FIFA 12 Demo Thread (Demo out now!)

[killgod]

sounds like your typical EA Q&A, all of them across all titles are the same.

The NHL one at E3 was probably the most absurd one. With 30 minutes to go the lead dev is saying on the live video "well we don't have any new questions" meanwhile people are posting on the EA boards (and guys from here) that they are actually asking unanswered questions and all being ignored.

They have a specific set of info they are going to talk about, if nobody asks they fake the question to ask about it, if people do ask they'll post your question so it looks like they are truly taking questions, but it's a complete faux Q&A.

Justin Upton: All-Star gamer

PlayStation and Biz Markie.

That's how Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Justin Upton celebrated his second All-Star selection last night in Scottsdale. Markie, the legendary rapper/DJ who is still cashing checks from his 1989 smash "Just a Friend," was spinning tracks while Sony supplied video games in every corner of the club for Upton and his teammates/fellow party goers to enjoy throughout the night.

"This is how we do it," the 23-year-old Upton told me with a huge grin as Markie got the All-Star party jumping with a mix of Jay-Z and Michael Jackson. Then, as Upton and I start talking video games, we glance outside to see some model-type, tight dress and all, swinging for the fences in "MLB 11: The Show's" home run derby. (No wonder when you type in "Justin Upton" on the iPad it autocorrects to "Justin Uptown." You can't beat the combination of models and the PlayStation Move.)

"I'm a huge gamer," Upton said, admitting to bringing his system on the road in order to play "FIFA 11" as Chelsea in the hotel. "I play 'Halo' and the new 'Call of Duty' quite a bit, but lately I'm locked in on 'FIFA.' I can't wait for 'FIFA 12' to come out. I went from 'FIFA 10' to 'FIFA 11' and it was such a huge jump, and I hear that 'FIFA 12' is supposed to be even that much better, so I can't wait."

Aside from "FIFA," Upton says that he plays a lot of "NBA 2K11" while on the road against video game partner in crime, Chris Young. "We play all the time," Upton said with a laugh. "The two of us are always talking about video games. When 'The Show' comes out, we're the two who crack it open the day it comes out so we can joke with each other about our ratings. It's fun, but man, my ratings are terrible. Maybe I need to have a better season so I can get some better ratings next year."

And although Upton has owned just about every system, from the original Nintendo and Sega Genesis all the way up to the PlayStation 3, he still finds time to play the classics.

"A lot of clubhouses still have the old 'RBI Baseball' machines in them," he told me as Biz Markie flipped the track to Kanye West in the background. "We play the old arcade machines any chance we can. I love to play as the Reds in that game. They have to have one of the best teams in 'RBI.'"

Then again, when it comes to playing video games, to Upton, nothing beats the game setup he sports at home.

"I have a 70-inch TV for when I want to play, then I have a room with three TVs for when my friends come over and we're really getting after it," said Upton. "We have Xbox 360s and PS3s setup all over. You can play anywhere in my house.

"And tonight, we even have the games here at my party. We have everything. I love it."

I always love FIFA's soundtracks. Little something from everywhere always makes it interesting. And I highly doubt it'll be the best part of the game.

 

[Standard Brotocol]

The best song on there is the Crystal Castles with Robert Smith jam.

Fuck that, GIVERS is where it's at. They're from my hometown. PS the demo is out so go download that shit.

 

[Chrispy]

are u getting it on 360 or ps3

Just saw this, 360

 

[NAHSTE]

Can't wait to get home and DL the demo. FIFA IS MY SHIT DUDE.

 

[Irish]

Downloading it now

 

[Irish]

So did they fix Manager mode ..... :shifty:

 

[Irish]

Just played one game and I think I will have to take back what I was saying about NCAA being my last gaming purchase of the year.

The game does feel fresh and new with the better defense. Hopefully Manager mode is more indepth this year so I can play with Arsenal a lot, but I was pretty into FUT last year and that will probably be good enough for me honestly.

 

[FirstTimer]

Downloading this now. Haven't played FIFA in years but really looking forward to it.

If it makes my pants move I'm trading in NCAA

 

[Irish]

2 games in CPU still won't foul me unless I use skills. Luckily I am getting solid at using skills.

Also my 4-3-3 with Arsenal is getting around 6-7 shots on goal. Still my money formation. Only scoring from headers right now though :/

Edit: also I have noticed contact from the CPU and my players reacting as if it was a foul. So at least the game is recognizing contact.

 

[Survivor]

Does FIFA have sliders to make the defenders foul more often?

 

[Fappin Raptor]

I feel like the computer knows what I'm going to do on defense so they react before I get a chance to press the defensive button and then I'm left picking up my jock.

 

[Lanteri]

How's the pitch size? Is it still unrealistically small and congested?

 

[krulmichael]

Just played a game and it certainly feels fresh and my plans to purchase it are even stronger now than before. Glad some help was given to the defense and like others said, hopefully there are sliders that can be changed to make the CPU be more aggressive. Also Manager Mode is supposed to be improved this year as well with scouting and all that good stuff. Apparently there's "storylines" and what not by reading the little preview the demo shows.

PS The PES demo is out as well to compare and contrast if you sexy fellers would like.
