FIFA 12 (13 Viewers)

[Klin]

This new defending system is so fucked up. I have not managed to get 1 singe clean sheet in a match so far. Somehow I need to fuck up and leave the back exposed and concede a goal.

You PS3 nerds add me: Klinsmann17.

Word that's all you can do but it's still annoying to have to let the opposition get so much time on the ball even in you own half of the pitch.

 

[Klin]

Which difficulty level do you guys play at?

 

[X Æ A-12]

World Class. I tried Legendary but I got destroyed.

 

[Klin]

I'm getting destroyed at Professional level. :depressed

I sent you a request.

I literally threw myself out of the window after trying it on legendary.

How much time do you guys spend on playing Fifa?

 

[Enron]

Still haven't gotten it out of the package.

When I do play it... PS3: TomWopat

Only problem with legendary is that the AI can keep possession for longer this year, I'm not creating a lot of chances so not scoring enough.

So far I've found it easier to not use the contain button, just the L2 R1 and [].

I feel like I'm constantly getting the stupidest goals scored against me that would be so easily preventable if I could press players without getting skinned every single time.

Try use only the good defending players (eg. Vidal, Chiellini, or Licht) for aggressive pressing.

When I'm defending in front of the player who's controlling the ball, one thing that I keep in mind is that you must always look to the ball. The second you lose track of it and wanders off, CPU will skin past you.
I'm no expert at FIFA 12 but this one little principle has helped me reduced countless of goals.

Look at what the new FIFA challenge is.

Edit: I'm actually enjoying the new defending system. Had great fun against someone playing as Barcelona online, constantly tackling all their players with Luiz Gustavo.

Once you get the hang of it, this year's FIFA is really enjoyable, absolutely harder, but I can say it's more enjoyable than last year.

Anyway, I know this has been said many times but Vidal really is a beast.

 

[Enron]

Just spent about an hour at it. I really like the menu set up/team management calendar. The scouting network is sweet.

Defending is a bit tricky. I dominated Sunderland, but lost to Arsenal. Possession seems to be the way to play in this version which is a good thing.

 

[frick]

Counter attack is sexy though when it's successful. I like to place the ball forwards quickly when I win the ball at the back and I get more clear chances this way.

 

[Trequartista]

I just got the game today.

Playing at professional, I get trashed at more difficult levels.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

I hate this game. Defending is too easy. All my games in Career Mode finish 1-0 and I play with Novara (perhaps the artificial turf helps me).

Technically all turf in FIFA12 is artificial.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Virtual artificial vs. virtual grass. Anyway, winning the "Euro Cup" with Novara in my 2nd season makes me want to sell the game.
