FIFA 13 Will Actually Be Able To Tell When You Swear At Referees (Video)

By Chris Wright

‘Twas the E3 conference last night, which is a fairly big deal in gaming circles being as it’s used as a platform for companies to tease, trail and premiere their upcoming wares – with EA Sports leaking a few bits and bobs about FIFA 13, the most interesting being a feature that will see you punished for yelling obscenities at the screen.

The Xbox Kinect voice recognition feature will be tuned to recognise swearing in several different languages, and will react accordingly – though we’re not entirely sure if red cards for foul and abusive language will be administered should you fly into John Sitton mode over a dodgy freekick, etc…

Call us old fashioned, but maybe devoting a bit more time to making the FIFA gameplay seem like something other than an episode of the Hurricanes should’ve been a priority? Oh well.

    I wasn’t about to buy FIFA 13 anyway. I can’t stand the franchise; I hate PES even more.

    This is just ridiculous.

  5. Redskywalker7 says:

    I didn’t buy fifa 12 because I hate the way many of the matches are predetermined – wayward passed and slow players. Its just a cheap way of curbing the gap between players. Get rid of that I might consider buying it again… or not.

    I agree with Toz at the moment.

    totally agree with Redskywalker7, player stats and matches need to stay consistent. i had a player who was 90 sprint attribute however when i played away games he couldnt out run anyone. playing away from home is a disadvantage i get that, but it doesnt mean a player is all of a sudden slower.
