These were posted in another thread and have helped me out a ton, especially with defense.

Yeah, honestly this has been my biggest problem with the series in the past. The AI was about extreme pressure and tackling at every point on the field. It was never realistic.

Now you can actually stop with the ball for a moment and as long as you aren't closer to goal the AI won't be all over you. It also punishes you for being too aggressive. You can actually stop with the ball and look for a play as long as you aren't close to goal, just like in the real game. They take away your passing options, not attack you like a maniac.

I'm loving it, even if it took me a bunch of games to score my first goal.

Quick question...Why does my player randomly decide to chip it sometimes. I KNOW I'm not holding down L1 (LB) but he will chip it anyways....is there a way to change this? Also, if there is a loose ball, a lot of times my players will run away from it or back away and not run to it, anyway to change this too?

Minor Annoyance: Are you sure you want to simulate until this point in time. Only the UTMOST important messages will be received.

1 day later: 4th string defender, "Hey coach, thanks for letting me be on the team!"

I am mainly a PES player but I am a soccer fan 1st so I want to buy this game also.

My question is that based on what I have been reading, are there penalties/fouls? Or are there just not enough of them?

You'll get at most a total of 3-4 fouls a game. Cards are a non-entity, as a matter of fact I've seen one red card....ever and I've had the game since January

Thanks for answering so quickly..... One more if you don't mind? I like to play as close to 45 min halves as possible, now would that increase the fouls? The cards I see there is nothing you can do about it

I'm sure it would, considering I only play 15 minute halves. I must say this as well, despite the issues with the fouls, FIFA 12 is without a doubt my favorite sports game on 360. It really is a phenomenal game, even with it's few issues. Its just frustrating because its so close to being the ultimate game. I was hoping the Euro game would add that little extra that FIFA 12 needed, but sadly it will not making it a non-buy for me.

As I've mentioned several times, creating custom CPU tactics and setting teams' Aggression to 80+ will produce cards. I also edited players' Aggression ratings, and I typically see 2-4 cards against the CPU every game. In other words, it takes some editing but cards are far from a non-entity as you put it.

BIG C, the game allows 20 min halfs, that's it. And of course playing more minutes creates more fouls/cards. But there's no programming correlation between raising the half length = changing the game's foul logic.

But they are a non-entity, because there aren't many people with the time or quite frankly the will to go to such extremes, and make no mistake editing thousands of players one by one is extreme and something I am not going nor should I have to do. As for editing tactics, it has no effect(by itself, it may with edited player ratings) as I've said before. I and quite a few others have tried it.

Raising CPU teams' Defense Aggression absolutely helps produce more CPU fouls and cards. But I understand that people would rather not spend the time editing. Their choice of course. Meanwhile I'm happily enjoying the game and seeing yellow and even red cards against the CPU, every single game.

I hear ya! And make no mistake, I really love the game. Although I would like to see more fouls without having to edit its surely not a game breaker. FIFA 12 is without a doubt my favorite sports game this generation and I am anxiously awaiting the next installment.

Anyone who has the PC version simply must try regularcat's gameplay mod, available on soccer gaming. I thought the default gameplay was very good, but his gameplay mod raises it to a whole new level. Among other things he overhauled the shooting, and yesterday I blasted a 50 yard strike into the top corner of the net. Never came close to doing that in any other soccer game. FIFA 12 with his gameplay mod is simply the most enjoyable sports game I've ever played.
