The good news for cack-handed FIFA players is that you no longer have to rely on the right stick twirls and swirls to trick your way past defenders. It's great for mocking opponents but in truth twiddling the stick - unless you're an expert - is like spinning a roulette wheel and hoping the right number drops out. In FIFA 12 you can beat a player with close control and the right player. Enter Arsenal's Samir Nasri - destroyer of worlds. Well, not worlds but definitely defences. My instant reaction to the news that the dribbling had been fixed was to give a silent shout and tiny air-punch in celebration. As we only had Arsenal and Chelsea to play with I chose the Gunners because they have more flair players to try out this new control system with. A couple of runs with French international, Nasri, left my opponent with twisted blood as he turns them inside out with close, quick movements. You have far more space thanks to the new defensive system in place (more on this later) which means defenders can be isolated and ripped to bits.

Sounds fantastic. I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on the game.

This is awesome, given my inability to do anything with the right stick.

Damn. I've mastered the trick stick and always doop my friends with it. This is bad news for me.

Sweet! I couldn't pull off many right-stick moves.

The pic of the big three made my eyes water a bit.

Sounds good! Too many times I was one man away, only to dance and do a nice right stick flick, only to be bumped into by the 65 overall defender and stone walled.

Loved reading that about Nasri. Too bad he's gonna be on my Red Devils next year. Another weapon to add to the arsenal! Or should I say take from the Arsenal? LOL! I'm hating that October is so far away. Outside of FSB's concerns, I've heard nothing but praise for this game. It looks like Fifa, Madden and 2k this year on 360, PES on PC again....
