PieFacE Posted September 25, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 25, 2012 How come people are playing it already? Darren Bent is absolutely shocking on this game. Everytime the ball goes to him he just cant turn or move or pass or anything... kinda like real life Haven't played 13 yet but in 12 he's a beast, at least when I'm controlling him. Went through about 3 seasons and completely overhauled the squad with world class players after winning the league/CL but I never got rid of him because he's just so damn good. Same. Bent seemed to be able to finish from everywhere. He was one of my best players and consistently got me the goals. Hopefully he is like that in 13. Gonna find out soon He certainly isn't as good as he is on 12. You can no longer just pass it to a striker and twist and turn your way past their defense. It just doesnt work. I seem to only score goals from crosses now (N'zogbia is a beast on this game!). I havent quite worked out how to pass it through the middle yet, it's rather difficiult. Lost my first game last night against Hamburger :x Really frustrating playing Dortmund, PSG, Hamburger all the time. Vlaar is soooooooooo slow! I've found the best way to play is defensive.... playing this formation... Lowton---Vlaar--Clark----Licaj ------ - Bannan ---- KEA --- Nzogbia -----Ireland -------Gabby ------------- ---Bent---------- Ireland is pretty shit hot too!

Daniel Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 3-5-2 is probably the best formation. The 3 defenders all sit way deeper than a 4-4-2 and it's difficult to get hit on the break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troglodyte Posted September 25, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 25, 2012 Doesn't sound like playing as Villa will be a fun experience in head-to-head seasons. No doubt I'll spend ages going through inconsistent runs of form with various teams before settling on one or two! Very much looking forward to this though.

villarule123 Posted September 25, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 25, 2012 Has anyone done legendary on the skill games yet? I've done penalties but I can't get remotely close to any of the others, they're fecking tough. I've added you pieface, I'm JonoB26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 have they fixed the crossing on it? IMO on 12 the crossing was the worst part, either put it out for a goal kick or cut it back to 35 yards from goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troglodyte Posted September 25, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 25, 2012 Chances of the supermarkets having a price war on this game? Very low, it seems. Offers have been cropping up but for limited periods of time: Green Man Gaming had it for £30 for a very short period of time, Sainsbury's were doing 20% off online pre-orders late last week, and Argos were - and may still be - doing some kind of discount if you quote a code when picking up the game in-store, but it wasn't applicable to reserved orders so there would be no way of guaranteeing a copy. I missed the earlier two offers, annoyingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO on 12 the crossing was the worst part, either put it out for a goal kick or cut it back to 35 yards from goal I never had a problem with putting the crosses where I wanted them on 12. The problem was actually winning a header as an atacker. But from what I saw on the skill game I got during the FIFA 13 demo, crosses seem easy to control in this one.

On Fifa 12 I settled on Roma and Leeds as my teams and they're nowhere near the best teams in their ratings (Roma especially are dreadful) but I get really bored of being Napoli etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevangrealish Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 BUZZING to hear jacko's on this years FIFA getting a free copy sent to me thursday and im extremely excited. Apparently jacks rated 64 at the age of 16 on it ? ;O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO on 12 the crossing was the worst part, either put it out for a goal kick or cut it back to 35 yards from goal Always make sure your crossing is semi-assisted in the controls options. Otherwise it's just terrible. I prefer shooting on semi assisted too.... can aim better.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, it's nice to find teams that you just seem to 'adopt' as the ones you play with, for various reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
