re: Anyone on the SB going to get FIFA 13 at the midnight release tonight?

The sliders I use make the game less frustrating, especially on the highest difficulties. Mainly AI marking for both sides, meaning that the guys off the ball don't go braindead and get face cut every play.

Also tweaking game speed and the speed/acceleration sliders for both user and the CPU help.

Started a MM with Plymouth Argyle. Did you know that Plymouth is the largest city in England that's never had a top-flight team? (250,000 folks in the southernmost and easternmost city on the isle.) I'm about to change that.

Sold a bunch of players, invested in a 3* scout. Lost three out of my first five matches, now I'm on a tear, winners of six out of the last seven (drew the other match). I sim every match against bottom half teams, hence the 12 match amount I've already gone through since yesterday.
