PlayStation LifeStyle - Fifa 12 Review

It’s that time of year again – time for the leaves to change colors, temperatures to fall, days to become shorter, and, of course, time for some football soccer! FIFA has remained the top of the crown when it comes to video game incarnations of footy, with PES breathing right down its neck. This year, EA Sports has taken a bold move, and completely redone its defensive game. But do the major changes to its control style help or hurt the king of the pitch? Find out in our review!

Clearly not very much has been updated if they're using last year's logo. Come on EA, at least MS Paint a 2 over the second 1.

LOL
Everyone keeps saying that not much has been changed, well I've been purchasing all the FIFA's since 2002, and SO much has changed since last years version.
First of all, tactical defending means that when you're playing online, the opposing team can't just skill their way past you, if you hit circle/B at the right time, you can easily stop them.
Also, the career mode is much, much more advanced this year, there's training injuries, scouting teams, youth academy, transfer deadline day and much more!!
There's also 4 commentators now, Martin Tyler and Alan Smith do the Premiership, while Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend do the tournament matches.
The Legendary difficultly is much more difficult than last year, I would usually dominate Blackburn in FIFA 11, but in this game, they won against me 3-2 !!
Online play has less lag compared to last years version.
The build up to the match has also changed, you can also easily swap out your team in career mode, unlike last year where you had to manually select each player and then swap them.
Online seasons between you and your mates, EA SPORTS Football Club is a really nice feature aswell.

There's literally SO MUCH changes, it's unbelievable!
So worth the £40.

Originally, the logo in this story was the Fifa 2011 logo. ;)

Shame the game still has freezing issues in mid match. This is not impressive, nor is the over skilled A.I in the lower leagues and the dumb team A.I in the lower leagues.
Play Fifa 12 as a top club and yes it recreates the game well, play as the lower league teams and it's still got a way to go.

Hilarious things happen when video-game physics go wrong

DSOGaming writes: "This article was inspired by a video that Elias Peppas shared with me. YouTube’s member ‘HelixSnake’ made a compilation of some epic physics fails from Skate 3. 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 that Saints Row 3 one :p -- Damn now I feel like playing the game again..

bayport4564d ago (Edited 4564d ago )

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"

PS3Freak4564d ago

I used to play a lot of Skate 3, so watching that entire video made me cry laughing.

SolidStoner4564d ago

I never played football games, I didn't know they are so gay!

knowyourstuff4564d ago

When game physics go wrong?

More like when game physics go *right* lol

ado9084564d ago

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

Myst4564d ago

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*

Snookies124565d ago

LOL! That freaking Skate 3 video collection was just amazing... I want that game now...

Myst4565d ago

Lmfao I just saw it and I haven't laughed that hard in a while my eyes are watery.

Relientk774564d ago

Skate 3 looks fun haha

like all those clips were great

no_more_heroes4565d ago

LOLOL THAT was the funniest thing I've ever seen!!! Especially the Skate 3 compilation!!!

wastedcells4565d ago (Edited 4565d ago )

That was good times. Laughed so hard it made me want to search for more.

Sp1d3ynut4564d ago

I don't know that it's truly a bug....it is a Japanese game, after all. ;)

EA dodges accusations of FIFA 12/13 Wii being the same game

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?

badz1494587d ago

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!

dark-hollow4587d ago (Edited 4587d ago )

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.

TheColbertinator4587d ago

lol EA repackaging old games into the new version each year?

Wait until the Madden fans find out...oh wait nevermind.

GillHarrison4587d ago

They literally mean the same game, with just updated rosters and logos. No other changes whatsoever.

TheColbertinator4587d ago

EA strikes again.

EA 18 - Gamers 0

profgerbik4587d ago (Edited 4587d ago )

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?

wastedcells4587d ago

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.

FIFA 13: 8 FIFA 12 Star Players You Should Consider Again

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.
