Eurogamer: FIFA 12 - Review

Eurogamer: By now, the millions of fans who sign up for a new FIFA every year must have grasped the fact that, for the foreseeable future, EA's football sim is all about evolution rather than revolution. Ever since the series began turning things around in FIFA 08 the emphasis has been on bringing the in-game football experience as close to the real thing as possible. Every new feature or tweak focuses on authenticity, and even the reactions and chants of the different stadium crowds are region-specific.

Nice score from Eurogamer. Can't wait till Tuesday.

TKCMuzzer4598d ago

It beggars belief that someone can disagree with your comment.
I think it's a nervous twitch for some people just to click disagree.

ElDorado4598d ago

9 from Eurogamer? Am I blind, am I hallucinating? It must be incredible indeed.

beast242tru4598d ago

fifa 12 i damn good IMO best soccer game ive played

Orion4598d ago

Oh, these american rugby fans... ;) lol

fluffydelusions4598d ago (Edited 4598d ago )

@Orion I'm American also but I hate the fact we call it soccer when the rest of world calls it something else. I try to point it out as often as possible when they say it lol. Maybe one day it will catch on here and we will start calling it by its right name. But then again we are still using the imperial system here so I don't know.

Rampaged Death4598d ago

Played the demo more today and I started warming up to the new defending system. Can't wait for the game on Friday !

eliasg4598d ago

Hilarious things happen when video-game physics go wrong

DSOGaming writes: "This article was inspired by a video that Elias Peppas shared with me. YouTube’s member ‘HelixSnake’ made a compilation of some epic physics fails from Skate 3. And this made us wonder; what could possibly go wrong in a video-game when physics engine go insane? Well, the answer is quite simple. You can get some gay stuff thanks to the Impact Engine of Fifa 12 & 13, spinning cars, boobs that can go up and down, and games with non-existent collisions (yeah, we’re talking about the legendary ‘Big Rigs’ game)."

Lol that Saints Row 3 one :p -- Damn now I feel like playing the game again..

bayport4199d ago (Edited 4199d ago )

Lol the Skate 3 vid looked more like a Garry's Mod vid

Lol @ one of the youtube comments

"Go home Physics, you're drunk"

PS3Freak4199d ago

I used to play a lot of Skate 3, so watching that entire video made me cry laughing.

SolidStoner4199d ago

I never played football games, I didn't know they are so gay!

knowyourstuff4199d ago

When game physics go wrong?

More like when game physics go *right* lol

ado9084199d ago

Idk why you got 7 disagree's. Although I thought the skating vid was funny especially when the guy fixes the bench and puts it back in place and another guy runs into it and knocks the bench and him over

Myst4199d ago

Meh doesn't worry me much anymore. People disagree just to do so, to rile people's nerves or something else. I've come to expect it

*shrugs*

Snookies124199d ago

LOL! That freaking Skate 3 video collection was just amazing... I want that game now...

Myst4199d ago

Lmfao I just saw it and I haven't laughed that hard in a while my eyes are watery.

Relientk774199d ago

Skate 3 looks fun haha

like all those clips were great

no_more_heroes4199d ago

LOLOL THAT was the funniest thing I've ever seen!!! Especially the Skate 3 compilation!!!

wastedcells4199d ago (Edited 4199d ago )

That was good times. Laughed so hard it made me want to search for more.

Sp1d3ynut4198d ago

I don't know that it's truly a bug....it is a Japanese game, after all. ;)

EA dodges accusations of FIFA 12/13 Wii being the same game

Go Nintendo - When EA was contacted about FIFA 12 being largely repackaged as FIFA 13 for Wii, here's what a rep had to say.

Go Nintendo seems to be scratching for news here. Sure, it probably is the same game, but what do you expect with Wii?

badz1494221d ago

this has been going on the PSP for so long! why complain now? it's no surprise that EA is not going to invest too much for a console that is in its way out and Wii versions are always just like the PS2 and PSP versions - cheap money grabbing ports! for FIFA, the money is always on 360 and PS3 since 2008!

I'm not defending EA here but that's what happen when even Nintendo has abandoned the Wii now!

dark-hollow4221d ago (Edited 4221d ago )

The problem is how much they ask for it.

$20-$40 is steep for this lazy repackaging and they take advantage of the ignorance of those who buy it.

if you don't want to invest in a dying system then don't bother at all, but don't rip off those who's still game on these systems and expect nobody to complain.

TheColbertinator4221d ago

lol EA repackaging old games into the new version each year?

Wait until the Madden fans find out...oh wait nevermind.

GillHarrison4221d ago

They literally mean the same game, with just updated rosters and logos. No other changes whatsoever.

TheColbertinator4221d ago

EA strikes again.

EA 18 - Gamers 0

profgerbik4221d ago (Edited 4221d ago )

Wow EA and here I actually gave you a little credit for Fifa 13.

Now I feel stupid. How are companies able to just rob people like this? Actually getting away with it being caught red handed also?

Can someone sue these basterds already, charging for online to play in old games, now this? Is this not enough proof they are greedy as shit?

Or am I missing something here?

wastedcells4221d ago

They probably don't even sell enough copies on wii to justify any major effort. They just release it with an updated roster for those who missed last years or new comers.

FIFA 13: 8 FIFA 12 Star Players You Should Consider Again

WC - Now that EA Sports have released this year’s addition to the FIFA franchise – and picked up a five star review from us in response – it’s time to get under the skin of FIFA 13, and cater to those players who will have already began to log some serious hours not only in online play against friends, but also in Career Mode and building their Ultimate Team from the ground up. And that means looking a lot closer at the players in the game, and at EA Sports’ ratings decisions.
