Is there a better option than Origin to download FIFA 12? Seems like from some of the posts here and on the EAsports forums that Origin is really buggy. I have looked all over for the actual dvd game in stores but noone is carrying it this year. I bought a wired Xbox controller last night which works great with the demo. Looking forward to playing the full game tomorrow. Just don't want to get it from Origin if there are so many problems.

The only problem I had with Origin is it doesn't have a play-offline option like Steam. Every time you start the game up, it forces you to go online to play. So I just shut off my internet connection by hitting F2 on my laptop before starting; the game screams that it can't find an internet connection and tells me I need to connect to EA's servers, but then let's me in to play offline. Take that you stupid, ha!

Also if I'm not mistaken, the PC disk version requires that you install using Origin, just like some games and Steam. So either way you have to install and use it I believe (not 100% sure though).

Thanks, I'll just download it from the EA website then.

I went everywhere looking for the PC version in the retail box and could not find it. I finally broke down and bought a copy for the XBOX 360. I prefer PC games when they are available for a title.

The PC download version was available day 1, and available for pre-order weeks before release. No disk scratching, no muss, no fuss! No parking hassles or dealing with pushy people in the mall -- just sit at home in your comfy computer desk chair and let the game come to you!

I downloaded it last night. $16 for such an amazing game is a steal! No problem with origin downloading or playing the game. Runs great in 1080p with everything turned up to max.

For $16

. I'm regretting buying for ps3, where did you buy? And was it a download?
