FIFA 13 menu system confusionTowards the end of September football/soccer fans will be able to get their hands on the much-anticipated FIFA 13, and what’s also good about this release is that those with the upcoming iPhone 5 will also be able to get their hands on the new game from EA thanks to the upcoming iOS app. In the past we have covered a number of topics in regards to this game, with most of them being of the positive nature, but it’s been pointed out that there is an issue with the menu system, because for certain gamers there could be some confusion.
Now that it’s only a matter of weeks before FIFA 13 is released it comes as no surprise that certain journalists will get some hands-on time with the game, and it’s clear to see that there are a number of innovations with the game – although not as many as fans of the franchise had hoped. In a recent preview of the game it was pointed out that the menu system might cause some confusion, but we have to wonder if this is because the reviewer was not used to the FIFA series? On a positive note though the reviewer did find the control system very easy to pick up.
These findings don’t come as any surprise to us because if you are new to a game franchise then it will take you sometime to pick up the likes of the menu system, but this could be a negative for the game because surely it would be far better for a newcomer to be able to jump right into FIFA 13 instead of wasting time trying to pick the easy part of the game up?
While it’s so easy to fall into the trap and pick up on the negative parts of an upcoming game, it’s the positives that will help to sell FIFA 13 – although the game will be able to sell itself. However, we can’t help ourselves and feel the need to point out some of those good points, and one new feature that will be very welcome is the 32 skill games you can compete in. What we like about this feature is how it will help improve your skills, which in turn will help you throughout the main part of the game.
FIFA 13 has not made the huge leap in innovation that we had hoped and there is a chance that PES 2013 could close the gap – well only a little – but it’s clear to see that they have still raised the bar. However, we can’t help but feel as though there are still a few missing features, such as women players and South American Leagues.
