I was severely mistaken, I had the impression the DLC was $10.
I'd rather sell FIFA 12 for $20 on a trade than pay $26 for
half-baked DLC. I'll pass on this.

What I was surprised by is no be a pro/use a pro gameplay, none. Not in exhibition, the tournament or even the expidition mode.

That's weird. I could have sworn that in the developer Q&A (which seems to have dissapeared) they said you could use your VP in the expedition mode.

You can use your BAP in expedition, i'm using it, but not in any of the other modes.

Important restriction: The Offline Tournament is single player only you CAN'T play an offline Eurocup with a friend in your console, that is beyond stupid. Of course you can play exhibition games vs other players.

Expedition mode is fun, as are also the challenges based on past real games from the qualifiers (like in the world cup game).

I bought it because it's cheap and it's like a collection item for me, but if $26 means something to you, do not buy this as it's a half done DLC. Can't believe that only half of the teams are licensed, the rest have fake players and uniforms, including the Tournament host Poland and Ukraine.

No qualifying rounds is a big loss too, but i guess they did it to hide that only half of the teams have been licensed.

At least they could have included the option to edit the teams/players so we can put the real names ourselves but rosters/teams are not editable at all.

Sorry I didn't make myself clear. U can use your be a pro, but u control the whole team, not just ur pro. So it's not just from his point of view. Also in exhibition and expidition u can change the stadiums u can play in even using stadiums from FIFA 12, not sure if u can use all of them but def a lot of them. I just went into FIFA 12 hoping that the euro stadiums can b used in FIFA 12 but this isn't the case.

I played a few games and it feels identical to FIFA 12. Anyone know if there was even one modification to the gameplay?

There were zero changes to the match engine. This was purely cosmetic.

This I will give EA credit for, they did say that graphics and gameplay were not touched at all, although some swear up and down it's different it's not.

Ok, so I'm really glad I held off on this... but for 20.00 I know I'll want it when the tournament starts so essentially I'm just saying I'm not going to buy it now.

Two questions, is there a discount for season pass owners? I don't think so, but it can't hurt to ask.

Biggest question, is there an online mode similar to to the world cup mode in 2010 and the online season mode in this year's game? I'm addicted to these modes and loved it in the world cup game. Only hitch is, if people don't buy it there won't be people to play against.

"You can only use one team in the euro tourney." !!!!!!! (thks BenVenom)

Oh dear, what a lame !!!!!!!! never seen such a failure in any one-event featured game!!!

Yes. For Season Pass members, you get a discount. I paid 1440 MS points. Not that bad in my book. I am enjoying the DLC so far.

I wish there was qualifying, but I get why they didn't include it now (unlicensed squads).

I have enjoyed FIFA12 for months and this DLC just adds to the experience for me.

[geisterhome]

the euro will suck, having it in countries like poland and ukraine is just as lame as austria and switzerland were in terms of having a football tournament there. 2016 in france will be better and then moving on i really hope for italy, spain, germany or even turkey. just some more classical football countries. i have been following this since 1996 which was in england. then the downward spiral began, netherlands plus belgium and portugal were a worse choice of a host but still kind of acceptable but they took a further step backwards with austria and switzerland (both not qualified this time) and now ukraine and poland arent any better.
so withother words thats the kind of game that the competitions actually diserves.

LOL.... WHAT?!?

Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal were a step backwards? Are you reading what you just wrote?

For one, the Euro held in Portugal was rated as one of the top in history due to infrastructure created, all-new stadiums, ticket sales, etc.

England's was one of the worst ever voted tournaments as have been tourney's held in Italy because essentially outside of the San Siro, the stadiums are Olympic stadiums.

Ahhhh, the things people say.

I could not agree more. The Austria/Switzerland Euro was one of the most entertaining tournaments that I can remember (The first Euro I can remember is 2000 and the first WC I can remember is 1998).

I have a season ticket but it doesnt allow me to get the discount?

Are you buying it in-game or just going to the Xbox Live store?
If you do it in-game it should show the discounted 1440 price or whatever it is.
