While i was looking forward to this new version of fifa 12 i gotta say that the reviews are made of pure fake words.
i was looking forward to fifa 12 so much after hearing so much hype from it and because i playd fifa 08 and 11 (i got those 2 versions) and i gotta say while 08 was okay fifa 11 was fantastic, i truly loved it and i still play it, anywho fifa 12, this game is so atrocious , so complicated, so frustrating, its horrid theres not enough words to describe this disaster of a *game* that is being called one of the best fifa versions ever by reaching a point of *realism * more lik frustration.
im not truly sure if its because of the new engine physics that everything is just seriously frustrating, but im pretty sure its more than that.
they have changed the fun for this so called *realism* that it doesnt let you have fun at all more than complicate you to the max, for example when you lose the ball and you wanna get it back its so complicated its not like in fifa 11 for example which you only needed to maintain pressed the button a to mark the player and tries to recover the ball, in this version marking a player ( pressing a) does nothing at all but just stand infront of him all the time and follows thats all. if you wanna try to *get the ball back* or atleats thats what i think it does you has to use the button b but the problem with it iis that your player does an animation that makes him stay in a position for a second which let your opposing team get the advantage, so you will spend a long time trying to get the ball back on manual mode which is complicated cause you cant target the player that well if you using the A button cause it doesnt workt he same way it used to be before!. why change something that was not broken or annoying before?.
you will end up running behind the ball trying to get it back the whole game so you either try to be accurate with the ball or you just gonna loose and end up frustrated, another problem is the passing, its so dumb because of the physics that you cant give the ball that hard or soft because you will end up giving a bad pass, and you cant really control the passing that well FK MAN its so annoying i can keep going on and on and ill just end up frustrating myself and theres no need to say anything else, this is the worst FIFA game ever played from my experience @_@ SIGH!-
okay i feel better now had to rant a bit.
thank you for reading my review /opinion about the game i hope you take consideration of what it has been told in here.
other than those BIG MASSIVE frustrations, the game looks pretty awesome /graphically speaking, the soundtrack is good, the main menu is well done and pretty. but that doesnt save the main game from its own doomsday.
