FIFA 3DS is the worst case, no visual improvement, no online, no new modes or changes on anything........50 euros

But people do not seem to care. All these games are basically the same year after year but people just keep buying them. Even now when you have player creator and whatever else. You can just move last years player around if he was traded. No big deal.


The console versions of FIFA 13 offer significant improvements over FIFA 12.

Did you not read the article? This is only about the Wii and Vita versions of the game. The Wii version is understandable since it is underpowered and at its limits, but the Vita? This thing is having trouble selling and when you do stuff like this it doesn't help at all.

Their are 11.000 players in the game so that would mean they have to update almost 40 players on a daily basis... It is simply impossible, especially with the 2012 worldcup edition releasing aswell..Not talking what they did good but it should not be surprise.....No smart business company would skip a year when 10 million gamers want it...


There's a simple solution to this problem. Extend dev time, or hire more employees. I don't know much about the EA Sports devs but they could do what Activision does and make multiple studios collaborate with each other.

Who said they should skip a year?  The point is they didn't add a single new feature, update animations, or even really change the images and layout on the menu screen--zero effort went into this game outside of changing the skins on the character models.

So they didn't add the saudi arabian leaque?

They did not added features in the Career mode?

They did not add new stadiums like the Tottenham stadium?

They did not add new equivalent international tournaments for the World CUP/ Uefe leaque ?

etc.....

The added features are weak true but it is the gamers their money and if they are enjoying it their is not much to do about it.

The weirdest part is that the vita version of 12 came out like 6 months ago

They probably did some tests, and determined that these systems couldn't even run the title screen.

Hardly, there are Gamecube sports games that look better than Wii FIFA.

Lol, EA Sports have been doing this for years. Every now and then there'll be a major revamp, but most of the time it's just an annual copy & paste project. They update the players/teams with possibly a little extra optimisation but everything else stays the same.

If there was a genre where I can see paid DLC being justifiable, it's for sports. Release the base game at the start of the generation, build a really good engine from the outset and then once a year charge people $10-20 for updated rosters, player stats, game play tweaks etc.

I'm not saying this is the best way to go but better than charging people $50+ per year for updated, rosters, player stats etc.

And EA wonders why gamers hate them. Robbing gits!
