FIFA 13
  • Read that we (HMV) will be selling the vanilla version for £44.99 and the UT Ed. for £47.99 in an email from HO and I'm not too chuffed about that. Was at least hoping for £39.99 and £42.99 at least for the opening weekend but naw.

    It'll still sell, though. We'll mop up the rest when the Gamestation sell out. Just disappointed that people may not take us as seriously as other places for game purchases when we have silly prices like that. I now doubt we'll have much more than 50% of our pre-orders getting picked up.

    Might change though. HO have a habit of fucking around at the last minute.

    To be fair the copy I ordered of the Ultimate Edition from amazon cost almost £47 so I don't think it's unreasonable. Though the vanilla price seems a bit steep compared to the £40 at most other places.

    Like you said though, HO will probably change their mind, I used to work for HMV so I get that.

    £45 is a bit wishful.

    I'm gonna go across the road to Tesco on Friday morn and see what's what, and if they're offering it for a decent price I'll grab it.
  • You know, you guys are lucky. In Norway, game prices are way higher than UK (maybe we got more cash to spend, but still). A normal copy of the game is £64 when you change the currency. UT Edition is £74.

  • Played the demo of this the other day, very nice indeed.  Really like the movement.  However, my mate and I are doing a 24 hour FIFA marathon in November.  He can't afford to move up to 13 yet, and it would be weird for one of us to pay a different game to what we're used to, so I think I'll have o hold off. Pity it's not a game that'll drop in price.

    Sainsbury's arent doing that 'spend 40 quid on shopping get FIFA 13 for 25 quid' thing they did a few years ago?
  • They might but you never know till the day before  it's out , I normally wait till then but thought I'd give UT a go this year and I don't think it was on offer

    Does anyone know if the gifts from the web app are random for everyone? I got 2500 coins today. Can anyone else chime in with what they got if they use the web app?

  • So I bought this for 360 and Vita last night.

    I played about 2 games and went to bed.

    Also, can someone actually explain how chemistry affects you and the team?

    Putting it simply, the better chemistry you have, the more likely you are to be successful (obviously player skill has a say in the matter).

    Passes will be more accurate, positioning better, players will make better runs, shots will more likely be on target.

    There's a decent article on it here if you want to read further.

    That all said, there are a fair few people out there who think it means nothing whatsoever and it's all psychological. I'm not one of those though. I've used the above team (minus Zaha) and beaten a lot of full gold teams in the time I've had the early release.

    I'm sure you have, Oli. But that could be for a multitude of different resasons, first of them being that you're simply better at FIFA than the person you were playing.

    Regardless, I didnt know it would have an impact on the success rate or passing/tacking/etc.

    It's good to know, thanks.
  • Hi all, been on a bit of a hiatus of late. Haven't really poked my head in since my last round of BF3 games on the old forum and that was aaaaaaaaaaages ago.

    Plumped for the ultimate edition today, had a £15 HMV voucher so it didn't sting too much. Is everyone getting stuck right in to that ultimate team business this year? I gave it a bash on 12, and couldn't be arsed sticking with it. Must have put in hundreds of hours on H2H seasons though.
