thanks to kg, qb and peigone for the tips

will definitely try them out

[Phobia]

I HATE this game so much. They have ruined Fifa in my opinion. I hate the damn online so much and all the cheese I could smash and break the disk in a thousand pieces. It takes everything for this post not to contain nothing but ***** this ********* ****** game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sad thing I want to like it but there is just so much that makes my blood boil. Everyone just rushes and runs into you over and over online. No fouls are ever called and the play style now is to use the physics to their advantage by just steam rolling people.

Then the high pressure fly on **** style of defense everyone uses makes me want to pull my hair out.

Make matters worse I am HORRIBLE at the game now apparently even though I was pretty good at world cup. Even went undefeated for a nice long span online in that game. Currently this new piece of crap gameplay we have now. I am 3-1-16.

I am ranting and wanting to smash the game. I just got stomped to a team 4-0 which was nothing but 50 and low 60 rated players. While I am rocking plenty of golds and silvers in the 80s. Yet the constant run over your players the moment the ball gets even remotely close to your player makes me want to scream!!! I am recording the next match like this just to show the stupidness that plagues this games online arena.

Toys R Us has FIFA 12 (and other sports titles) for $40 this week. Brought the ad to Wal Mart (due to the closest Toys R Us being 30 miles from my house) and they price matched it for me

This game is great. I really like the new camera angle. Visually it is much better. Only played one game so far, looking forward to really getting into it this week

I just got beat 9 - 0 in a online game. Worst part the guys team was a 60 overall.

This is flat out stupid. I am trying and trying and trying to figure out the game. I have never struggled so much with any game ever. Maybe Demo souls was the closest thing to being as frustrating as this game is. I have no words to explain how much I am hating this game.

5-1-20 record Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa Funnnnnnnnnnn

Physic engine has flat out ruined this game. Worst Fifa I have ever played.

Edit: another loss
Edit: and another loss
Edit: won another finally. Of course the guy quits after i get up two goals
Edit: and another loss!!!! Most frustrating game I have ever played. I am going to end up selling it if they don't patch and fix this horrible physic crap

Positioning on goal kicks is horrible. Here's what often plays out:

Goal kick for me
Keeper kicks it to around midfield
CPU wins a monster header
Ball magically lands at their Strikers feet who is unmarked in acres of space
CB's are still hugging the box
ST's are able to control, turn, and put pressure on my backline

Maybe it's just the poor positioning of CB's in general as I've seen them make braindead decisions. They still play way too far off ST's allowing them to control and turn. Contain doesn't mean you allow the attacker to turn and dribble forward, it means you force them into a sideways or backwards pass. You most certainly do not contain in and around your own box. You play on the attackers shoulder, preferably their stronger or inside foot. I'll do everything I can to keep my attacker from getting off a shot but they will pass to another attacker and my CPU controlled defender will be playing a few yards behind him.

Tactical Defending is Tactically Deficient

The game is completely broken. I get frustrated with some games like madden or ncaa cause of stupid stuff that happens but no where even remotely close to how insanely pissed I get at this game. It is sooo screwed up on so many levels. Worst fifa by far and a joke of a online experience. I bought the game entirely for ultimate team and all I want to do now is smash the game into a million pieces after every match. Every match is litter wonky physics, brain dead AI, GK abusers, or constant pressure run you over to the ground users. ZERO fun trying to play the game online.

I will continue to take a loss after loss after loss after loss but if I can't figure the game out I will sell it for sure.

I went back to Legacy Defending in my last CM game as Arsenal against Liverpool. Muuuuuch better now.

phobia, if you suck at the game it doesn't necessarily mean the game itself sucks.

haters gonna hate. fifa 12 is the best football game ever imo, by a very long margin.
