XboxAddict: Once every four years, the soccer world in Europe (and soccer fans around the world) collaborate for soccer's Euro tournament to crown the champions of that continent for the next four years. In the past, Electronic Arts has taken to making standalone titles, however, this time around opted for an expansion pack for FIFA 12. You can look at that one of two ways: Either you purchased FIFA 12, and it's only $20 for you to purchase the Euro expansion, or, you're the gamer who only purchases the tournament titles, and now you have to pay full price for FIFA 12, and then buy the Euro expansion pack. Making this tougher is the obvious fact that you must have an internet connection to purchase, so soccer fans without Live are left in the dust.
The guys at FIFA Insider take a look at DLC and how it fits FIFA's yearly model.
LAG - "If one thing people at Electronic Arts are good at, it’s churning out games at the most opportune of times. To commemorate the Euro Cup, EA has released the first ever downloadable content UEFA Euro 2012. At a cursory glance, the most outstanding features would have to be the excellent sharp/crisp presentation and depiction of the Euro ambiance and atmosphere. The usual modus operandi which is part and parcel of FIFA game player vs. AI, or player vs. other players on player online is there."
