FIFA 12 Available Now, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3)

Alright, the AI plays completely different from the demo... in a good way. So far I'm loving the game. First game 10 minute halves, slow, and World Class against FC Porto.

FC Porto dominated despite me dominating the ball. I had a 65% / 35% possession difference but couldn't find the net. Plus my defense left much to be desired. I do like the new defensive system a lot. You can't run around anymore and have to pick your tackles carefully. Playing the passing lanes and shutting down certain areas of the pitch is just as important this year as locking down the defender.

For those wondering how the AI plays on offense. They play like never before. They work the ball around beautifully and Porto took several shots outside the box which a couple ended up in the back of the net.

On to more FIFA! So far...

Although gameplay and camera angles are PERFECT. There are things that are not. mainly the feeling of the game.

It doesn't "feel" like an international sport.

Soccer is an international sport. The game should feel more like your playing in Europe etc.

For example. I played a MLS match... Perfect. Then I played in Spain. felt the exact same...the game is missing immersion.

You could gig on me but why is EASports plastered everywhere on adboards? Within the Fifa football club they have Visa as a sponsor why not have Visa on adboards?

I played a couple of matches in career mode and they do not have the adboard league stuff they had in years past even. Bad stuff

The World Cup games are miles ahead of this game as far as immersion.

But gameplay? Oh man is it pretty.

hard to argue with the game engine thats at play here. this is REAL

It's ok. Not great,not bad.
Doesn't seem to switch players properly and my teammate AI did some stupid things resulting in a goal. I won 4-1 anyway. Outside of that no particular complaints but nothing stood out either. There were some funny collisions and fall downs I suppose.

Yet again cutting offline content for Silver when I couldn't take a picture because I don't have XBL Gold. Can't upload highlights either. Which is still 100% UNACCEPTABLE as it was in Madden. I don't understand the inconsistancy either.

Have to be connected online all the time for the Support Your Club thing like the school deal in NCAA so it's useless to me but it seemed pretty neat.

AI is deadly accurate when it comes to shooting on World Class.
