FIFA 12 - News/Details/Discussion Thread

I have to admit online is a lot better since the GK thing was removed.

Ive never really takin losing that seriously but losing to someone that basically had the computer defending for him really annoyed me.

Tried manual briefly but I couldn't hack it! Mainly shooting (what's my excuse now!) and crosses. Have massive respect for anyone who can play manual

Anyone know why my H2H seasons isnt working? Any time I try to start a match it will loose connection to my opponent when searching and if a choose a different team the starting 11 of the previous team will still be displayed for the preview and in the team management screen. This only started happening yesterday. I tried downloading squad updates to see if that would sort it but it didnt.

Just one thing, heard you say it on the vid, and had to correct you. It's Palermo (Pa-yermo), not Palmero. Easy mistake but it has potential to be flamed by idiots on youtube.

Loved the idea for the series, ill be watching!

only takes about 4/5 games to adapt, its worth it!!

Tempted to give full manual a go.
Normally have pass and shoot manual, lob/through pass I was never good at so that's at semi.

I was liking some of the control over passing and taking responsibility. But it usually went wrong too close to my own goal!........and I'm a terrible loser

Argh, lost in the semi final of the cup again. Absolutely dominated from start to finish. The guy had 3 attacks in the entire game and scored 3 goals.

Smalling miscontrolled the ball from 6 yards out into his own net after the ball rolled back to him after hitting the post. Over 60% of possession, 15 shots to 3, and i lose 3-2 because of an O.G.

Very frustrating.

I conceded around 3 or 4 goals from Smalling miscontrolling it, put Rafael in and havent looked back, he plays much better than a 76.

The second episode of my attempted rise to FIFA12 fame

Slow start again, but a bit more style. Let me know what you think...Trying to get practice at this commentary lark!

I think Smalling is only 73 at right back actually, even though the team management screen will say he is 77. Very annoying it isn't his rating for the current position.

I might try Rafael instead, but I do like Smalling because of his height, he rarely gets beaten in the air.

Hi Guys quick question for ye, How do you get username/gametag to appear over the player you are controlling. Used to have it i FIFA 11 but cant get it working in FIFA 12. Struggling to see the small red Triangle. I have tried the display settings but its not in that, the only thing I can do is display the name of the player who has the ball. Hope some one can help. cheers

Good night of Ultimate Team tonight. 3 games, all won, 15 goals, 0 conceeded. And for once I quit while I was ahead Best was beating a team made up of Real Madrid and Barcelona 3-0 before he left.

Agree, though its a little over the top. Started with Crawley town and nearly pulled my hair out to be honest. With LilleStrom in the Tippeligen (sp?) now and its a lot better.

There's definitely been a massive increase in the number of people picking Man City online since their thrashing of Man United at the weekend.

Is it possible to check the Irish FIFA leaderboards on PS3?

stiffler123

Is anyone else epicly bad at Fifa 12? I have 70 wins and 110 losses, I feel like snapping the disk in two. I've never been this crap in past Fifas.:(

Batesy

The lag online this year is shocking. In past years I'd get the odd game with lag but this year it seems I'm getting the odd game without lag!!

FIFA 12, it's just such a frustrating experience this time. I keep going back, I'm hooked but it makes my blood boil.

I hate the button lag too, even offline there seems to be a slight delay in passes. It just doesn't feel right.

I had a look there myself but I couldn't find anything.

Its Johnny Drama

Playing online is so frustrating...i find that the majority players just park the bus...ive came across numerous players playing 5-4-1 and ultra defensive, I know EA were trying to make the game more realistic by implementing the new tactical defending but it has just made a lot players play really defensive
