Haydos Posted 14 September 2011 Posted 14 September 2011 My first thoughts, why change the defending of FIFA? This new defending system will take some getting used to. I like the 'call for assitance' if you know how to use this you might not need to tackle, I've learnt how to use it pretty well in the first few games already. Not made many tackles just pressuring the opposition to get the ball back. Passing is realistic. I like it apart from the defending... It just makes it better because holding down A is no longer like an auto-defend button. All that's different now is you actually control the tackling part of this rather than the computer doing it all for you perfectly. I think this will be bigger benefit in player v player as you'll be able to trick your opponent rather than them just holding A constantly.
Adster Posted 14 September 2011 Posted 14 September 2011 With the defending, EA fixed a problem that wasn't broke. At first sight, the way to defend is absolutely shocking, I can't even control my speed when going to tackle. I'm a little bit better at it now but it'll take some time getting used to. I'll get used to it when the game comes out, switching back to classic defending for now.

Unless your sprinting toward the player with the ball I don't really get what you're saying.

Unless your sprinting toward the player with the ball I don't really get what you're saying. Sorry, I probably worded it wrong. What I meant was when i'm running to a player to try to tackle him I can't stay with him, i'll go to far or the AL will skill me. When i'm pressing x (a for xbox) the Al will just turn me or play an easy pass to a player then go on and score. It's probably just me but I've conceded some shit, shit goals playing this demo, because I just can't figure out how to defend properly. When I do what I think is right, it just fails.
Brown Fox Posted 15 September 2011 Posted 15 September 2011 The defending will make the game loads better. At the moment it's impossible but it just makes it much more realistic rather than flying in holding A! Passing is quality though. Silva can land the ball on the toes of anyone in front of him. Graphics are also very good. Just hope the soundtrack is better than last years!

Haydos Posted 15 September 2011 Posted 15 September 2011 I liked the soundtrack last year. This one looks pretty decent. Forgot to mention the graphics as well, much better player modelling. One thing that is a bit annoying is with manual through balls (lofted and ground), they seem to go a lot further with the same amount of power you'd press on 10. Maybe it's a good thing and you can just make little through passes with the the touch of a button, something i'll probs get used to.
GLC Posted 15 September 2011 Author Posted 15 September 2011 Anyone else noticed when the AI gets a yellow card the player backs off a little more?
The Doctor Posted 15 September 2011 Posted 15 September 2011 Anyone else noticed when the AI gets a yellow card the player backs off a little more? Not really, but that sounds a lot better than previous versions. Far more realistic.
dave_the_fox Posted 15 September 2011 Posted 15 September 2011 Not really, but that sounds a lot better than previous versions. Far more realistic. That's awesome! A moan of mine is why does it take the computer so long to take a goal kick?
DB11 Posted 15 September 2011 Posted 15 September 2011 Has anyone ever committed a foul by shirt pulling? I'm trying to, but I just can't!
Brown Fox Posted 15 September 2011 Posted 15 September 2011 I posted the sound track a few pages back Ah cheers just saw that now

Where did you find this from? Ultimate team players are always higher though?

Ashley Posted 15 September 2011 Posted 15 September 2011 Se7ensins - write 'fifa 12 ultimate team leaked' into google and find the page on their site Thanks. But they might be going off FUT ratings at the moment because Beckford is a 76 now....
CKB Posted 15 September 2011 Posted 15 September 2011 The speed is another issue imo, it's still way fast for my liking! even on slow.. You would have thought with Precision Dribbling being implemented in this version the speed would have gone down a tad.. I see no difference in speed then i did in Fifa 11 and that's not a good thing I'm trying not to moan about it i know it's only a demo but i really am not impressed, infact if the full release doesn't sort out a few things it could be the year i go without a footie game
Tom17LCFC Posted 15 September 2011 Posted 15 September 2011 Think the demo's quality! Been getting PES for years, but it's got so so sh*t in the last few versions. Dead set on getting FIFA this year. What is Ultimate Team btw? Not had a FIFA game since 04 on ps1, so haven't got a clue!

What is Ultimate Team btw? Not had a FIFA game since 04 on ps1, so haven't got a clue! Remember when you was a child at School? You used to buy football stickers to stick in your book, then the swaps you had you'd swap with your friends? FIFA Ultimate Team is the same as this. You buy 'Packs' with the coins you make in games. There are four different packs you can purchase; 'Bronze Pack, Silver Pack, Gold Pack & Gold Premimum pack' different players have different ratings which then they go into packs. Example. Frank Moussa - Bronze Card rating of 60 Paul Gallagher - Silver Card rating of 69? Jermaine Beckford - Gold Card rating of 76 Leo Messi - Gold/Gold Premimum rating of 90+ Different players are worth different ammount of coins, you earn coins by playing games. Coins allow you to buy players, kits, managers, stadiums, player cards and contracts. You could also use Microsoft points to buy packs NOT PLAYERS though. Google it, I'm sure it'll explain FUT better than I have.

Basingstoke Fox Posted 15 September 2011 Posted 15 September 2011 The thing I really, really don't like is that you have to press RB/R1 to get your teammate to pressure the opposition , so if you want to mark somebody else while you send the other player to tackle them, you can't sprint, well. its bloody weird! That's literally ruining the demo for me at the moment. I hope I get used to it.
GUJJIFOX Posted 15 September 2011 Posted 15 September 2011 Pah! I couldn't even jockey the AI for 6 secs in the tutorial, had to skip it Love the graphics, not so much certain player movements an even the refs - reminds me of a lego man God knows how they have been getting away with charging so much with small iterations of the game. Snippets of the same old commentry, slightly tweaked menu systems, show me something different EA , show me something that makes me feel ive purchased a NEW game.
Austin Posted 15 September 2011 Posted 15 September 2011 I quite like the new defending system, unfortunately, the fact you can change back to the old system has ruined it Means i'll have to use that system to have a chance of beating anyone. Annoying.
