well they canceled nba live 13. something must be up with their sports division.
EA is very funny sometimes,for example about the non inclusion of the ultimate team mode
on Wii U.
"Some of the more advanced [modes] that took many years to kind of come onto 360 and PS3, things like Ultimate Team, they aren’t on it at launch, but the biggest one in terms of popularity is.”

What? As far I know ultimate team mode is the biggest one.

They explain what the most popular mode is in the paragraph you cut, just before the one you quoted.

EA gonna EA.
Wait, FIFA13 on 3DS still lacks online? Quite shocking considering even the iOS version has online play.

it's the biggest one to hackers and scammers sure, but not the most played mode apparently.

Pretty crazy. That should be illegal.
Well, the iOS devices are more powerful than the 3DS. Why is it shocking?
Because the iOS version costs $7 and I'm sure it had a smaller budget. What does that have to do with power?

The NDS versions had online play.
How can EA justify the £30 price tag for 3DS version when it has less features then iOS.

EA's treatment of old gen games have hurt their image so much. Its my belief that they lost money for so many years (and had low Madden, Fifa, NHL, NBA sales) due to the fact that while they were developing great games on 360 from 2006 and onwards, they stopped developing seriously on PS2 (and never did on Wii) and ended up just shoveling roster updates on those systems. The average joe would probably see the ads from the 360 game and wanted that game, and would go out and buy the PS2 version and find out that they bought a piece of crap.

Vita comparisons!

FIFA 13!
And bonus Soundtrack list!
Disgraceful! What a waste of £25!
All the same modes and everything!

Errr the iOS version is like a port of the PSP version... with no ad-hoc.
They can be sued for this right?since every version is marketed as FIFA 13 they should all be the same or have different names,heck there are stil no reviews of the VITA version.
Well, EA didn't get sued for this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mJgWm6h7A0
And Ubisoft didn't get sued for this (rebranding their old PS2 game to have the same cover as a new game):
New box art cover for the greatest hit version of PoP Sands of Time one the PS2:
From Amazon:
Source: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00009ZVHY/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Original Cover:
So, either no one cares to sue, or apparently not.

I don't see anyone complaining that football matches on tv look the same. Why is this a problem in games?!

because this version doesn't include any thing from the main versions! No skill games or even a 2 year old defending system!

Well can't really sue if the box shows the same content as the last game. People pretty much know they're getting the same game if they actually look before the buy.
If it doesn't say on the box as a new feature, it won't be in the game.

Didn't EA get sued for Tiger Woods on PC which was just a rebranded Tiger Woods Online? Either that or they got enough complaints that they were forced to refund anyone who bought it.
Hopefully that happens here, if I'd bought FIFA 12 and then got FIFA 13 and discovered it was basically identical I'd be fuming.
Had a look at the box for FIFA 13 in Gamestation at dinner, surprisingly enough there's no menu screenshots, they're all of the match so it's not obvious that it's the same game.

Tiger Woods Online was a free to play game, and PC isn't a dead system like the Wii.
And you need to read the descriptions. Not rely on screenshots.

Are you seriously defending EA here? Of course people expect to get a new game when they buy a new game. Even if the description lists nothing new, you at least expect improvements over what you got before. The Wii game however? It has nothing. It's simply the older version with new stats. The amount of work done on it amounts to a few days.
What makes it worse imo is that it's a version that's going to be mostly played by kids who don't know any better. They are ripping of the most vulnerable part of their audience who get 2 or 3 games to play in a year... The ones who think that 60$ makes you a rich person.
At least the Vita version got a new start-screen and menus.
IGN: EA has been called the evil empire of the gaming industry. You've been called out before by your own former employees, gaming media for the state of your company's work environment and even gamers are aware of your shady business practices. What's EA's response to this ?
EA: That's silly, were not evil.
IGN: The most recent example is EA reselling FIFA 12 as FIFA 13 since it is basically the same exact game and charging full price for it.
EA: Okay. Maybe we're a little evil.

What will happen first? Honest business practises from EA or IGN actually asking hard hitting questions.

I'm defending anyone who makes packaged goods. I'm saying that the consumer has A LOT of responsibility when it comes to purchasing.
And if you want something new, then you shouldn't really disregard roster updates and kit updates. There's literally thousands of clubs that require tons of art work to be done.
And, no, it's not mostly played by kids. It's mostly played by no one because the Wii is dead. I am, however, very disappointed in 3DS and Vita being the same as the previous version.

Its OK, surely its only all the new vita owners that will buy this version, oh wait
Uh? No it's not? It's a different game.

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.

Isn't that the case for all fifas? I for one don't consider minor graphical changes as a new game..
Nope. The main version (360/PS3) receives significant gameplay updates each year.

since fifa players only care about transfers and kits, it totally makes sense.

Well, the 360/PS3 versions sell multiple millions per year.
The Wii and Vita versions will struggle to sell 100k combined.
Why dedicate time and resources to significantly update them?

er, because they are charging full price @ retail.
man...It would be nice if I deleted my digital download off Fifa Vita, and tried to redownload it again....but this time it actually linked to a Fifa 13 download..lol. Wish EA was lazy in that regard.
They're charging full price for a full game.
Falsely advertised though.
this is why I stopped buying fifa game now...same fuckin shit (faces that doesn't even match the player at all, shit grass graphics, crowd made out of cardboard, etc.) and just few tweaks repackaged as a 65 dollar game. not worth the buy
