Awesome. I have it for PS3 and it's a great football game

dangert124577d ago

Awesome I have It for xbox and Its a great game

Noticeably_FAT4577d ago

Why do you have disagrees for having it and liking it on Xbox 360? Where as the fella above you said he had it on PS3 and he gets agrees? Is this site biased in some way? /s

lorianguy4577d ago

@Noticeably Fat

It's N4G, you can get disagrees for the silliest little things. There be trolls on these here servers ;)

solidjun54577d ago (Edited 4577d ago )

who cares what system you guys have it for. Just be happy you're enjoying it.

I haven't bought a FIFA game in years. I might go ahead and try this. Last time was FIFA on the Ps2.

I was watching this guy play at my local Best Buy. Looked great.

Anon19744577d ago (Edited 4577d ago )

Meh, it works both ways. Sometimes you'll get more agrees from the PS3 crowd, sometimes 360 fans. It depends on the article. As Fifa is a huge European thing, and given that most PS3's are owned outside of the US - of course there's going to be a higher PS3 fan contingent in this article.

Fifa usually sells millions in Europe by the time it hits 100k in the US on the PS3, and it's always sold more on the PS3 in general. Of course there's going to be more PS3 fans about in a related article. It's just demographics.

Go into an article about Madden and say "I bought this on my PS3" and you'll witness the exact opposite as what we see here.

Wow that's crazy..... fanboys ruin this site.

pctrollv44577d ago

dangert124577d ago

@Noticeably_FAT I don't know I don't actually have an xbox. Ive said it before that could be the reason.I just wrote that cos I though I'd show him how irrelevant him bringing up his ps3 is

Pacman3214577d ago

I think the game is great but the new tackling system is hard to get used to!

TruthBTold4577d ago

I play with Legendary (I think it's called legendary) defense settings as I did not like the new defesense system. I also added speed as it was too slow and now I am hooked. Best FIFA ever. Really worth it if you love football.

CynicalVision4577d ago

@Noticeably

You know, fluffy has disagrees as well so it's obviously not biased.

BlmThug4577d ago

Fluffy (Bought on ps3) = 10 Agrees and 3 disagrees while dangert (bought on Xbox) has 6 agrees and 7 disagrees so Dangert is currently in the minus now

NBT914577d ago

It doesnt even matter anyway, as far as I know disagrees do not actually mean or even do anything. Bubble votes change the amount of comments you can make per article, I think... But agree / disagree numbers are pointless to me, I dont see why so many people on here always talk about them =/

Prophet-Gamer4577d ago

Well, unlike NFL, real football is widely popular across the world, the most played sport of all time iirc.

towelie12884577d ago

yea got it for xbox360 great graphics and controls love it

user8586214577d ago

wow not sure y the disagrees, guess some people are just very insecure

NBT914577d ago

He said it has great graphics, and I disagreed with that. I think it looks okay but it does not look much different to 11, or 10 for the matter.

And again, disagrees mean nothing, the fact that someone clicked disagree for no reason does not make them insecure.

Rage_S904576d ago

I don't normaly click agree/disagree. But right i now I'm doing it because it's funny to see how uptight people seem to be over it.

towelie12884575d ago

just a bunch of haters here
if i said PS3 everyone would be all over my D!$K

pretty sad
anyway
fifa is great

labaronx4577d ago

was there a demo on psn or xbox live

OcularVision4577d ago

On Xbox Live for sure. I almost never checked the PSN Store though.

labaronx4577d ago

when i download crysis and maximo tonight, and i'll download it from live to see if it feels different based on the controller

OcularVision4576d ago

I don't understand why I get so many disagrees for helping someone?? o.o

Sizzon4577d ago

Nice, FIFA is huge, although I'm not into most sports games, congrats to EA Sports.

Jonah_Reese4577d ago

Soccer fans go HAM I FIFA seems to have blown up, even more now. Or maybe I just wasn't paying attention to it before.

iceman064577d ago

FIFA is the best selling sports title out there...most would assume that it is Madden because it get more publicity, but it is FIFA.

Hilarious things happen when video-game physics go wrong

DSOGaming writes: "This article was inspired by a video that Elias Peppas shared with me. YouTube’s member ‘HelixSnake’ made a compilation of some epic physics fails from Skate 3. And this made us wonder; what could possibly go wrong in a video-game when physics engine go insane? Well, the answer is quite simple. You can get some gay stuff thanks to the Impact Engine of Fifa 12 & 13, spinning cars, boobs that can go up and down, and games with non-existent collisions (yeah, we’re talking about the legendary ‘Big Rigs’ game)."

Lol that Saints Row 3 one :p -- Damn now I feel like playing the game again..

bayport4187d ago (Edited 4187d ago )

Lol the Skate 3 vid looked more like a Garry's Mod vid

Lol @ one of the youtube comments

"Go home Physics, you're drunk"

PS3Freak4187d ago

I used to play a lot of Skate 3, so watching that entire video made me cry laughing.

SolidStoner4187d ago

I never played football games, I didn't know they are so gay!

knowyourstuff4187d ago

When game physics go wrong?

More like when game physics go *right* lol

ado9084187d ago

Idk why you got 7 disagree's. Although I thought the skating vid was funny especially when the guy fixes the bench and puts it back in place and another guy runs into it and knocks the bench and him over

Myst4187d ago

Meh doesn't worry me much anymore. People disagree just to do so, to rile people's nerves or something else. I've come to expect it

*shrugs*

Snookies124188d ago

LOL! That freaking Skate 3 video collection was just amazing... I want that game now...

Myst4188d ago

Lmfao I just saw it and I haven't laughed that hard in a while my eyes are watery.

Relientk774187d ago

Skate 3 looks fun haha

like all those clips were great

no_more_heroes4188d ago

LOLOL THAT was the funniest thing I've ever seen!!! Especially the Skate 3 compilation!!!

wastedcells4188d ago (Edited 4188d ago )

That was good times. Laughed so hard it made me want to search for more.

Sp1d3ynut4187d ago

I don't know that it's truly a bug....it is a Japanese game, after all. ;)

EA dodges accusations of FIFA 12/13 Wii being the same game

Go Nintendo - When EA was contacted about FIFA 12 being largely repackaged as FIFA 13 for Wii, here's what a rep had to say.

lifesanrpg4210d ago

Go Nintendo seems to be scratching for news here. Sure, it probably is the same game, but what do you expect with Wii?

badz1494210d ago

this has been going on the PSP for so long! why complain now? it's no surprise that EA is not going to invest too much for a console that is in its way out and Wii versions are always just like the PS2 and PSP versions - cheap money grabbing ports! for FIFA, the money is always on 360 and PS3 since 2008!

I'm not defending EA here but that's what happen when even Nintendo has abandoned the Wii now!

dark-hollow4210d ago (Edited 4210d ago )

The problem is how much they ask for it.

$20-$40 is steep for this lazy repackaging and they take advantage of the ignorance of those who buy it.

if you don't want to invest in a dying system then don't bother at all, but don't rip off those who's still game on these systems and expect nobody to complain.

TheColbertinator4210d ago

lol EA repackaging old games into the new version each year?

Wait until the Madden fans find out...oh wait nevermind.

GillHarrison4210d ago

They literally mean the same game, with just updated rosters and logos. No other changes whatsoever.

TheColbertinator4210d ago

EA strikes again.

EA 18 - Gamers 0

profgerbik4210d ago (Edited 4210d ago )

Wow EA and here I actually gave you a little credit for Fifa 13.

Now I feel stupid. How are companies able to just rob people like this? Actually getting away with it being caught red handed also?

Can someone sue these basterds already, charging for online to play in old games, now this? Is this not enough proof they are greedy as shit?

Or am I missing something here?

4210d ago
wastedcells4210d ago

They probably don't even sell enough copies on wii to justify any major effort. They just release it with an updated roster for those who missed last years or new comers.

FIFA 13: 8 FIFA 12 Star Players You Should Consider Again

WC - Now that EA Sports have released this year’s addition to the FIFA franchise – and picked up a five star review from us in response – it’s time to get under the skin of FIFA 13, and cater to those players who will have already began to log some serious hours not only in online play against friends, but also in Career Mode and building their Ultimate Team from the ground up. And that means looking a lot closer at the players in the game, and at EA Sports’ ratings decisions.
