Cheers

Ordered mine with them and picked express delivery.

Heard of people saying on boards that their order sometimes arrives the day before release.

Here is hoping.

LostBoy101

Really liking the look of the new arena and hopefully they will install something like that in Career mode as a "training session"

If you PM Pat, he'll sort it out for you I'm sure.

Already sent a request to change it! All sorted now!

Mario Balotelli's Hulk pose will feature as a celebration:

I also covered this, but there's a segment towards the end about a possible new skill pass.

Not gonna lie, I am pumped for those skill games. Always wanted things like crossbar challenge to kill the time between games, instead of just trying to pull off Rabona's. :pac:

OOOOOOOOOOOmygodomygodomygod.

Can't wait.

Did anyone else take note from the video that dinking the ball looks improved over previous FIFA's?.
In one challenge, the player is chipping them from close inside the box.

Have to say they're a waste of time since that FIFA when everyone used to do them(08, 09?).

Sometimes I try them when I'm 4/5 nil up. They either travel about 4 yards or else if you do get it over the keeper the elevation kills the forward momentum and they don't carry far enough.

They did however add an alternative in the WC game that some people still haven't copped onto.
In that if you have enough space between yourself and the keeper and he's outside his box, if you finesse the shot it usually just blows by him.
However if you're too close to goal or he gets at you too quick, you need to flick it around him then.

They've finally put being in Europe in your first season.

Excellent and it makes CM a lot more realistic than it was before.

Some more info Career Mode i saw on the FIFA forums

All from Nicolas Van Hoorde, who just had a four hour playthrough of CM and Be a Pro.
Follow him @NicolasVH

Career Mode #FIFA13

- There are a few more sliders in audio settings. Not 100% sure, but you can now set volume imported chants and 'voices players'. All other settings seem pretty much the same.

- Have been asked this. Saudi Pro League and Polski League are in.

- Here's a BIG one: you can now play in European competitions from the first season in Career mode. No play-off games for season 1, straight to groupstage. Both Champions' Cup and Euro League. Good enough. Also, you can let the CPU pick the teams (randomize) or just pick the teams yourself, so you can replicate the groups from real life!

- New option before starting CM: set financial strictness. This is a percentage that decides how much from a outgoing transfer you get.

- Started CM with Chelsea. Got a bid of 37 million EUR for Mata from Man City. Counter-offered 57. They got back with 49. I accepted.

- Haha, new option when creating your manager. Outfit-style: training, suit or 'shirt and tie'. Can also choose color.for all those wondering where RVP is going. #FIFA13 decided he's going to Bayern for 34 million EUR.

- Wanted list for transfers is a nice addition.

- Menus are much more responsive. Visual style is mainly the same, but it's much smarter presented. Less going back/forth in menus.

- I can confirm that your created manager will be visible during matches. You can also see your teammates warm up during a game. Nice touches. And yes, the managers move. New sub cutscenes. Yes, the managers seem to celebrate/react dissapointed after a goal.

- Still limited to 3 subs in friendlies.

- Also noticing much more noise from the crowd. Especially when alone on goal or before/after a shot. Much more atmosphere.

- Changes in gameplay are much more subtle than last year. But that's fine. It's a much better game than #FIFA12.

- New cutscene before first compeition game. Photographers take team photo. Again a nice little touch. Also captains shaking hands.

- You can hand in a request to the board to receive more transfer budget. It comes with a price though. I requested extra money but had to commit to achieving an League Cup AND FA Cup win. I asked for 50 million EUR extra. Got rejected by board.

- skill games really remind my of #TopSpin / #VirtuaTennis minigames.

- New goalkeeper animations spotted. Looks good

- Fourth official holds up board during sub cutscenes.

- What can you say about player growth/youth academy as of yet? @zackforeman No changes on the foreground. But I'm believed that the system in the background has been improved. #FIFA13 #YouthSystem

- Commentary in CM menus! They talk about next week games and talk short about the game you just played/simmed.

- No changes in Transfer Deadline Day.

- Haha, news message that Mata is injured off-pitch. Media reporting he was caught shopping and his shoe lace got caught in elevator and fell. Mata himself claims he got the injury falling over a step in his home. WTF.

- Both Belgium and Norway have shown interest in hiring me as national coach.

Doesn't quite have the same effect...

Well lads, I'm a bit of a noob to fifa. I got fifa 11 a couple of months back for 3 euro and loving it even though I don't really watch soccer. Last fifa before that was fifa 94! Anyway, I have preordered fifa 13 off gamesnash but had a question about career mode.

In 11, I'm playing with Southhampton in div 2 I think. It's all going fine steadily building my player but my team is crap and I can't seem to request a transfer. I started a new career with Liverpool but only played every one in 4 games because I was so bad. I was told to play as player-manager so I can just put myself on but I wouldn't have a clue of transfers or anything like.

Can anyone suggest the best way to start a career in 13 (based off your knowledge from 12 I spose)? Can you request transfers now or do better teams get an interest in you?

Also, being called to played for your country sounds class but I have only read about this when you were asked to manage the country. Can anyone confirm you can get called to play for a country as well?

Thanks!

Sabre0001

PRETTY sure you can get an international call up.

FIFA 13 will be the first that will allow you to move mid-season. Unfortunately you're stuck til end of season now.

Unfortunately you won't be able to do Player-Manager in 13. It's either Manager or Player, nothing in between. They've said that you won't jump into the starting 11 of squads, so this avoids players picking themselves all the time. So really depends on if you want to play Virtual Pro or not. Player mode also avoids the difficulty of scouting, signing and spotting players. You can become a manager when your playing career comes to an end though.

Zero-Cool

Excellent, thanks Sabre. This def makes it easier to choose, will be going with player mode. Only thing left is to decide what team and league I'll start in.

New trailer should be out today, or at least very soon. Happy days.

45 days until this is released. Not that I'm counting or anything..

Looks unreal, but still want to see some gameplay.

LostBoy101

Good video but more interested in gameplay myself.

What type of managers are you in CM? I rely on realistic singings (avoiding spending huge amounts on Ronaldo, Snejider etc..) and I work on getting my young players already in the team on loan or play them often in the 1st team to grow them. The team I start with is Man Utd as there is plenty of youth players to play around.

Normally pick some former giant so was St etienne last year and really enjoyed bringing them back to the top especially with the competition of around 6 money rich teams.. Aubameyang was boss for me.. Looking forward to 13 and the promising new features

Seasons in ultimate team is a nice addition, but as per usual just more pre-rendered footage.

Nice to aim for a trophy in every division, but could be annoying if you miss one along the way...... you'd have to get relegated to win it?

The cheek of EA, they haven't added anything new for two years, they just keep rebranding things that were already in the game.

Saying they have added in two player head to head like its a new feature, pisses me off. Why was it removed to begin with?

And whats more fun then forced live season, good luck trying to play fifa with your club if you support a relegation battler. Just encourages more people to pick real madrid and barcelona.

No gameplay footage either, I wasn't expecting much from the lying sack of sh*t rutter but i mean come on, they haven't done anything for a third fifa running.

Ardent

Hope they do something about the crazy long term injuries in career mode. Had one player out for 8 months with 2 separate medial ligament injuries in the space of one year. Have had loads of other players with the same injury too, one guy currently out for 6 months!

T-b0n3

Demo out September 11th, 5 weeks.

AC Milan, Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus and Manchester City are the teams in the demo.

Looking forward to it myself. Normally the day the demo comes out they day I stop playing the old one!

But you're still going to buy it though ...

What else does Rutter & EA have to do? Stick Messi on the front, slap a 3 in front of the 2 and the game would still fly off the shelves on Sept 28th

Not sure I understand what these mean.

For 1: Can you only do accomplishments online in a match now?

For 2: All Human GK could be fully assisted in the current format and that's why there were so hard to score against?

The option to filter so you don't have to play against a human pro keeper is great. It's a big disadvantage, when you are playing 2 vs 5, and they've got a keeper who stops EVERYTHING, and 3 unreal pro's instead of 3 moguls.

At the moment, if you play with less players, you are at a massive disadvantage. And if you play with less players against a pro keeper, you are at a massive disadvantage. Never mind both together.

The only thing that EA do to piss me off EVERY YEAR is make the demo only 3min halfs?

Why? What the **** is the point of 3min halfs. It's not enough time to enjoy a game. PES demo give 5min halfs and you can actually get into the match. It's utter bull****. It's not like if there are 5min halfs then theres no need to buy the full game. What it means is that I cannot play 3min halfs any more after about a week.

Pisses me off no end, year after year.

Yea that does really get on my nerves. Like you said, 5 mins game would be MUCH MUCH better and would hardly have a negative impact for them. Ah well once the demo is out at least you know its close to the new one!

1) it means that you can't play a load of friendlies offline to grind your Pro to the max before playing Clubs/

2) Yes, human GKs were fully assisted. Now they can't be (although to be fair I thought that they'd made that change in FIFA12

Sounds good, but let's be honest. This stuff should have been sorted last year.
Leaving the boosting and league situation to the side and talking straight gameplay.
All they had to do was make the AI players of a reasonable standard and user players to replicate a realistic level(i.e even going with the FIWC model of 86 players all around).
It was a tap in fest, which made it a bit tiresome at times. Thankfully they've pulled the finger out as it's the best mode for a bit of banter.

Nolan14

Actually cannot wait!! for this to come out!! gonna be really really good the trailer looks amazing the matchday thing is pretty cool was wondering would u have an option to turn the matchday off so your players stats dont go dwn ya no??.

Also looking forward to see what new features are in the virtual pro this year and also what new boots they add to the game

Player ratings at the minute:

http://www.chuzzz.com/UT13/

Just click the club you want, click load, and then click the drop down on the next row and it gives a list of every player from that teams rating. Alternatively just type an individual player into the box and follow the same steps.

Professional Griefer

First time i've been excited about a FIFA in a while.

In other FUT news, FIFA points make the transition from PC to consoles. You’ll no longer be buying packs with MSP or your PSN wallet. Now you’ll be buying them with FIFA points which ARE purchased with MSP or your PSN wallet and are available indifferent amounts. Great news for 360 players as you now transfer ACTUAL money to MSP, then MSP to FIFA Points. Then you can buy packs. Super convenient. Not.

The upside is that once you have FIFA points on your account they can be spent through the console, web app or mobile app.

Lots of gameplay here

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.

Parawind

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.
