Judging from the many positive previews already written, I think FIFA 12 will be very hard to top. But there has been a tendency among US gaming sites to look more towards NBA2k, MLB The Show and Madden as soccer just isn't popular enough in the US -- at least not yet.

It's a very interesting PR plan to be sure. I'm definitely interested in checking out the product, it's a shame it's still a few months off.

I never buy into the hype, we are talking about EA here. I would be happy with an improved MM/CM where the manager doesn't get sacked after going 20-0-0 to start the season. Unrealistic firings for no reason whatsoever has been ruining my MM for years, I hope EA can fix the crap.
