    Where is the best site to pre-order? Amazon is 60e without delivery, play.com 67 free delivery. How much for delivery on amazon anyone know. BTW its Ultimate edition I want.


    I posted a few pages back about Gamesnash's deal on boards - they are an Irish retailer. I wouldnt bet on you getting the game on time of either Amazon or Play if you want it on the day of release to be honest where as with Gamesnash its pretty much guaranteed and they are Irish, if you are going to order online may as well order locally.

    Like above, Gamesnash are selling the ultimate edition for 64.99 with free delivery in Ireland and almost guaranteed to get it release day (I got a few releases on the Thursday even) Plus, you get a free voucher if you leave your boards user name when you buy it.

    How recent is that footage? Because if thats the engine then they changed almost nothing. Every pass, movement and shot looked straight from FIFA12 with the exception of the ref dropping the ball for the injury to be kicked back.

    Macken, you say this every year and fail to notice to the subtle things. You aren't going to notice alot untill you play it yourself. But just from the short video I noticed several things.

    Early on in the video, Arsenal tries the traditional pass cut-back goal that goes in 100% of the time while the keeper just stand there. What happened here? The keeper lept accross his line and kept it out. It's at about 3:20 in the video. That's a huge improvement right there macken. It will change clubs dramatically too.

    Many times players take big, realistic touches. I think at one point Walcott takes a massive one which I liked because it's true to life. :p

    The player movement seems tons better when you are in possession. They hardly ever wandered offside. I particularly liked that shuffle sideways the milan player did to get away from his marker about halfway through.

    Take a look at the Jenkinson shot at around 4:22. Can't recall many players hitting the ball like that in this years version. Looks like a set of new shooting animations to me.

    The dropped ball was in this years version by the way, just offline.

    Like I said, it's subtle enough but that is all you are going to see from a grainy youtube video. Atleast try it before you start laying into it.

    Just so you know I have seen that save numerous times from the cut back FIFA 12, and Jenkinson shot is 100% from FIFA 12 I have taken that shot on many occasions. Walcott's massive touch is also in FIFA 12, the reason he is taking the massive touch is the stats for players are all over the place atm. He'll have decent control in the full release. I think the Ox has 67 pace with their current test stats atm lol.

    Never seen the dropped ball this year personally, must be rare cause I have been playing offline a lot lately, had a few injurys and never seen it.

    As I said this must be an early build because frankly very little seems different, the same sweet spots for finesse shots, the same wonderful defending (that your so fond of), same through ball weighted pass. The same passing patterns are the most noticable thing.

    Obviously they will make changes, but frankly if they were going to make anything other then very minor tweeks they would have stood out in that video.

    Looks like Van Persie's rating is 88, judging by the video above.

    Rooney is 89 - according to the UT link above.

    Lovely stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,220 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Yeah but they're both slow so they will no good in Ultimate Team.

    Anyone know if Spanish commentary will be available for the 360 version. Annoyed it wasn't available last year

    Will the vita version have all the same features the ps3/xbox 360 has?


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    EA has announced that Messi will be joined on the FIFA 13 UK cover by Arsenal star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Man City and England number one Joe Hart.

    Surprised they are not using Rooney anymore but to be fair hes been on it a good few years now at this stage. Very surprised at Oxlade Chamberlain getting the nod though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 152 ✭✭malascoile


    When is it going to be released.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    Sept 28th for the full game

    Sept 11th for the demo

    Don't EA have exclusive deals with Man City & Arsenal?

    I still laugh everytime I look at the cover and see Jack Wilshere :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 81 ✭✭petiha


    after looking at a gameplay video from Gamescom ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-cV4in0kh0 ) I think that the game is too fast... :eek: it doesn't look natural nor realistic because of the speed...

    what do you guys think? :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Mate went into HMV just there to enquire about FIFA 13. Told him that he'd get €12 off if you trade FIFA 12 against FIFA 13. Regular edition €50, Ultimate Team Edition €55.

    Decent offer especially since Gamestop only offered €3 off if you traded in FIFA 12 against it.

    I'd need to play it to get a feel for what it's really like.

    But from switching to Ultimate Team after Xmas, have to say the speed of H2H is ridiculously slow and then adding the massive stamina burning it makes the game a contain fest.
    It's too hard to break down someone who has a packed box if they just contain everything you do.

    Contain has less off an effect in UT as you can get the space for a lay off shot or one two it around the person quicker.
    You have to defend yourself more which is definitely a good thing IMO.

    So I'm hoping they have altered the speed back. Fast in 2012 is really normal.

    Is that €50 and €55 after you trade in Fifa 12 or is that just the normal price?

    Never deal with Gamestop. The worst value for trades in and the most expensive for new games.

    In the Crescent in Limerick for example,

    HMV will sell a new release for 47.99 (usually). Gamestop, a couple of doors down are 54.99 (usually). There are a few exceptions, but this is the generally the rule.

    I wonder how they ever do any business. No wonder Gamestop are losing money on their Irish arm.

    Is this offer in HMV still going? might go into Gamestop and cancel my pre-order tomorrow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,482 ✭✭✭brianregan09


    If you cancel ur pre order will they give you you're money back ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,369 ✭✭✭LostBoy101

    Yes you can get your money back, but they can push you to put it on another pre-order or even lie because it hurts their sales.


  • Registered Users Posts: 42 Unk123


    Is the youth academy and scouting system still going to be in Fifa 13?
    I've also heard that they will be doing an update on boots during the year for example if new predator boots or Etc come out in say November they will do regular updates and stuff , is this true or what?

    Just went into HMW this afternoon and they still have the deal for fifa 12 trade in at around 10-12 euro so I'm planning on bringing it in tomorrow before the price of the deal drops.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,825 ✭✭✭Mikeyt086


    I was offered €16 in HMV around 10 days ago but they said they wouldn't take the Ultimate Edition for whatever reason.

    Not really, he's a popular up-and-coming english footballer. Its only for the UK cover.

    HMV gave me €13.50 off Madden 13 so I'd be hoping for around €10 off Fifa 13.

    It makes no difference at all. I'm guessing they don't want customers expecting something extra because the box says 'ULTIMATE EDITION' across the top.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,772 ✭✭✭SureYWouldntYa


    For the love of god there better be a better loan system in '13. Nothing worse than getting a player overall round 60 in your academy, not good enough for first team, chelsea btw, and nobody will take them on loan. Whenever i play as a league 2 side i would gladly take some of those players

    Arsenal have a partnership with EA don't they, the same as Manchester City? They were always going to pick one of the English lads for the UK cover so that basically left Jenkinson, Gibbs, or Oxlaide-Chamberlain if they wanted someone different as Wilshere and Walcott had been on it before. They've gone with the most popular out of those and realistically if it's based on the above criteria the only one they really could.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,901 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Can anyone tell me if you can setup a custom league in Fifa 13? Few lads in work will be getting this and we want to make our own online league. Is this possible?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    Yeah you can, its in them all going back the last few years - thats what we run the leagues here in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,901 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Thanks Axwell. Can you tell me if the scheduling can be flexible? Like, does it know when 2 people have played each other twice or do you have to give it a scheduled time and date?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    There is no time and date it just has the list of teams and the user who has them. Then you can set how many times teams play each other, either twice or four times and it will show beside each time how many times you have left to play them. So if its set to play four times and I play you once I will see a 3 beside your name showing we have 3 matches left. We record the fixtures and results ourselves elsewhere, we just use the league to accommodate the matches themselves and making sure people have played their games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,901 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Thats class! Really looking forward to this and sign me up if there are any Boards leagues happening!
