Does anyone know any news about when we should be expecting to be able to download the FIFA 12 demo from the PS network?

cheers

Thinks its the 18th of this month. 5 teams are in it

AC MILAN
BARCELONA
ARSENAL
DORTMUND

and another team I can't remember but could probably google search it and find out but really can't be bothered to be honest.

I think it's the 14th actually Robert on the PS3.

13th for 360 users.

Oh and there is 6 teams:
Barca, Arsenal, Man City, Marseille, Dortmund and AC Milan.

I read that Man City paid EA to do them a favour in this game.

The main thing will be a fully modelled Etihad stadium and 3D scans of the faces of the entire Man City squad. I don't think anyone really cares, the main Man City players were already properly modelled last year and the players who weren't modelled were probably reserve or second squad players that people never used anyway. The top clubs have had their stadiums fully modelled for ages.

Wonder how much money they give you for man city in manager mode?

Gonna buy the Serie A league with Man City.

One thing I always wondered, who rates the players and how? Do EA just decide 'Right, he can have a score of 82 with passing as 79...shooting as 80...etc'??

Hype and probably recent form of the player.

I think the community decided which players would be TOTY in each league though.

Andr3w · 7 Sep 2011 at 19:10

Theres 100's of players, i'm sure they must just guess the majority of them

K1LLSW1TCH · 7 Sep 2011 at 19:41

They have people who specialise in each league... supposedly.

I'd hate to be the guy that has to watch all the Aussie games.

I think it would be great, they're all crap, all you have to do is give them between 50-60 OVR and nobody would be suspicious.

EA have 900+ people who collate all the stats and decide on player ratings, skills etc

How do you know? Would love to have that job! Also to help decide ratings for players on Football Manager

Looking forward to this.

@ Discussions about the FIFA "team" that decide player stats

And access (along with Fulham i believe .. lol) to an exclusive game mode.

Actually, EA paid Man City.
Deal smells of dodgy, especially with EA saying its to "increase the franchises profile amongst fans".
Just brown envelops deals to help City get around footballs new financial rules.
