I'm cautiously optimistic. FIFA 11, while a decent game, was loaded with all kinds of broken game play that just wore me down after awhile; ie heading goals, pressure abuse, pass across goal, finesse shot from corner of the box, etc. One of my biggest pet peeves was the physicality. Yes, soccer is plenty physical, but you were often lucky to even have a few seconds on the ball before one of those "homing missiles" knocked you off. The games generally resembled ping pong more than they did the beautiful game. If you wished to play possession buildup a la Barca you were pretty much out of luck if you were playing online. This is why I'm cautious when I keep hearing about the physicality of 12; I'm all for more realism but I'm worried that in order to show off their new physics engine EA's going to over do it once again. This is just a simple example of game play mechanics, it doesn't even touch on the myriad of problems with online play, franchise mode, clubs (especially for us full manual players!!!!!). Simply put, FIFA 11 didn't capture the joy and passion I feel for futbol, it felt more like an exercise in controlling my frustration more than anything. Let's hope FIFA 12 can right the ship.

A decent set of sliders could go a long way, at least in the offline department. Not sure we'll see that though.
