Re: FIFA 12 Hands-On Preview - Small Changes, Gigantic Results

Quote:
Precision dribbling works in tandem with the new defending system. You no longer hold x for overpowered, Hooverstyle spam tackles, but to jockey the attacker, moving closer or further away with the left stick, and stepping in to tackle when the time is right by pressing x (for a standing tackle), or b (for slide).

Timing and positioning is critical, and should liberate online play where 'pressure abuser' players used to play an unrealistic pressing game. It's also harder to exploit the 'second tackler' option, creating a far more realistic flow.
best quote I have read regarding FIFA 12... this is what I been asking for the last couple of years. If the pressure abuser is not as successful online then EA has made a great improvement that many including myself have been complaining about for years. Fatigue also has to have a bigger impact in FIFA when teams are double pressing full blast the entire match.

a simple change like this could make it the best footie game in a very long time for me
