UEFA Euro 2012 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

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.

ahh? you got an idea whats the average attendance in most of those new stadiums in portugal is? besides the big 3 of course? i guess you dont.. and wtf ticket sales? stadiums during the euro are always sold out no matter where it is and who is playing

same goes for poland, average attendance in those newly build stadiums is around 15000 and less while they are for over 40.000 spectators and this will rather get worse before its getting better.

i didnt talk abt the quality of football obviously.

to austria and switzerland, im not sure if you have been in any of those countries while the tournament was held, i guess then you would have an idea what i mean...

italy will definetely not have stadiums with running tracks when they host the next big tournament so much is for sure.

oh man...

Having played for most of the afternoon, I am convinced that they have done SOMETHING to the match engine.

I don't know what, but there are several things in terms of animations and ball physics that I haven't seen before. Even though they say they haven't touched the engine, they may have snook a small patch in there somewhere.

There are several bugs though which need to be addressed. Even though I am enjoying this DLC overall, we need to be able to use multiple teams in the tournament mode, and these issues need to be fixed.

Apart from that though it's pretty good

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

Damn it, I bought it from the store and made the same mistake.

I have been to the the 1994, 1998 and 2006 World Cups.
I have been to the 2004 and 2008 Euros.

Yes, I have a little bit of an idea what I am talking about.

I definitely do have an idea what the stadiums outside of the 'big three' hold. But apparently when we add up averages we avoid larger stadia in order to prove a point I guess....

The highest amount of tourism attributed to Soccer tourneys, at least in Europe, has been in Portugal... find the necessary information, then come back with the statistics. Please

I bought this game to play tournaments online, yet I can never connect to someone because so few people play (PC).

Also, they really need to fix the issue with adjusting your reserves before the match. No matter how you configure it, the reserves are set to the default setting and you will only be able to select the four of five players listed by default (Online mode).

Re: UEFA Euro 2012 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

As a hardcore soccer fan and loyal a customer, I am actually shocked that they would realease such a subpar DLC. No Qualifying? No Captain your country? What am i supposed to do after I win the tourney once? Oh I could play expedition mode 159 times lol

Just shocking. I was a big fan of Euro 2008 and WC 2010 as full games, and this will be a blemish on their tourney releases for sure. Sad excuse for a facelift to Fifa 12. I am passing. Thankfully they had a trial. Besides banners, adboards and overlays, it will get stale fast, with lack of gameplay modes.

I hope they stick to full releases for the future World Cup games and don't start skimping out on those too.

Re: UEFA Euro 2012 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

im glad they had a trial version. i wont be bothering with purchasing the full version.

i doubt that answering is even useful but ill do it anyways...
im talking abt the use and attentance of the grounds after the tournament is over and that is increadibly bad in portugal and itll be worse in poland and ukraine.. not abt how much they hold or some bull****.

but i wouldnt be surprised if noobs like you dont even know that there is smth like a league besides the big tournaments..

and then you mention some crap abt the football tourism and tell me to back up with statistics? where is the one then you are backing up your statement with then?? and besides that there has only been 4 euros with 16 teams and obviously what are the countries that portugal has to compete with for that matter?? tiny belgium/netherlands and even tinier switzerland and austria plus rainy england way back in 1996. give me a break

i just downloaded the trial and played 2 times as spain... in the 2nd game Iker was sent off after a penalty! I've never seen a keeper commit a penalty and much less a red card in many many games of fifa '12 so I don't know if it's something new (doubt it) but first time I see such a thing!

Re: UEFA Euro 2012 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

I like the fact that the adboards can be used in every stadium. I wish the main game did this in some way.

Gameplay DOES feel different. My slider set for fifa 12 doesnt feel as good as the default one anymore

Hate the fact that the two hosting teams of euro 12 are not licensed that is beyond me.I am at a loss for that one. THAT is a travesty.

Other than that? I got it with the ea season ticket so it was much less. I like that finally downloaded stuff that was a discount using it.

Camera angle seems very nice to.

Overall its really a adboard thing wish we could used any team/club in the euro 2012 part too but guess not.

Happened to me in FIFA 12 within the first couple weeks of playing. Haven't seen it since though so it is very rare.

Well guys there is a saying in the retail world. "You get what you pay for". I think for $20 it's not a bad value. Now if this was $59.99 then I can see what you all are saying but its only $20. Maybe next time will release a full retail version with everything. Just my opinion.

I'd much rather have a full game in which all teams are licensed and you can play through the qualifiers (+ more gameplay changes).

World Cup 2010 was a lot of fun!

Re: UEFA Euro 2012 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

Its a disappointment that they didnt include the qualifiers. Looks like I wont be getting this. Still got WC 10 though.
