What's your opinion on the referee's decisions in fifa 12.
I personally think their crap.

Have you ever taken the ball cleanly from someone's feet with a standing tackle and get booked or something similar.

Let me know your opinions.

Awful to say the least

The referee's are piss poor in FIFA 12.

But in fairness to EA, if you look at the Premier League lately, that just makes the game more realistic!

Lads what's with the poor visibility when playing in the snow it's way too bright really hard to play bit of a joke.

I find referees only call a foul if you're in possession of the ball. If you've just passed the ball and get tackled late and do a million flips in the air it doesn't get called.

They are absolutely terrible. Was playing H2H earlier and I get a player sent off when I slide tackled a player and won the ball. Then I got a peno when they tackled me and won the ball. 2 ridiculous decisions!

Just shows how realistic the game is :pac:

Can you not choose to change commentators on the Playstation 2 version of the game?

I can't seem to find how.

Trying to play an online H2H Seasons match now and I'm getting the message: "There was a problem with the online roster check. Please try again later."

This ever happen to anyone else?

How do the leaderboards work?

The person top of the Seasons leaderboard has 1,042 wins, yet the person who is top in the Top 100 leaderboard only has 317 wins.

Just got booted from the EA servers. 3-1 up in my 1st Division 5 game. On a 12 game winning streak. Unbeaten in 20. Frustration isn't the word.

I usually try to point the directional button in the opposite direction to where I want to head the ball, you don't get as much power in the header but a few of them will creep in the corner.

I dont know if i have been hacked or not or maybe its the EA server that has been hacked but anyway....

I put on Fifa yesterday and all the players names are just complete jibber,just random letters,some of the players dont even have a name yet the game calls them their real names so for instance Rooney is called Rooney but in the squad menu he is called rodriguez Venta,Danny Welbeck is called D.Wade,Messi is called Messeh or something.

Anyone else having this problem?

My Ultimate Team hasnt been touched at all

Neeson

How do you change commentators on Playstation 2 version?

no but i have heard of this before. i think if u do a squad reset or a squad update it should solve the problem

Are you using ultra attacking?

bonescap

does anyone know how to turn off the in game stats that come up during a game, they just end up stopping me from seeing some of my players. its a pointless feature too as in most games u dont have time to look at them

I always use Spanish commentary these days. Much better than hearing the same old crap over and over again.

Well I'm sure the same happens, but at least I don't understand it!

Plus when you score: "GOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL" , much more fun.

And there was talk of camera angle earlier, I use Tele with height full and zoomed out as much as possible. Means you can see more of the pitch which is great, esp on manual.

Ahhh EXACTLY why I stopped playing.

Having higher possession isn't an advantage in this game, as once an attack breaks down, all their players get into position, then it's as easy as holding CONTAIN in front of the player you're controlling and you have no space for a shot/cross and you can't get by them.

So if you turn over the ball, they have a spread out defence to attack, and naturally you can't use contain as it only works in positions they can't run i.e passing it around your box.

Awful game, they wanted to remove the ''lack of skill'' involved in previous games yet it takes even less skill now.

Right, I don't think you can change them in the PS2 version. Just stuck with Clive and Andy.

How do you set the commentators to Spanish? Do you need the rest of the game to be in Spanish also? I only get the English commentators.
