I fail at FIFA 12 because I play it like a footballer

The latest FIFA title makes great strides forward, but playing it with a soccer-player's mentality doesn't really work.

listenkids4485d ago

"Footballer" and "soccer-player" on the same page is annoying, to say the least.

That is all my input on this.

ablecain4485d ago

I've actually found that playing like a real footballer in FIFA 12 helps me be more succesful with the game. It's the first edition of the series where I feel like this is the case, actually. The overhauled defending mechanics have made it so that sprinting down the wings and firing in crosses is less succesful than defending and countering, or trying to unlock a defense up the middle. That's just my two cents.

If you play Fps like a soldier you will fail too

PeZuS4485d ago

What's up with the "Footballer" in the title and then the "soccer-player" in the description. Trying to appeal to Americans lol?

mafiahajeri4485d ago

HAHAHAHA yeah think so. I hate the word soccer such an ugly sounding word.

No point in trying to get Americans to like football they like that other sport with those guys with party hats like to jump on each other, cookie for whoever knows where I got that from! :D

Good article. As a PES fan I must agree that PES2012 is the same. The rewards for playing the game as a gamer are greater than using football principles.

In PES you dominate an opponent in possession and shots at goal but if a player exploits a shortcoming in the games AI he usually comes up trumps. Its annoying and something bith developers at Konami and EA need to look at.

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..

bayport4216d ago (Edited 4216d 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"

PS3Freak4216d ago

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

SolidStoner4216d ago

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

knowyourstuff4216d ago

When game physics go wrong?

More like when game physics go *right* lol

ado9084216d 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

Myst4216d 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*

Snookies124217d ago

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

Myst4217d ago

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

Relientk774216d ago

Skate 3 looks fun haha

like all those clips were great

no_more_heroes4217d ago

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

wastedcells4216d ago (Edited 4216d ago )

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

Sp1d3ynut4215d 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?

badz1494239d 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-hollow4238d ago (Edited 4238d 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.

TheColbertinator4239d ago

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

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

GillHarrison4239d ago

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

TheColbertinator4239d ago

EA strikes again.

EA 18 - Gamers 0

profgerbik4239d ago (Edited 4239d 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?

wastedcells4238d 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.
