No effing shit. That's why I've been getting my ass handed to me. I have homing missiles coming from all directions even with the crazy passing I'm doong.
I look like a dumbass trying to contain.

WAS excited to pick up my copy after work and jump online.Sure can be. But then the same people complaining about this issue are the same people complaining about how easy the AI is on Legendary. I've seen complaints saying "I'm a pro and noobs are beating me with the GK switch."leng jai said:
The real solution is just to dial back the AI difficulty and put the H2H AI to Professional.

I love the glitch when getting out of a ranked match and I have Kaka as my arena player in a Philadelphia Union jersey. Oh EA, how do you guys keep these glitches in the game?
Oh, also that glitch when you score a goal in the arena and you're not allowed to skip the replay. Very fun.

For someone who's proud to have had a hand in helping improve a specific aspect of the game, you're always pretty bitter in this thread. lol no need for sarcasm.QVT said:
I agree with Jwong's sentiment, beating the AI is not impossible and I think people are just not used or simply have no tolerance to the new defending controls. Pretty clear how people have become so reliant on homing-missile presses to do their tacklings and runs.

So, I just tried the "let the AI defend" online and honestly wasn't that big of an advantage. They still made mistakes and you can definitely still beat them
Didn't go all out with the formation and shit but didn't see much wrong with it.

Then I guess we won't see you being level-headed in a fifa thread....ever? C'mon what else is new with EA haha Least you could do is post some valid criticisms along with those remarks. I hated FIFA11 so fuckin much (I barely played anything other than pro clubs, 1005 games ftw), that I truly believed they couldn't do anything to save this franchise. But even I can't deny the vast improvements they've made this year with regards to the core gameplay alone. Removing automated tackling was one of my requested changes for a long ass while and I'm so glad they had the balls to do it.QVT said:

Having fun with it, still annoying having a new tackle system yet ai can still easily still the ball without it.
I tried it as well after seeing that video. Promptly got two goals scored against me.Saren is Bad said:
(Cost me the win too.)
Maybe you have to do it with the right team and team-management setup. But with default Bayern against Barca I was getting rocked.
So whoever thinks this is an instant win button needs to try it himself.

Removing automated tackling treated the symptom, not the cause. The root of that issue is still there and totally, glaringly apparent in FIFA 12. Calling a second defender and holding down contain for the whole match and now just timing your tackles may be harder, but you're still not punished in the least for having two guys on every attacker at all times. There's still no space in the game, tactical defending has done nothing except inadvertently cause a nerf to passing, because the old passing system would have easily overpowered it.
Are you fucking serious?! The only way for me to play an actual season of, say, the Bundesliga is to purchase the Live Season? What the fuck EA :|
and my online code.. allows me to get onto the store? Are you fucking kidding me EA. I can't believe that I need a code to play some basic online modes... and to access a fucking store. What is this...

So what do you think the root of that issue is then? Because I was just focusing on a single gameplay mechanic, an archaic system of combining homing runs with automated tackles... which was an entire problem by itself that they've alleviated by removing one aspect of it.QVT said:
I don't see calling in a teammate press and the lack of space as two related issues because I STILL see defenders leaving gaping holes when my opponents bring in another defender to attack, a tactic I'm than happy to exploit. Also, I don't agree that teammate pressing is a fundamental problem because in a football game the task of pressing (NOT positioning) needs to be on you or the game risks becoming too assisted. The feature's a necessity in situations where you have to leave a defender that's close to the ball handler deselected in order to mark another player. And there's always been several drawbacks in place to teammate pressing; defensive holes that I mentioned and the risk of getting fouled because your cpu teammates tend to tackle from behind (the nature of homing missile runs means they're always playing catch up)
I really really like FIFA 12, especially now that the retail release is out. I'm finally doing well in H2H
- Tactical defending is great, you can really frustrate opponents with it
- Through balls are definitely not as deadly if you play conservative defending, so you won't get destroyed by the FIFA 11 tactic of lobbed through balls
- Goals get scored in a ton of ways! It's great: headers, screamers, nice passes in the box
- I love the impact stuff. It creates good comedy moments.
edit: only had one player quit on me. And that was when I was losing 1-0 but bossing the game around totally
edit2: the matchmaking works great! Haven't had a game against ManU/Barca/Real after the number of players increased after the retail launch.

Not an issue if you turn off auto-switching. I like to keep it at Air Balls myself.Soi-Fong said:
I believe if you drag it out pass the 5 minute mark in the game, it counts as a forfeit for the quitter.leng jai said:
Not as fun as playing it out, but you get some good out of it.
How well does the Online Setting "DNF-Setting: Equal to me" work for you guys?JWong said:
It should in principle filter out the quitters from the people that play the game to the end.
My DNF has at least one strike against it now, as I was having a legitimate connection error. I was even in the lead. Still 3-0 for the opponent.
EA must make a ping against both systems and see who went away. So you can't even disconnect your cable to get out of matches without taking a loss.

I'm hearing that some of the big name moves from the summer and even last January haven't had face updates which is pretty poor. Can anybody confirm?

How can I change the player with which I play in the training area? I had to create a Virtual Pro player or whatever it's called and now I have to play with him. I have no desire to play with him anytime soon, so he's shit and training is a joke with him.

This isn't particularly exclusive to FIFA 12, but has anyone noticed how some matches there is extra weight on your players? In some games, they feel very responsive and others I'm wondering why its slow.
*has nothing to do with weather conditions
Agreed. The head and neck are disproportionately thinner, and plus my guy turned white :/

Nothing amazingly cheap this year by the looks of it.
I have this paranoia about FIFA (and NHL) that they have the "player condition" in H2H matches at random, and doesn't show it to you. For example in my last game Sulejmani was on fire and stormed past defenders, whereas in the previous two games I subbed him out as he was not getting anything done.Meus Renaissance said:

FIFA 12 - Nintendo 3DS gameplay (sorry for the reflections)
I'll be reviewing this one in some days. I really liked the touch shoot (live goal view from striker's eyes, you touch the exact point), but there are no online matches and the game looked ugly and slow.

Been playing the demo again. I can't bring myself to buy this at full price.
Unless someone can tell me what the gameplay sliders are so I can try and fix the problems I have with it?
Edit: nvm
