Damn that animator has got some skills . Expect Konami uses competitors from robot football instead . Never used the scoop turn in a proper game - just didnt find it that useful...

I always use it in 5 a side. Get pinned I'm the corner, scoop turn and meg them!

As long as its sorted out for 18:30 when I get home I dont care

im pretty much on the same boat as most of you on the new defending, its awesome, but i really do suck at it, it will take time for sure, i end up holding a, getting a good position, then sliding in, and 99% of the time im 2 yards away from the ball with the slide

Everytime I get into a position to tackle and I slide in, CPU ends up feinting and going the other way.

I have pressed B way too many time thinking that its the secondary pressure only to see my player start doing lunges.

Sounds like people are loving the defence changes at the moment but they will be saying its crap in a few months

tbh its probably the best first reaction to a fifa ive seen, normaly theres allot of bad reviews, i recall fifa10 and 11 having mixed reactions from the demo, this is very good.

XBL has pooped itself. I really need to make the switch over to PS3. I'm essentially only paying to play FIFA and occasionally CoD online.

 

[GreenMint]

It'd better unpoop itself by 5:30!! Could call the gf now to set it going for me, but that'll take past 5:30 to explain it

 

[knee.deep]

Just finished downloading the demo on XBL, no problems at all. Just hope its decent!

Wow the new defending is terrible, you need 3 hands to be able to do anything,

You need to hold RT to run, then hold LT to face the player, whilst using the LEFT STICK to close in then hold A to keep your distance whilst tapping LB when they make a pass then pressing B when if you get near the player or X if they are running towards you

48 hour codes don't give you gold any more, they just make it so you can play online with a silver account, nip round mine tomorrow we can play some multiplayer if you're not at work, I have madden 12 too

 

[Anksy]

you dont need to press LB to face the player, just holding A does it for me, im pretty sure you got enough fingers to press them buttons anyway, im having no trouble.

For people that don't have gold; you can copy the demo to a pen drive from someone that has gold

 

[Macky]

DLing on 360 now.

 

[MikGriff]

Finding it bloody difficult to regain the ball once the CPU has it, Even if I send a player to pressure him (RB - Which is a stupid button I might add) They seem to just turn direction and pass it to someone else.

 

[Red Porsche]

Still not able to even log in to Xbox Live! Not very good service at all!

 

[Alpherah]

Having no problems on XBL here. Currently playing Dead Island online with a bunch of muppets

Does this feel completely different to 11 then?
