Last year, FIFA took leaps and bounds to become in my opinion the best soccer game on the market, overtaking their close rivals, Pro Evo, by miles. The gameplay is unrivaled by any other soccer game with its advanced impact engine and new tackling system. So what can FIFA bring to the table this year to keep fans happy? It’s bad news for defenders and lower league players. EA Sports is ramping up the realism in its game, which will see the players act in a more authentic manner than ever before. No longer can a defender in League One take the ball down like Lionel Messi and play a lovely cushioned pass to a nearby player. Now the ball will whack off the shin, get away from you with a poor first touch or just generally run away from a player with bad control if you try anything too fancy. So if you are a Leicester City defender, for example, your skills have been toned down so you don’t play like the best in the business."
Games Asylum: "Outdated football games are a common sight when scouring jumble sales, car boots and charity shops for bargain price video games. Entire shelves filled with decade-old FIFA and PES games spread across a dozen formats. Often they end up in bargain bins, sitting alongside unwanted celebrity fitness DVDs and seemingly random TV show box sets. But here’s the thing. Not all football games gathering dust in the likes of Oxfam are in fact worthless."
Just who is buying FIFA 13 on Wii U? We may never know, but there are more people buying that than there are Bayonetta 2 and Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric.
Sonic Boom is riding off the popularity of the TV show; it's a bad game.
And as for FIFA?
Well, guess that goes to show that there's a lot of older gamers on Wii U that wanted FIFA, then; sports games generally do out-sell action games, and Platinum isn't known for large sales in the first place.
I'm not worried for Bayonetta. It'll hit that 1M mark by the middle of next year, surely, at its current pace.
are seriously trying to downplay Bayonetta 2 with sales
