IncGamers: Fifa 12 Review

IncGamers: Since the onset of the current console generation EA’s Fifa has evolved into a true football lover’s game. Gone is the simplistic ‘pick-up-and-play’ nature that defined the series pre-2007, replaced by something altogether more in-depth, more complex, and more grown up. In its quest to replicate the real-life sport as accurately as possible Fifa has taken on an almost religious following of fans seeking the promised land of the perfect digital-beautiful game.

While we’re not quite in heaven yet, we’re getting closer.

fifa has always been the king in my eyes. even when pro evo was 'better' it wasn't better than fifa

konami should do themselves a favor and not bother

@PirateThom (below)

you make a fair point. perhaps i should rephrase my statement... i should not bother with pro evo (and nor should you - more online players on fifa!)

PirateThom4618d ago

The only reason FIFA has improved is because of ProEvo.

Konami should bother because it's only through competition companies will improve.

Ghost1074618d ago

The best football game I've played were International Superstar soccer on SNES, that game was just pure fun. Konami was behind that. I don't know why Activision get stick for yearly COD but sports game developers get a free pass for releasing the same game every 12 months. You got to be fair, if you're gonna blast one company for doing it then you got to treat them all the same.

iamironman4618d ago

sports games are different because they need to mimic real life. new season, new game. plus, fifa does a much better job than other games in changing a lot of stuff every year.

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..

bayport4220d ago (Edited 4220d 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"

PS3Freak4220d ago

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

SolidStoner4220d ago

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

knowyourstuff4220d ago

When game physics go wrong?

More like when game physics go *right* lol

ado9084220d 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

Myst4220d 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*

Snookies124220d ago

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

Myst4220d ago

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

Relientk774220d ago

Skate 3 looks fun haha

like all those clips were great

no_more_heroes4220d ago

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

wastedcells4220d ago (Edited 4220d ago )

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

Sp1d3ynut4219d 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?

badz1494242d 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-hollow4242d ago (Edited 4242d 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.

TheColbertinator4242d ago

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

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

GillHarrison4242d ago

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

TheColbertinator4242d ago

EA strikes again.

EA 18 - Gamers 0

profgerbik4242d ago (Edited 4242d 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?

wastedcells4242d 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.
