    Whenever I launch the game, it goes to the screen that says "FIFA 12" and then exits to my desktop.

    I reinstalled and still have this issue.


    Also, is it possible to install in 64-bit mode?
    What OS are you using? Any controllers hooked up?

        I didn't play 11 after 5-6 straight years of wearing out my copy...did goalies come up on late corners last year because I about jumped for joy when I saw that?

        Presentation is perfect imho.Player likenesses are excellent from what I have seen

        Defending..feast or famine it seems in terms of space, sliders hopefully will help

          I like it so far. I've only play two games (both 0-0), but it plays really smooth (and I've seen lots of good off the ball runs). I can't wait to try it against a human opponent.

            I have Vista Home Premium 64-bit and I'm using a 360 controller. Worked perfectly fine for me.

              I have played about 15 game so far in the demo and I think the game plays pretty well. Occasionally I will get upset with the new impact engine (I had a play where Balotelli was running for a ball, ran into a defender and they both fell down. This happens in soccer so I don't mind but then I get up first try to get to the ball and trip over the defenders body again). But overall I think it was a good addition and makes the game more realistic.

              Defense is definitely harder and it will take a few games to get used to it. I agree that there could be a tad more pressure, especially in the box, but using the RB button to get a defender to pressure will be quite helpful.

                Is it me or is the RB shot modifier a bit overpowered? I'm playing on World Class w/ default controls, and I was able to pull off a few sick goals in the practice arena a bit too easily and this one in the real game that probably had no business going in, but did since I held RB on the shot. I just switched shooting from 'assisted' to 'semi' so that may make things harder.

                After playing a bit more the one thing I still don't like is the unstoppable-ness of the AI at times on higher difficulties. But hopefully sliders can finally remedy this. Game still feels fast, but at the end of the day it's FIFA. For better or worse. Defending takes some getting used to, but still doesn't seem like a massive jump from 11 to 12.

                    Also everyone should make sure they turn the analog sprint option from 'off' to 'on'. I don't know why EA does this and feels that the users don't want to control how fast they go, the same thing is in Madden. It should be set 'on' by default.

                          ok..I haven't been paying too much attention to the PSN updates the past few weeks..I just know they don't update that early in the morning.

                              Whenever it does update I hope it doesn't give the PS3 users a headache like it did with me...lol

                              Screaming at the TV for the players to go after the ball isn't recommended (my skill level with this game is poor at best so that plays some into it)

                                Got it on PC and I'm liking it a lot, love that it trains you on the controls before allowing you to play the game. Makes it easier once you start the match.

                                Playing on harder levels in the demo, makes you respect the challenge more.

                                I'm using Barcelona and so far I'm really loving it, having the commentary is a plus as well and more teams.
