Hour Zero

Fifa 12 has really become completely different.
I've downloaded the demo and failed miserably. All 5 games on professional lost, not score and frustrated. O-Ton: "The game definitely buy I do not!"
Today I look a little different back: Due to a great offer I hit too and tried my luck.
First the Tactical Defending (TD):
Tactical Defending is a real challenge, the short tutorial in the game brings precious little. The first games in Semi-Pro started, and against weaker opponents klappts quite well. Therefore my tip for the frustrated: get to know teams and the expiration First with ner 5 Star team against 2 to 3 stars!
Meanwhile, I love Tactical Defending. There are no stupid X-Press, you can develop its own defense strategy. One can from the center line with their ability to press draufgehen or detect only the passing lanes, go only in front of their own 16er at the man and ultimately counter. The latter strategy helps perfectly against stronger opponents.
This makes it really real, you have to see to it that no holes are torn in the defense and have the other team as a whole in view. Unfortunately, I feel the change severely persölich. Perhaps too serious. I would have liked a mode in which the promising Tactical Defending is connected to the old tactics. So to speak, a "Light-TD") This could have been introduce the players to better TD.
Nevertheless, I feel better than TD variant. Due to this fundamental change to a complete team behavior changed. 4-2-4 tactics from ancient times can be implemented Fifa worse 3 star teams can certainly beat stronger teams.

Addendum: In part, the new system can also be more than sobering. Since you have to concentrate very, what you press, the defensive actions need much longer. For the people who can really deal really well with the players (Rabona Fake, Rainbow, etc.), you will simply played relentlessly on the wall. Fortunately, this "pro gamers" are only the minority, so the bottom line is always hot-run games are played. A bored, as they will be addressed by some, I can not make.

The new Player Impact Engine is a further step forward, partly a little buggy but very appealing broadly. Players contacts have become very realistic and unique.

Otherwise, I'm really surprised that playing well "out of hand" goes after some time. After initial problems, one should not lose courage, therefore. And who did not get along with TD: It can change in the options. Unfortunately, only offline. One can almost anyway change everything, even the susceptibility to injury. This is of course a lot of gimmick, but EA lets the player as much freedom.

Especially appealing are also the small implementations that provide more reality. There would, for example, the dropped ball, the quick throw-ins and injuries without any external assistance. The new camera angle is fantastic. In general, the image has improved and so slow is a proper atmosphere in the stadium on. The ability to insert an own goal celebration and inlet music was of course retained. The commentators are extremely appealing as compared to the last parts.

One criticism of the past was the low range of play opportunities, which has changed significantly in recent years. There are a wide range of challenges and game modes, with the career mode has risen properly. With Ultimate Team, a new platform was developed, which is quite interesting. In what way to make money for the individual packs pays, everyone has to make up with him. To dispel any mode is to fully exploit the casual gamers spend several months, since the individual events have become so complex.

What I continue to feel disruptive, even if it is whining at a high Nivau soon:
- The ball looks like a bowling ball. In the repetition of the ball bouncing off the post, without deforming one millimeter. The same when shooting. I would like to because certain part elastic deformation.
- The selection of the stages is definitely too small. It need not be 36 stages from the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga, but it might like to be 10-15. Since I simply lack the variety.
