There seems to be some mixed information online about the number of players supported in PS3 FIFA 13. Some of the pre-release ads claimed this to be 2-10 online, and 4 locally.
I've played in some 11 vs. 10 matches online, so clearly the original info was wrong, but how many players can you have on one console? I only own 2 controllers, and would like to avoid buying/borrowing a lot more of them, if the game doesn't properly work with 4+ players.
So, does FIFA support all the 7 available controllers in friendlies or are there other restrictions? Has anyone actually tried playing with more than 4 players?
Is it possible to play online with 6 friends in the various games modes?

The game's cover states local players to be 1-7 and network players to be 2-22 (zoom in on the image to look closely).
Since the max controllers supported at the same time on a single PS3 is 7, online support is at least for 4 consoles (3 consoles * 7 players + 1 console with 1 player or similar configurations). I don't know the exact number of consoles supported.
Try checking the game's manual (Warning: PDF) for further info.
