The dawn is finally upon us and I'm sure all of you guys feel like kids again, anxiously anticipating the release of every footballer's favourite football video game, FIFA 12. Set to launch on the 27th of September, those at EA Sports have taken another prodigious leap in bringing the game that much nearer to reality.
Having religiously played the demo for the last few days, I must say that this is what we've been begging for since FIFA 98, when the series that subsequently followed was rightfully placed in the arcade genre of video games. However, I believe many will agree that FIFA 12 now feels more like a simulator than anything else.
The passing in this new series is precise and relies on vision. You must also be meticulous and certain of your passes or you wont be able to thread that perfect through ball. FIFA 12 has now gifted you the ability to execute your eagle eye vision and disgustingly split your opponents defence just as ruthless as pass-master Xavi Hernández. The shooting is rather similar in the way it feels and is based on how accurate you the player are with your controller. It really is a new exonerating feeling when contrasting to previous FIFA's.
FIFA 12 - VISION
For a blog, it would be a task far too tedious for me to dive into this video games' vast depths, just so I can explain how incredibly stable the defending feels and how revamped the career mode is, therefore...click here to read more about it. However what I can say on the former topic of defending, is that FIFA 12 has deservedly given a complete overhaul to it, granting defensive duties a more methodical and less haphazard feel to it. The game now feels equally oriented with how well one can defend as well as attack, making it harder to break down you're opponent.
FIFA 12 is one that will take some time to perfect, but that is expected of a game with such terrestrial dynamics. Despite this, it's more fun than ever, and will easily retain it's spot as a fan favourite. For me, it's a MUST buy and is definitely at the top of my wishlist.
