Yeah it does =)

Yes!

And I hope there isn't something at the end of the game, like in the NHL 11 demo where you had to view a 4 minutes video of the stanley cup winner. I always had to quit the game just before the end of the game.

What the heck is this supposed to mean?

Once again, we have another comment that makes absolutely no sense.

The US cares very little about football except the World Cup. Why would EA Sports and Peter Moore (a diehard Liverpool fan) focus on making a football game tailored to American citizens when they don't care about the sport.

Yes...I'm American and I know many other Americans who do enjoy the game. I've probably spent more time watching, studying, refereeing, playing, and coaching football than most have playing the video games in their lifetime. I take great offense at your attempt to paint us as footballing noobs or some type of degradation to the sport.

Stop using "Americanized" as some type of default scapegoat argument. The mere fact that the FIFA sells the most outside of America is proof that you failed to use your brain before making that comment.

If this game was "Americanized," Brett Favre would be on the cover because the majority of the country still prefer that sport.

I can understand the need to shut down servers. But doing it for games that only came out last year is a bit ridiculous.

I normally try and defend EA on here because I don't think they are as bad as many people make them out to be but but this would annoy me if I owned any of these games.

They're probably following 2k's lead. 2k has already shut down nba 2k12 servers. Which means the average life expectancy u can get from playing nba 2k13 (if u were to buy it now) would be about 10 months. Don't expect to play online longer than that. That means there product is a NO buy for me. If they offered LAN option on the pc side u could always use Tunngle to play online, but they don't so there's no way to play online.
