Staying on top
While PES reigned supreme in the past generation of consoles, FIFA has again been reference that relates to a football game. While in Brazil, the game still lags behind its rival in popularity and sales around the world the game extends its followers every year.
But unlike Konami, EA Sports is political: major innovations every year. And luckily, these innovations give a result and do not compromise in any of its versions. Therefore, it is worth buying a new version every year, something that did not happen in older versions of FIFA and PES, as in any noticeable changes with deparávamos only updates clubs and players.
FIFA also adopted a policy of "revolutionize" some elements of each version. FIFA 11 on the title revolutionized by allowing manual control of the goalkeepers in FIFA 12 that deserves mention is the new mechanics take the ball from your opponent, we'll see throughout the text. This in turn was taken from the first games of the genre, for 16-bit generation consoles.
Living as a player and manager
One of the most interesting modes of FIFA 12 is the Career mode. In it, you can choose to be a player, official or both. Although the last option is most attractive, is not easy to follow his career as a player and still need to manage your time.
The first difficulty in its dual-function is having to adapt the amount of options in the menus. In his role as leader, it behooves you to have to keep an eye on market transactions and take care of the athletes. You also performs the role of coach, need to seek options for his team before an injury or suspension of a player.
Already as an athlete, its function is much simpler. His only goal is to evolve to be called for selection of their country, for it must evolve its attributes on the field, keeping the tactical discipline, how to maintain your position and never opt for individuality. So for players who do not have much patience, how Career Athlete, is still the best option.
The fun is online
The online mode in FIFA 12 is still a major attraction of the game. Now, in addition to face random opponents without any form of punctuation or competition, you can compete in divisions. This is so simple: the player will have some games to accumulate a certain amount of points. This score will make you go, continue, or demotion.
This mode is called Head to Head Seasons. In addition to putting the player to manage the results, makes the level of the players look similar, because only opponents will face the same category.
Although soccer does not have an end, as the case of action games, adventure, RPG and others, the online mode allows the player to end the monotony of always playing against an artificial intelligence, which, although considered good, becomes easy for hardcore players.
Other game modes
Another tradition of the franchise is to present a good variety of game modes. Starting with the traditional national tournaments. Although our name has Brasileirão League of Brazil, the vast majority of national competitions have their official names. And although an official game of the federation, FIFA World Cup is not present in the game, being necessary to create a tournament and you opted for selections. Paid Live Season mode also still present. It is possible to play a full season with updates of actual European leagues.
And so if the Live Season is still being paid, the Ultimate Team, became free in this version. In this mode, which mixes football and card games, you get random cards with players, uniforms, and even cards that increase player attributes. With them, you must assemble your team and evolve, thus earning points that can be redeemed for more decks of cards or a letter with a certain high value. In FIFA 12, there is a greater integration with the rules of the game online, but without the need to buy mode via DLC.
Presence of national teams in generic
Another tradition is to bring the FIFA official leagues, clubs and more over its rival PES. For us Brazilians, we have all the clubs in the Brasileirão 2011 Series A, but not all in original versions with names and traditional uniforms.
This is a more complex problem than you think, and it involves a deal with EA Sports, with each club. However, it is not hard to figure out what these generic teams, such as A. Florianópolis Avaí respect to time.
What about the players, it is still possible to notice a certain relaxation in relation to the attributes of national players. Some prominent players in the league does not have the attributes that should have, in other words, many players are still good and should in relation to other stars who play the most prominent teams such as the European clubs.play the most prominent teams such as the European clubs.
Customization varied
Another attraction of the franchise is in relation to their modes of customization. Regarding the players, you can choose to spend thousands of combinations from simple hairstyles, even physical characteristics. And if not enough, you can choose to download and import a picture of your face for FIFA 12.
And with the teams, you can change the scaling of the selections and place your favorite athlete with hopscotch. You can also perform transfer of players manually, ie, the dream of every Tevez to Corinthians to take the helm can become reality easier than you think.
Changes in FIFA 12
Aiming to increase the level of realism, FIFA 12 features a new collision system that simulates the physical contact in a manner similar to what happens in real fields. With this, plus the player who has more physical strength to take advantage over the weaker opponent, the shoulder system functions as a form of "brake" your opponent.
But the change that most reflected in this new version was the mechanism adopted to steal the ball from your opponent. For many years, holding a button made the player without the ball going up the opponent and try to steal it automatically. In FIFA 12, it no longer exists, requiring the player to use another button to try to clear the ball at the right time, ie the time the ball is not accurate, you will be left behind.
Improved visual timidly
Another trend is clear in relation to the graphics of FIFA 12. Players have more details and facial expressions more convincing than was presented in the previous version. But the game still suffers the same as its rival PES, lesser known players do not have as much prominence as the others, so do not be surprised if one of your club athlete is very different from real player.
The scenarios also developed considerably, with a particular focus on the lawns that change depending on the location of the stadium. What disappoints is still some elements of it, as the crowd of twins and very badly drawn. The weather could also be further developed as a rainy day looks more like a TV interference.
Opponents donkeysWhile FIFA and develops the surprising elements in which we thought could not have any improvements, the game is still disappointing not to change what is not pleasing.
The biggest complaint is about the artificial intelligence of the players controlled by the machine. Only one way to define these virtual athletes: stupid. They simply do not understand your move, unless you "force" the so-called "one two", yet he often ignores an offside line.
And if you think that increasing the difficulty of the game solves all your problems, your mistake. The only difference between an easy game and one is the result of difficult moves. That is, while the easiest way the opponent loses an incredibly goal face to face with the goalkeeper, the hard way, an unassuming intersection falls exactly on the head of the opposing attacker, which in turn magically hit the goal.
For those who like challenges, is the most attractive one, but for those who prefer the ease of things, much like FIFA 12 when played with friends or in an online mode.
The eternal bugs
This also causes a lot of anger on the players is the fact that FIFA 12 also carry the curse of the bugs. They occur in many different forms, is a simple header to shoulder, to races in which the ball is for players who fall behind or over other in mysterious ways.
Neither the new collision system can escape this curse. Often faced with players falling like a stone just touching your opponents, or players who lose their balance without rival comes close.
Even with updates already available by EA, FIFA 12 still carries a lot and many bugs. The older players have become accustomed to them, however beginners and felt uncomfortable with it. And for fans of PES, one more reason to criticize the game rival.
Conclusion
FIFA 12 remains the best football game. The new collision system like, and the new mechanisms adopted to take the ball from the opponent promises to revolutionize future games of the genre. The online modes have more integration, especially with social networks, and are more constant over the network connection. What is still dislike the fact that the virtual opponents are well and the eternal stupid bugs that become the main argument in defense of PES fans.
