a circus juggler with the right stick while moving to pass a guy one on one? Pff...

I hate ever having to use the right stick for anything. It NEVER feels natural, it just ends up being the way arseholes online win every game because I'm too stupid to get the ball off them.

From someone who liked Fifa 12 a lot, my first impressions after playing the PS3 demo for a little while:
- way too fast... Seems unrealistic, and although I you can tweak this settting, I'm hopping they slow it down a bit so Online has a better default pace too
- first-touch, A.I. Improvements, animations, etc... First impression is that, yes they kinda work and make it a better game... But in overall it feels more like Fifa 12.5... For me, every year I'm looking for gameplay, visual, and online improvements... and so far it doesn't really feel like it has progressed much... We'll see once it releases

I played a few matches on the demo tonight (360 version). I thought it played pretty well, though I'm very rusty after not playing much FIFA12 last year. The first touch didn't bother me too much since I kept the ball on the ground mostly, but it did come into play on some of the higher balls.

Ok, best hidden feature for me? Motherfucking HEATMAP during the after match player scores/stats. Oh, and also the pass completion stats on that page.

From pg.7, thanks for the feedback.
Yup, I switched his position for the Ox lickety split. Also, what's with Chezzer only rated at 79? I imagine it's due to the fact he's injured right now.

Are there any differences between the PC and Xbox/PS3 versions of FIFA 13? I 've bought all of my FIFA games on Xbox but I was thinking of switching to PC this year, and I want to make sure nothing would be missing compared to the console versions.
I agree the speed is off, way off. I might jump back to PES this yeari don't know. I mainly play online and i know PES has been shit for years in this area. Problem with fifa for me has always been tha lack of variety in the goals, the ball always seems to go into 5 or 6 different spots of the goal and that's it. PES has always been superior and more realistic in this regard.
