UEFA Euro 2012 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

[geisterhome]

the euro will suck, having it in countries like poland and ukraine is just as lame as austria and switzerland were in terms of having a football tournament there. 2016 in france will be better and then moving on i really hope for italy, spain, germany or even turkey. just some more classical football countries. i have been following this since 1996 which was in england. then the downward spiral began, netherlands plus belgium and portugal were a worse choice of a host but still kind of acceptable but they took a further step backwards with austria and switzerland (both not qualified this time) and now ukraine and poland arent any better.
so withother words thats the kind of game that the competitions actually diserves.

LOL.... WHAT?!?

Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal were a step backwards? Are you reading what you just wrote?

For one, the Euro held in Portugal was rated as one of the top in history due to infrastructure created, all-new stadiums, ticket sales, etc.

England's was one of the worst ever voted tournaments as have been tourney's held in Italy because essentially outside of the San Siro, the stadiums are Olympic stadiums.

Ahhhh, the things people say.

I could not agree more. The Austria/Switzerland Euro was one of the most entertaining tournaments that I can remember (The first Euro I can remember is 2000 and the first WC I can remember is 1998).

I wish there was qualifying, but I get why they didn't include it now (unlicensed squads). I have enjoyed FIFA12 for months and this DLC just adds to the experience for me.

I have a season ticket but it doesnt allow me to get the discount?

Are you buying it in-game or just going to the Xbox Live store?
If you do it in-game it should show the discounted 1440 price or whatever it is.

ahh? you got an idea whats the average attendance in most of those new stadiums in portugal is? besides the big 3 of course? i guess you dont.. and wtf ticket sales? stadiums during the euro are always sold out no matter where it is and who is playing

same goes for poland, average attendance in those newly build stadiums is around 15000 and less while they are for over 40.000 spectators and this will rather get worse before its getting better.

i didnt talk abt the quality of football obviously.

to austria and switzerland, im not sure if you have been in any of those countries while the tournament was held, i guess then you would have an idea what i mean...

italy will definetely not have stadiums with running tracks when they host the next big tournament so much is for sure.

oh man...

Having played for most of the afternoon, I am convinced that they have done SOMETHING to the match engine.

I don't know what, but there are several things in terms of animations and ball physics that I haven't seen before. Even though they say they haven't touched the engine, they may have snook a small patch in there somewhere.

There are several bugs though which need to be addressed. Even though I am enjoying this DLC overall, we need to be able to use multiple teams in the tournament mode, and these issues need to be fixed.

Apart from that though it's pretty good
