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

I kinda got use to defending, I just switched to Legendary recently. However, I still get caught out by players turning on a dime.

I haven't seen a single red card since I've started playing. Now that the AI doesn't seem to slide tackle I can't see how I will ever see one either.

Anybody else have any luck?

I've seen the computer slide. Matter of fact I got taken out a couple times which resulted in a yellow. Rare occurrences. Hopefully a patch fixes this.

As far as a red, haven't seen it.

I've only played online, but I was getting killed when I first started, letting up about 3 or 4 goals a game. In past FIFA's, I always would rely on "B" to have a teammate charge the player with the ball. I shuffled the controls around, moving tackle to "A", contain to "RB", and teammate contain to "B". Now, when I press B, a teammate charges the player with the ball but doesn't tackle him, he contains him, and with my controlled player nearby, I'm doing better on defense. I'm just so used to pressing B than RB, so the controller mapping change has helped me. I played a 0-0 game, which I though would be impossible at first.

certainly not for everyone, but it's not just one game you get to play early for your $25, you're getting six games early, so if you play all six, it's about $4.50 per game to play early, not bad at all IMO. if you don't play all the games in it, it's not a good deal.

getting back to the impressions, it helped me figure out a better control scheme before release, so i got a little better at defense in this early period.

I will also add that sliders made this game much better for me as well. On Semi Pro I can typically crush the CPU, but get slammed by the CPU on Pro. With slider edits I really have found a developing "sweet spot" on Pro now.

Thanks to whoever posted their thoughts in the slider discussion.

I just wish we had a foul slider of sorts. Hopefully, a patch/tuner will address that area ASAP.

Unfortunately this game doesn't have turners. Or they're not visible like in the other EA games.

That's a real shame. If this game had a more realistic rate of fouls it would be simply immense. The more I play the more I'm enjoying myself.
