FIFA 12 Interview with Santiago Jaramillo, Gameplay Producer (Gaming Illustrated)

Wow really liked this interview and the game sounds amazing. I'm a soccer noob and was considering PES but not anymore. I just preordered FIFA from Amazon. So looking forward to this.

I'm excited to try it.

That said, FIFA needs to get off this mechanical approach to the beautiful game. Leave the features for the programmers, and just present it to the consumers as realistic gameplay. IF you're going to get technical, take it from the standpoint of the manager, not a player.

Super Glock, you wont regret it. One of the best games currently out. I'm a former die-hard American NCAA Football fan - who now is a FIFA freak.

I'm interested in the "scenarios" he mentioned. I was telling someone the other day "Wouldn't it be fun to start up Fifa 12 as Arsenal, and see you have several major player transferred and oodles of cash, and a goal is to bring in two major replacements.' Or taking on a club with "financial troubles" and having to transfer players for the balance sheet but still avoid relegation. Things along those lines would be fun. I know the "board" tells me each year "top 10" or "win the league" in previous iterations. Would like feel more of the pains (and rewards) of managing a club.
