I just picked up Fifa 13 (for Xbox), the last one I owned being 10. I'm not one to complain about this, but the amount of online bullshit is insane. It seems like there's about 3 different online services you need to subscribe to to actually get all the features. Some modes need Origin accounts, there's a separate site to manage your ultimate team, and of course, the all enveloping EA online thingy. Plus the constant guiding of you towards the online store full of content that could have been included at literally no extra cost.
Hell, it wouldn't be as bad if one of the 3 services you are connected to didn't randomly drop out every half hour.
