FIFA 13 Trailer Looks Suspiciously Like FIFA 12
Perhaps the best of the new features, and certainly the most wanted, is the new first-touch system. Too often have world-class players had the touch and turn of a wrecking ball, easily defended against by even the most basic of defenders. If the new first-touch system is as dynamic as it could be (hopefully instigated by the right-stick) then the potential for a (finally) fluid game of football. Now, players like Rafael Van der Vaart, for whom first-touch is everything, can finally express themselves in a way un-seen so far in FIFA, a game always dominated by pace rather than intelligence. As unimpressive as the trailer really is, the potential improvements could genuinely improve the experience (or, just as likely, be entirely un-noticeable). Although it's more of a case of same-old-same-old, the same-old was already pretty good anyway.
