Guys thank for ur replies, I just jumped over to the ea fifa forums, there is 5 pages of ps3 users saying they can't get past this loading screen, awesome. Any ps3 users playing, because so far I haven't heard of any. I wanna punch my tv. Sorry for the rant.
Ugh. They better be prepared for a refund if it goes longer than a couple hours. Early release my a$$!
Also, some suggested deleting old fifa 12 files because I believe this game reads them but everyone is saying it didn't help the problem, just wanted to let u guys know b4 u deleted something u might wanna keep. Also if this is a widespread problem I don't think just re downloading is gunna help. This sounds like we got a "bad download" or maybe an incomplete file, who the f knows.
Interesting to hear the pace has been slowed from demo. That is a big plus.
1) is face up (aka crab walk) dribbling animation still forced on you when you get close to a defender and if so, has the distance at which this animation automatically kick in been reduced?
2) are refs calling any fouls and carding CPU ?
3) with 6 minute halves (which is default online I think) do you notice stamina having any effect on players - especially if you abuse sprint.
HALLELUJAH (x4) yes it does work. now i know it was a simple solution but come on now you would think ea would have their stuff together before today and not the day of.
-A lot of nice new animations, and overall new, more dynamic things happening on the pitch like guys sliding to keep balls in, little stumbles, hopping to turn 360 on a still ball without actually moving the ball.
-The new attacking AI is quite impressive. I caught a glimpse of Eden Hazard moving like crazy and managed to lob a ball to him as he blew past the defense.
-One addition I love about CM is the option to have Euro Competition in the first year, but also to option to draw realistic participants in the Champions Cup and Euro League respectively.
Check out Hazard's run here. Never saw anything like this in '12.
