FIFA 13: 7 Small Details EA Got Right And 3 They Got Wrong

by Joseph Dempsey

1. Trophy Celebrations Are Abysmal Okay, so you have just reached the end of a long, arduous career mode, and you have finished top of the league! Excellent! Well done. Now it's time to watch a well deserved cut scene of your players lifting the trophy in the air, as fireworks shoot off left right and centre whilst the crowd is in ecstasy and the commentators are recapping how you won the title. http://youtu.be/1uS3hAW8SHM Wait a minute, what's this? Where's the commentary? Why are the crowd so subdued and uninterested? And why are the animations full of superfluous, pointless scenes of your team sliding onto their stomachs and applauding when in reality they should be stood on a podium, collecting their medals, popping open champagne bottles before lifting the trophy? Okay, we do get to see our team lift the trophy, for like a second, but the point still stands. When I win the league, I want to see more than just a few half-hearted scenes of posturing. The trophy celebrations in 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa were amazing, and it is ridiculous that EA haven't replicated the below scenes into a FIFA game yet. http://youtu.be/1SCr9LLPYL0 It is small things like this that EA need to be getting right in FIFA '14. It might not seem like much, but it could mean the difference between a great game and a brilliant game. What do you thin FIFA fans? Do you agree with the points above? Share your thoughts below. FIFA 13 is out now.
