FIFA 12

[Yozzer]

I have it on the hardest difficulty on the demo, I hardly ever touch the ball! The new defensive system definitely rewards players who don't just hold the A/X button all the time and I like the tug back system.

 

Finishing as well seems more crisp and rewarding, I've been tearing shit up with Zlatan as he seems to be able to score from all over the place. On FIFA 11 there seemed to be places in the box where it was actually impossible to score from whereas on FIFA 12 it is possible to score from all over the box.

I've gone from can't being able to defend on FIFA 11 to not been able to defend on FIFA 12. It's going to take a while to get use to this. It's impressive so far.

Played both demos for the 360.

 

Pro Evo is still the playability king even though it still has failed to improve presentation wise.

 

Have pre-ordered both (like I do every year) and will no doubt play both to death, especially online.

[James]

I really can't wait to play with Liverpool.

[Joe Le Taxi]

Enrique is a 76 apparently with Adam a 79.

[Yozzer]

I remember Voronin got a rating of 79 or 80 once, they can't half fuck up the stats sometimes.

[Joe Le Taxi]

 

Dodgy ratings there

[NelCarra]

Some of those ratings are bollocks! Biased twats!

[James]

I can live with Agger and Suarez. Gerrard and Carroll should have decreased and Carra, Pepe, Lucas, Kuyt should have increased. Kelly is pretty underrated as well.

[Wor Horse]

so if you were playing online:

 

Reina 84

 

Johnson 80

Carragher 80

Agger 84

Enrique 79

Downing 82

Gerrard 87

Lucas 78 (joke)

Bellamy 79 (he's 80 on the demo at City)

Suarez 85

Carroll 81

[Kopite Pete]

78 for Lucas. That's a joke if true. If he was a Manc. He would be 83 knowing FIFA.

[James]

Agger's only 83. I'd still play with Kuyt instead of Carroll I think.

[James]

78 for Lucas. That's a joke if true. If he was a Manc. He would be 83 knowing FIFA.

 

Indeed, I wonder how much Anderson and Cleverly got.

[NelCarra]

The makers of Fifa are all chelsea aint they?

[James]

Yea they were last year. Not sure if they're still the same producers. Very curious to see Torres' rating though. They probably gave him 'credit' and still rated him 83 or so. (He came from 87)

Are those ratings for sure? Or is someone guessing mate?

[James]

You mean the ratings in the pic Kopite posted? He got them from a mate who got the ratings right last year as well, he told me.

[Joe Le Taxi]

Yeah mate tweeted them to me. He got them last year but I dunno who off.

 

I'll ask if there's any other teams floating about.

76 and 75 is what I've heard.

This is probably what we'll get if we play Aurelio on manager mode.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Played the demo for the second time and starting to hate it already after cranking up the difficulty.

 

Shooting and passing are absolute wank. No point trying a long pass forward. Ridiculous trying to get the ball off the opposition. Must have had less than 25% possession on each game.

 

Just played 3 games, all ended up 0-0, all of which I won on penalties.

[General Dryness]

I wonder if they've fixed Glen Johnsons face? Very fucked up on 11.
