I can't understand why anybody would even consider creating an entirely new PSN ID for the sake of playing a demo a couple of hours earlier than they normally would.

I used to have 3 accounts but since getting a new ps3 I forgot my log in info for my Japan and US accounts. Now, I can't be bothered making them up.

It's your rightful punishment for not owning an Xbox.

You mean for not owning a 3rd xbox? My last one broke like 3 years ago. Gave up after that.

To be honest, I've been thinking of buying one on the cheap, online gaming is just much better on the 360. I miss the days of playing Gears and Halo... and Halo 4 is just round the corner.

The problem with the first touch is that if you play with say Man City, you can immediately tell the difference if you play with Arsenal. First touches with Man City are generally rubbish, Nasri for example should have a great first touch but it can ping right off him.

It adds an element of randomness into the game which isn't needed. I want players like Nasri, and Aguero and Silva to be able to kill a ball you give them dead, with one touch. This just doesn't happen at times.

Exactly, Nasri must have messed up 3-4 simple first touches, 2 of which from standing for me, whereas Tevez caught one at full sprint and had it under control instantly.

Big spenders match up.

Indeed, the Xbox Live stuff and general interface is leagues ahead of the PS3.

I bought the PS3 just for the exclusives, and as a BluRay player. That's all it's used for now. No bad thing though, some of the exclusives are epic.

You don't have to delete your UK one or indeed continue to use the US one.
The FIFA demo was up yesterday in the US also.

Love the player performance stats after the game, hope they are in all modes.

Few player good/bad points:

Good:
KPB now 4* Skills
Balotelli now Med/Low

Bad:
No long throw for Hart
Aguero weak foot down to 4*
Pato down to 4*

I know, I've got a US account and a UK account on my PS3, I just don't see the point in creating one to access the demo a couple of hours earlier, it's up now in the UK anyway. I just can't understand how some people can be so impatient to play a measily demo.

Some of us like our FIFA more than others clearly

Its ok to see the graphics etc , but playing against the CPU is so boring and I can see UT gameplay been different to how the demo plays.

It would be great to have some games when Fifa 13 is out. We always had a good laugh in the tournaments. Are you getting early access?

Bilbo · 12 Sep 2012 at 21:53

I'm enjoying the demo but having an absolute mare scoring on Professional difficultly at the moment. Is anyone else finding scoring difficult in the demo?

Only when I notch it up to World Class it's harder than Legendary for me because they're so damn conservative with the ball and just stick 8 players behind the ball all the time. On professional difficulty what I like to do is use Man City/Arsenal and use Aguero/Tevez/Walcott out wide and whip crosses in for Giroud/Dzeko.

Also try taking on players 1v1 without skill moves you'll be surprised how good contextual dribbling is with the likes of Balotelli and David Silva you can create some space you wouldn't otherwise by taking players on.
