Fulfilling them will help you increase the rating of your pro, and move forward in the game. The mode will now have ‘League Objectives’ and ‘Upcoming Targets’ where you will find your objectives for the season and weekly tasks as well. You start as a fringe player, rated oddly around the mid-sixties. You can move to a new club mid-season which adds another feather to the ‘Reality Tab’ of the game.

The Game AI has been kept the same, which isn’t really bad because it is quite user friendly, although there is a new section called ‘My Actions’ where you could take care of all your negotiations, and even request a transfer or loan if you want. What has been a letdown was that EA really didn’t care to add new features to the ‘Edit your Pro’ section, where Konami’s PES title offers a lot of options on the other hand. While starting a new game, you can choose either to create your own pro or use a real player.

You can opt to play just as your Pro, or control the whole team during matches. To be quite honest, I was so moved by the mode, which I used to prepare speeches for hypothetical press conferences, not that the mode has yet. There is this long-term satisfaction to be a player going through the system, going to loan to smaller clubs for first team football, and making a name for you, eventually becoming a legend. Moving on to the ‘Be a Pro’ mode, this time it is far more convincing and realistic, unlike the previous version of the game, which greatly lacked appeal in my opinion. You will have two modes, one is the obvious ‘Management’ mode and the other would be ‘Be a Pro’, where you can retire after a while and continue as a Manager.

Offline mode has two game modes this time, unlike the previous game which had a Player-Manager mode as well. The Menu interface has been upgraded, not completely altered. They got a classic Leo Messi clip this time, instead of the usual ‘Rooney screaming after scoring’ poster, which is really nice. The game starts with the cliché, but legendary ‘EA Sports… It’s in a Game!’ jingle. Just a heads up, the game was tested on a SAMSUNG NP550P5C Series 5 Laptop, with Third Generation Intel ® Core™ i5 Processor 2.50 GHz, 6GB of Memory and a NVIDIA GT 650 2GB DDR3 graphics processor card.

Here, we will be reviewing a part of the offline game-mode, precisely the ‘Be A Pro’ section. More realistic, much deeper and offering longevity, Fifa 13 is almost similar to that of the franchise’s previous release Fifa 12, but along with several tweaks, better graphics and it offers a relatively well rounded understanding of the beautiful game of football for a video game.
