So, I bought FIFA 12 and it arrived on the same day it was released. I didn't expect that nor plan for it as it was the same day I received my early access to the BF3 Open Beta. Nevertheless, I went with the BF3 beta and left FIFA 12 for the next day. I like playing as one player, preferably a created player reflecting me, so I immediately jumped into the Career Mode to test things out. I've heard many people mention this, but the conclusion seems to be the same with the majority: the new tactical defense makes things difficult in the beginning, but as soon as you learn to use it it becomes a lot better. I've somewhat experienced this as I play as a Centre in Career Mode. I usually don't get too close to our own goal under normal circumstances. I really don't have anything negative about the game except for that, like all EA Sports games I've played, the passing could be a little better.
I like the new player interactions and movements. It adds a lot more realism to the game than FIFA 11 had. The commentary could be improved a great deal, I think, but it's players preference. Personally, I enjoy hearing what the commentators have to say throughout the match. Not a big deal as I could always just put on some music and play that way. The dribbling tricks remained pretty much the same so there wasn't much new learning to do in terms of how to do it on your controller. I've always liked the small amount of time you get to practice before a match. I use that to practice those dribbling moves just in case I get into that kind of situation. I have yet to master all of the celebrations, but those are also cool to play around with. The way the ball interacts with the environment and players seems to also be much more realistic. It bounces slightly more to reflect its real life counterpart. Scoring is always fun so definitely try out all of the ways to do so as well. I've had some exciting goals where you actually feel like you worked for the goal.
Well, I'm not too far into my Career yet, but I will update more as I go further. Oh, before I forget. FIFA 12 also has this feature that connects all FIFA 12 players for each of their favorite teams and every week a new winner is announced. I'm not sure if they reward that team/those players, but that would be pretty cool in the future. If you like soccer, football, futbol, or whatever you call it, definitely check this game out.
Happy Gaming!
