Yep...Hoope so!!

Re: FIFA 12 Specs

Well I actually don't expect much from these sports game specially after big change like in FIFA 11 so IMO it will be nearly be same as FIFA 11 with some graphics improvement.

Re: FIFA 12 Specs

Hope it get back to FIFA type of game rather than copying PES what they did in FIFA 11..

Re: FIFA 12 Specs

hmm, so it will work on my rig. Might not get it though. i play PES

Re: FIFA 12 Specs

They didn't copy PES. They gave us a port of PS3/X360.

FIFA PC turned next gen last year.

...and completely mixed up the settings for Keyboard. The controller settings are Totally dedicated towards Gamepad, which I hate. Ignored the 11 for that reason, if 12 comes with same controller setting I've to ignore this one too

Re: FIFA 12 Specs

WTF?Sports games are meant to be played with a controller.Complaining about the KB control scheme of a Fifa game makes no sense.

Re: FIFA 12 Specs

^ It does make sense to me. Very much.

Re: FIFA 12 Specs

Well then don't expect any change,you'll be disappointed.

Re: FIFA 12 Specs

Thanks for the info. Fifa 12= Ignored.

(Sticking with Fifa 10)

Looks promising. But the impacts are too much and might make the game somewhat difficult and funny with players falling a lot.

Adil said:
PES 2012 Will Be Better

You can't say that for sure. In this installment of FIFA they have added many features which are absent in PES also like the falling impact. Injuries will be real means if your payer falls in a match then there are chances that he won't play in upcoming matches and all that. Also graphics are somewhat improved so you can easily say that this one brings many things on the table just wait and watch before making up your mind.

PES doesn't even release in India. Even if they do Konami will price it like US which we won't be able to buy. The only choice with genuine buyers in India is FIFA.

Re: FIFA 12 Specs

is this minimum required specification or Recommended??

Re: FIFA 12 Specs

FIFA 11 is the best thing that happened to FIFA . Yes its tough but that is what makes it better.
PES fanboys , please. Copied PES , yes of course, but if only that could be the recioe for success in every field. FIFA 11 has bettered PES in every aspect previously considered to be PES's stronghold.

The graphics , yes it looks bland compared to games of other genres , it can be better , but really its not that bad , it does not hinder gameplay in any way.

I won;t mind if FIFA 12 isn;t much different from FIFA 11, well maybe except for making the Freekicks a little easier

Yeah..FIFA 11 is the best FIFA ever.I have played almost all FIFAs from FIFA 98 and the crappiest was FIFA 10 it failed big time infront of PES 10.But FIFA 11 is next gen and far better than others.Only similarity to PES is that the controls are assigned for controller but we can change that to our style and all the controls are similar to FIFA 08,09 and 10 except the special skills.

Free kicks are not that difficult, I score 70% of direct free kicks I get but while playing online people place defender along with keeper to block free kicks

Re: FIFA 12 Specs

yup, FIFA 11 on PC is next-gen much like its console predecessors.

and I have no idea why is someone complaining about keyboard controls when you should be playing this game with a gamepad.

Re: FIFA 12 Specs

Anyone can tell me the exact time the Demo is going to be out tomorrow ?

Re: FIFA 12 Specs

Fifa demo is out.Initial reports are good.

Re: FIFA 12 Specs

Yes , had been keeping track of EA Forum today and downloaded the 1.55 GB sized demo as soon as it was out , played for 3 whole hours , the game is almost like the full version if it has the team you play with

6 Teams : AC Milan, Arsenal, Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, OM Marseille and Manchester City.

3 Mintues each half. Level Amatuer-Legendary. Camera all available but height / Zoom cannot be changed.

Messi 95 , Xavi Iniesta 92 , Fabregas and Nasri 89 87 still at Arsenal , Adebayor still at Manchester City.

Re: FIFA 12 Specs

mitraark is so excited kee usne do baar same cheez post kiya

P

Re: FIFA 12 Specs

@mitraark

you can change the camera height and zoom .
you need to go to camera settings and then select custom. then you can change.

Re: FIFA 12 Specs

How different is the defending?I can't be arsed to download the demo.Will order the game on release if it does not have any major issues re: cheating etc.

Re: FIFA 12 Specs

^Defending is not very different tbh. You gotta use LT (jockey button) to chase a player and then press B (conservative tackle) at the right moment. While running with a player if you press B, then your player gives the dribbler a shoulder push. If you do it repeatedly you get a yellow :lol:

.

On my HP dm1z netbook, the game runs in slow motion at 800x600. :lol:

They will release the fix and name it Fifa 13.

Re: FIFA 12 Specs

^ hah! No way mate
It'll take EA till FIFA 15 to fix that.
Dunno Wtf is wrong with these people their licenser -FIFA, FIA (F1, WRC).
The licenser should set some standards to force these Milkers to make highly polished games.
F1 was good except for few massive bugs which still hasn't been fixed.:/
WRC is a joke.

Anyways ot, does this game involve transfers?

Re: FIFA 12 Specs

Demo has the old squads.

You can buy and sell in single player.You can manually edit squads as well.
Online you have to play with the default team and with your own player in Be a Pro mode.
mate.

Re: FIFA 12 Specs

First of all , defending is quite different .. the standing tackle has been made definitive , it is almost like a small scale slding tackle , you'll probably hit , but if you miss , a good player [ Read: All Barca Players ] will dribble past yyou.

Also , there is no Auto Press button [ Which was the pass button last year and Shoot button previously ] , you have to manually mark opponent.

The IMPACT Engine, although brings on somewhat realism into the game , results in a lot of FAIL

Messi did a complete 360 when i accidentally moved him over the demented GK [ Szczesny ] during the celebration after goal.

This is completely different to Fifa 11 PC in a more realistic sense.Got whooped by AI but won my first online match quite easily.Everyone is crap at defending at this stage :))

^you got owned by bots? :lol:

anyways, those who didnt get the Free Ultimate pack..., email EA support, they should send a redeem code

The online is completely lag free,and I haven't seen anyone use any exploits or cheap tactics yet.However you can't see which team or kit your opponent chooses.This may lead to kit clashes.Haven't happened to me so far though.

FIFA 12 doesn;t have any option for LAN Play ... this is going to change everything , everyone plays FIFA 11 on LAN in our hostel

They might not shift to FIFA 12

A

defending is so tough in fifa 12

lost 6 matches in a row online

Hmm...So everyones complaning about the toughness in defending in fifa 12.

.
The tactical defending, as the game calls it, is more realistic and challenging giving you something more to do instead of just holding 2 buttons to crudely take the ball like in the previous installments.

.
Using a 360 game controller at normal setting.
The basic standing tackle is done by B(circle) button, while the X(square) takes care of sliding tackle. Big change is that The A button will now contain your opponent. That is instead of doing anything even remotely productive, your player will just move along with opponent on ball. I'd advice you to loose the habit of holding that button down cuz it rarely helps in defending let alone being tactical.

.
Now, Basically the left trigger (one under your middle finger of left hand) most important button while defending, will jockey the player around. Hold down right trigger and player will sprint. Hold them down together, Player will sprint jockey. The right button will tell your computer controlled player to contain the opponent.

.
Now thats the basic. The key to good defending is being tactically smart. Against a weaker team(or at amateur/semi-pro difficulty), its quite enough to jockey along and put up a standing tackle once the opponent shows you too much of the ball. Like when he's sprinting or is very close face to face with you. Only thing worth remembering is that players now take nice few seconds to regain control after a failed tackle. So its better to time your move rather than pressing the button everytime the opponent gets close.

.
At harder difficulty levels or with equally matched teams, you have to pay more attention to opponent's position and players. One good way to defend is to hold the right button and let your teammate do the containing while you jockey around at distance along with him. In this once opponent gets clear of your teammate (by tricks or something, anything, the CPU controlled player will always suck up a bamboo) and tries to sprint away, you can try to hold him.
Or, most likely the opponent will pass the ball to nearby player, all you gotta do stay close to him and/or try to intercept the ball. Once you start jockeying around the player and he has no where to pass (like near the D where its crowded by defenders and midfielders) he will probably make a mistake and screw up.
At professional difficulty, the opponent will pass the ball around a lot, so you gotta be active and switch players often and keep on holding them off.
You can always use the not so friendly method of push-pull at a swifty winger to buy some time to get your players fall back at defence line. But careful, a lot of shirt pulling can result in foul or at most a card.

.
The sliding tackle has its big change aswell, the players with lower defending stats(read forwards) will almost everytime fail to get the ball by sliding tackle and at the most will kick it out of play. While the likes of Pique or V. Kompany will atleast get it clear off opponent.

.
Any more tips?

Pretty much summed up everything there.I try to close people down quickly and try to block their passing options.In Division 5 now.

While attacking,moving the ball around a bit with LT throws off most opponents online.
Take a touch before shooting.First time shots look good but rarely go in.

Here's my starting line up for Manchester City, Manager mode, season 3.
.
.
GK.H Lloris - 90
.
Defence
RB. Sergio Ramos - 87
RCB. Pique - 91
LCB. V Kompany - 89
LB. D Criscito - 88
.

CAM. Lucas - 88
RM. David Silva - 90
LM. S Nasri - 88

ST. Tevez - 88
LF. L Messi - 95
RF. Neymar - 89

Yeah yeah, i know managing MC is like sliding down the money mountain with no pants on screaming "weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee". But hey, atleast i'm not buying Rooney and making his fat behind rot on reserves bench just to rub it in United's face. Oh wait a minute, I TOTALLY AM!!!

Yes Buddy....The reason why it looks so is that they have Messi as striker....he is strong as hell...everytime i tried to play against them and got hammered by 10+ goals....Messi alone scores some 7-8 goals.

Yesterday I noticed an impressive thing in FIFA 12 commentry...The commentators mentioned the birhday of David Silva while the match was in progress. Its such a creative and lively example of the level of details they have instilled in FIFA...m lovin it.....!
