Re: FIFA 12 Demo Available Now For 360 and PC, Later Today For PS3, Post Impressions

Played a couple of more games and I'm really enjoying it. My latest game was Arsenal (Me) vs. Milan. I wanted to test the new impact engine, so I got a player sent off after 11 minutes - my bad. Even though I adjusted my team settings, I ended up being complete outplayed by the Milan strikers and their offensive midfielders in the final 25 minutes of the game - lost 2-4.

Some of the best things about the FIFA 12 is the ball control and off the ball movement. Players are doing a lot more creative stuff with the ball and are able to attack the ball in the air a lot better this year. Also I've seen lots of good off the ball movement from my AI teammates.

And it terms of ball control I had a great pass to Fabregas, who used his heel to get the ball under control and turn towards the goal while completely fooling a defender in the process. It looked both great and realistic.

It's up on PS Store now. It's not in the demo section (as I post this), but if you search the store for "FIFA 12" it'll be in the list.

Can't wait. I play w/ manual controls and thought FIFA 11 was great (aside from a few minor things), hoping FIFA 12 can be just that little bit better and I will happy.

Downloading now for PS3.

8% left on 360. This is going to basically be the final factor in whether I buy it or not.

Yeah, I tell myself that too. But chances are I'll be buying it, regardless. Basically, I have no self control when it comes to FIFA v PES...I'll get both.

I really enjoyed Ultimate Team last year. Building a 2 Star squad and playing other 2 Star people was a lot of fun and if it's still pretty much the same this year, it'll be worth it, I guess.

Does anyone notice the lack of pressure from the AI compared to last year. They will play you five yards off the ball if you are still. It seems the AI will only react when the user does something, very mechanical feeling. I swear I can score a couple of goals on world class then just hang back with almost no pressure on me and just hold the ball. it's like they don't want the ball unless I screw up and give it to them on an easy turnover or just try to push my way through the middle. Still fun trying to score goals though, the AI just isn't worried about winning. Early impressions here, i'll play a few more games and teams and see what happens. Bye.

Not sure how I feel about it really. I find it hard to score goals, but then again I'm not winging it and heading I'm trying to build up. Precision doesn't work how I expected but I didn't check the tutorial. New defense is fine I guess but I gotta get used to the new buttons. I feel like my guys are 50% slower than the comp guys though.

There is definitely less pressure. It's pretty nice. You can actually get the ball in midfield, stop and think about where to distribute it to. Much more realistic. In previous years, defenders worked non-stop to pressure which doesn't happen too often.

I'm not liking how I have to use R1 to play defense...

Re: FIFA 12 Demo Available Now For 360 and PC, Later Today For PS3, Post Impressions

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 don't know about last year but I know they did in FIFA 09 which I've been playing for the past almost two years.
