*** Official FIFA 12 Thread ***

Don't know if its been mentioned already,

If you don't like the new defending, in the controller options you can change the Defending mode from Tactical to Legacy Defending.

This will revert back to the old pressure and team pressure system.

Oh thank heavens. I like the whole crab shuffling but I just always seem to miss the standing tackles.
 
I pre-ordered Fifa 12 on the pc as i managed to get it for £20 and it's going to be same console version, but after playing this demo I'm rather underwhelmed, just feels the same as Fifa 09 and 10, dunno why, but it still very static in gameplay, played PES 2012 demo and enjoyed it throughly more, gameplay is much more dynamic, really like the player movements and all. Hmmm. Also Fifa 12 feels so sluggish for some reason, but PES player graphics are blurry.

Is anyone experiencing that your players don't seem to move around into positions where chances can be created? It's a bit frustraiting as your midfield and attack just seem completeley static.

I've always found the player movement very static in fifa, seems like much hasn't change in 12 which is supposed to be the new game engine.

Despite the fact that the devs have stated it's the exact same game engine used on every platform? Yeah.

I was playing the same skill level on both (hard), the AI in the demo on the PC was not as good, I dont know why you would suggest otherwise A random name.

I would prefer to get it on the pc if its the same, going by the demo, its not.

I've got the demo on both the 360 and the PC.

The only difference between the two is the jaggies and the frame rate drops on the 360 version. Absolutely nothing gameplay wise.

Buy a wireless adaptor for the PC to use an xbox controller on the PC. It works perfect except the PC gets nicer graphics and frame rates.
 
Just downloaded this and i have booted it up and it looks like i am back in PS2. How do i change the graphic settings?

I have a GTX 460 1gb with the latest Nvidia drivers and also all the latest windows.

I've got two PS3 controllers working on the PC.

Go to http://www.motioninjoy.com download the program and install it. Connect the PS3 controller via the USB charging cable it comes with and reboot Windows with Driver Signature Enforcement turned off - recent versions are supposed to remove the need for disabling this but it doesn't work for me. You then go into the DS3 Tool program that was installed and click Enable - the controller will (should) now work. You can tweak the button mappings if necessary.

You can also use it via bluetooth but the PS3 won't recognise it unless you reset the controller (forgotten how I did it in the past but specifically don't use it via bluetooth on the PC to prevent me having to do it again).
 
How do I get it to work with my keyboard? I just want to see how it runs before buying a controller.

EDIT: Don't worry, I was being a retard.

Bash F8 :>

You have to have hit F8 before the Windows logo appears during the boot-up process but near/at the end of the BIOS POST messages. There can be milliseconds in that period where it won't register keystrokes which is why repeatedly pressing F8 until presented with the menu (Safe Mode etc.) is the better option.

There are other methods for disabling it permanently etc. but I wouldn't suggest going that route.

If you do get to the next stage, turn the vibration level (left and right motors, near the Enable button) down in the DS3 Tool program. I have mine set to about 35% and that's more than enough for me.

Can anyone tell me what online play will be like? I've played Fifa 11 but only single player and am looking forward to online on 12. What sort of gamemodes are there beside friendly matches? I hope there are competitions etc.

Also how the heck do you do them cool skills like the bergkamp flick I suck at it lol. I use a 360 controller by the way on the pc.

I also bought it on Origin but is Origin basically the equivalent of Steam?
