Do you spend all day chatting on social media? Why not get paid for it and do it for one of the biggest game franchises in the world? EA SPORTS FIFA are hiring a Conversation Specialist and they’re looking for someone who’ll be responsible for engaging FIFA fans across all of their social media and digital channels.
The pick of this weeks FUT TOTW (6th Feb) features Milan’s Mario Balotelli who after scoring twice on his debut for his new club at the weekend finds himself at the centre of attention again as AC Milan’s Vice President Paulo Berlusconi Jnr whips up a racism storm calling their new signing ‘the family’s little n*****’
Sometimes a couple of yards of space is all you need in FIFA 13 to create a goal scoring chance or gain the upper hand on your opponent but against containing defenders sometimes a couple of yards of space isn’t that easy to come by. Darren Cross from Match magazine comes to The Boot Room again, this time to show us how he loses markers in FIFA 13 and creates that all important space on the pitch.
Good news for hardcore Ultimate Team fans. EA Sports have released a new set of Ultimate Team Youth Players into the FUT marketplace.
The youth players released reside in several leagues but the majority of them ply their trade in the Barclays Premiership.
Notable players include Andre Wisdom, Liverpool’s promising young right back who broke into the first team this year and Milan’s striker M’Baye Niang who’s been touted as the next Balotelli regarding his exploits in his personal life.
This week on GWRomg, internationally renowned, funny, black man, KSIOlajidebt attempted to break the world record for the largest score margin against the AI in one match of FIFA 13.
KSI (as he’s known to his army of fans mainly due to his ridiculously difficult to pronounce full alias) had to score at least 110 goals in front of an extremely tastefully dressed judge in order to qualify for Guinness World Record Title.
The rules were completely open so KSI could pick any difficulty, any teams, any match length and also adjust in game sliders.
So did KSI break the Guinness World record or did he come up short? Forget you’ve already read the title to this post and watch the video to find out!
As EA divulge that FIFA 13 has sold over 12 million copies worldwide (23% more than FIFA 12 at this point last year) they reveal that work is already underway on FIFA 14 for the next generation of consoles, the Sony PlayStation 4 and the new Xbox (some rumours call it the Xbox 720, some call it the Xbox 8 but most reliable sources seem to agree that it’ll just be called “Xbox”).
Following on from and in stark contrast to our pace revolution series we know that there’s plenty of you Ultimate Team players out there that love to use fast players. And why wouldn’t you? They arguably get you the quickest results! (Pardon the pun…)
Well, these guys are the fastest players in FIFA 13 Ultimate Team.
Whether you play a quick counter attacking style going forward or want to counteract you opponents fastest players in defence, these are the players that will get the job done.
This list is all about raw, unadulterated pace. No frills, no bells and certainly no whistles, just blisteringly fast players that are usually viewed from behind through a wake of dust.
This list contains all versions of the player including In Form and Team Of The Year players.
In this installment we feature the Top Pace Belgium Abuse Players in FIFA 13. It’s separated into 3 groups of Gold, Silver, and Bronze players and each group is a mix of Belgian nationals and non-Belgians playing in the Jupiler League.
Match Magazine’s Darren Cross talks FIFA 13 tactics once again with Matt Cuttle in another episode of The Boot Room.
This time it’s all about taking your thumb off the buttons and using the right thumbstick.
The right thumbstick is mainly associated with skills but when used without the left trigger can turn your first touch into a stroke of genius.
Using the left thumbstick can take you past defenders, create time and space and also be used to beat goalkeepers.
Check out the FIFA 13 Tactics video to find out how and when to use it.
It’s no doubt that FIFA 13 is an amazing game. But who’s out there that’s going to push it to it’s limits? In a year that could see us move into the next generation of gaming we look to see if FIFA really does have any competitors out there to take it to the next level.
Want a cheaper, faster way to put together a fast, effective team? Try players from the Saudi League. Because it’s a relatively unknown and unpopular league (FIFA13 is the first time it’s appeared in the game), decent players can be found for cheap.
When I first listened to The FIFA 13 Song it was as though the lyrics had been taken straight from my head. FIFA’s a game that makes emotions run high and that what makes it great but can also make it frustrating as hell.
The song’s produced by TwoSync. You’ll know them better as Chris, RaiderGames and Mat, iDuel2010 and in their own words:
We are two brothers who enjoy making music and videos together. What is our aim? To entertain as many people as possible. We write our music and make our videos solely out of our own enjoyment, and love to interact with people who enjoy watching them.
Back in 2010 when JJ Olajide started making FIFA tricks and skills videos under the pseudonym @KSIOlajidebt I said to my wife,
“If this kid plays his cards right, one day he’ll get to play FIFA against Rio Ferdinand wearing a purple, velour pimp suit”.
Despite my wife’s disdain, low and behold the prophesy came true and KSI did indeed meet Rio Ferdinand for an intense FIFA 13 duel.
The FIFA 13 TOTY is finally available in packs and you can check out the upgraded ratings and dates they are in packs below.
The FIFA/FIFPro World XI for 2012 was voted for by over 50,000 FIFPro professional players and the winners were announced during a glitzy awards ceremony yesterday.
The following players made 2012′s World XI and will also for FIFA 13′s TOTY (Team of the Year) meaning you’ll be able to get your hands on greatly updgraded in form versions of the players (if you’re lucky enough or and Ultimate Team high roller!)
We’ll update the ratings and times as they become available but we expect defenders, midfielders and forwards to be available in packs for 2 days at a time.
The Ballon d’Or ceremony is tonight and that means that the most exciting in form players all year will be released on Ultimate Team in the form of the FIFA 13 Team Of The Year (TOTY).
EA Sports FIFA’s frontman Lionel Messi is favourite to pick up the Ballon d’Or award for a record forth year in a row with Barcelona team-mate Iniesta and Real Madrid’s Ronaldo close behind.
It’s the FIFA World XI that we’re all really interested though as each of the players chosen will receive their highest rated in form Ultimate Team card to date and not only be a beast on the pitch but also worth a fortune in the transfer market!
Christmas has been and gone and the New Year brings new players to the FIFA scene so I thought I’d start the new year by going back to basics and listing 8 fundamental FIFA 13 tips that will instantly up your game if you’re not doing them already.
Applying these FIFA 13 tips is probably the easiest way to improve your play.
A lot of people that have watched some of my videos have asked about my controller setting and what’s the best setup to give you the competitive edge in FIFA 13. So I put together this video to show you the controller settings I use that give me the most control I can get but still be competitive at the highest level of FIFA.
Pro goalkeepers have often been accused as overpowered but in FIFA 13 they’re beatable from range. This tutorial will show you the best way to score past pro keepers from distance.
This FIFA 13 heading tutorial breaks winning headers down into 3 steps and also provides a few quick tips that some people might not be aware of.
If you finish in style you’re going to want to celebrate in style. Now you can learn the controls to all the FIFA 13 Celebrations and do just that.
I don’t know about you but I do the same celebration every single time I score because I invariably waggle the stick and bash the buttons in the same seemingly random pattern.
The result is the same slide across the pitch on my knees which was probably good the first time I saw it. After the hundredth time though it becomes a bit mundane and each time I do it I’m cursing the fact that once again I forgot to try something different.
Watch the full EA press conference including details regarding next generation FIFA 14 at E3. Does FIFA 14 on the Xbox One and PS4 take virtual football to the next level or is it more of the same? Let us know what you think!
FIFA 14 is still nearly four months away but EA have released this gameplay trailer, more information about the key features that are being introduced and the official FIFA 14 release dates for both Europe and the US.
US residents will be able to get their hands on the game slightly earlier this year on 24th September whilst their Europe dwelling counterparts will have to wait until 27th September 2013.
You’ve probably seen the messages around various social media streams, “Ultimate Team is only available on Xbox ONE!” To alleviate any doubt in your mind we can tell you that this IS NOT TRUE.
EA have confirmed that like previous years Ultimate Team will be available on PS4, PC and Xbox One (as well as Xbox 360 and PS3).
The Xbox One Reveal last week exposed more than just Microsoft’s all singing, all dancing, living room in a box. It also brought us news that EA has developed EA SPORTS IGNITE, their new engine that will make their games “come alive”!
