***** The Official Fifa 12 Thread *****

Had the demo of this since it came out but just got around to playing the full thing on the PS3 today.

It just seems a bit bizarre?

Block tackle just seems to mean "shove the other player off the ball and give away a free kick, maybe even a booking"?

Shooting is very easy, even from outside the area, I quite liked the challenge of placing careful power and direction in '11?

Player runs don't seem very smooth? Standard run seems to be like a standard run but when I press sprint my players take off like a cat on a hot tin roof? It just looks really unnatural and strange.

The oddest part though was a handball. The AI hoofed the ball straight up the centre, over my defence. Fair enough, long balls do go long so that's fine. Rio Ferdinand went to retrieve it, yet upon collecting the ball without an opposition player within about 40 yards it gives a penalty for handball?

Now I don't remember the demo doing this, is it normal behaviour for this game? Am I doing it wrong?
 
Tute..... I would suggest turning handball off in the game options, handballs have always been dodgy on fifa its not just in 12. The handball rule is a hard for refs to get correct in RL let alone in a game.

tackling/jockeying takes time to get used to, again you can change the settings to the old way if you really want.

You can also still place your shots in 12 as you could in 11.....


I dont think your doing anything wrong your just not used to how the game plays. I dont think its the best football game ever but until PES pull their finger out, FIFA is a very good option
 
Just lost in the cup final to the luckiest player ever. He beat me 1-0 with a penalty and his keeper pulled off a bunch of crazy saves. Absolutely gutted!!
 
^i prefer Aguero myself. Rooney has got a beastly shot but i find Aguero's movement and dribbling is a different class. Out of the strikers i've played with...

Aguero > SIF Van Persie > Rooney > Hernandez > Torres

Stewy, what do you think of Rooney? Is he worth the money? Better than Aguero?

He's absolutely incredible but I would say only as a CF, he would be wasted as a ST because he's not that quick or tall, as a CF he can use his strength, ball control and passing.
 
Is it dirty putting the spare plus 5 bronze attribute cards on my players because I have no room in my consumables? The whole team has cards on them now hehe.

Guys I have a question about Fifa UT online.....

I am fairly new to UT, loving it so far and keep finding myself spending money on gold packs which are 99% of the time a waste of money.

Now I dont play Fifa online much, I find that a lot of games have delay/lag which irritates the life out of me and prevents be from playing as well as I can.

I was playing against a guy the other night who has a fairly decent team, nothing to amazing just decent but his players were SUPER FAST!? (on paper my 11 was probably stronger) I know you can use speed boosts but he said he wasn't using any on any players but they were stupid fast? Question I have is..... What can have an effect on this? he did not have a team full of Gareth Bales to counter my 11 Heskeys so whats going on?
I know we have ability to speed up the game-play from the fifa options but im sure this wouldn't come into play online.

Can anyone shed any light on this? I wasn't going mad you have to take my word for it...

I already have Aguero. I need an English player for my England Team. Already have Carroll, Bent, Agbonlahor but the team just seems incomplete without Rooney plus I don't like Bent or Agbonlahor in the game and Carroll is a tad slow.

So you would say he is no good as a lone striker in 4321? How is he for heading and getting into position for headers?
 
Hmmm I doubt he's quick enough, depends how you play it, if you're spamming crosses I wouldn't bother but if you want to give it to him to feed the wingers, as I believe a lot of the time the 1 up top drops deeper, then he could certainly spray passes about.

Personally I don't see the point of big, strong target men apart from winning goal kicks / free kicks, there is so rarely a straight one-on-one aerial jump from a cross or anything, it always depends on whether the CB can be bothered to mark you or not.
 
Well this is a pain in the arse, I want to build an all-IF Eredivisie 4-3-3 except for the past few days there haven't been any CM's in 4-3-3 that I haven't already got. 4-3-3 cards are expensive and CDM > CM or CAM > CM are stupidly priced too, meaning that if I just compromise and get a 4-3-3 CAM player for like 400 coins he ends up costing me a few thousand extra for the goddamn positional card. :mad:

Yup, was resting quite a few players so had Phil Jones and Alex at CB against Eto'o - Rooney - Torres, got absolutely pumped.

Changing team just cos I'm bored again. So far made money on every player which is good but still got IF Bibo and T. Silva to sell before I can restart.

I won't be spamming crosses but when using 4321 you sometimes get no luck going through the middle when there is a defence like Chiellini and Silva so it's always good to have a plan B. I know Rooney can pass so I'm not worried about him not being able to feed the wingers but when he costs 350k I hope he can also run into the box and get onto a header.
