*** Official FIFA 12 Thread ***

Just had my most frustrating fifa moment EVER...

Playing my very first online game, winning 5-1 in the 90th minute, no word of a lie........my internet dies and i get cut off :| God i had BT.

EDIT: ffs no idea what BT have done now but im now connecting at the slowest speeds i've ever had. This is disgraceful.

EDIT2: excellent, decided to play a single player game instead, gets to half time and gets stuck again, crediting me with yet another loss. I give up on the ultimate team thing for now.

Winning headers

Guys, I'm playing with the X-Box gamepad...what buttons should I press to win more headers? I presume I have to jockey them, but there seems to be lots of different types of jockey buttons iirc...'A', LT, RB, etc...

I'm playing with an xbox pad as well, depends on the type of header you want to do.

If their keepers taken a goal kick and your defenders just trying to get the ball away i think you can use eitehr A to attempt to head the ball to another player, but i think there's less likihood of you winning the header with A, or you can use B and it'll just do a clearing header which the defender is more likely to win, but obviously it could go to anyone.

At least i think that's right but i may be corrected :p

Does anyone else find the process of holding A to go towards a player is pretty much completely useless in comparison to previous games? In fifa 11 and 10 you could pretty much just hold A most of the time to attempt to tackle people, now i find myself never using it and just using LT when they're near the box or unassisted tackling with B when away from the box

Yeah, I don't bother with pressing A much now.

Also, what controller setting to people play? I play Alternative as I'm used to Pro Evo controls.
 
I only ever use alternate.

Also i have changed camera to Dynamic as well. I was playing on the default(tele?) camera where you can see much more of the pitch, which is great but it seems a tad slow and on dynamic the gameplay seems a lot quicker.

Jockeying is not bad imo, i use A quite a bit and it works vey well to break up oppostion play, they find it much harder to pick out a pass and you can generally pressure them in to making mistakes.

I find it really good. If your following someone whilst holding A, other players will track the attacking teams runs. If you are following a player in the center of the pitch and they run wide, switch your player so your winger or full back is chasing down the ball carrier. When you do it like that, its real hard for the attacker to pick holes in your defence and when they do pass, more often or not you will intercept the pass. Also by doing that, your other players wont be out of position and they will return to marking others in the center et.c..
 
I am playing with the in game settings atm. Were they in the last game? I don't remember being able to do it before. I think it is a really good feature. (i mean being able to change things like how often your players make runs, opponent speed, passing error etc)
 
I find switched the actual tackle button (usually RB/R1 i think) to A
Then supporting player contain (Not the one you control on B)
And contain with player your controlling on RB works well.

Not hard to run with them/jokey then just hit A to stick a leg in, pressing rb seems awkward.
 
I really dislike that 3Gb update that I am forced to download. 250kbps fml. The exact reason I purchased this and Rage retail in the hopes I wouldn't have to download lots.

hmm not all my ps3 controls are working using motionjoy 360 emulator

You should use the latest version of Motioninjoy (http://www.motioninjoy.com/blog/motioninjoy-ver-060004-available) and combine it with the offline files of v0.60003 which I posted earlier in this thread so you aren't dependent on their website being up (it went down last week causing problems for most users because the offline wouldn't work). Then, follow these instructions which are hopefully accurate as this is what I did:

-Open up DS3 Tool
-Select Custom and click on Create
-Click on Default
-Click Save
-Click on the existing custom profile (MotioninJoy Demo Profile or some such)
-Click Delete
-Click Save and give the profile a name
-Enable the profile

If necessary - and it was for me - download the GamePad Fix tool (search via Google) and set up the controls for FIFA 11 and then copy the "buttonDadaSetup.ini from My Documents\FIFA 11 to My Documents\FIFA 12 and if you're paranoid, make it read only.

Motion sensors probably don't work as it acts like a PS2 controller but I'm not concerned with that. Analog sticks work perfectly fine - just be sure to load DS3 Tool when you restart your computer and enable your custom-made profile before you plan to play or half the buttons won't work.

No, **** off Apple. Any update that tabs you out is to blame.

That too.

But DC/Autoloss on tab out? **** off.
If someone is making changes i might need to tab out to quickly tell someone i'm busy or some ****, ridiculously poor design.

I am having a little trouble adjusting to the jockeying and defending. I'm not writing it off at all, i think i just need to practice a bit.

Just had a few good games agains mrbios. Lost both of them:( 3-2 and 1-0. Good games though. i messed up shooting on more than one occasion when i was through on goal:D
 
Anyone else had a problem using custom chants where the game won't play your selected chant playlist when you are winning?

I have it set to play the same playlist as my usual favourite team chant but it refuses to play it - tried changing to a different playlist but the problem persists.

Annoying.
