Fifa 12

[Cruyff14]

They should though Curnow. There aren't many defenders who could catch Walcott and the likes.

Haha, i only started playing UT after the PSN debarcle.... no-one was using the market after that.
Thats a big reason I'll be getting 12 so I can play Ultimate team in its glory.
Getting the ultimate edition with Gold packs.

And there's a shit ton of achievements/trophies for FUT. I get the feeling I'll be spending a ton of time on it.

From what ive.seen they still do, but just nit as much, you have to work harder to get them into space so they can use there pace, not as easy this year but they still do, I broke away with aguero but only after a couple of good passes, I like the harder defence

 

[mcuzzy]

so apparently the demo is shit and they've tried to fix the defending but it has become overall much worse even once you're accustomed to it. is this true?

i also only just started FUT, to be honest i'm only starting to settle in to fifa11 now and i'm finally becoming competitive online(i spent over half the year trying to make my VP the perfect player but only ended up getting to 90)

ps3 users add me and let me know who you are, will be good to have some friends in my list that actually play fifa and not just COD

Yeah I broke away with Silva and Aguero a few times.

like the demo alot tbh

 

[sacka]

Wow im not the best of players but seriously i have never been side stepped so much in a game in my life, what sort of semi are the defenders driving to turn the way they do?
I lost count of the times it passed to the wrong bloke or the completely wrong way, and when i make a break down the wing after a very slow build up i cross to 1 attacker v 4-5 defenders with the rest still standing in the middle of the park ffs.

I think the fifa demo is a big steaming pile of shit, but seriously if you like the evo soccer one better then you have rocks in ya head, it plays like a 98 fifa game ffs.

After playing both demos tonight at least i know i will be saving my pennys and NOT getting either of these 2 piles of shit

And how annoying is the huge mother****ing scoreboard ffs, i can't see the flipping ground ya idiots.

 

[Cruyff14]

Sacka if you don't like PES, I think you are the one with said rocks in head.

 

[mcuzzy]

the ref has intercepted a pass in every match i've played so far.

van persie ran into a defender, did a flip in mid air (literally made it above the defenders head level) and slid almost 4 metres along the ground

the defending system allows an attacker to run around in circles for 10 seconds while his team mates make repetitive runs

players automatically making runs which are pointless and don't support their team mates

same as fifa 11, only it all happens faster

one thing i do like is that doing flick tricks and skills are much harder, it seems to be more realistic. relying more on fast passing etc. kinda hard though

 

[mcuzzy]

another rant

2 own goals in a match. one time kompany was by himself receiving a cross and i furiously was trying to get him to clear it before the attacker came in. he ran forward to receive the cross and he chested it in. good work kompany you ****ing idiot.

second was joe hart dived out to save. "great save joe well done" says micah richards "let me reward you by clumsily letting the ball bounce off the back of my leg as i run into the wrong direction and score an own goal"

most of my goals have come from sprinting down the wing with a defender and crossing it in. they dont even try to stop me and when they do it(run up the wing to attack), it is extremely hard to stop them. so its like fifa 11 wing play only harder to defend.

defenders are still brain dead and stand around unless you are controlling them, they just let the wingers dance around them and receive. goalkeepers still have issues. brb watching a finesse sail over my head from outside the box and letting it hit the bottom of the crossbar, bounce off my head and go in the net despite the fact i'm standing on the line.

also the impact engine has been very off, but when it works it looks cool.

 

[mcuzzy]

on a positive note, shooting is much better

 

[Beloved]

Demo looks good from clips I've seen. A lot of players are losing because they're trying to play the game like FIFA 11, just as most people tried to play FIFA 11 like FIFA 10 and go destroyed.

I don't play The demo I just buy the game and this thread is depressing me!

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

I can appreciate what EA have tried to do with this game, but they're going to piss a lot of people off. I'm prepared to put in some effort to figure out the defending, because after an hour or so of play last night, I was disgraceful, but so many people are going to take one look at this and scream and run in the other direction.

This 'trinity' of new features they've been spruiking is largely horse shit. The impact engine works about 50% of the time, and the rest you're just left with blokes doing backflips off the ball. I've lost count of the times my own players ended up tangled and just let a defender run past.

I'm yet to find a situation where precision dribbling is useful. I know it's meant for getting some extra touches in, but for this to be some revolutionary control as they've said, then surely I should be able to notice some sort of effect?

The defending system is infuriating right now. If I lose the ball, I'm pretty much not getting it back. The opposition just run rings around me because I'm unable to get into a good position or lay an effective tackle. However I'm willing to concede that I need more practice with this, and I appreciate the fact that EA made an attempt to eradicate the pressure crap.

The game looks terrific, the pre-game presentation made me hard, and all the replays seem ten times better. But I remember the feeling I had after playing the first PES demo for the first time, which was so much satisfaction that a football game was moving in the direction that I always hoped it would. PES has taken a soild base and improved upon it, whereas FIFA has taken a soild base and added a shit-tonne of unneccessary features that will probably put people off the game completely.

I'll give it time to win me over, it's not looking good.

tactical defending can lick my hole

everything else seems pretty good though, hopefully my defending improves and I can start to enjoy the game, cos atm its flipping frustrating

Looked realistic too me..

You can turn the tatical definding off and turn on legacy defending which reverts the defending system to previous versions of Fifa.

I'm liking the demo so far, very frustrating at first but slowly getting the hang off it.

Have downloaded both PES and Fifa demo and will be getting Fifa

 

[Cruyff14]

Did you get the second PES demo Stret?

 

[RickSanchez]

Uhh. Is the second demo the one on xbox now or is that the first one. I got the first one but didn't play it much as I don't really like using the keyboard, but I might get it on xbox. Fifa feels a bit weird to me now and really buggy.

thank god for that (both legacy defending and ur choice of fifa over pes)

 

[Stretford End]

Did you get the second PES demo Stret?

No, only downloaded the first one, what changes are there form the first one?

And regrading tactical vs legacy, tactical will be the default for online and you won't be able to change modes accroding to reports.

 

[ROSEMVP]

[Toshowyouwhy]
