David Rutter answers gamers most popular questions about the core gameplay features in FIFA 12.
Here’s some of the things we learnt.
Tactical Defending removes the classic “homing missile” style defending and transforms the way you’ll play without the ball.
Headed Goals will not be as easy as in past games. Keepers and defending are much improved, as well as brand new in air collisions will make it much more difficult.
Fast throw-in’s have made it into this years FIFA.
A new drop ball mechanic has been introduced to accurately simulate injuries and other certain areas.
One of the major improvements is “precision dribbling” with a much better “close control mechanic”.
The AI (both in terms of AI in multiplayer and single player) has been much improved.

And this made us wonder; what could possibly go wrong in a video-game when physics engine go insane? Well, the answer is quite simple. You can get some gay stuff thanks to the Impact Engine of Fifa 12 & 13, spinning cars, boobs that can go up and down, and games with non-existent collisions (yeah, we’re talking about the legendary ‘Big Rigs’ game)."
Lol the Skate 3 vid looked more like a Garry's Mod vid
Lol @ one of the youtube comments
"Go home Physics, you're drunk"
I used to play a lot of Skate 3, so watching that entire video made me cry laughing.
Idk why you got 7 disagree's. Although I thought the skating vid was funny especially when the guy fixes the bench and puts it back in place and another guy runs into it and knocks the bench and him over
Meh doesn't worry me much anymore. People disagree just to do so, to rile people's nerves or something else. I've come to expect it
*shrugs*
LOL! That freaking Skate 3 video collection was just amazing... I want that game now...
LOLOL THAT was the funniest thing I've ever seen!!! Especially the Skate 3 compilation!!!
That was good times. Laughed so hard it made me want to search for more.
Go Nintendo - When EA was contacted about FIFA 12 being largely repackaged as FIFA 13 for Wii, here's what a rep had to say.
Go Nintendo seems to be scratching for news here. Sure, it probably is the same game, but what do you expect with Wii?
this has been going on the PSP for so long! why complain now? it's no surprise that EA is not going to invest too much for a console that is in its way out and Wii versions are always just like the PS2 and PSP versions - cheap money grabbing ports! for FIFA, the money is always on 360 and PS3 since 2008!
I'm not defending EA here but that's what happen when even Nintendo has abandoned the Wii now!
The problem is how much they ask for it.
$20-$40 is steep for this lazy repackaging and they take advantage of the ignorance of those who buy it.
if you don't want to invest in a dying system then don't bother at all, but don't rip off those who's still game on these systems and expect nobody to complain.
lol EA repackaging old games into the new version each year?
Wait until the Madden fans find out...oh wait nevermind.
They literally mean the same game, with just updated rosters and logos. No other changes whatsoever.
Wow EA and here I actually gave you a little credit for Fifa 13.
Now I feel stupid. How are companies able to just rob people like this? Actually getting away with it being caught red handed also?
Can someone sue these basterds already, charging for online to play in old games, now this? Is this not enough proof they are greedy as shit?
Or am I missing something here?
They probably don't even sell enough copies on wii to justify any major effort. They just release it with an updated roster for those who missed last years or new comers.
WC - Now that EA Sports have released this year’s addition to the FIFA franchise – and picked up a five star review from us in response – it’s time to get under the skin of FIFA 13, and cater to those players who will have already began to log some serious hours not only in online play against friends, but also in Career Mode and building their Ultimate Team from the ground up. And that means looking a lot closer at the players in the game, and at EA Sports’ ratings decisions.
Sounds promising. If it all WORKS PROPERLY, then I might actually enjoy playing FIFA again, 'cuz right now it's only the lesser of two pustule-covered evils to me.
Keywords: "to me", as in, don't take it personally.
For me personally Fifa is the best thing that happened to football simulations this generation. Pro Evolution Soccer fell behind and honestly i don't think that they'll ever catch up if the Fifa developers keeps on innovating like this.
