OK, I still don't see how that makes Fifa games as different as shooters are from each other. Fifa 13 offered bug fixes and physics change. In shooters we have actual variety. There's Deus Ex, there's Call of Duty, there's Halo, there's Borderlands There's S.T.A.L.K.E.R.razer17 said:To start with, I was being a little facetious when comparing it to shooters or RTS' games, but I was just trying to make a point.Yopaz said:Since you are so wise here, can you explain me what changes there are in Fifa 13 compared to Fifa 12? Yes, all shooter games contain shooting. However from what I can assume about Fifa 13 is that there's some mild tweaks in graphics and maybe some in gameplay, maybe introduce new players (I know one game introduced long retired players as a tribute). However the rules are the same, there are no new maps since all football fields have to be 68x105 meters.
It's popular just like Call of Duty, but just like Call of Duty there's hardly any changes. At least Call of Duty offers a new story with the game.
I'm not trying to argue here, I'm just curious because as I see it Fifa 13 is little more than a game where you play football.
Anyway, although the rules of football, and therefore the basics of FIFA, never really change, it's about the underlying mechanics. I'm not going to say that FIFA changes drastically every year, some years very little changes (this was especially true in the mid 00's, around 2004-2007) but other years the changes are huge. For instance, as someone who played a lot of Fifa 11, the jump to 12 was incredible. The game essentially played entirely differently, the physics were completely different, the way you defended had changed. Now massive changes like that didn't come without some bugs and unforseen problems.
Fifa 13 fixes a lot of the problems that 12 had, then fine tuned a lot of aspects on the gameplay, and made some additions of its own, better attacking AI, a more realistic physics engine that makes a real difference to how the game plays. If you're someone who never plays football games you probably wouldn't realise how much of a differnece some iterations actually make.
All that said, I always play the demos before buying the full game, because sometimes there really isn't much difference apart from a player update. I won't buy a new Fifa if it doesn't make some actual improvements.

Don't let the kung-fu panda part fool you, it's the better expansion
Not that Id blame you for never going back to an mmo again
Still since Ive played both, GW2 was probably better than the cataclysm expansion but objectively Wow is still the better game and for more reasons than just 'it's making the most money' and that doesn't happen for no reason

Fifa games improve and change, but calling people ignorant for generalizing them then making an even bigger generalization yourself just makes you look bad.
When you start calling out Call of Duty as the example then everyone agrees with you. The Zero Punctuation of Battlefield 3 And Modern Warfare 3 wasn't too different from this one. Most people on this site who comes with snarky comments about Fifa will say much the same about Call of Duty. That doesn't make the changes in every Fifa game any grander. It's still much the same as the last and enjoyable for those who like the series. For those who don't it's just the same as the previous. I have played a little of the different Fifa installments and a little of all the Call of Duty installments. Neither of the series seem to introduce anything strikingly new.razer17 said:Okay, I apologise for the way I started, I was annoyed and that clearly showed.Yopaz said:OK, I still don't see how that makes Fifa games as different as shooters are from each other.

Look at it this way: Every year Call of Duty releases a new game, and what has changed? The story and the maps. That's kind of superficial in a way, because it doesn't change the way the game plays. In FIFA they don't change the story or the maps (because there aren't any), but they do change the physics and the mechanisms. That might not sound a lot, but in a football game some of these changes can drastically differ the way the game is played. In a shooter adding realistic physics looks good, but doesn't really DO anything. In FIFA these physics changes make a huge impact.
Yes, it's still 11 v 11 kicking a sphere, but it plays a lot differently. It's hard to explain to someone who doesn't play them, so I'm going to simplify: Fifa 11 to Fifa 12 was like going from CoD 3 to CoD 4 in terms of gameplay change.
