    Mi primer FIFA al que le eché cientos y cientos de horas. Aún en este podías meter goles increíbles desde 40 metros. Buah, que recuerdos junto a Javi. "A veces entra", una frase de leyenda, igual de legendaria que era la banda sonora!

    Pretty good game; it has a smooth gameplay and there are few amazing teams (like Barcelona or Man United).

    I reealy hate this fifa. I cant do tricks, gameplay is woodable and rigid. As same as fifa 14, this game cause me furious and i broke a few controller playing in it. For me, fifa 16 and up is better and i broke less pads in later fifa than this fifa. I dont know why people are enyoyed this crap

They make several mistakes, sometimes not even responding to the game. If you want to maximize your enjoyment with the game, play with a friend or online. However, the pros considerably outweigh the cons. If you're just picking up a PS3 or a 360, grab this game as well. If you're into these games, you will definitely get some enjoyment. However, I can only really see it in very specific people, and Fifa 13 isn't a game that will sell you on some fun if you don't already like sports games.… Expand

    Best FIFA game ever, I still play it and listen to the soundtrack 7 years later. EA really need to get their act into gear for next year. This years game was shocking, "THE BIGGEST PAY TO WIN GAME EVER" cannot say anything else about it.

    Plz, I hope this game gets a remastered version on ps4.

    With this FIFA I felt like I could really have an influence on how to defend and attack. Then I played FIFA 14 and 15, but it was not the same. I guess I will come back to FIFA someday, just with the hope they resemble this one at least a little bit.    … Expand

    FIFA 13 is the best instalment of the franchise made to this day. Bouncing off the successful FIFA 11 and 12, the game captures the magic of both expertly. With the vibrant graphics of FIFA 11 and the skill based gameplay of FIFA 12, FIFA 13 rewards those who play good football. The focus on Ultimate Team, which would go on to dominate the FIFA spectrum in later releases was a massive plus.

    I have been playing PES 2013 and Fifa 13 over the past year as the 2014 versions of both were quite poor. So I have quite enjoyed Fifa 13, mainly playing Manager Mode and played a few games online on Seasons. I am not generally a big online player so mostly I play against the CPU.

So I have quite enjoyed Fifa 13, mainly playing Manager Mode and played a few games online on Seasons. I am not generally a big online player so mostly I play against the CPU. I would say that so far it's probably the best Fifa on the ps3, however if you have owned each and every one then you have probably become bored with the series by now, as we all know there is very little which changes each year. Whilst I don't expect a complete overhaul each year, it can become difficult to justify buying Fifa year in year out. After trying Fifa 14 I more or less sold it within the month - overpowered headers etc. So I picked up Fifa 13 quite cheap. If you are not too bothered about the up to date transfers it's a good way to go as it's so much more for your money compared to the latest release. And in my opinion Fifa 13 is better than Fifa 14 in terms of gameplay.

    With future versions of Fifa I hope they put more depth into the gameplay. After a while it seems like you have seen everything the game has to offer, it can become predictable. You also get scripting which can be really annoying. If the CPU wants to score then sometimes there is very little you can do about it, defending is still probably under powered in comparison to attacking. The atmosphere of the game could be drastically improved, get rid of the half empty stadiums when it is an actual league or cup match. On occasion it feels like you are scripted to lose a game, no matter what you do. I still enjoy this game for the most part, playing Manager Mode. There is not the global scouting network or whatever in this version so you can see a players stats anyway before you make the purchase. The Manager Mode progresses quickly meaning not too much time between games. On the pitch not generally many problems but only slight differences between this and all the other Fifa games.

    Recently played the Fifa 15 demo on ps3 and initially was on the fence. However it has grown on me a bit. Still don't know at what stage I will upgrade to ps4. Fifa 15 does seem quite different and once I had played a few games I think it generally seems like a step forward.

    Overall I give Fifa 13 8.1 out of 10 (rounded to 8)    … Expand

    EA has done spectacularly with FIFA 13. The graphics are breath taking and the commentary is immersive. I love game modes such as ultimate team and pro clubs. This game has a nice social aspect to it. Very good game!

    Don't buy this game. Waste of 60 dollars when I bought it. My first football game and probably my last. Controls are just AWFUL and your team is pretty much mentally challenged when playing against tough teams. Go buy a real ball and play with friends. You'll have more fun and it'll be cheaper. EA SUCKS.

    FIFA is always a great game. However, to point out a flaw, the new tactical defending is disappointing. It makes its too easy to stay with your man on defense, greatly effecting online play. It often feels like you are playing a computer player.

    If you play mostly offline as I do you will notice this game is completely different from the previous.
    If you turn down AI level you will easily win each time but with the expert level this game is almost creepy!
    Each time you score, also if you have less than 30 sec left the opposing AI will score!! No matter which team no matter which players, they will always draw the match.    If you play mostly offline as I do you will notice this game is completely different from the previous.

For instance you can clearly get the ball in the area but no, the refs will still give a penalty and also send your man off. I gave this a 2 because I had a few brief good moments with the game, such as on Career Mode, which was, to be fair, heavily updated from Fifa 12, but is STILL not the finished article!

One game i'm winning 5-1 and the next 3 games the players..Xavi or not.. can't even pass 1 meter to the player next to him. Instead the ball goes to the other side of the field or against the opponent who is standing in front of him. Also whether your attacker has 60 shooting or 80 shooting it doesn't matter. The guy with 60 shooting is still shooting rockets into the goal. This game has frustrated me more than any other game. The goals the opponents score can be very awkard/ridicilous. Via 2 or 3 players into your own goal or something like that is very common. Who ever thought EA that Handicap was a good thing must've been onto some liquor.

    I had originally given this game 9 out of 10. However after 6 months the game still freezes from time to time or has weird issues (loaned players taking 2 years to return back to your team or leave the team, etc). I can't see how they haven't fix the issues after all this time! Dropping the review to 4, since when the game doesn't freeze, it's still pretty good.

    New key features such as first touch, attacking intelligence and improved player impact engine are the cornerstones of FIFA 13. Finally, after years of waiting, the ball is really round and there is a sense of unpredictability on the field. That makes an enjoyable footy game. [Nov 2012]

    While it does more iterating than innovating this year, FIFA stands alone atop a somewhat small heap of competition to remain the soccer game you want if you only want one soccer game.

    If you're a die-hard fan, you likely had FIFA 13 in your sights the moment it was announced. If you've been away from the series for a few entries, there's no better time to jump back into FIFA.
