Addiction with frustration factor ...

Now, after several 100 online games, mainly with Bayern Munich, I would like to describe my experience times. I rate here only the online mode, there does not interest me the rest continues. Due to the high number of reviews I would not lose too many words.

After the initial delight with the new game and the promised great changes, but then returns relatively quickly disillusion. But now first things that struck me positively:

+ The graphics and the chants have become a bit better than the previous
+ The online mode is now much more interesting. By ascent and descent opportunities along with the Cup tournaments but much more pleasure comes to ... one goes motivated to work.
+ The players seem more flexible and dribbling drops a lighter than its predecessors ... Skill moves are also easier to introduce
+ Before the gate is now a faster completion possible. Volley shots work much better and the players need before shooting one or two step less
+ The throw-ins let off and run too fast
+ The new defensive system is the whole game seem more realistic, at least in part ....
+ You start not quite so many stupid headed goals as the previous one
+ The new Player Impact Engine allows many situations appear realistic

Unfortunately, it was already with the positive points. But the Aufreger outweigh definitely. I must say that I, despite all the weaknesses of the game yet again to tend to become addicted ... Football just makes me too much fun. I need these online challenges. What EA has however partly because mortised is pretty laughable.

Most negative aspects are only noticed from League 8, since it is also demanding from then. Meanwhile, I have done it in League 1. The following things I find less tingling:

- The commentators were transferred 1: 1. I find that very very weak ... but at least you would be able to exchange the stupid sayings if you have not changed the commentators
o The passport system has some dropouts that can bring one into dangerous situations. I do not want a player allude 30m behind me when running two colleagues beside me. This may make some broken and counterattack to the opponent to initiate (** still occur this strange passes, but it is becoming less)
o The walkways are usually not optimal ... the players are often in around offside or break the run into the free space suddenly (** also the paths are often not optimal, but you learn to deal with it)
-o While it is great that finally quick throw-ins are possible, only this works only when more than 1/3 of all objections. Often the player is right next to the ball, but does not access ... in need of improvement (** now annoy me the most throw-ins almost. The player is so often right next to the ball, but a quick throw-in does not state. Instead, it is short loaded and all the players are again lined up, so that the possible advantage can not be played)
-o are Player Impact Engine still too many errors. Regularly fly Players strangely through the area ... that has to penetrate what to do. (** The improved MMN positive)
-o Canceled games are now rated allegedly after game ... I do not know, but I have not noticed much of it. Just the other day I lead 2: 0, then cancels my great EA connection. The opponent gets the win ... (** had already cases where the EA verb broke off, but it had no negative impact -. Improves)
-o The connection to the EA servers breaks too often from ... if at least the assessment would be correct, if it were indeed only half as wild (** hardly crashes at me available -. Why also always by my technical equipment has not changed)
- If you break the game within the first 5min from, so it will not be counted. Infuriating if you achieved a rapid goal and the opponent thinks that he has no desire to defeat. (**, However you will probably never be able to do something other than scoring goals later ;-)
- There is no distinction between national and club teams. I do not want to play with Bayern Munich League 1 against someone with Spain ... that's just bad. It's good that you know the other team until the game starts, but teams should have only national teams as opponents.

* - 1.02 patch
** - 28/02/12

Now even the two, in my opinion, the biggest Aufreger:

- Tactical Defending: It's all well and good that EA something new, the real football appropriate, defensive system introduced, but it is by far not everything that glitters is gold. Of course, one must find pure ... it takes a while and then goes quite well to first. At a certain level, but you realize that no pig can do something with it (I will get to the next point again). It is simply not good enough close in on the enemy. A good player with a good team can because ball almost infinite opens long before the 16er back and herpassen up a gap. With players like Messi or CR can be far too easy to dribble opponents ... you can give me this defensive system simply does not permanently stable stand in defense ... it works for a while, but then comes one of the many, many counter or dribbling actions and the player is through. (** Again heals time and experience, most wounds, but sometimes it's impossible to prevent a breakthrough)

(***** - Switching to the goalkeeper in the game with SELECT: Because EA has the bird shot ... in minutes 50% of opponents between League 8 and 4 have not defended myself against the great new way at any time.. to switch on his goalie in the game opened to anyone who can not get used to the new defensive system or wants to have take his defensive work by the computer and to confine themselves to the counter attacks. I think that's a huge joke ... As an honest player struggles you off to ask the defense .... well then you get to the front and the players are ranked in the defense. As soon as you make a mistake then you will be countered mercilessly as these Vollpfosten course, always real, Barca, Spain or otherwise who have.

Of course you have, if you can einigermaßern dribble well because often the chance to come up in the 16er. However, it needs around some back and cross passes to the 16er until the gap is open, or you can enter dribble. But fail to do so, regardless of what kind of error, the player will turn active again into play and counters. Try it for yourself ... you will see that your defenses then is definitely better because the Tactical Defending is just shit (against good opponents). Here also, the rule is: Who runs, loses! The CPU defense reacts especially well on players who have come running. Since the ball is faster away than you think and the opponent can run again its great counter .... With football and the fun of the game that has precious little to do. *****)

On the whole, I am more disappointed than happy ... the finger I'm still can not let them. For this it makes me too much fun ... but the fun comes not necessarily from the great innovations of FIFA 12, but my passion for football games.

Those looking to stay on the cutting edge, is eh not around to pick up the game. As PES 12 is compared, can not judge not. I'll stay here anyway ...

It remains the hope of further patches, iron out some of these things again ... until then I'll probably have to swear a few times!

Who an opponent for games looking now and then in between, I can gladly adden. My PSN ID: daredeeds

****** 1.02 patch from 17.10.2011 *****

Through the patch some things for FUT were mainly corrected. However, what most pleases me is the fact that now my biggest gripe "Switching to the goalkeeper in the game with SELECT" has been fixed. It is no longer possible to turn in the game by pressing the SELECT button at the goalkeeper and to manage the defense of the computer !!! Nice that EA has entered here on the reviews of the players!

I also did the same by 10 games in league 6 and 5 and, what can I say, I'm excited! The difference is very noticeable. I have none of these games are lost because the opponent will now have the same problems as defense and thereby also can no longer align itself on the counter attacks. The game makes me now back online more fun ... not just because it runs better for me, but also mainly because the game again oriented more towards realism!

The patch can my vote for the game ball from 3 to rise to 4 stars! Generally enough of however for me still not quite to the 4 stars ind overall. If more points are touched up with the times, be happy ...

** Now, after 5 months after release and some improvements as well as the ever-growing experience, I can now assess with 4 stars which it has then it deserves the game !!!
