Watching soccer players like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo do their thing on the field is truly a thing of beauty. Playing soccer like them is a fantasy come true, and EA Sports supplies the perfect game to do so with their newest release, FIFA 13.
Filled with crazy realistic graphics, an improved game engine, and, of course, Ultimate Team mode, FIFA 13 has enough going on to keep even the most extreme soccer head busy. Some noted tweaks to the game include the addition of a more realistic dribbling experience, as the player can actually control the dribbling instead of it being mainly automated. There's also more emphasis on possession; more realism and skill have been added to how a player controls (or loses control) of the ball. Another awesome addition has been the team and player form, where what is going on in the world of professional soccer effects player and team ratings on the game (that is, unless your team is having a lousy year).
As for the soundtrack, with soccer being the global game that it is, EA Sports made certain that it would have a global soundtrack. Artists from the UK like Bloc Party and Django Django, New Zealander Kimbra, Spain's Crystal Fighters, and American artists like Santigold and Deadmau5 trule make FIFA 13 a global affair. The music really serves as the perfect backdrop as you manage your favorite team through Ultimate Team mode, or simply show off your ball skills playing head-to-head with a friend. The songs on this year's version of the game have truly been one of the best, with a wide variety of music bringing music snobs, soccer fans, and gamers together in one awesome experience.
