When you download the FIFA 13 Dream Draw gamerpic from the Xbox Marketplace and then purchase FIFA Points in Ultimate Team you'll be entered into the dream draw to win a fantastic day out at a Premier League football match!
On 11th January 2013 the FIFA 11 online servers will be shut down for good. EA retire the online services of games when the number of players is fewer than 1% of all peak online players across all EA titles.
FIFA 11 brought us Personality Plus (where stars took on the emotions and mannerisms of their real life counterparts), a revamped Career Mode that let us play as just your Pro, as a manager or as player manager, Creation Centre and co-op celebrations.
It was also the first FIFA that let you play "Be A Goalie" allowing for true 11 vs 11 gameplay in Pro Clubs. (Some argue even today that FIFA 11 was still the most enjoyable FIFA for Pro Clubs).
To celebrate Messi breaking Gerd Mueller's 40-year-old record of an amazing 85 goals for club and country in a calendar year EASPORTS have released an inform Messi 86 Ultimate Team card.
They're also giving you the chance to win one of 3 "86 Messi" items by re-tweeting @EASPORTSFIFA's tweet below including the hash-tag #86MessiFUT.
Wow, Christmas has come around fast! And that usually means it's round 2 of FIFA topping the UK sales charts.

Forget the gameplay, the graphics or the AI, new boots are where it's at. And this week there's been some new boots added to FIFA 13!
Second only to hairstyles in the "Most talked about" subject in FIFA, football boots in FIFA 13 get an unusually high amount of attention.
Maybe it's because if you look good you'll play with more confidence on the pitch, maybe it's because you don't want them to clash with your handbag.
Whatever the reason, for all you football fashionistas out there, here's the new boots added to FIFA 13 this week. (Oh, and there's a ball too...)
As Christmas looms, EA SPORTS reveal the launch of an exclusive FIFA 13 Bonus Edition.
The FIFA 13 Bonus edition will come with 2200 FIFA Points that you’ll instantly be able to redeem to purchase FIFA Ultimate Team packs (up to 22 gold packs) although wise FIFA gamers will save them for Happy Hour!
The Wii U makes it's way to our shop shelves in plenty of time for Christmas and along with it comes EA SPORTS FIFA 13.
FIFA 13 on the Wii U boasts "new ways to play" taking advantage of the Nintendo handheld's motion controls including:
Lift and Look - lift the Wii U up and get a view from a different perspective during set pieces for example.
Point and Pass - point to where you want to play the ball.
Tap and Tackle - time your moment and tap the screen to make the tackle.
Shake and Shoot - shake the Wii U to take a shot. (We're not quite sure how the aiming works with this one...)
Does your controller have bite marks in it? Is your bedroom wall full of head-shaped holes?
Do you run down the street naked throwing things at your neighbours screaming, “It’s &%$#ing scripted!”? (…just me?)
If so then this piece of advice is going to improve your enjoyment of FIFA 13 around a million percent.
Have you managed to get to grips with the new range of free kicks available to us in FIFA 13? Don't worry, you're not alone.

In this FIFA 13 custom free kicks tutorial learn how to take 3 custom free kicks in different areas around the penalty area with a 99% success rate!

He share's tips on how to make your defence less vunerable and emphasises the importance of keeping your team's shape and staying goal side to slow down your opponent's attack.
Ever bought a player that you thought was going to be great based on their overall (OVR) FUT rating but turned out to be a flop on the pitch? We all know that FUT's overall rating can be a bit misleading at times so who are really the best players in FIFA 13 Ultimate Team?
Use the Z Rating to find out!
I found the overall rating system FIFA used was a little misleading sometimes, and that players were "praised" for having a high attribute rating for things that weren't important for their position. This made it difficult to find the true best players in FIFA 13 Ultimate Team.
Reiterating their promises in their recent letter to BBC's Watchdog, EA SPORTS have released another FIFA 13 major update all the details of which can be found below.
The FIFA 13 patch is live and availabe to download for PC players but PS3 and Xbox 360 console players will have to wait a little longer due to EA SPORTS needed to role out console updates via Sony and Microsoft respectively.
EA SPORTS have made an official response to the recent report on FIFA 13 on Watchdog.
The BBC consumer affairs program, Watchdog, followed up on a number of complaints of bugs in EA SPORTS' flagship game including grievances from 14 year old Semir from Suffolk regarding occurrences of an invisible ball and invisible players making the game "rather frustrating".
