FIFA Soccer 13

This version debuts First Touch Control as a way to make fluid attacking moves less predictable. It takes the players' individual statistics and the situation (based on movement, position and pressure) into account to determine how well control and actions are performed. There are more options to dribble and the system for computer-controlled players offering support for offensive conversions has been improved. New to the series is the Skill Games mode. It consists of 32 minigames based around disciplines such as shooting, passing, dribbling etc. They only last a few minutes and come with three difficulty levels based on medals. They can be played alone or with another player hopping in, for instance to take control of the keeper.

This is the first version in the series to support the Xbox 360 and Move (PS3) peripherals. The Xbox 360 offers additional options based on voice while the regular controller is still used to play. Voice commands are used to switch tactics and motivational phrases can be mapped. The "substitute" voice command launches a menu in the corner where the players to swap can be chosen. For Move motion control is introduced. The wand guides players around the pitch and by pointing the passing direction can be determined.
