Fans Opinions

“The free kick's look like a good addition” – KillaAsh

“No huge installments from FIFA 12, but I'm liking the attacking intelligence. It's so frustrating playing a game and being in a good attacking position but your team mates are too stupid to make the run or go where you want them to. Hopefully this changes and offers something more creative. Complete dribbling seems fun, hopefully it will work well with skills and the 1-touch addition could be annoying, but it will be a change from FIFA 12 and should add some realism in intricate areas of football.” - Chelsea Mint FC

www.neoseeker.comDribbling - In Football, dribbling refers to the manoeuvring of a ball around a defender through short skillful taps or kicks with the legs

As you can see FIFA 13 looks very promising and could well be the best FIFA game yet in the series, the new features should add to what the game has severely lacked in previous games – realistic movement (attacking intelligence).
