FIFA 13: New features, Tweaks, and Revolutionary Ideas

June 8, 2012 by Harry Howard 40 Comments

Some FIFA gamers are hoping for new and interesting features to be added to FIFA 13. Others just want little things that annoy them to be tweaked. Finally, we come to those who have revolutionary ideas that will change the way FIFA is played for ever.

TWEAKS

Okay, let’s focus on English football for the time being. When a team gets promoted from say, the Championship to the Premier League, some hardcore gamers may notice that the Championship badge is still on the side of their sleeves and the numbers and names on their shirts are Championship style, not Premier League style. I don’t know the technicalities involved in making shirts change when a team gets promoted but it would certainly be nice to see in FIFA 13.

Also, I have been told by friends that they want to be able to change the hairstyle of real players. For example, David Beckham has not had short hair in real life for several years and yet, in the game that is what he is stuck with. It would be simple to include an option to change the hair style of real players.

NEW FEATURES

Many gamers long for old players that no longer play the game. A few are available in the Classic XI option when playing an exhibition match but it is not possible to incorporate them into another team. There could be an option that would allow gamers to tempt retired players out of retirement. Obviously the older they are, the worse they are in terms of an overall score but this sort of option would really entertain gamers.

People who play FIFA also love using underdog teams and then working their way up the leagues. Of course, that is already possible but perhaps FIFA 13 could include Blue Square Bet Premier League to allow more of what are mostly professional teams to be included.

REVOLUTIONARY IDEAS

The normal TV-Style aerial view of playing FIFA is perfect for most gamers. However, some players long for something more, something closer and more involved. A new 1st person view could be included where the feet and hands are shown as if you are inside the player’s eyes, and the ball is there, right in front of the gamer. That would definitely get people talking and it would certainly be one up on EA’s competitors. Not to mention the fact that it would create a new way to play video game football that is as close as can be to actually playing The Game.

 

Finally, whether any of the ideas mentioned above are ever included in FIFA, it doesn’t really matter. Gamers just want to get involved in the process of developing the next instalment. They, after all, are the ones who pay money for it and who play it the most.

    I think the crowd should be improved on. If a player demands to leave the club upon return to playing against the club the crowd should boo him eg Arsenal fans against Nasri for joining city. That would be awesome. Also transfers should be more realistic. Alot of players like Ozil and Sneijder move clubc way too much. There also be an option to set your own price on a player if a club come calling to sign your player. I should work Fifa and EA.

    • Matt

      lol “I should work for fifa and EA” shouldn’t we all…

  • ArsenalFC

    When you get promoted or after you  finish a season you should be able to change your kit sponsers

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/473C2NUIW3MXVWE3SE7QP766EI Winner

    Get called up to play for your national team when playing career mode. Including friendlies, World Cup Qualifiers and Finals, and other tournaments (euro’s, gold cup, etc…) 

    • Braggy

      YES YES AND YES!!! This is what ive been asking for for ages.

    • lee

      Exactly what ive been asking for. I would like to see some youth players been asked up and present players been asked into recent touraments.

  • dan

    There should be pitch wear as you go through a season. how many time do you see in a match wear its raining hard and the pitch just looks the same when you have finished, allso when you are playing a lower league team in the fa cup you would expect their pitch to be a lot more bobely and warn down than a prem team as they dont have the money.

    there should be weather conditions that effect the game. e.g. taking a goal kick against the wide it will hold up etc.

    licenced refs would be good instead of the likes of derick milborow lol

    more licenced stadiums e.g. white hart lane. surely spurs should have their ground on the game. YID ARMY

    • Jon D Henderson

      Official playstation magazine announced around a fortnight ago that white hart lane WILL be included in this years game :)

  • Joao

    There should be a game mode where you watch a game as a fan, walk around the stadium, etc. And also a mode where you can design your very own stadium.

    • kwasia

      Joao is right

    • eym

      LOOOOOL what a completely ridiculous and arbitrary feature to have, buy a game only to watch a computer play it for you. Brilliant.

      Far too many ideas suggested would take far too much time to program and develop, for instance the idea of including an individual dribbling style for each player, it would be ludicrously difficult to implement – if you took into account the amount of time for researching into styles of movement then actually rendering them inside the game engine – it just is not feasible.

      “I should work for EA” – yeah mate, I think the fantasy suggestions would fit this fantasy statement.

  • Rossmaate

    1st person view sounds cool ‘ maybe sound like that can include the kinect aswell .

  • James Lofthouse3

    change the players ages and stuff

  • Jon manoj

    some way to become a fans of a virtual player you play with in pro ranked will be good….by this way you can know who’s a good player thats playing with you…….if a pro has the ball they should show in his name tag the number of fans he/she has……you can be a fan of numerous players……it will be great… i have been playing this game since 2005…this will actually make people play good…….

  • Matt

    The practice pitch in the main menu should be real life practice fields. Example: Manchester Uniteds carrington facility. It’d be so cool seeing another field in the background with the club house. More stadiums. More player/team chants. The official premier league theme song when players come out of the tunnel. Get uefa to finally sign on so you can bring in champion league badges on the jerseys and the theme song when they come out of the tunnel. More media options before games. Ability to set market price on players. Control sponsorship deals, ticket prices, food prices ect. Vintage teams like Manchester Uniteds treble winning squad from 1999. Players get called up to national team games.

    • PepGuardiola

      THANK YOU!! YOU ARE SOO RITE

  • edward

    after every season you shud be aloud to create new jersey’s for instance change colour of jersey,socks and shorts. and wud it kill you to put player plus money transfer aswel and also have the club world cup aswell and if you win it then the badge goes straight onto your jersey

  • milano11

    I think you guys should improve the players. If you pay attention in fifa 12 a lot of players dont run or dribble like the real players in real life. each player has a unique dribbling style. Also you should be able to play with you nation like one career mode. thats what i think .

  • PepGuardiola

    BE A REFEREE shud reali be included

  • PepGuardiola

    you shud be able 2 bring players up from the academy through to the first team

  • CARL

    ADD THE WALES NATIONAL TEAM

  • miruss

    look into PES2012 football life..fifa 13 should have one too…

  • Teebag

    In my opinion Fifa 13 should modify the way players grow. It should be way more connected to how the players perform than to what their potential is set to be.

    Allow me to illustrate: I have just lead Charlton Ath. to the Premier League and is getting a pretty strong team by signing free or transfer listed players. Among others i got Andreas Laudrup (yes, the son of Michael), a young player, not very high rated, but, i thought, decent player for the future. He has been doing really well, i actually managed to score a lot of goals with him, even though that is’nt his speciality and, of course, assisted to numerous others. His ratings are about 8-9 everytime in the Premier League games. EVEN SO his stats are still only 68!

    I think, to become more realistic, Fifa 13 should allow players to be more “free” from their potential. This would allow a little club like Charlton f.ex. to benefit from large clubs wanting f.ex. Laudrup because of his performances in the league. It would also prevent the game from being way too easy to predict if you did’nt know that Götze would definitely end up a 90-player or that you could develop your own little star by making him do well (score goals, assist and so on). I thought a lot about this and i believe it would make the game, not only more realistic, but better.

    • masonb

      do you mean like as you play the players you use upgrade depending how well you use them while your playing matches cos that sounds like a very great idea especially for ultimate team as you can start with low rated players with a low market price and sell them for more as you upgrade em

    • U-N

      That would be so good if u could do that!

  • http://www.last.fm/user/ryan12147 Ryan Čale

    have they updated the stars on the teams’ jerseys after they win a domestic league championship yet? I think that’d be cool.

  • masonb

    ultimate team should let you make a badge kits home stadium etc as if you actually own and manage your own club also choose sponsers etc game should give you money and the better your team gets you get more fans which equals more money as you become more successful and should be able to make your players dive just for added fun to see if you get caught out by the ref also should show news of real world football matches and you should get the chance to reply the real world matches and do it your own way

  • Brenno

    for pro clubs u should be able to pick ur own squad number im tired of being the no.7 when im a CDM or no.11 for being a CAM. let us pick our own squad numbers. Also add in that u can spectate a game for pro club so if u miss joining the match u can watch it, tired of waiting in the dressing room for the game to finish. And finally add multiple dressing rooms so ur club can play with 3 teams of 3 instead of one team of 9 where its so hard cause some players are greedy little fuckers, u had this in fifa11 and took it out WHY!!!!!!!

  • Shabbaaa

    Have international manager mode

  • Fordy

    My mate and I have talked about this loads things that would make the game more realistic like being able to nagotiate better when selling pkayersz and offering cash plus player in nagotiations!
    Also being able to take charge of the national team and select squad would be good! We offen say how much better the game would be of it allowed you to reply to players that have issues or questions

  • Kenny917

    How about being able to be a player manager for another club at the end of the season? At the mo you can only stay on at your first club as this?

  • chirag jagga

    there should be an AGITATION METER in some rivalry/derby/ high profile matches which would fill up when players go into rough tackles or something, and when it eventually fills up there should be some fighting or dejection among players and referee could show a yellow/ red card to the unruly players as per their behaviour……also for that to happen EA will have to shred its PEGI-3 tag(annoying)….whatsay??

  • mooney

    personnaly i think that we have a pretty good manager mode but what i think will make it better and intresting is to have an international manager mode and i know that there is 2 years between major tournaments but u could watch games u wanted to and go on calender and simulate the games u dont wanna watch then when it comes to the tournament u can pick your 23 players.

  • trojan666

    fix when u play online and you score in about 30 secong and the opponent pause then disconect then you go and check and is like u never play that match!!!it suck when opponents do thar garbage!!!!!!please fix who ever discconect loose..thanks

  • Nath

    I think they should add international teams to career, and also players energy in career mode should be a bit more realistic. Some players play near enough every game in real life, yet in career, they can only play 2 or 3 games on the trot before they are absolutely knackered and have no energy left. Also, would be good to have an option where you could move club half way through the season as a manager.

  • stef

    in be a pro career mode maybe once youve retired after playing a few seasons with say ryan giggs then get option to become a manager obviously starting with a lower league club working your way up. so you have player stats AND manager stats. ALSO choose when to retire i was made to retire at age 24 with piazon from chelsea i was gutted!!!

  • owendrfc

    they need to sort out the youth players that you scout, you will have someone who is 62 ovr and 79-85 potential, but if you dont play him EVERY game then after 4 or 5 seasons, he will be about 67 ovr :/ they dont have to play every game to grow, if they had those stats, then they should grow around 3-4 ovr every season, especially if youve just promoted them and there only 16 or 17 years old. one way they could sort this out is by maybe having a reserve team that you, or your assistant manager could manage, so you can give your young players experience, and so your injured players could start to come back to full fitness, like in real life, but you dont have to actually play these reserve games, they will just be simmed, because the result of the match doesnt matter too much.

  • Frank Flangeworthy

    Make it so if you play a 2v2 online it does crash just before kick off saying the squads are missmatched.

    Make it so you can set a minimum level of latency for head to head games and change it back to where you can see what team you opponent is playing – I don’t want to play Real Madrid v Real Madrid, I’m not a ten year old.

    Make it so you can rate your opponent’s sportsmanship after the game so people have an indication whether or not they want to play these guys. Especially to be able to rate pro players and for them to receive a time ban for particularly bad ratings. These guys scoring own goals or standing on the goal line to try and build their pro need to be killed.

    Either completely revamp the pro section or give everyone maxed out pros from the start. Stop rewarding people for beating Accrington 31-0 with screwed up settings.

  • omar

    After the transfer player should be shown standing with jersey of new team in press conference as happens in real transfers

  • nico
