Can't stick around for long, my bins are outside and getting buried alive, I will be mounting a rescue attempt shortly, if I don't come back tell my family I love them.

Keep track of the SNOW CHAOS! in Southampton live on the Daily Echo website...

So he did make a 100% illegal pass... but the nature of the pass (TR lifting) would mean a penalty would be very harsh.

I thought they were just slippery surface flags, not yellows. At least that's what I read on Twitter after the race. It would make sense considering the section it was in is prone to having rivers of water going across the track.

That Red Bull is seriously strong, in comparison the Mclaren falls apart with the slightest touch.

Massa was the best driver out there today, the commentators haven't given him enough credit for his part in helping Alonso onto the podium.

Mark Clattenburg is normally one of the better refs, but he had a shocker today. Chelsea didn't deserve either of their red cards, Young dived and got a player sent off yet again, but because he's English he gets away with it.

Now Chelsea are claiming the ref used racist language towards their players...

Quote from Bmxtwins :

Your way better than i am, how do you shoot so accurately woth highpower

It's mostly timing and luck, but on Ultimate Team the stats are boosted anyway, so it's much easier than it is on any other game mode.

Scored this on Ultimate Team...

...I find that a low rated team is best, the handicap is even worse in this than it was in FIFA 12, to the point where a decent Silver team can destroy a very high rated Gold team. Also 5-2-2-1 is a good solid formation if you want to sweat it out for wins.

Design of the car worked out quite well there, I expected it to roll instead of sliding on its side.

Is that the time?! I'm late!

Quote from Mysho :

Is this game worth 199€, the current price of Xbox360 here?

Not on its own, but if you get Forza 4 and Halo 4 at the same time it might be worth it.

The game is beautiful, and the soundtrack is immense. I just wish it was out now, I will only have a few days to play it when it comes out because I'm off to the states for 2 weeks. :sadbanana

Quote from The Very End :

Someone tried the game yet?? I am struggeling with performance on my new computer :/

The actual game had issues when I first tried to load it, but the Splat Pack loaded fine, it's exactly how I remember it too.

Nothing like getting home from a long day at work to find an email containing my free code for the Carmageddon Max Pack.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

But it's far from that in reality.. not everyone is cool and calm in those situations.

Yeh but the striker is usually expected to score, if they don't then either the keeper made a good save or they messed up the chance.

Quote from Mustangman759 :

comes tuesday

Not in the UK, our games are always released on Friday, so we would have to wait until the 28th. I wish we got our games on Tuesdays though, because our postal service is terrible, even when I pay extra to make sure I get a game on launch day it ends up coming after the weekend.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

And that's the beauty of FIFA eh, in every situation against a keeper everyone is Messi..

Any 1 on 1 situation should favour the striker, and now that Goalkeeping is even harder in FIFA13 it's only going to get easier for the striker. In FIFA12 you held 2 buttons and the work was done for you, and you could never be sent off, but people still sucked at it.

Quote from Mustangman759 :

Doesnt matter if your a skilled gk youll know what to do

I can count the number of skilled keepers I've played against in my hundreds of club games on 1 finger. A skilled striker will always beat a skilled keeper, the only thing that leveled the playing field was the magic assist button, now that keepers can get sent off and they've improved the chip shots it's going to be even harder.

If you want my advice, use an ANY and don't use a goalkeeper. Pro goalkeepers don't have the magic "save everything" button in FIFA13. I would join in but I'm on xbox, and already have a team of people I play with.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Dat quality, killed my youtube

One day I will get partnership so people can watch my videos in high quality without it taking 10 hours to buffer the bloody things.

I made a little montage of goals I got while playing the demo...

...I will be getting the Season Ticket so I get the game this saturday, which means I should have a few videos out by the launch date.

Quote from jrd.racer :

What controller do you use Silver?

I play on xbox, and I use the silver xbox pad. But I have a wired xbox pad for my PC too, so I would use that for the PC version.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

I just can't, honestly i try it every year.. The feeling is just so wrong.

I think it was easier for me to get used to FIFA, because I made the switch when the quality of FIFA was miles ahead of the crap PES was coming up with. The last PES game I played properly was 6, but the last good PES game I played was 4.

You should really make an effort with 13 though, it's by far the best football game I've ever played.

EDIT: I have some ambitious plans for my videos this time, I want to do an Ultimate Team, Manager Mode and Pro Clubs series, getting the season ticket so I get it 3 days early too. Oh and I have a demo goal montage in the works, so cracking goals so far.

I was ill the day the demo came out, and still played it until the early hours of the morning, the result was being bed ridden for 2 days. I urge even die hard PES fans to try it (speaking as an old PES fanboy), because the game flows so much better than FIFA 12, it feels less clunky and scripted, hell it's even fun to play against the computer!
