Fifa 12 ....already

Rugby Challenge isn't the worst game I've ever played, not the best though.

Have you played the World cup game? That is 10 times worse

Tempted to have a dig for jonah lomu rugby!

The New Zealand band Naked and Famous feature on the new soundtrack of fifa 12

what time is the demo out?

Demo Links

Now for PC sometime tomorrow for xbox probably thurs for ps3. could be tomorrow for ps3 with a us account. it'll just be when the stores updates which is usually thurs.

uuggghhh ps3 late on everything

Do we have a club list yet? Might go fishing for one...

Right, fished this up, http://fifasoccerblog.com/blog/fifa-12-league-team-list/

most important part for me is:

"we seem to have lost the Czech and Turkish leagues with the latter being down to a change in the way the Turkish Football Federation handle licensing deals. Lots of links and further explanation in the comments."

Disappointing to be honest.. Really am hoping we'll get them back and the Argentinian, Greek, Ukrainian and Welsh leagues next time.

Galatasaray from Turkey are in "the rest of the world" section now however and I think Racing Club from Argentina were added into there as well?

Some good additions to the international team list as well with: Peru, Egypt, Ivory Coast, Colombia and Chile.

We have however lost Turkey and Czech Republic though.

Of course there should be all the new clubs who were promoted from leagues using a relegation system around the world as well!

Also addition of Timbers and Vancouver Whitecaps to the MLS and the loss of Fury in the A-league.


Here is the stadium list as well:

And last but not least, the song list:

Am stoked they put Thievery Corporation in, big fan.Azevo2011-09-13 22:38:35

New international teams is pretty cool

It is! Particularly Stoked for Egypt finally being in.

There really is so much they can add to the game, I think we'll probably be waiting till next gen consoles before we see like a constantly updating club/league type thing..

So keen for Portland Timbers!

Got the demo on my computer and downloading on my ps3 now.

I hear the teams in the demo are OM, Dortmund, Barcelona, ArseLOL, Man City and Inter Milan?

AC Milan not inter. and the games at Etihad Stadium.

I have to say the game's difficulty has been upped a few notches. the ball's physics have become more realistic imo. Looks really great. Still haven't managed to win though

I have heard the difficulty has been upped quite a bit, can't wait to get my hands on it.

I forget Man Cities stadium has the same name as Tards/Tarts

I downloaded the demo today, went to Unzip it and was informed the zip was corrupted :(. Will try downloading again tomorrow.

It was in a zip? :S Where'd ya get it off?

The official fifa page linked above. PC version btw

just downloaded the demo from playstation store. Like the look of it! 2 more weeks to go!

Fifa 12 Ultimate team ratings were leaked and this is what I could find, mixture of both New Zealanders and Wellington Phoenix players
Marco rojas - 63
Glen moss - 65
Winston Reid - 69
Simon Elliot - 65
Tim Brown - 62
Shane Smeltz - 72
Mark Paston - 63
Michael McGlinchey - 67
Andrew Boyens - 60
Michael Boxall - 63
Jake Gleeson - 59
Chris Wood - 66
Ryan Nelsen - 77
Paul Ifill - 70
Andrew Durante - 65
Rory Fallon - 63
Leo Bertos - 59
Chris Greenacre - 62
Tony Warner - 62

Smeltz sure has had an increase! I think Nelson has dropped by 1? Or is it the same?

Dropped by 1 I think. Good to see Marco better than the 55 he was in FIFA 111.

I thought Winston should of been in the early 70's? I mean he is a starting fullback for a top championship club

Marco Rojas ultimate team ratings...
trying to find others as we speck
Marco Rojas -
Pace = 87
Shooting = 43
Passing/kicking = 53
Dribbling/reflexes = 71
Defending = 28
Heading = 25

Shane Smeltz
Pace = 68
Shooting = 70
Passing/kicking = 40
Dribbling/reflexes = 64
Defending = 52
Heading = 79

Not sure if these are the in game ratings but if you go to Creation Centre
they have ratings for all the teams. good news for toto fans! he's still in the squad   

Making a player on the creation centre. do I go for long or short sleeves?

Short. Def short.

They had an option for winter cnditions. so went short for general. long for winter.

The awkward moment when David Mulligan is in the Phoenix >.> on ultimate team 2012

Video demonstrating the awesomeness of the new impact engine, interesting watch!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAR6I_T-uVc

I'm buying the game purely for the Impact Engine alone. It fixes so many of my little issues with previous FIFA games, where going for a tackle is a sure fire way to get the ball back. Now you have to be more patient, and use the new defensive controls.

EDIT: I didn't watch the video before I posted that...

^

hehe, I think some of those glitches are few and far between, I think the whole constant falling over thing, like your other players, opposition players etc. seems to be an issue with the flow of the game and how the A.I reacts after passing the pall, moving around the ball, getting in position etc.

Some of them look just darn funny/fun though. It is a great engine, but the thing with sports games, by the time they release this, the impact engine code (or just the game code in general) within it will probably be a month or so older than the current one they have (assuming they'll bring it into the next fifa game)

Anyone see any disclaimer within the demo saying 'its not a finished product yet'?Azevo2011-09-25 23:25:12

Yep. there's one on one of the loading screens.

Fifa 10 was awesome, but I thought Fifa 11 went backwards. Its just got too scrappy, and they seemed to have made it quite difficult to score, and the football was ugly. Also the Replay Theatre was just a joke, I mean you can only save five replays. And then EA act like they are giving you something, I mean come on you used to always be able to save replays and the only limit was how much disk space you had. No word about whether any of that has changed, knowing EA they will probably just drop it and not say anything about it.  Anyway I will get FIFA 12 but to be honest I have stopped trusting the reviewers, they all fall over themselves to give it a great review, but you need to play it for a while first, I just hope its good...

so where is the cheapest place to get it?
