FIFA 12 has become the highest grossing sports game in UK history.

"It has already made more money than any other FIFA title or indeed any other sports title to date," retail monitor GfK Chart-Track said today.

The second best-selling game in the UK last year, FIFA 12 took the top spot on the all formats chart for the fifth week in a row today (it has now topped the UK rankings seven times in total).

Chart-Track said: "The five week run is the joint second best run of any FIFA title although it has a long way to go to beat FIFA World to the World Cup 98 which had a record 11 weeks in a row at No.1."

    Well considering it's the best ever football game(overall) it's not to be unexpected.

    However I have huge doubts for Fifa 13. Honestly what can they do to improve the actual gameplay? I know for a fact they'll expand the multiplayer but unless they do turf deformation(I want some bobbeling balls and some crazy mistakes for keepers ect), wind physics(Tim Howard style), better crowds/sounds/stadia, more player liknesses and improved refereeing the next game won't be worth purchasing.

    Thats because thousands of people (just like me) have had their Xbox accounts hacked and had somebody buy £60 worth of FIFA DLC during that time

    And millions have had no problem, if you pick a crap password then expect to be hacked. I wonder how many hacks happened when people logged in the an xbox website. I wonder how many of them have no anti-virus??. I wonder how many know what a key logger is???.
    Finaly i wonder how many stupid people enter their details into phishing email/site.????
    I work in IT and im willing to be there are 100 reasons why people got hacked and im willing to bet that microsoft isnt one of them.

    Don't put your card on your account, use MS points cards, they are cheaper than buying direct from MS.

    I learnt my lesson back in 2006, had to cancel my original account because MS wouldn't remove my details from their system, even now if you remove your card details on XBOX.COM, they are still there on Microsoft Accounts, just hashed out.
