Despite being an old fart I am a gamer, but for the last few years FIFA has become unplayable, too complex and too many controls. Even my 17yo son agrees with me.
After playing the demo I will not be buying for the second year in a row.
Too many complex controls?? Did you know that you can set the controls to just 2 simple buttons? Me and my 8 and 9 year old nephews play it all of the time and they play with that setting and it’s fun for them.
FIFA 13 is probably my most favorite FIFA game to date. I’m having a blast playing it. I don’t mind the learning curve. One of my favorite new features is Skill Games. Those are a lot of fun.
