This would be a bummer as at times last year it felt that it was.Comment

At least for 1v1, I'm hoping that the ability to manually control the GK will allow those shots to be saved.Comment

Have a gay old time playing the demo, btw. Downloaded the patch that allows for longer halves and man, I really like this game. First day purchase for me, even though I've been looking more forward to the arrival of the other game.Comment

A great product sells itself, no "back of the box" features required! (See Fifa...)

Re: FIFA 12 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3, PC)
Played as many games as I could today. Only FIFA
The game looks amazing. It really captures the feeling of a large stadium, an International event.
I love how hard it is to get a shot on frame and how hard it is to work down the wings. I've always felt like running the flanks has been too easy in all soccer games.
I was almost certain the cpu never sent an errant pass without pressure, when I finally saw one. It was very cool.
I still haven't seen a shot from distance from a midfielder. I don't expect to be peppered by midfielders. That doesn't happen in any game. But, I do want to see at least 1 shot from a midfielder, be it from distance or not.
The other thing I noticed was that opposing strikers would look to work very close to the net before shooting. On numerous waves, I've pulled my defender almost back to the keeper in hopes of inducing a shot from any distance but the strikers don't take it. They either dribble closer or pass.
I don't know if its related to the level or not (played about 6 games on World Class then a handful more on Pro) but the darn CPU is impossible to catch, check, or even foul. After a while I just wanted to see if I could even get a slide tackle performed and I could not. I don't like going to the ground often but it is sometimes necessary and effective (watch an EPL game). I whiffed on every single attempt to slide tackle.Comment

I wonder if a foul slider is patchable...This bothers me as well.Comment

Re: FIFA 12 Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3, PC)
Have you guys played with the time extender on the PC. There is still a lack of fouls unfortunately with more time. As for slide tackles it is really up to how good of the Defender you are using and it also helps if he has the tackling icon I think. I played ALOT of matches with Man City on the demo and I was able to pull a nice slide tackle maybe once or twice every other game with Kompany and a few others. I am enjoying this game but I am very 50/50 with it. One second I like and another second I don't. It is mostly due to the AI and the streamlined team play, I swear I am tired of getting scored on the same way sometimes and all teams using the same tactic. However, I have gotten better at defending as I held a clean sheet in 4 straight games. Also I did see some shots from out the box but it is rather rare.Last edited by RoyceDa59; 09-21-2011, 01:29 AM.Comment

Enough so that I went out and got a wired 360 controller to play GTAIV, MLB2K, etc. And yes, having to do that frustrates me just as much, believe me.Comment

Fired this one up for the PC last night. I'm not sure if there is a better looking sports game for the PC. I was blown away.
I enjoyed the PC demo more than the PS3 demo and not just because you can make the halves longer. I found on the PC when you power up your shots they tend not to go sailing over the net as much as on the PS3. The slow speed was noticeably slower than on the PS3 which was better for an old timer like me.Comment

At this point, it's below the amount of the last few years which is really bad.Comment
