Joe Hart on FIFA 13 UK cover

Along with Messi and the Ox. No Shrek for once.

Is this our first cover boy for FIFA UK?

Does anyone have a clue why the Ox is on there? Baffled.

not a clue, he isn't even a regular for his club

and who was the last goalie on the cover?

i think I've worked out something.

the other day ea sports tweeted the cover but with the 2 wide players blacked out, asking people to guess who they were.

on the left was an outline that looked exactly like van persie (with a unique hairline etc). and on the other side was the same outline as AOC (it was flipped the other way though.

as arsenal are on the demos of the game i assume they have a similar deal to us with ea, and united don't (hence why they don't have a player there anymore).

as van persie has left to utd, he can no longer be on the front, so hart is there as a replacement.

but then i do think it would have been strange to have 2 arsenal players on the front

I think Arsenal have a sponsorship with FIFA like us. For example, they're featured on the demo that's released soon and I think they had a video like ours showing their new kit.

As for the keeper, has there ever been one?

I seem to remember Buffon being on one, but may be making it up lol

EDIT-

Just checked through all the covers, and it seems I was making it up. Seems like Joe is the first, in the UK at least. DEEECEEENT!

I posted this in the other thread, but i'll post it here as well. Looks good having a City player on the front.

Great choices.

Does this mean we don't have to put up with that stupid Shrek kicking a ball animation every time we start the game?

1st keeper and the 1st time no Rooney in 6 years

Hopefully it'll be a recreation of Joe's penalty kick and Hadouken celebration vs LA Galaxy from last year's preseason tour ;)

Cheaper than Rooney? Coupled with him being a young, English talent at a big club? Just guessing though!
