NowGamer: It's the biggest launch of the year so far but it also seems to be suffering a record number of bugs and glitches for the series.
NowGamer looks at what has gone wrong for FIFA 13 and lists some workarounds for the issues the sports title is having.
EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!
cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla
The free-to-play reboot topped 15 million players in under three weeks, but EA now claims it needs to reshape the development team.
The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result
It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
The Congressional Labor Caucus sent a letter to the FTC warning the debt-financed, largely PIF-owned deal could be bad news for workers
lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6
Wait,
The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.
NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.
EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
.... it seems they don't care that much about quality control anymore before releasing the game.
Personally, I'm much more annoyed by the cheating AI, when playing against the CPU, on the higher difficulty levels, meaning scripted matches.
unlucky number 13 for EA. surprisingly, for Konami it worked wonders... i'm picking up PES13.
EA release Fifa in a certain time frame (usually last week of September) and will continue to release it then regardless of quality. I remember in Fifa 11 I think it was.. after the first week, someone made a list of over 50 bugs in career mode alone.
It runs fine on the Xbox 360. This issue is only for the PC version.
PES13 has been awesome thus far, and I haven't touched the series since PES4 (best football game of all time hands down).
Fifa 08 through FIFA 12 has been the best this generation by far.. I don't think EA changed much at all this time around. It's classic EA really. So keen for a cash in.
