I bought FIFA 13 yesterday and it's a lot of fun. I haven't played a FIFA game since FIFA 11 so I spent most of yesterday just learning how to play again. I also discovered Ultimate Team and I think I'm starting to get hooked. I have no idea what I'm doing in FUT but it's fun to have a persistent team that you can customize and build yourself without having to fuck around in Career mode. The only problem is EA's servers seem to be total crap. I can play one game before I inevitably lose connection to EA's servers.

And FIFA 13 is the most realistic version yet:



Anyone fucked around with Ultimate Team before? Or have any tips for playing in general? I can usually win in Semi-Pro but Professional is a crap shoot for me.

No kidding.  You're logged on longer on that than I am on NCAA 2013.   :P

Last I tried was 11. I couldn't get a handle on the controls, so I gave up.  :blush:

That is physically impossible. Every time I watch a movie on Netflix I see 'NCAA 2013' underneath your name.  :D

I can never get the dribbling skill moves down in any version I've played so I just pass the ball around until I find an open shot.

Yeah, I'm not dexterious enough to do anything other than the basic controls pass, lob, shoot. All the tricks seem to require my having 20 fingers.

I used to see how small a team you could legally field after red cards.

Gerrard is awesome in sweeping the leg.

What's the PS3 command for the Italian pratfall with nobody around in FIFA'13 anyway?  L2 + O?

They'll never walk alone...without assistance that is.
