FIFA 12 Questions (E3 Related)

[ChaseB]

I will be at E3 this week with a couple other OS cohorts, so if you have some questions about FIFA, then post them here. Presumably, I will have a chance to talk with some developers while there etc. so keep that in mind as well.

I can't promise every question will get answered, but we shall try to get you guys the info you thirst for.

I wouldn't mind a sticky either.

Can we mix and match uniforms (Jerseys/shorts/socks)?

How does the removal of auto-tackle feel?

How does the new lighting look? Have they changed the cartoon looking color palette?

[Whitesox]

Have they improved the career modes at all?

[rckabillyRaider]

Will the creation center be much more in depth?

Just a couple of questions of the top of my head...

• How will the referees comply with the new impact engine? In FIFA 11 huge collisions could occur, but because they weren't triggered by a tackle, they often went unnoticed to the referee.
• How does the impact engine handle random impacts, say, two defenders unintentionally bumping into each other?
• Are there any changes to set pieces in FIFA 12? Quick throw-ins, new aspects for free kicks/penalties, etc?
• Are load times/cutscenes during substitutions going to be the same as FIFA 11?
• Any news on the possibility of adding auto-substitions?
• If they're able to talk about game modes, please ask about career mode

Can I create a team and use it in manager (or career) mode?

Any info about improvements/changes to Career Mode would be greatly appreciated.

Have goal kicks been addressed? In FIFA11, the kicking team has all their players on their own side of the field, in reality almost the whole team is positioned on the other side of the field. This way on the kick a defender or midfielder receives the ball and can push it up field with support ahead. In FIFA a goal kick of realistic distance puts the ball at the forwards with no one in front. Wish there was an easier way to explain this…

A few questions:

What, if any, changes have been made to CM? Specifically regarding transfers in and out and player progression/development?

Will all free kicks, not just penalties, see the use of the composure bar prior to the kick being powered up and taken?

Have any changes been made to the advantage system in place for referees? Will the user have a specific button command available to press when/if they decide they don't want to play advantage? Will advantage not be fulfilled automatically simply because one successful pass is made, regardless of where it is made?

I probably have a few more but these are what I'm most interested in possibly hearing. Thanks again for giving us this opportunity to pose our own questions.
