Yep, they really messed this up. Player and Manager modes are totally seperate now. And if you're a player you tend to get subbed off at half time in almost all your matches. Or at least you did before the latest patch but I'm not interested in playing that mode again and will stick to online matches against the various mongtards.
I think FIFA 12 was an all round better game. I'd still be playing it except once i started 13, when I tried 12 again, the left analogue stick doesn't work to move players any more and when I try to edit the controls, my console crashes. Which is nice. I may try deleting my game save file to see if that makes a difference.
