Damn Amazon. Pre-ordered in plenty of time and they dispatch the game on the day of its release. Haven't had it today and won't have it tommorrow either. Very annoying and got me in a bad mood. Was going to kill it over the three days before I go back to Uni. Not pre-ordering off Amazon again, since they clearly don't understand the premise of pre-ordering. I pre-ordered WWE 12 last year from Amazon....and I paid extra for express delivery....and it STILL didn't come on release day.

I like how EA let you download a cover for your team (as long as you support one of those teams of course.) Gonna print the Newcastle one sometime. www.ea.com/uk/football/1/fifa13-club-packThe new skill games are a bit addictive. I was about to turn the game off last night but spent about 20 minutes trying to get the ball into the bins instead.

No, but I think people will be making them. I've seen a request for a Liverpool one on the FIFA 13 forum so it's just a matter of time really.

That's what I thought too. Why do Villa get one and not them?

That explains it then. Though the thought of Mike Tanaka and John Rutter getting up to no good with a chimp does sound more appealing.
In the window of my GAME store they had put up mock posters of Messi and Ronaldo wearing Newcastle and Sunderland shirts. We can but dream.

Have the difficulty levels been fixed this year on FIFA? Nope. I don't see an improvment anyway. World Class is still easier than Professional.

Skill games are fun but really annoying, cant do the free-kick one at all.

I paid first class so it would arrive day 1 and didn't arrive until saturday afternoon. Have had my postage refunded, won't preorder from them again.

I am pulling my hair out, really I really thought after this amount of time things would have been fixed. Semi-pro too easy, professional too hard (not just me, seems to be a lot of folk). I try & do an SPL season, but because the players are all so shite, every game is brutal to watch, get the ball you lose it, then the A.I losses it. Seems to me the only fun you can get out of it is if you go PL teams, whats the point in everything else then? My mate was saying i need to practice, but the problem for me is i have two young children & a full time job, i just want to pick up a game & play it. I am not 16 anymore where i can sit & play it 12 hours straight without a care in the world. The only good thing seems to be online head to head, the games are fun & open, but the thing is i like doing seasons & building a team. I noticed when playing the game against the AI the games are dull, & never seem to have more than 3 goals. I find it really hard to create space for myself in the oppositions half unless i have a world class player. Bit of rant, but i just payed £40 for it.

I mostly agree with the above. Professional is bloody hard, but Semi-Pro is too easy. I have it on Professional, with some of the stats decreased (CPU game customisation). Have much better games now. Love the new career mode features (signing players, more realistic transfer fees, etc.), though.

Made the mistake tonight of starting a Div 4 Ultimate Season with a crap team. Gonna have to play the full 10 games now and apart from the 3 Professional/Semi-Pro matches i'm struggling against World Class/Legendary teams.
Thing is if I had a few decent players i'm sure i'd be picking up some wins. I've got Kaka and apart from that some average 77/78 golds and bronze full-backs. I'm only losing by the odd goal on WC, but got absolutely hammered by Legendary Everton.
I am enjoying FIFA 13 on the whole though, finally come around to tactical defending so having some decent online results. Gonna get my teeth into a career mode this week.

Started playing the pro club drop in matches as a RCB and I'm pleased to see I've still got it. Made a load of killer blocks and tackles in one game which saved us. Was 1-1 but would've been a 6-1 loss without me. The match rating decreasing for no reason is sadly still there though. I was on a 9.5 and I'm just standing in my position while the action's down the other end and it's just dropping steadily into the 7's and there's nothing I can do about it.

Finally fallen in love with this game. Unlocked the billionairre takeover feature from the catalogue and its so much fun taking over a team in the Football League and not struggling like always.

If anyone who preorded from Amazon wants to sell their 10,000 EASFC Points for Xbox 360, send me a PM.
On a side note, love the little touches like managers and players on the side and Geoff Shreeves doing injury reports etc etc

I pre-ordered from Amazon and got the 10,000 credits, but the code doesn't seem to be working :/
