Goodison looks lovely.

[METALMAN]

Better than Anfield

Nou Camp **NEW!!!!!!!**

No doubt it's the same model as a few years ago when they had the licence for it, mind.

Still, not as bad as one of PES's "NEW" features, with the inclusion of a League mode for 2014.

[Nerf]

Heard the demo isn't out for PS3 until 1-3am UK time. Anyone know if that's true or not? I was itching to give it a go today.

[Baddar]

I think the Store updates this evening at around 5 or 6, so you should be ok.

When's it out on Xbox? Had a look about an hour ago and couldn't find it.

[Nerf]

Misleading information everywhere. From what I gather, PC demo is already out, X-Box is anywhere between 10am and 2pm, and PS3 isn't until the wee hours of the morning.

Great, will give me something to do once I get back from the fracture clinic.

[King Ellis]

I thought the EU PSN didn't update will like Weds or Thurs afternoon?

[Nerf]

Pretty sure EA have confirmed it will be on EU PSN between 1am and 3am tonight/tomorrow morning.

[Baddar]

I figured it updated on Tuesday's (at least, it used to...?). Sooorrrrrry.

[Nerf]

Demo is up on PSN now, just thought I'd randomly check before shutting down. Nice surprise.

[brenchill]

But will there be a separate thread for The Dragons?

That's the most important question when it comes to a new FIFA release.

[Baddar]

There already is one.

[9 to 5]

Finesse shooting is back to 12 standards. :/

[Summers]

Could just be for demo purposes?

[Chris2K]

I noticed the same thing about the shooting which was a bit disappointing. The players seem to move a bit more naturally now, there's not as much video-gamey sudden changes of direction, nobody does a 180 without at least a slight reaction delay now.

Had a fun couple of hours on the demo. My thoughts:

- It plays more like FIFA '10 than FIFA '13. I'm not sure if I like it or not. Perhaps I just need to get used to the physics engine.

- Barcelona are absolutely fucking gorgeous. Can't wait to see the Liverpool renders.

- Passing seems a little bit more tedious than it has been before. Again, maybe I need to get used to it.

- The menus are absolutely swish. Massive improvement.

- Shooting feels very foreign, but I scored a couple of beautiful long range goals and, they're right, you feel a lot more satisfaction after pulling them off.

- AI is much improved. Very intelligent runs, no more overly stupid decision making. Good stuff.

The demo just reminds me how much I hate playing against the CPU on FIFA.

[Summers]

Demo feels arcadey and shit tbh.
