The lack of fouls is the biggest thing for me right now. EA historically releases one and one patch only in November but it's usually never geared towards gameplay, at all.

So, I have a feeling we might have to live with it.

Has anybody else discovered holding down L1 (PS3) while moving with the ball? It's really tight control and is a great addition. I draw a lot of fouls using it

Unless fifa 13 changes the game drastically, It will be 12 for me for awhile.

The games really clean and gorgeous looking.

More I play this game the more I realize that this is really plays somewhat better with human vs. human and even that is marginally enjoyable for me but even versus other people I notice some weird tackle animations and players flinging themselves, it gives me a good laugh though. I think its a good game for what it is but its not for me. I haven't tried other modes yet but later tonight I will run a career mode with Newcastle United or Feyenoord and see how that is like.

My man got tripped in the box and there was no call at all.
That's the first horrifically bad one I've seen,I'm talking NHL 12 horrific. Seems rare at least.
Playing in the snow is pretty cool.

Having fun overall but still not seeing anything particularly great about it. That said I would've had it at a 7 yesterday and it's up to a 7.5 today. Maybe it's one of those more you play it the better it gets deals.

Yeah, it kind of sucks right now. The ref seems way too lenient and willing to play the advantage. That said, I feel like this has been a common issue with the series where every other year we default back to the issue with lack of fouls/resultant free kicks. Last year I felt the incidence of both was solid.

Love the gameplay and how there are multiple ways to score. You have to work on drawing fouls using L1 or L2... I draw about three a game near the box. Anyone know what is the norm 'should' be?

is English commentary not available when playing as RM at the Bernabeau? It aint working for me. Only Spanish works.
