  • .......... and breath.

  • The reason why most people hate it is because of the new defending system. I hated it so much too and turned it off for the first month, but then I had to learn to play with it when I started playing Ultimate Team and it turned out to be a great feature. Really makes the difference between good and bad players and now you only have yourself to blame a lot of the times conceding.

  • @Zethar I'll be honest and admit that I don't play Ultimate Team but that's probably because I don't want to waste more money on it due to so many other games that I would like to buy and play in the future. However, I do love career mode and I'm one of the 'noobs' who plays using legendary. Anyway, I play and beat all my mates using legendary defending and also beat people on Ultimate Team round my friends houses yet according to you if one doesn't get acquainted with tactical they are bad? mmk

  • @mcgot2good I guess you'll have to explain to me what legendary defending is then. Because, as I see it in Ultimate Team, people who cannot use tactical defending are mistiming both standing and sliding tackles and conceed goals because they can't keep wingers from crossing.

  • @Zethar sorry it's called legacy defending not legendary. however you can find it in game settings, just remember to scroll to the bottom and it'll be there. this will work for the full game as well as the demo seen in the video below this comment. to stop wingers crossing using tactical defending, sprint jockey them using both L2 and R2 simultaneously and it should place your defender in onside position to get his body in the way of any potential crosses

  • @Zethar sorry wouldn't post the link, anyway type in youtube: How to change from tactical defending to legacy defending. It will work for both Online and Offline game modes.

  • FIFA has UEFA too, it's called champions cup instead of league but you have to qualify and i'm pretty sure you can't get in it your first season you have finish top three in league depending on league

  • barca fail player!!

  • Fifa 12 sux ass caus pes has da graphics da speed da skil da uefa

  • @Texasouppy612783 ummm Fifa has fifa

  • He said like 1000 words in 3 min!

  • I laugh at the people complaining bought barca and madrid, that means there usin like 5 star teams aswell. just use a lesser team

  • Any in virtual pro completely defeats the purpose of it !

  • @HisTuness exactly and r1 in pro clubs just makes it boring and fustrating knowin its the computer tackling you

  • FIFA 12 I think for me a 4 out 5 game , they need tp work on head to head seasons , it's great but I constantly

    Verse Barcelona wannabes , and everytime you see the messi goal down the wing , I mean most of the time it's not even skill when you playing wight teams such as Barcelona :/ and the new defending I aint much of a fun but I guess I got use to it but I concede more goals now more than ever than I would in FIFA 11 . Last thing is virtual pro, when people choose to play ANY , I can't even

  • why always they use barcelona real madrid is better

  • I love Fifa 12, I just hate some of the idiots that play it.

  • @AndresCentenoo I do mate. In FIFA 11 you could beat Barcelona with anyone on legendary, now you have to be a 4-5 star team.

  • FIFA 12 is amazing. If you like football you will like it. Ultimate team great fun and manager mode is also good aswell.

  • fifa 12 is extraordinary but i never played fifa 10 or 11 to compare it with but compared to 09 it is alot better but the career mode not that much in 09 there was training which helped made the players stronger and the growth was alot better hope they fix it next time but otherwise its great

  • I love fifa 12... at first i didnt like the defensive change they did but once you get used to it it doesnt matter! I also love the changes they did with xp points and online seasons... in my opinion this is the best fifa yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • the haters are PES fan boys

  • @prodjtkiller even in FIFA and PES there are nerds fighting for games? lol... they have practically no difference...

  • @prodjtkiller I am not a PES fanboy and I hate it....

  • Who hates FIFA 12, so I can kick their ass with my soccer foot, and so them how we really kick.

  • the only thing bad about fifa 12 is the fucking penalties! oh my god, shocking decisions by the referee

  • i wish ppl would stop crying bout guys going the good teams who the fuck says its cool not too. i mean if u want to play against different teams play against comp or a friend. and france is not original team lol, and how can some1 be called a dbag if they pick a certain team....!!! just because you cant beat them dont cry. Peace

  • Oh shit! You talk so fast!!!!!!

  • U wrote a speech and were just staring at paper while you read it, right?

  • u talking so fucking fast

  • I love both PES and Fifa - Pes is difficult gameplay and more realistic gameplay with 360 degree passing and the ability to control two players at once, but Fifa is also funner in some respects so I might get that instead this year, plus I hate it when I get lagged out by dodgy gamers - It happens so much more in PES especially when you're playing someone in D1 and score a goal it's just frustrating and I hate playing Italians especially on it - they're the worst by far.

  • @ViaticGaming it shows where the ball is going to land.

  • i love dani alves

  • Can u talk a bit faster...

  • 0:04 4 angry black slapping their dicks on a table??

  • fifa 12 , BF 3 and Skyrim ( MW3 isn't that bad but still)

  • dude, BREATH!!!

    

  • at 4:01 wats tht black and yellow thing =?

  • but diving is realistic, it happens in real life football, games have been lost because of diving in the 90th minute and getting penalties

  • u talk to fast

  • The one thing that has been bothering me all the time is how going up difficulty levels affect certain things. I mean I know that they have to make it harder but when Shaun Wright-Phillips is being outrun by a Southampton defender you know there is an issue. I understand they have to find a way to make it harder but if they make it so defenders outrun strikers then what is the point in everyone's stats? I love the FIFA games though, although I did throw my FIFA11 disc at the wall one night :-D

  • is this a life lesson?

  • I'm a big fan of FIFA12 n its changes. But I dont like how they decreased the keepers reactions to long shots. It makes those Real Madrid users even cheaper. Also. The way the ball trickles into the corner at a snails pace is ridiculous! The keepers simply need to shuffle their feet before diving. N my only other gripe is an on going one. Why does manual switching go to a player other than the one nearest to the ball first!?! Surely thats a basic one to sort out EA. Other than that, I'm good :)

  • slow down lol holy shit

  • I love fifa 12!!! better than 11 and 7

  • i love fifa 12 but the damn ref needs a upgrade and when i have the swedish commentators(because i'm swedish but mostly use the english more because of this) on they always like "what have been the success on Arsenals Season"(but on swedish) when i don't even plays as Arsenal or even meets them.

  • Yeah, but no ones gonna go back to Black Ops lol

  • FIFA 12 is amazing EXCEPT for all the people who are either Spain, Barcelona, or Real Madrid all the time.

    You guys need to get off Messi and Ronaldos ass

  • @CoolCanadianGuy7 Well Said

  • I have played Real Madrid 5 times consecutively. I was Tottenham, Dortmund, Sevilla, Porto and Ivory Coast. Every. Single. Time. I get that fucking Real Madrid emblem and I IMMEDIATELY get pissed off.

  • @mrbradize Thats usually impossible lol, because Sevilla, Porto and Ivory Coast aren't 5 star teams so you don't get drawn with 5 star teams in head to head season. So your story is not true.

  • @IRISHMARKSMAN446 naw he's right. I've been LOSC Lille and Santos and I've been paired with Spain and Arsenal. If you are a 4-5 star team you get grouped together, which isn't fair to most people. When I'm Lille, I shouldn't be playing against Spain lol.

    EA needs to allow us to block these cheap teams, let people who want to be Barca, Spain and Real play against each other, while we pick teams that aren't as powerful.

  • @IRISHMARKSMAN446 uhh... why the hell would I lie about that? And yeah, you do get drawn with 5 star teams sometimes in head to head. maybe you wouldn't know cause your one of the dbags that plays as man city, spain, barca, man utd or madrid 24/7...? i don't know, im just making rash assumptions like you do.

  • @mrbradize Well I was just saying on my expierences I have never been draw with a 5 star team when I was a four star.. And I btw I usually play as Napoli.. I wouldn't class City or United as nooby.. "D-bags" pick Barca, Madrid and Spain

  • @CoolCanadianGuy7 excactly.... This is what ruins head to head season, everybody is either Barca or Madrid and the odd few pick Spain. And they think their good... It doesn't take must skill to score a goal with Ronaldo or Messi

  • @CoolCanadianGuy7 Is France k?

  • @Quillincy lol I'm no judge, it's just annoying that everyone picks the same team. EA needs to put the Barca-Madrid-Spain people in their own division, division 11. France is an original team, we need more people like you online!

  • @CoolCanadianGuy7

    Manchester City too!

  • @CoolCanadianGuy7 best joke a i have heard all year

  • @CoolCanadianGuy7 people choose either spain, barcelona or real madrid.. coz u are probably in 8th or 9th division... lol... if you are in high divisions like 3 or 4.. u will know  that people dont actually take RM and FCB..

  • @axamsa I'm in Division 3, I made it to division 2, and guess what? People still are choosing similar teams.

  • I never have been pissed at ea for FIFA ..second day I play FIFA 12 and I hate it ...worst passing assistance ..worst lob/cross passing ...I make a long pass and the stupid fucken players break and stop then run !!! Weak defence ...I hate it !!!

  • MARSEILLE is the best team but dnt use barcelona when ur playing them cuz its not fun anymore

  • @ whoever made this video, after fifa has been released, how do you like the defense system now? I think its great how they made actually holding structure important and not just holding X or A down to take the ball. It makes def abit harder but now that I'm use to it (you most likely are now) i feel like i know how to defend and i like how they did it.

  • someone need to tell this guy that he had more then 15 minutes to make a video!!!

  • EA fucked up FIFA12 real bad! They made it this way so people play UT all the time and keep giving EA money all year long.

    Playing offline is just frustrating to a breaking point..Career mode and all offline modes are dead! Its impossible to have fun playing FIFA anymore because its insanely difficult.

    Sliding tackles are useless, quick 1-2 passes are a thing of the past unless your Barca or have 11 Neymars on your team..shooting on the turn is non existent.

    F**k EA I want my money back

  • FIFA 12 is shit due to the amount of gimps who play as Barcelona !

  • All i can say to you instant haters.

    Just play one game vs another persn (Not AI)

    on the actual build of the game and see if it changes your mind.

    Because for the actual game they turned down the impact engine with bug fixes and the closed the gap of tactical defending dramatically.

  • @GoofClownHead

    No its not, seasons is so much better!

    But i dislike that they force you to use tactical defending rather than being able to use legacy defence.

  • He just made a video that should have taken 10 mins into a 5 min video

  • i f-ing love fifa 12 !1!!!

  • I am not convinced with FIFA 12, looping passes, keepers getting away with goal kick s way outside the area, suspect impact engine, it just doesn't feel right like it used to, the AI plays a strange game to say the least, I just think it is nowhere near as good as all the reviews would have us all believe, much preffered 10 and world cup 10.

  • They put ads in the middle of the videos now? Ffs...

  • I miss PES6

  • the computer AI in offline is VERY VERY HARD, I played Legendary on FIFA 11, I am playing Proffessional on FIFA 12

  • its deffo pes is year lol

  • fifa has gone down hill CRAP

  • played it and im quite disapointed

  • we only hate on FIFA 12 because its a game we love and we want it to be perfect.

  • shut the fuck up you brainwashing fuckers the game is shit end of story

  • The keepers are terrible, referees even worse and for some reason the CPU is almost invincible now!

  • @ThePoshGooner You should try playing in Legend lol :P keepers are great, referees are ok :) And indeed it's hard to win to the AI.

  • I love everything about it BUT I really think they overdid the whole "tactical defending" thing. They just made defending a big burden. What's next? In FIFA 14 do we have to tell the goalkeeper when to dive? It's just a game and game's aren't supposed to be realistic.

  • @PineConeKing You mean....its "harder"?

  • Gonna buy both Pro Evo and fifa. But Pro looks and plays better, going by the demo.

  • also you have to be more disciplined this year on both sides of the ball. you have to keep possession better and you cant just smash the b button to get the ball back. youre supposed to hem in the players and use the tackle button occasionally when the player is trapped. watch the barca and ac milan champions league game, ac milan played the exact defense youre supposed to play in the game. keep the players in front of you. i dont think gamers will like it but footballers will

  • i like the demo so much that im almost afraid to criticize it. I didnt get fifa 11 bc i when i played at my friends place i thought it seemed just like fifa 10. both of them feel way to much like an arcade game to me. i got bored of just smashing down B to get the ball, pace abusing to the other side of the pitch, then a little skill and 6 goals later the game ends. the game feels more realistic in terms of player size vs pitch size and player speed vs ball speed.

  • yeah....your on crake

  • i hate the gameplay, the cpu doesnt let you even play, its to hard.... the ball seems more realistic... I like the modes and everything about the game. I hate the tatical defendiong, I like the regular defending from fifa 11.... EA please change the tatical defending and put the regular defending....... KillHollyWood You are the best and people comment on my comment if you aggree with me......

  • PES 4ever

  • Nice video and commentary with no breaths lol

    loved the shot at 4: 11 haha, some fancy passes in the video!

  • who else thinks this guy looks really pissed off with people in this video?

  • How do you do the cool passing flicks? is there a way to do it or is it just random?

  • @pomenic press RB on the xbox controller while u pass the ball

  • Mate, just breathe for a second.

  • I hated this demo at first, but then i found out that you could change the tactical defending back to the normal defending like on fifa 11 and now i absolutely love this game :D the realism of it is awesome i love the attack and the goalies and when you have the CPU set on a higher difficulty it does present a challenge and they do actually score some nice goals which is pretty cool because its a bit more realistic that way.

  • @IM40A3IREMiXI i wouldn't change it mate in the real game online u can't change it to legacy.

  • Always gonna have haters...they're usually the ones after the arcade feel and you'll find they're not true football fans. This is the closest thing to real football by far!!

  • I hate the CPU goalies, they just suck and i hate CPU offense if you watch the offense on this vid for the CPU all they do is run outside the box to cross it, if it was real they wouldnt run out they would attack the box this also happens in the world cup games and its pitiful

  • beautiful at 25'

  • Positive: Probably better graphics and passing.

    Negatives: Tactical defending is awful, it makes the game soo slow paced, I would like to see an option so they can change the defending to what it is like on fifa 11 but more intelligent ie. marking and heading. One more point referees still make outrageous decision :S

  • I love the Skill moves, i dont know if it me but every player feels like they have no pace on them, and people falling over in the box and getting penalties when no contact has been made, but overall i think its great, weaver we hate it or like it EA are getting 45 quid off all of us

  • I tackled someone in the demo and got the ball and didnt touch the man , and it was a peno :| thats whats id like to see tweeked

  • I love FIFA 12 demo

  • I have to say after playing it a couple of more times: it makes for å really good game.. you need to have patience in defense(and attack), and it becomes less artificial when you tackle on own timing i guess.. more buttons to concentrate on tho.. and Messi is finally as good as in real life!!

  • THE TATICAL DEFENDING SUCKS SORRY

  • fifa 12 looks good to me actually its really the best ever when it comes to gameplay

  • amazon good at sending out games early? i had to wait 5 weeks before getting GTA IV after i preordered it

  • wtf just happend?

  • Changes are a good thing, but it seems like its hard to control the defending player, not like you did with the A button in 11(off and straight on the apposing player). In 12 they just follow.. I hope they can put in the function that the A/X butten had(while holding) on 11. I love a challenge so I think ill get anyways

  • @TheAitman you can change in controller settings between new tactical defending and the old defending like on 11

  • defending is shit

  • i love fifa 12

  • I think 12 is so much better than 11. I just love it. Only things I don't like are too sensitive Player Impact Engine, and there are too many heel-passes and trick passes. This is too much, kinda unrealistic.

  • I like how they have improved the dribbling & skill moves.

    I dislike that you cant call a 2nd defender to the ball like you could on fifa 11. They used to do a standing tackle, now all you can do with a second player is track them & contain them.

    The tweak is shooting, i dunno what it is about but from the games i've played on the demo the shooting doesnt seem as good as it could be.

    All in all the demo isn't that bad, game will take a bit of getting used to but im still going to buy it.

  • I always have always use the FIFA 12 defence buttons in all FIFAs

  • A lot of my mates are saying its shit but I think its great, ive played about 10 games so far and the sensitivity of the impact engine has only annoyed me twice so its not too bad, and I like the tactical defending, maybe the fact that I was so bad at defending on Fifa 11 means that I dont find it hard getting use to the new style of defending.

  • im a better man than n u :D

  • dodgey impact engine where players go down without being touched?...just like real life then

  • after gettin used to fifa 12 i cant play fifa 11 any more :(

  • Defense is just going to take a lot of getting used to this year. One thing I've noticed though, is just how weak the shots are.

  • I NEVER saw anyone saying black ops sucks

  • i love the game!

  • Nice vid dude.

  • like: more realistic gameplay and scoring.

    Dislike: defence controls. really does my head in

  • i feel like fake shots/lobs should be much quicker.

  • great video :)

  • play on a harder diff, gets annoying quickly. only problem im having is the defending, bar that im happy with the new game

  • guys we can change the tactical defending back to the legacy defending in the controls menu. so it isnt a big problem :)

  • @clown39779 It has been confirmed on twitter that you can't do this online. You can only do it on the friendly mode online, and that's it.

    So you best start using tactical defending.

  • I like the new skills and shooting I live the new defending because defending is now fun. The only thing I don't like are the injuries and player impact engine they are a liitle buggy but thatbwill bebfixed I'm shore.

  • Why have ea completety removed pressuring- people still do it in real life

  • Best FIFA is the first one on Sega Genesis and SNES trololololol...

  • I love the defending controls

  • I buy NBA2k12

  • FIFA 11 is better than FIFA 12 and FIFA 10 is better than FIFA 11

  • I fuking love the game so far! I agree that the defending is hard to adjust to but it was too easy in fifa11 hold X with a fast defender and you won the ball everytime! I also think that the impact engine is a bit too sensitive..... However I fuking love it at the same time ! Good job EA

  • difficulty? im not trying to bash you anything but ive set mine to legendary just to get better and i dont get close to these looks.

  • Its way to stiff it feels like the payees are um responsive to the left stick moving like your playing a laggy online game

  • tactical defending seperates good players with noobs who pressure abuse, good job ea :D

  • i wouldnt say that everyone is gonna play blackops when mw3 comes out....

  • Does this guy breathe at all during this damn commentary?? O.o

  • @CallMeDocc

    I'm going to double my talking speed to annoy you in my next video. This commentary is me at about 0.3x my usual talking speed.

  • just tried fifa12 demo & seriously its fkn awesome!

    the mouvements are so smooth now and the shooting is great and u can get more chances to do acrobatic moves.also the bodies of the players looks very good and are better sized than fifa11,dribbles r much more realistic and a bit harder than fifa11, oh and the impact engine is really awesome even tho its still a lil bit buggy.tactical defending is fine to me (more realistic defending) and u still can change the defending back to fifa 11's style.

  • i really think PES 2012 is better than FIFA 12

    i tried both demos today, and PES seems better

  • so far im loving fifa 12! the tactical defending was pretty hard at first but it just takes a little practice and timing. now im getting a lot of successful tackles. it does seem a little bit easier to pull off skill moves too; i sucked at doing skills in fifa 11, now i feel like a master. ball physics are cool and the player impact engine is a little wonky right now. ive seen players do all sorts of weird animations but im sure they'll fix that. just some of my thoughts :)

  • I absolutely hate tactical defending

    Barcelona is WAY TOOOO high level, it makes the game extremely boring if ur the offense I mean messi 95 seriously?!?!

    Other than that, good game

  • i just hate the tactical defending

  • You talk fast.

  • you summed that up perfectly and i hate the tactical defending but ill get used to it

  • they need to change the shot it just goes on the ground for me

  • @WWFCxAdaMxWWFC

    try holding B or O longer :)

  • Slow down...

  • this looks amazing! stop whining about change this is gonna be great with all the new impact engine effects / realism

  • I like the change, I love the tactical dribbling and defeding.

    I dislike the wind-up the shooter takes before shooting, not a huge deal.

    The tweak should be that I feel like the dribbling could be a little smoother, maybe it's just me, but I feel like the players are taking long touches, and spending too much time on the ball.

  • FIFA 11 Is Sick !! Better Than FIFA 10

  • In my opinion i think its really good, ive played the PES demo and thats not to bad either. You cannot make a decision on which is best by the demo, give them a good months playing time and then decide. Really impressed with fifa though, and its amazing impact engine. I ended up kicking gareth barry in the nuts, the tackle was a little mistimed i must admit :L

  • I like Fifa 12, however it is too damn difficult for me. I mean, I seriously struggle at Amateur and Semi-pro (but I win), but at Professional I really suck, and at WC and Legendary I am a total disaster. Maybe its just me, but tactical defending is difficult, tough I can be set to FIFA 11 style, I am gonna stick by it. I want the opponent's defense more weak.

  • your able to change back to how defending was in previous fifa, its call legacy defending in the demo when your in controller config page also feel like keepers are too easy to beat, like they dont get behind to ball properly

  • Tactical defending is the only thing i dont really like on fifa 12.. im not saying its bad, tho it seems very hard to use and is a big change but i think it will just take time for people to get use to it.

  • no offence but fifa 11 was awful

    its like fifa 10.1 and not worth a whole 40 quid

    same fifa 12
