Ultimate Team

Ultimate team this year will incorporate career mode into it. The Web App is to be released for returning gamers to access early on 18th September 2012.

Reception

IGN gave FIFA 13 a 9/10.[28] Bleacher Report reported that Barcelona was the most entertaining team to use on FIFA 13.[29] OXM reported that the seven biggest flaws of FIFA 12 were, for the most part, fixed in FIFA 13.[30] The Nintendo Wii version however received a scathing review from ONM, who stated that the game was a "shamefully cynical 'update' that brings absolutely nothing new to the table", giving the game a 30% rating.[31]
