It seems like EA actually wants to keep the worst company award

More affecting of the console players, but EA repackaged Fifa 12 as Fifa 13 for the Wii. They kind of have a dodgy reputation as far as all of the sports franchises go, its just more fuel for the fire i guess

STOP BUYING EA GAMES ASSHOLES!

Is it that hard? Is your gaming fix so bad that you can't control your hand from reaching for your wallet for once? Do you feel like your life will be incomplete if you miss a single iteration of these games?

I've never purchased a sports game in my life, and never will. I take being a nerd seriously.

I don't dislike EA enough to miss out on the Mass Effect series, if that's what you're asking. Couldn't care less about FIFA.

Haven't bought anything EA since BF3. Looking forward to DA3, I do like that universe, but I will be watching reviews for ruination like DA2 closely.

I buy for the game itself, Not the brand. If its fun, i'll buy it. I agree that they have not been trying very hard in many of their franchises, especially sports, i'm very dissapointed with Madden and the fact they won't make a PC version nor work on making it just plain fun like Sega's 2k series was.

Actually they could stand to drop the "Madden" title. A simple title works just fine and may even reinvigorate their sales for it. But why they refuse a PC title for this one is beyond me. Actually i'd be happy for any good PC football game with great graphics

Fifa 13 is a pretty great game. Definity recommend it for pc. Who cares about the wii, nobody uses them anymore.

Ditto.
Even when the games are different, they make such minor changes I just dont understand why people feel like they have to buy every year.

In fact they sometimes go backwards. PGA Tour 2002 was good, 2003 was the same but with a buttload more courses, 2004 was a huge drop in gameplay quality just to showcase the improved graphics. 2008 was another hit to gameplay and a minor boost in graphics. I stopped playing at that point.

So what's the problem here? EA is taking advantage of the fucking idiots out there, can't say I wouldn't do the same thing if I was in their shoes. Like someone once said, "an idiot is born every minute".

And as if EA is the only evil company. Who's the genius that packaged and market Fiji Water? Premium H2O anyone?

Same with appliance manufacturers, plus they jack up the price $300-$500 for the "new" model.

 

[VulgarDisplay]

What the problem is?

Activision does this yearly with Call of Duty and breaks sales records.

Ubisoft doesn't with Assassin's Creed.

Any sports game is just a refreshed re-release of the previous years garbage. So what that article was saying is that if they updated the menu's for the 2013 version of the game eveveryone would have been happy.

All I wish was Madden 13 was for PC..., other then that *spits* screw EA

 

[aaksheytalwar]

Just bought FIFA 2013. The worst way to package a pc game. No mention of controls or game rules. Way too complicated to figure how to launch a match. I would have gone for a refund if it were an option. Not seen a worse way to present a game.

Though BF3 presentation isn't that bad, nothing to boast about either though.

And if you had a console you could buy it used.
Of course, EA is spearheading the operation to kill used sales and rentals.

 

[CubicZirconia]

The menu isnt great, no question. It is a really great game though. There is a controls menu. Give it a chance and you'll enjoy it. Remember you don't play the menu.

Edit: for those who do buy fifa, be sure to play full manual controls. Game is so much better. Tough at first, but worth it.
