Fifa 12

Just had Dortmund score an awesome own goal, gonna upload the video

Methinks it may have gone to the dubious goals panel, no way Sanchez would have been given it

I'm still getting used to it. It's quite different, that's for sure.

I was like this with 11 though and ended up loving it.

Nice deflection

I'm finding the defending easier now I've moved standing tackle back to A, and contain to B

Disappoint :dapprove:

All of them show up as Amateur, was a bug last year too

Was on Professional I think, or World Class

 

[-Jason-]

Sure you were lolz

 

[AK]

Meh, demo's alright. Nowt special.

 

[jonzz]

I still can't do elastico chop!

 

[NinjaGutz]

Dont know if its been mentioned but Fifa 12 is dirt cheap on Zavvi :approve: £39.85 me thinks

 

[AK]

£40 isn't dirt cheap for a pre-order title!

 

[NinjaGutz]

to say most other places are retailing at £45 ish plus p&p.. its not that bad

 

[AK]

Best waiting till relase date, tbh.

 

[NinjaGutz]

Fair shout.. it says special edition across the front too so I think it was my inner 10yr old shouting "buy it, its special!"

 

[AK]

Ah, that might be a good price for the 'special' one then..

 

[-Jason-]

There is a special one?

Asda etc usually do FIFA for £25 on release weekend then back up to £40

 

[Cookie]

The special one is for packs of Ultimate Team cards

If you don't play UT, just buy the boggo version

 

[NinjaGutz]

Ohh, I wondered what it was going on about.. cheers Cookie

 

[RDH]

Demo is sh*te, gutted tbh.

 

[iain187]

I always pick football games are my passion whe it starts... I think that sets it to world class... I'm too lazy to go in and max it up to legendary


I'm assuming the gfx are a wee bit shoddy to make the download smaller, seem to remember that being the case last year

 

[Birdie*]

Yeah the demo is always a couple of builds old so barely like the real game tbh

 

[Harpham]

Redownloaded this today. Still wont f**king work. Just crashes the xbox. ffs

 

[Philip.]

Mine crashed once last night, lol.

Messi is mental on this game, you can just skill it past anyone tbf.

 

[Birdie*]

Wooop just found in the controller settings they have a Defending option which you can swap to Legacy Defending and it's back to old FIFA defending sooooo much easier for my head

Graphics look good on the pc, full hd, clear, sharp picture, genuine 60fps, loading times virtually don't exist either.

The web launch of Ultimate Team went royally tits up last night, was supposed to go live at 5pm, but EA forgot hundreds of thousands of people want to play it, and so the site is still broken

 

[chriscummins7]

Epic fail!

[Birdie*]

Learn to use it then, it's not hard!

Allegedly the AI in the demo might have been beefed up to showcase the new defense stuff

Do hope that's the case, I love the new defending system - granted it is hard to get to grips with but it allows for a much more open and fluid game with a build up in possession.

I've been trying to play the demo to try and get used to the new system, it's certainly taking some getting used to.

Has anyone used the RB + Pass and LT + Shoot for the fancy passes and shots?

They always make the demo hard. Think of all the people that play 11 on legendary/world class and win every game but no one can do it on this demo... Happens every year

 

[Jonesy7]

Just laying the demo this morning and for some reason this happened...

IGN review is up :

9.5/10

 

[iain187]

i liked the bit in the review about how they noticed the ref makes mistakes but they dont know if that is just because the game is wrong or if they are trying to mimic real refs
