Overview

FIFA 13 (also known as FIFA Soccer 13 in North America) is the 2012 edition of Electronic Arts' association football FIFA video game series. It was developed by EA Canada. A demo of the game was released on 11 September 2012; the demo teams included Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City, Juventus, A.C. Milan and Arsenal. The demo was downloaded a record 1.99 million times within three days. The game was released in late September 2012 in most regions, and in Japan in October. The Wii U version was released alongside the console on its launch day in all regions. FIFA 13 included new features to the FIFA franchise such as the First Touch Control. As of December 2014, the game remains the only FIFA title released for the Wii U, despite other Nintendo consoles receiving later games. New celebrations were also added as a new feature. The game received overwhelmingly positive reviews as one of the best FIFA's yet, praised for its fast-paced, fun feel. The new features in this game are the following: Smart Attack: The new Smart Positioning gives attackers the ability to analyze the game, and see the best position to create new attacking opportunities. Attackers will work harder and better to get past defenders, get them out of position and open up new passing options for their teammates. In addition, players have a vision of the game without the ball and the ability to think of various plays to create, double or alter the run and take advantage of gaps. Versatile Dribble: Makes you have complete control of the ball with each touch. Dribble past defenders with the freedom to be more creative in attack. Players will have more explosive acceleration with the ball and will be able to dribble more accurately with 360° mobility with the ball when facing a defender. Face an opponent and fake by moving the ball from one side to the other, avoiding tackles, or protect the ball and thus keep the defender at a greater distance. First Touch Control: The new system eliminates the perfect first touch control of all players, creating uncertainty when they receive difficult balls. Bad passes will be harder to control, allowing defenders to take advantage of poor controls. Factors such as defensive pressure, ball trajectory and passing speed will affect a player's success. Players with better controls and skills will stand out. Now there will be fewer perfect passes, a greater opportunity to lose balls and a better balance between defense and attack. Player Impact Engine 2.0: The second generation of the famous physics engine expands to off-ball fights, giving defenders more tools to regain possession of the ball. Defenders can use their body to wrestle and gain position and use their size and weight to force the opponent to control poorly and have to decide before the ball arrives. Rehearsed Set Piece Plays: Create dangerous and unpredictable fouls by placing three players behind the ball and deceiving the opponent with fake shots, more passing options and elaborate fouls. The opponent can counter by adding or removing players from the barrier, advancing the barrier or having a player dart out to intercept the pass or shot. New Passes: Two new passing options give the player the ability and finesse to pass the ball over the defender's outstretched leg or draw a lob pass into space or to a teammate. Fundamentals: Essential elements have been adjusted to make the experience more authentic. The referees will make better decisions with fouls and cards, the goalkeeper will have improved intelligence and lateral mobility to contain the players is added to the Tactical Defense. Additionally, new animations have been added for off-balance player shots, 180° shots, and celebrations. Authenticity: More than 500 teams with official licenses and more than 15,000 players. FIFA 13 will add equivalents of various international competitions at the national team level, for the career mode.
