FIFA Soccer 12 (360) Review

[RaychelSnr]

Slow and patient have never been words associated with the FIFA series. In fact, in previous releases the pace of gameplay was so helter-skelter they resembled sprint meets more than the sport of football itself. Well, no more. The nature of play in FIFA 12 has gone through an extensive overhaul, and the results, while far from perfect, are impressive.

I would say, fair review even though FIFA 11 got a 9?
"Cons:
AI teammates aren't the brightest, (fair and very true)

Gameplay can feel too familiar" (that's an ambiguous personal opinion)

It's the player's job to be creative just like in the real game.

I know in another game that is out now there are graphic issues on a certain game system. Are there any graphical differences between the 360 version and the PS3 version??

Very solid review.

In terms of customization, sliders and custom team tactics, there are two threads going (one for each) and the more people testing and tweaking the better.

I watched that backpassing video, very discouraging stuff. Great job on the review.

8.5? Kinda harsh. Career mode will never play like a Football Manager game, so we all have to suspend belief a bit. For what FIFA sets out to accomplish it achieves. Thefore IMO the game is a 9+.

Hopefully not too many trick moves.. It seems like anyone can perform fancy foot tricks. Unrealistic.

Very fair review, you hit all the points pretty much spot on. The fun factor is definitely there despite a few short comings.

8.0 - 8.5 (Great) -- These games are really quite good. There are a few notable flaws with the game holding it back from being a classic, but these games are worth the money, and for even casual fans of the sport they are definite purchases.

You think this game is an all-time classic?

SOMEONE GETS THE NEW SCORING SCALE!!!

Yes this game is an all-time classic. One of the best, if not the best, soccer game of all time. I'm ok with the 8.5 score, I haven't played it enough yet, but it's hard to find more than a point to deduct out of a 10 point scale.

" It used to be the insane team press on FIFA 11, now this year it’s backpassing. Yes, there are some players who, once they have taken the lead, will pass you to death and take advantage of this year's lack of pressure button. Technically, you can counter this by tweaking your own tactics to just as extreme levels, but by then no part of the game will resemble a real football match anymore. "

That's why I won't buy a football game this year, it just doesn't step up the realism from a player's/viewer's perspective. Goals are monotonous and you don't see any real football tactics and plays.

Are sliders downloadable from online? I would like to play with a good high rated/high downloaded set!

No, but there is a thread near the top of the forum.
