Fifa 13 is, in essence, a football simulator-- everything is covered, from pregame ceremonies to two British commentators giving their thoughts on each match in real time. A complex control scheme allows players to practice precise control over passes, shots, and tricks, but it's very possible to enjoy the game with just three buttons: pass, shoot, and slide tackle. There's a huge thrill from scoring a virtual goal, and virtual crowds will go wild (or groan in disgust, if you're the away team). The Fifa series is working towards the point which viewing a virtual game will be indistinguishable from a real game. If you squint and ignore some of the strange player animations, they're mostly there already.
I hope you get to watch at least one REAL World Cup game - virtual football can't possibly be as good as the real thing (yet). June 12 - July 13
ReplyDeleteI got Fifa 13 in honor of the upcoming World Cup-- I might try and replicate some of the matches I see.
