The soccer game FIFA is one of Electronic Arts’ biggest franchises, especially outside the U.S. The latest iteration, FIFA 13, sold 4.5 million copies in its first 5 days; EA called it the biggest launch in the history of sports games.
It’s one of the last games that Electronic Arts is still releasing on Nintendo’s aging Wii hardware. But buyers of this year’s footy sim got a nasty surprise: EA didn’t bother developing a new version. On Wii, FIFA 13 is identical to last year’s FIFA 12.
Yes, the uniforms and players have been updated to match this year’s rosters, the website Nintendo Gamer reported. But otherwise, it’s a re-release of the same game with a new number on the box: The same gameplay modes, character models, graphics, menu screens, dialogue. And the same $50 price tag.
It doesn’t stop there: Other fans of the sport say that FIFA 13 on PlayStation Vita is essentially identical to FIFA Football, the game that Electronic Arts released six months prior, at the launch of the new Sony gaming handheld.
EA is selling old products to unsuspecting consumers at a premium price, and fans are confused and angry.
Tecnije i bolje od 12 ke, meni 12 nije legla. Online - ping pong, mnogo je brzo, posle 20 meceva vidis da je glavna fora zloupotreba L1 + trougao, odbrambeni se zabaguje i to svi koriste.
To sam i ja primetio... prosto kada ide takva visoka lopta u prostor moj odbrambeni igrac prosto zabaguje i uspori na 2-3 metra!
