FIFA 13 (also known as FIFA Soccer 13 in North America) is the twentieth edition of Electronic Arts' highly-acclaimed association football FIFA video game series. It is developed by EA Canada studios and will be published, worldwide, by Electronic Arts, under the EA Sports label. It will be released in North America on September 25, 2012, in Australia on September 27, 2012, as well as in Europe on September 28, 2012. The game will be released for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, Wii, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo 3DS, Xperia Play, iOS, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X platforms.
Player Impact Engine
The "Player Impact Engine" expands physical play from simple collisions to off-the-ball battles between players. Defenders will push and pull for position, and use their size and strength to win possession or force opponents into poor touches and decisions before the ball arrives.
Tactical Free Kicks
FIFA 13's "Tactical Free Kicks" provides the tools to create dangerous and unpredictable free kicks, by utilizing the most skillful players on the pitch. The player will be allowed to position up to three attacking players over the ball and utilize dummy runs and more passing options to create elaborate free kicks. Opponents can counter by adding or subtracting players to the wall, creeping the wall forward, or sending a bullet man to intercept the pass or block the shot.
Attacking Intelligence
All-new "Attacking Intelligence" enables players to analyze space, work harder and smarter to break down defences, and think two plays ahead. Players now possess the intelligence to create, curve, or alter runs in order to capitalise on openings as they occur, make runs that pull defenders out of position in order to open passing channels for teammates and better position themselves for new attacking opportunities.
Commentators
The North American version of the game will feature new commentary by Gus Johnson, Tommy Smyth and Sam Ryan, replacing Martin Tyler and Alan Smith. Tyler and Smith are still the announcers for the European and Australian versions. This is the first game in the series to include a sideline reporter.
Greg Gumbel, Marcelo Balboa and Charissa Thompson will be the commentators for the tournament modes as well as a secondary team. Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend will be returning in the European and Australian versions.
This is yet to be cited and confirmed.
Leagues
The Czech Gambrinus Liga and the Turkish Süper Lig will return after a one-year hiatus. The Saudi Professional League will feature for the first time in the series.[1]
