Re: Official FIFA 12 Thread

[spanky]

I just played a guy on FIFA 11, finished 4-4 and he chose to end the match as a draw... It's not like he was leaving or anything, he chose "yes" for a rematch right after... I have never seen that type of pu++yness b4, god damn... What a b++ch move

Anybody who does that should get banned from online play, honestly... Or they should allow you to filter what type of games you want prior, F this agreeing BS...

chill out man, if you guys choose different options doesnt mean that one of of them is wrong.....

[Guest]

It's one thing if swagg wanted PKs and his opponent wanted extra time. I dislike the option to draw the match. I actually played a guy the other night, games ends 2-2 (I scored in the 90th). This guy actually picked up two red cards and still played out the match. I don't think I have ever come across someone deciding to draw a match.

[McLewis]

Well they normally do it because both sides get points towards upping their skill levels.....that's why they do it. They dont' want to risk the chance of them losing and then getting demoted down a level.

Fifa 11 UT I believe this was like 2 months ago maybe. My players are all the bundesliga ones, crazy game this was. Haven't played in forever since my controller broke :/

What ? You don't think that's a b+++h move? I don't understand how ANYONE would play for a draw.. What's the point of playing if you don't want to win.. The fact that he wanted a rematch right after pissed me off, of course I didn't give him one

I would have agreed on any of the two forms of extra time, penalty or not.. I do prefer the penalty shoot out though, in FIFA 11 it actually takes some skill and composure

Exactly, he was scared to lose points = he's a p+++y, he knew he was going to lose.. He was getting dominated, 3 of his 4 goals came off of a lucky bounce

[Gil]

What I'd really like for them to improve is the passing. I'm good enough to deal with it these days but the long though ball to a striker from kick off and blind passing are ridiculous. Blind passing totally ruined FIFA 11 IMO.

Don't know if I can describe the properly but I hope they can change that annoying moment when your player controls the ball on the turn but then stops for like 2-3 seconds before you can move him. Ruins alot of counterattacks.

[Sushi Master]

That's due to whatever player's agility and first touch, Gil. If he's not agile he's gonna turn like an elephant. Ball control and the skill stars I think also have to do with it. Try hitting the right stick once you get the ball for better first touch.

If you're using Chelsea, I feel your pain. I've tried them out a few times and the whole team feels so sluggish, although they are beasts.

[Sir Psycho]

looks like career mode has changed.. hopefully EA is not building us up only to let us down

[RealGunner]

hopefully they fix that glitch where u cant use custom tactics on MM because that will result in getting those orange dots and undefined players


thats been happening since fifa 09

[Sir Psycho]

here are some of the new features

Huh? I use custom tactics just fine, what are the orange dots you speak of lol

[LeSwagg James]

You guys know how EA Sports "listens to our concerns" and tries to implement things the fans of the series want.. How do we actually get through to them? Is there an official FIFA forum where the developers actually read whats posted?

[Sir Psycho]

my guess is those end up like a child's letter to Santa Clause ...

but on a serious note try EA's official FIFA forum

So this little tidbit apparently got lost in translation me thinks:

From GameInformer -

EA Sports has parted ways with former color commentator Andy Grey, who was sacked by Sky Sports earlier this year for making a series of sexist comments.

Apparently Grey's long-standing relationship with EA Sports, which started in FIFA 97, couldn't keep him gainfully employed. In his place, former England player and current Sky Sports pundit Alan Smith is joining the booth with play-by-play man Martin Tyler.

“The natural chemistry that Martin and I have developed working live matches for TV has transferred very well to the virtual broadcast booth,” Smith said in a press release. “I’m really looking forward to FIFA fans hearing our work this fall as we bring all the match day emotion and excitement to this year’s game.”

In addition to the color commentary swap, EA Canada is adding a second broadcasting team for tournament games for FIFA 12. Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend will call the big matches to give them an additional air of importance. Play-by-play man Tyldesley is no stranger to the series, having worked with Andy Grey in FIFA 06 and 07. If you end up preferring one team over the other, you can set them as the default for any matches.

FIFA 12 hits the pitch on September 27.

-----------------

SMH @ them spelling his name wrong, but yeah....this sucks honestly. I personally have enjoyed hearing Gray commentate....especially about clubs he probably doesn't know anything about in real life lol.

Alan Smith isn't bad but I do like Tyldesley, so I'll probably end up using him and Townsend. Cool to have the option of both though.

I did the same thing, sold my Fifa 11, and now I'm back to playing Fifa 10. The ping-pong/blind passing is fun, but does get old when you are playing someone.

The good part about Fifa 10 though, in Career Mode, all young players grow. 92 Overall Pato, ftw.

[The Madrid One]

i guess its part of the fun in fifa 11 to be able to pass like that, but its a problem in all fifa games including fifa 11, its a counter attacking game for the most part where if you are good enough to ping pong pass the ball until you make the goal you will win.

you cant really play like barcelona in this game, and i guess thats part of it being a game, but when you are good and playing another pro then it all seems kind of fast and not really fundamental.. idk

ive played a couple of games of pes and i liked it seems a bit more to what i think is better but meh...

[Onyx]

They need to make it more realistic. FIFA currently is all about speed, strength and counter-attacking.

Playmakers don't really make much of a difference.

i love spraying through balls with xavi and ganso.

[Onyx]

Well any player can pick out a simple through ball on the counter-attack. When it's not a counter-attack no ones makes any intelligent runs in order for a through ball to happen.

[Ganso]

in counter attacks when there is free space,yes.but when its all normal against a tough defense you need players like xavi to give good through balls and long throw ins

[Onyx]

True, but the attackers don't make clever runs.
