Electronic Arts today unveiled five game-changing innovations that will bring revolutionary changes to EA SPORTS FIFA 13 along with the largest and deepest feature set in the history of the franchise.

See the first FIFA 13 screenshots!

"We are perfecting the best sports game in the world with innovations that capture all the drama and unpredictability of real-world football," said David Rutter, Executive Producer for FIFA 13. "These are game-changing innovations that will revolutionize our artificial intelligence, dribbling, ball control and collisions to create a true battle for possession across the entire pitch, and deliver freedom and creativity in attack."

The most sophisticated artificial intelligence ever achieved for the FIFA franchise will drive FIFA 13 on HD consoles and PC. All-new Attacking Intelligence enables players to analyse space, work harder and smarter to break down defenses, and think two plays ahead. Players now possess the intelligence to create, curve, or alter runs to capitalize on openings as they occur, make runs that pull defenders out of position to open passing channels for teammates, and better position themselves for new attacking opportunities.

In FIFA 13 every touch matters with the most comprehensive and intuitive dribbling system ever developed. Inspired by the world’s best footballer, Lionel Messi, Complete Dribbling enables players to face their opponent and use precise dribble touches combined with true 360° mobility with the ball, so it’s easier to be more creative and dangerous in 1v1 opportunities. Players change direction quicker, are more explosive accelerating with the ball, and are more effective shielding defenders for longer stretches. FIFA 13 1st Touch Control transforms the way players control the ball, eliminating near-perfect touch for every player on the pitch, and creating variety and uncertainty around ball control. Factors such as defensive pressure, trajectory of the ball, and velocity of the pass now impact a player’s first touch, creating more opportunities for defenders to win back possession.

The second generation of the Player Impact Engine expands physical play from just collisions to off-the-ball battles between players. Defenders push and pull for position, and use their size and strength to win possession or force opponents into poor touches and decisions before the ball arrives. FIFA 13 Tactical Free Kicks provides the tools to create dangerous and unpredictable free kicks utilising the most skillful players on the pitch. Position up to three attacking players over the ball and utilise dummy runs and more passing options to create elaborate free kicks. Opponents can counter by adding or subtracting players to the wall, creeping the wall forward, or sending a bullet man to intercept the pass or block the shot.

FIFA 13 will also feature:
Improved Career Mode with major changes developed in response to requests from the most passionate fans of the franchise
New features to enhance the massive EA SPORTS FIFA online offering, including improvements to the wildly popular Head-To-Head Seasons mode
Multiple new features and benefits to EA SPORTS Football Club, the live service that is the heartbeat of FIFA
Complete authenticity with more than 500 officially licensed clubs.
Additional new modes and features will be announced in the months ahead.

Seems like the same buzzword bullshit they always spout about their revolutionary gameplay, yet they can't get the basics right. EAD.

I wonder if they'll be able to figure out the through ball as well, time after time it's so, so awfully done.

[Big Sledge]

Ahhh I remember back in the glory days of PES when the through ball was lethal.

I used to love soccer games back in the days of the PS2 Pro Evo 2 & 3 were two of my most played games on any console. Fell out of love after I was burnt out.

Apparently FIFA is the best version these days, so I'll look at this come years end

I honestly believe that PES2012 is the beat football game I've ever played.

Defending and passing the most obvious things that needed to be fixed.

For online, they need to force people to manual user players. Can't have this hold X bullshit which lets the unstoppable AI take over.

Lounge needs to come back. 100% agree.

The E3 playtest reviews from the guys at FIFASoccerBlog are incredibly promising. It actually sounds like they're addressing all of the issues that are most problematic to me.

Can't wait to play as Chelsea in this one if they sign Hulk.

Will miss Drogba for sure though, has been a FIFA beast for years.

FIFA 12.1

[Ariel_Jewburg]

But it has voice control!

[TSYW]

I'm really optimistic about this year's actually. FIFA 12 let me down in so many ways, so it's cautious optimism, but the AI changes and the work done on the first touch makes me believe that the things holding FIFA back have been addressed.
