You're right Q. The initial collision often looks good but then they go into some possessed type animations, often when they try to get on their feet. They need to refine the player recognition to avoid contact when they are trying to get to their feet. It reminds me of NCAA where post-play players will walk into each other.

Isn't that scene where Messi falls a celebration? I'm pretty sure I did it all the time in FiFa World Cup2010.

Yes, the dead Messi is the "brick fall" celebration. The close up camera cut is a bit much...

Have you played Backbreaker: Vengeance on Xbox Live Arcade?

Easily the best collisions in a video game to date.

I love the FIFA series but I'm going to wait on this one to be patched/tuned. Between NCAA and Madden this year I've grown really tired of EA and the buggy state of their games.

# 28 cashless @ 09/20/11 07:52 PM

That's ****ing embarrassing.

Supposedly, according to EA's twitter, the officiating will be better in full version of the game and the glitchy collisions will be less frequent or less severe.

This video really worries me. If FIFA 12 is a bad, buggy mess, after all the poor patches and pitfalls of NCAA Football 12, EA will find themselves in a deep, deep hole.

Maybe among those die-hard gamers who go on message boards to find the latest up to date news. But among those who are casual gamers, they'll looked passed the bugs and continue to buy EA games.

I've never seen anything close to what's in this video and I've been playing the demo a lot every day since it's come out. To anyone who's worried about every game being like this I wouldn't worry too much.

Yeah, this is probably a tad more accurate than the 'this game will be a mess and the series will be canceled' approach. It's still jarring to see it, even if it only happens in a small percentage of games in based off an unfinished build. I guess we'll know soon enough how much of an, ahem, impact it has on the final game.

Two words: typically EA!

Yes, there's no reason to get all Chicken Little over a few bloopers.

I've yet to see anything this glitchy from my time with the demo. The collisions in the demo are pretty solid for the most part. Definitely the best going right now in a sports franchise besides Backbreaker.

# 36 rckabillyRaider @ 09/21/11 02:37 PM

The over the top collisions are rare. I've only had one odd collision which was the video I posted earlier and thats it. I doubt it will be a major issue , if an issue at all.

# 37 guaps @ 09/22/11 10:31 AM

While I've have played a lot of games in the demo, I have rarely seen stuff like this. Sure it might happen, but if FIFA 12 plays well 99.99% of the time, I'm not going to get upset about the last 0.01% of weird stuff happening.

However, watching the video I see nothing wrong about the clip starting at 0:42
