FIFA 12: EA Details Improved AI, Set Pieces and More

09:01 PM - January 23, 2011 by Steve_OS

EA Sports is not resting on its laurels, as they prepare for FIFA 12. Check out the planned improvements for the upcoming season.

Quote:


	"The producer (David Rutter) told the latest issue of OPM UK that EA has an "enormous shopping list" of improvements it wishes to make in its new game - and specified a few areas that the studio's already working on. "I think we did a great job with the Personality Plus feature [in FIFA 11," he said, "but the the teams [AI] doesn't support that quite as much as it should. "As an example, a team doesn't spot that if Peter Crouch in the area, they can lay a load of high balls onto his head." Rutter also revealed that set pieces are getting a complete overhaul, and that EA isn't happy with interruptive in-game loading screens. "Set-pieces are still a bit lame," he candidly admitted. "I get frustrated by not being able to do quick throw-ins, not being able to quickly select my free-kick takers, on the fly stuff. We're somewhat last-gen in the way the game cuts [before those things]."

Exactly. I never felt so strongly about that until after I played PES 11. Two very, very different games, but the constant pressure in FIFA makes it not seem like soccer at times.

Don't get me wrong, I like FIFA 11, but the stealfest that it is, depresses my enjoyment of the game.

This pretty much hits the nail on the head. And it will be a rent first deal.

If I remember correctly, weren't they touting better AI last year, too?
