Good morning football fans. Rom from EA here to let you know that a free FIFA 13 demo will be available across Europe later today. You’ll be able to play as Manchester City, Arsenal, Juventus, AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund, and experience EA Sports’ Football Club Match Day – a new feature that we think will drive the deepest and most meaningful connection yet between a videogame and the real world of sport.
FIFA 13 and the football season will be completely connected for the world’s top leagues. EA SPORTS Football Club Match Day will push real-world news ripped from the headlines around the world into FIFA 13. In the demo, real-world drama such as injuries, suspensions, team form, and media gossip surrounding Manchester City, Arsenal, Juventus, AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund will play out in-game and be reflected through in-game commentary.

Player form, displayed in detail within the team management screens, will change regularly, so if a striker is in a scoring purple patch in real life, or a keeper is leaking goals, this will be reflected in their in-game stats.
The full retail version of the game, due out on 28th September, will feature 30 leagues and 500 officially licensed teams, as well as all of our games modes – such as Career Mode, FIFA seasons, Pro Clubs, EA Sports Football Club, FIFA Ultimate Team and more.

Pre-order for FIFA 13 is now available from the PSN Store. Don’t be left sitting on the bench on the day of launch, download it now and have it ready and waiting for you for kick off later this month.

Could you please shed some light on the Vita version..? will it just be an update from the previous FIFA vita game ..? or will it be (almost) the same as the bigger console versions of the game..? and is there a demo or anything else coming for the Vita version.. ? It hits the shops in a short while, and we know almost NOTHING about that game on the Vita..

The demo is VERY impressive. I also second hanmik in wanting to know more about the Vita version. Will it be using the FIFA ’13 engine and features?
The demo is so good that anything less for Vita will be a huge disappointment. So please let us know.

Looks like this is a reoccurring issue regarding Vita games, not showing content on Vita versions even up to a week or two before release! sounds to me like all these publishers are embarrassed to show their Vita games, even though there is high interest and demand from owners wanting to know what there like..
Not showing games on a system so close to release just tells me there sub par, am I wrong?

@hanmik I’ve been asking EA for ages for my site, they have nothing to provide at this time. Threre isn’t even a Vita specific fact sheet.
The same for most wanted. But at least there is a couple of months for that, versus a couple of weeks…

I might buy these games if you didn’t keep shutting down the servers, when I buy a game that has copy and paste sequels every year I see no reason to keep buying them, yet the multiplayer gets shut down after only 2 years or so.
So you get nothing from me.

(little,lol.).
Come on guys, you’ve been reading the blog long enough to know that the bigger publishers don’t reply to our comments… though maybe someone in the blog may have some answers, noticed this was on US store yesterday, i wonder if there was a heads up on their blog, though i suppose 4 hours or so is better than nothing, off topic, i also seen a mw3 demo on US store, wonder if EU will get one, though it’s only 1st (part) sp mission, am looking forwards to later, just in case EU doesn’t get it, should be interesting if not. Anyway all you 4 handed fifa players, (its beyond me) i hope you’ll enjoy the demo l8r.

Can you please clarify the benefits of the EA Season pass with regards Fifa 13. Is it just Ultimate Team packs or will there be more? I’ve already pre-ordered Fifa 13:Ultimate Edition so would like to know how much benefit I’d get from Season Pass to justify a further £20

Tried this yesterday on xbox. This franchise really is money for old rope. I can hardly tell the difference in game play from fifa 12. This update could easily be £10 worth of DLC. They trully have now run out of ideas…

Well, here starts the cycle of another year of having my friends obsess over FIFA and CoD. Not that there is anything wrong with these games, but these are the only 2 games my friends play.
Hope you all enjoy the demo.

I know what you mean, the days when I considered myself capable to handle a football sim are part of dark ancient times (90s).
Oh well, I’ll have my football fix via the Football Manager as usual.
@OT
Is Romily a common name? Don’t think I’ve ever seen that name before.

Hey Rom I have been looking for weeks to see if there will be a Vita demo not getting any joy from anywhere?
Can you tell us if there will be one?

Hi all. Rom here. The demo should be propped on PSN now. Hope you’re all enjoying it. I’ll see if I can get to some of the questions above now…
32
Posted on 12 September, 2012 at 6:38 pm by RombroPS
In terms of the PS Vita game. Yeah, I know. It does tend to get drowned out by the full game release somewhat. I’m going to see if I can get a producer up around my desk at some point today help talk about that stuff.

Legends in Ultimate Team – no, nothing like. We like being as authentic as possible with FUT.

Legends in FIFA Ultimate Team? No, that’s not for us. We like to be as authentic as we can with FUT.

Double post. Sorry. Posts aren’t reflecting in the comments immediately it would appear.
Anyway. On to Season Ticket. Here’s what you get with that:
- Play the game at least three days early. Season Ticket early release is the same date globally, while the game’s actual release date varies depending on where you are. That works out nicely for Europeans, who actually get to play FIFA 13 a full six days early – from 22 Sept.
- 20% off all DLC, including FUT packs. So this is a good deal for anyone who already knows they’ll buy more than a certain amount of FUT packs over the course of the next year.
- For FIFA 13, getting a Season Ticket also bags you an additional 24 gold FUT packs. If you get Season Ticket AND the Ultimate Edition, that means 48 gold packs over the season. Each offer delivers you one gold pack per week. So, if you’ve got both those, you get two packs dropped into your account per week.

Is Romily a common name? Well, no, I guess it’s not. It is, however, English. Old English. I think.
I dunno. What I do know, though, is that it became very popular as a name for girls in the USA during the 1990s. This is not a good thing.

@ RombroPS/Romilly.
Well thnx you made me look a right one, ie ‘these big publishers Don’t reply’, anyway am glad you have proven their IS a exception to this rule.
Looking at your post regards the Season Pass, i must say, this is either excellent strategy from ur sales dept or very good luck for ppl (in EU) who are going digital. As i mentioned b4 i am, well basically crap at this ‘genre’, lol, i even txt+type on keyboard one digit a time, so this game is way beyond me, and of All the games out there this one is what i want to be ‘able’ to play.
So, i will be picking up the Ultimate ed, with Addidas team, (Game/station exclusive) But after reading about Season Pass i will be getting the Digital/Season Pass 1st, IF (please answer anyone) i can use the Ultimates dlc codes (?) with Digital, Then obviously i’d trade disc back, 1st day, IS this possible ?,
btw i am getting it for someone etc, so Any replies will be appreciated, thnx.
