If you can't view the embedded video, click here.

UPDATE: Sorry, looks like the video was removed, here is what I saw.

UPDATE: Video re-added.

Wow, the video is pretty damn amazing. Here are some highlights.

Tactical Defending - Contain
Tactical Defending - New Opportunities
Dribbling - Jog Speed Turn Radius
Precision Dribbling - Precision Turn Radius
Precision Dribbling - Dribble While Shielding
Compares FIFA 11 Tackling Physics with the New Impact Engine Tackling (WOW! What a difference! I mean, WOW!)
Impact Engine - Shielding
Impact Engine - Unexpected Behaviors (Shows an AWESOME animation of a defender coming in, offensive player makes a move and does a flip)
Impact Engine - Variety (Shows a defender taking out a player that is going after the ball)
Impact Engine - Contextual Dribble Turns (Shows a player tapping the ball ahead, just a bit, then jumping to avoid a sliding tackle)
Impact Engine - Difficult Situations (Shows a player trying to kick the ball, but hits the other players foot instead and falls over)
Impact Engine - Shared Collisions (Shows 2 players going after the ball, each player had his own animation, depending on situation. In this particular one, it showed a player reaching out to kick a ball and the defender trying the same, after the ball is touched, the players lose balance and just looks very real)
Impact Engine - True Injuries (Woah... Shows a player getting roughed up, trying to advance the ball, he lands awkwardly on his right knee, after a little act job, he grabs his knee and gets up, gingerly)
True Injuries - Self Injuries (Damn, this is a great video. Anyways, this shows a player getting injured with nobody around him, looked like a strained groin and the defender takes the ball away)
True Injuries - Re-Injury (Shows a player getting tripped up and waving to the sidelines for someone to get him or sub in for him)
Impact Engine - Pushing and Pulling - Shows players pushing and pulling for position

According to the German website videogameszone, Mats Hummels will be the FIFA 12 cover athlete. Official news will arrive tomorrow.

Check out some of the new FIFA 12 screenshots, right here.

Oh bummer, looks like the video is now private. I watched it and have it cached, if anyone wants to know any details.

That is a bummer... what kind of details can you offer? And I would wager that Hummels is only a regional cover athlete.

I just want to know about player progression and the development of the career modes.

If the tackling is fixed this could be the best soccer game ever.

The variety of injuries looks to have increased by a factor of 10, which was sorely needed.

I hope the frequency doesn't go up by that much though

Wow! FIFA 12 looks like it good be a great game.

EA has really stepped their game up this year with their football/futbol titles.

Question: Will their be enough time to enjoy all of them to the fullest?

Good problems to have, I guess.
