FIFA 12 brings to the pitch the game-changing new Player Impact Engine, a physics engine built to deliver real-world physicality in every interaction on the pitch. Experience the way real-world footballers challenge each other for the ball, win possession, and test each other physically. Enjoy an infinite variety of natural and believable outcomes in every collision. Players feel more resilient, push and pull during the fight for possession, and recover from light challenges more easily.
Revolutionary gameplay innovations make FIFA 12 deeper and more engaging. All-new Precision Dribbling creates a higher fidelity of touch on the ball for better control in tight spaces, more time to make decisions on attack, and more control over the pace of the game. Innovations in attack are balanced by a re-designed defending mechanism, making it as skilful and meaningful as real-world football. With all-new Tactical Defending, positioning and intercepting passes are as important as tackling. Tactics and timing are crucial. Plus, CPU players have been infused with Pro Player Intelligence, a self-awareness that enables them to behave and make decisions based on their own skills and tendencies, and gives them the aptitude to understand the strengths and weaknesses of teammates in every situation.
Introducing EA Sports Football Club - the heartbeat of FIFA 12 - a live service connecting players to the real-world game with fresh, new content all the time, enabling them to support their favourite club and connect and compete with their friends, rivals and millions of other players around the world. Additional features will be revealed in the months ahead.

2.0 out of 5 stars
I don't get it.,
By Red Kremlin (Scotland) - See all my reviews
= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: FIFA 12 (PS3) (Video Game)
Is it just me? Do I expect too much? Maybe I'm getting old? I don't know. I used to love playing football games, FIFA/PES/Sensi/Dino Dini's Soccer/Kick Off - I had them all. I just don't understand how people can rate this the best football game ever. It's boring and so one-dimensional. Most games end up the same. No-one ever overruns the ball or mis-controls it, every CPU player is a superstar and NONE of the skills work against the CPU.Why can't I take a set-piece without it going straight to the opposition? Throw-ins, goal kicks, free kicks...the opposition is there in a flash to steal the ball most of the time. Doesn't happen in real football, utter nonsense. Set pieces are abysmal. Defending is awful, it's nigh impossible to get the ball from the striker now, except when the CPU is defending! Then they're all around you sticking the boot in. So frustrating! Shots from outside the box just aren't possible 90% of the time, you'll be closed down or blocked. Which results in the same goals over and over again, striker through 1-on-1 with the keeper-finesse shot-goal. Or you'll score a rebound because the keepers are dreadful. zzzz Basic things like colour clashes happens all the time online, whether it's the opposition or the ref, happens way too often; not good enough. I honestly don't get why people rave about the recent FIFA games. They're the same as they've always been, too easy, full of bugs and irritants, sluggish. Even the menus are sluggish and unresponsive. The graphics are like PS2 graphics, the commentary has gotten worse with, er...Alan...er....Smith. Why does he have so many gaps in his speech?!? Arrrgghhh!! Mute!! And before anyone asks; Yes I have played the game (30+hrs), no, I am not rubbish at it, and, no I don't work for Konami. I just want a GOOD football game to play, this isn;t it. I haven't properly enjoyed a football game since PES6 on the PS2 - nothing released since then has been as fun as that. This game isn't fun, it's just annoying. It gets 2 stars because it's slightly better than PES12, which is pants. I wish someone would challenge EA & Konami in this market, maybe then we'd see an improvement in these dull insipid excuse for football games. Or maybe I'll just sell my PS3...

worse every year,

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: FIFA 12 (PS3) (Video Game)
EA seem to have realised that their customers are morons and will keep on buying this game no matter how bad the end product is (I know I do & it has been one a downward spiral since FIFA 8). Every year it gets worse, and this year they have excelled themselves. I'm not going to talk about the online version, there arent enough words to describe how bad that is, but even with player v AI this is one of the most frustratingly poor game I have ever played, with every aspect seemingly altered for the sake of it rather than to improve the experience, starting with the damn game trying to force me to log into EA servers (that generally dont work). Passing is like russian roulette as it is anyones guess as to where the ball is going to go. Crossing is similar to this, although for the AI it seems like every cross is perfect and the striker will get his head to every one of them, its just a good job they couldnt hit a bulls arse with a banjo really. Defending, particularly slide tackling, has been removed from the game for reasons i cant quite comprehend. Yes there is still the pretence that you can do it but roughly one in every 20000 tackles will result in you coming away with the ball, you usually either miss the tackle altogether (opposition players anticipate every challenge and magic themselves out of the way) or the ball rebounds into a better position than wqhen you started. Its even more rare to be able to take the opposition players out with a tackle unless you are in your own penalty are or the last man, and I really used to enjoy trying to cripple players with bad tackles. The lowliest AI player can waltz the length of the pitch through your entire team to score a wonder goal, which is more infuriating than it sounds when it is happening 2 or 3 times every game (the better teams such as Barcelona or Real Madrid dont seem to have players capable of doing the same thing for some reason).In short then, dont bother, FIFA 12 is unbelievably poor.

Fifa Gone downhill!!,
By
= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: FIFA 12 (PS3) (Video Game)
Been playing fifa for a long time and I have to say this has to be the worst yet, It's difficult which I don't have a problem with but it's goes beyond being difficult when the AI behaves in a manner that could be considered unfair. For example - The AI controls my defenders other than the defender I'm controlling at the time, simple fact is the AI controlled defenders on my team don't react to the ball being anywhere near them, The ball can stop right next to them and they won't do anything, I've seen the computer play through balls and my Ai controlled defender instantly moves out of position where he's unable to get the ball so the CPU controlled team is clean through, My strikers can be on fire for 3 or 4 games then all of a sudden they couldn't hit a barn door, you can have 15 shots on target and the computer controlled team has 2 and you'll lose 2-0. yet other games your striker is blasting it in for fun from the off. another flaw is the passing, you can be trying to pass to a player in one position and for some unknown reason it passes it to the wrong player, I've been on the edge of the opposition penalty box and my pass has gone right back to my defence lot of the time this flaw will cause you to lose the ball as you've passed to either a player not remotely involved in your attack or it;s intercepted by the Other team, This issue has been widely reported. Another problem is It's almost impossible to play a through ball the computer controlled team intercepts 95% of the time.Another problem is penalties, I'm forever giving away penalties even when I'm barely making a challenge in the box, however you could say this is the way football is these days which is fair enough but the computer controlled team very very rarely gives penalties away probably had one pen for all the time I've been playing. you can get hacked in the box and nothing is given, however if you breathe near the computer's team they get a pen. But the real problem is that the game feels totally scripted and there are numerous threads regarding this over the internet also, basically it just feels when you start a game that you were never going to win it no matter what you do. Then there are other games where you know your going to win from the start, because of the scripted feel to it it takes all enjoyment out of it, It just feels like the season has already been mapped out, Problem is when you first pick it up you think this is great, but it isn't until you start playing it in depth you realise it's completely flawed. I've only touched on a few of the flaws but believe me there are loads more which is such a shame. 2115|R15YSS7G3OX0F7;2115|R13QDOMXTL2743;2115|R3EBGL2143TXHL;
