From the moment you first set foot in one of FIFA Soccer 13’s beautifully detailed stadiums, it’s clear that EA’s latest football outing isn’t the revelation that its predecessor was. Sure, it’s still feature-packed and entertaining, but where FIFA Soccer 12 revolutionised and updated the classic FIFA formula in some wonderfully inventive ways, FIFA 13 merely maintains it. Its long list of improvements–enhanced physics, AI, player physicality, a better defending system, a tweaked Ultimate Team mode, and a new Skill Games mode–are welcome and well-implemented changes. But on the pitch, it’s hard to tell that you’re playing a dramatically different or better game than FIFA 12.
