FIFA 12 Video - Man City vs. Barcelona

Re: FIFA 12 Video - Man City vs. Barcelona

You should try online play.

I'd say 7/10 of the people are like that, but there are some who actually know the game, and make it very realistic. Whenever I find somebody like that I add them. So now I have a bunch of "FIFA friends" and if I want to play online I will usually just send one of them an invite. It's nice to play against a human every now and then

Typo? I'm thinking 9.7/10.

the new PES demo plays and looks waaaaaaaay better than this

I won't just this video to harshly. I'll just wait for the demo like everyone else. If this game didn't have the official license I don't think it would sell as well as it does.

I'm still going to wait until the demo to decide a purchase but I have heard some good things about Career Mode lately.

You nailed it KG. The only reason that bothers me in PES12 are the licenses. I think I'm gonna go with PES 12 this year, and use edit files. It looks very unrealistic to me. Too bad, graphics is really nice in FIFA.

Totally agree. I've played the demo for Pes2012 (PC), and I gotta say, though certain things need to be worked on (eg, goalkeepers) it plays an incredible game. Absolutely incredible. The AI is fantastic and the individuality of players shines through. And the way they have incorporated the momentum of players and the way players' body shift is so realistic. In Fifa, players turn on a dime; unrealistic.

I would go so far as to say that if Pes2012 can indeed fix a few things it could turn out to be the best sports sim I have ever played, along the lines of NBA2K11.

Looks about the same. Looks like I'll stick with my PES.

So almost everybody you play holds the sprint button down for the entire game and tries 1-2 passes all the way up the field?

You're either exaggerating or I have been lucky. I'd say at least 2 out of every 10 games I play are pretty enjoyable, fairly realistic games.

People have been sayin' stuff like that for years, but when the game comes out it just isn't the case.

I'm in the same boat. Lack of licensing bugs me, and I'm not too savvy at how to get and download already-made option files on the PS3.

Get FIFA, which most of my friends will get, with eh gameplay, amazing graphics, licensing and a variety of different teams not in PES (including Mexico, MLS, Bundesliga).

OR

Get PES, which less people will play and whose online servers I'm unsure and ignorant about, with great gameplay, decent to average graphics, lack of licensing and leagues.

Wish these games would combine. haha

The game also has a variety of goals and goal-scorers, which FIFA lacks for the most part.

For the most part, yes. Especially at the "higher" levels when you take on better-ranked opponents.
