Just why would anyone want to be the ref? Though I could have said that about Be a GK, but thats only useful because of the advantage pointed out above. Love to see if it was enabled in Clubs. Might scan in Collina as my game face

Hard to see where the improvements will be in 13 when 12s issues are issues that have generally been there over the last few titles...

They rectified that within 2 weeks of the release. You're missing out

Haha! 8 months that has been sitting in a box no where near my ps3 because of that mess up!

Might sheepishly get it out again...

Can't wait to send everyone off for no reason at all.

"Be the Fourth Official" is DLC scheduled for release in December.

Sorry, in case it wasn't blindingly obvious, I was joking with the above post and photoshop!

Dan7 you need to savour it more, too quick to the punchline, but Tim did warn me about that :eek:

Being a ref sounds like a horrible but fantastic idea.

K1LLSW1TCH · 15 May 2012 at 18:26

I remember being the ref in the WWE games.

TD24 · 15 May 2012 at 18:27

got a week booked off of work for this just like last year. the one day of the year that i look forward to more than any other, FIFA release day.

Jimbeam3678 · 15 May 2012 at 19:05

So when is the release date?

Johnnytoxic · 15 May 2012 at 19:36

Does anyone still play PES ?

You can't expect a completely different game because football is football. The only thing you can do is keep tweaking and adding to it year up on year. I have been happy with what EA put out each year since Fifa 09.

TD24 · 15 May 2012 at 19:49

its normally last week of sept/first week of oct. looking at the calender it looks like it will be 28th sept.

I hope they bring back the ability to 2 foot tackle the keeper when he's holding the ball

thedude23 · 16 May 2012 at 00:54

Will fifa 13 be coming to the vita do ye think?

lee87 · 16 May 2012 at 07:28

Can't wait for this, skipped last years and haven't played any fifa in over a year.

Yes, fifa games are usually released all platforms.

TomHark · 16 May 2012 at 07:36

Sounds like they have completely missed the point again. The problem with the AI currently is that they are too smart (perfect passing, perfect tackling, perfect blocking etc.) so why make them even smarter? The players in FIFA have dozens of stats, but most of them are never used by the AI teams so every team you play against has the same tactics, same skill moves and every goalkeeper is Superman's more althletic brother.

The AI will now think 2 moves ahead supporting play off the ball creating much more fluidity in build up play.

This is one of the key sentences to show how much they don't get it. If you are playing against Barcalona, you would expect the players to be doing this sort of thing, but I wouldn't expect a bunch of Barnet players to be able to do that as well.

Also, who wants to bet that the AI changes won't be applied to the other players on your team as well as the opposition, so all your players will still be offside all the time and will still do that move where they run accross the player you are controlling to become an extra defender...

scwba06 · 16 May 2012 at 07:52

They seriously need to improve of the ball runs. I've lost count of the number of times a nice angled through ball behind the defence goes to waste because the striker you put through on goal runs towards the corner flag instead
