The full version of FIFA 12 will also have a big online component, with a much greater social element. Graphics have had an incremental improvement, and animation is also better than last year's game.

As always, FIFA 12 is fully licensed so you'll be able to play with your favorite players and clubs, and the game will follow the summer and winter transfer windows, so teams will mirror their real life counterparts. Getting past defenders is more enjoyable as a result, and neat tricks seem easier to pull off. When dribbling in FIFA 12, you do feel in much more control than previous versions. Timing is everything in this new tactical defending system, and while it's frustrating it's ultimately more rewarding when you start getting it right. In fact, do that in FIFA 12 and you can seriously mistime the challenge and allow the player through. FIFA 12's impact engine makes tackles look and feel much more realistic, and will no doubt result in more player injuries! When two players jump for a ball in the air in FIFA 12, they will no longer always land together perfectly, but may fall depending on the contact made with the other player.ĭefending in general has been refined, and it's not longer possible to just hold down the 'pressure' button and expect the nearest defender to squeeze up and snatch the ball from the attacker. The impact engine has arguably the greatest impact on gameplay, and it really changes the dynamics of tackling and contact in the game. These all - and especially the latter of the three - have a major impact on the gaming experience. Building on the success of recent years, FIFA 12 introduces three main developments: precision dribbling, tactical defending and the player impact engine.
