FIFA 13 is the 20th game in Electronic Arts' football simulation series. It was developed by EA Canada studios and was published by Electronic Arts, under the EA Sports label. This edition introduces new physics engine, ball control and tactical free kicks.
A lot of gameplay changes in FIFA 13 PC have been made thanks to "player impact engine”. Defenders can now push and pull attackers and use their strength and size in order to gain advantage in penalty area. Additionally, a lot of changes have been introduced concerning ball control, in particular – receiving passes.
In FIFA 13, many factors, such as weather and number of defenders, play role in this aspect of football. Of course, not only defensive aspects of the game have been improved. FIFA 13 introduced “tactical free kicks”, that provide tools to create dangerous and unpredictable situations during free kicks.
Dummy runs and more passing options will be enabled for players. What is more, “attacking intelligence” enables players to break down defense more easily.
The FIFA Manager 13 is more challenging than its predecessors and requires more management by perception and empathy from players despite the possibility of delegate work.
Despite the outrageous elimination of an online-mode while some features are only available online and some minor bugs, the game enthuses players through depth and new features. A strong editor and a tremendous long-term-motivation make Fifa Manager 13 a great example of its genre.
All the new ingredients like the team dynamics sound interesting, but are not integrated well, thus interrupting the flow. But take them away and you have hardly anything left but a slightly updated version of last years' iteration, which you can get for less than half price.
For such a monster of a game, some quibbles and problems are understandable. Still, it's about time EA started taking care of long known problems before integrating new (if really interesting and reasonable) features. If FIFA Manager is going to become a thoroughly recommendable product again, something really needs to happen.
What is interesting in the game already existed in the previous version. This year there are several new features, but they do not bring anything particularly different so to speak, just complete the game, make it more competent as football simulator.
FIFA Manager 13 is immensely complete and expansive. Almost all tasks related to a team can be undertaken, but you can also let your assistants do a lot of the work. Sloppy mistakes and somewhat unbelievable moments can drag you out of the experience unfortunately, which sometimes negates the feeling that you're an actual coach.
Comprehensive enough, but the laughable inconsistencies make FIFA Manager 13 impossible to take seriously as a sim. [Christmas 2012, p.102]
