FIFA 12 gameplay details next month

OXM promises reveal in new issue

EA Sports' FIFA 12 is set to finally be revealed next month.

That's according to the next month page of the new Official Xbox Magazine UK, which promises a full reveal in its next issue, which is on sale on May 9.

It'll be the first time the public's heard proper gameplay details on the new instalment, following comments from the developer itself suggesting that AI and set-pieces will bet two of the areas it will look to improve on in FIFA 12.

Player stories and match-day atmosphere were added to that list by EA Sports earlier this year.

An EA Linkedin page has suggested that the new FIFA game will be released on NGP and 3DS.

    I'd love to see a bug free release and more online customisation options, so I can ban the Chelsea/Real Madrid "fans". I'll probably hold off on this until after the January transfer update though.

    All that I ask for is that it doesn't save every time I breathe in and that the menu's are much quicker and simpler to navigate.

    Everything else is pretty much spot on.

    I just hope they give the PC version some more love, FIFA 11 was an improvement over past PC versions, but it's still just FIFA 10 with 11 slapped on it. I want the proper version :P

    I'd like more effort in Manager Mode which came on a long way in 2010.
    First, please have players getting injured more and not just in game (training problem, the flu, bar fight). At the moment mine are nearly invincible.
    Can they also get upset? I'm sure my star players would demand a transfer in real life if I left them on the bench all the time and my young stars of the future would like the odd loan too. I bet the owners wouldn't like it either.

    Temp ban quitters and perma ban the persistant ones. At the very least do what MvC3 does and pair them against themselves. Then I'll actually play online again.

    Oh and make it so that people can't pause the game so often. In two consecutive games online I had my opponent pause while in possession repeatedly to try and put me off (or make me quit). They ended up quitting when I took the lead and I stopped playing after that.

    So in short; sort the online out EA.

    BETTER MUSIC!

    BETTER MUSIC!

    Solution to that is simple if you've got a PC running. You can share playlists and run them as the menu music. Really nice feature so I don't have to listen to some of the, for want of a better word, mental music that they stick in there to try and be 'diverse'.

    24 hour bans for quitters or deduct their whole points tally.Also can you fix the freeze issue on & offline for the slim ps3's please.

    You can add your own playlists on ps3 aswell,its in the menus.

    Fix the auto-switching it is simply broken.

    You can simply make a custom playlist in the sounds section? I thought that was one of the best new features of this years fifa, no more rubbish indy bands for me.

    Controversial, but i reckon they should axe be a pro from career mode. I found that career mode was ruined cos all I ever tried to do was get my pro to score all the goals and be man of the match all the time.

    If they want to make something as addictive as the master league they have to promote the feeling of building a team. In it's current guise your team mates are just a side show and so the real feeling of team play is lost.

    think i'll get this one. Decided to skip 11 after getting 08, 09 and 10.
    i'll probably notice the improvements a bit more after having a year off

    FIFA 11 is terrible for bugs, so you didn't miss much.

    I'd love to see a bug free release and more online customisation options, so I can ban the Chelsea/Real Madrid "fans". I'll probably hold off on this until after the January transfer update though.

    You have the right idea, its much cheaper and all the updates are done.

    Check the forums after release and you will then know how many bugs.

    Let's hope EA now have these so called testers to make this one to remember, as they do not support this game
    at all.

    An improvement to me would be better through balls and a better be a pro camera. Not only this but it is annoying when players turn you down during a window for really small things and you cannot renegotiate. A challenge mode would be good as well. Scenarios such as half time in the 2005 CL final and you have to play as Liverpool and win or the season when united came back to steal the league from Newcastle, things like that, i think would be interesting.

    Make the online actually work, the matchmaking is c**p and when I do get a game it has a lot of lag and is just awful and pointless to play Fifa '10 was better

    This is my general experience with PSN on the PS3 -

    The other night my friend came round and we played online together. We came up against one guy who was always Chelsea.We played the first match as Man City and lost 3-1. We played the second with Tottenham and lost 1-0, and played a third with Bayer Leverkusen and lost 3-2. There was nothing to complain about in these matches, no lag, no exploits, we were wasteful and he wasn't.

    Anyway, in the fourth match we went with the scum, Man Utd, and went 1 nil up in the first half. just after the second half kicked off we scored again and then the game froze. My friend had come across this before. Apparently some players use a lag switch to freeze the game and wait for their opponent to drop out and collect the win. In some horror stories, these tools leave their PS3s on all night just to get the win.

    I sent the guy a message saying "I'm not going anywhere, cheating pr*ck" and waited. After ten minutes the game suddenly unfroze and the guy tried to score from the kick off. We got the ball and launched up the pitch and scored a third. And the game froze again. As we waited, I got my laptop and found PSN's EU griefer complaint form, filled it in and sent it off. The game unfroze and the guy just did his best to waste time and be as annoying as possible. in the 89th minute, he quit.

    His name, which I think you should all know and block straight away, is FORPIDATOR.

    I know it might seem lame, but I've always prided myself on my 0% DNF on the FIFA games, and have had it since all versions since '08. It proves I'm not a cheat, or a rage-quitter, and that whatever the result, you'll get a full match. With asses like this, though, you truly wonder why...

    please take this into consideration:

    for the be a pro mode, please put training for different positions on the field as was in madden nfl 07, like the midfielder takes a long pass and aims at a target or trough a hoop or smth. like that, keeper defends shots from other players, defender covers a line or players, attackers practice shooting or speed etc., and put this training for all of the positions on the field so the person who plays the game can pick what will he improve on his pro, and put in the be a keeper mode (for pc), the career mode should be never ending, and i would appreciate if the stadium improvements will be visible on the stadium itself, not just in the higher fan number...

    well, these are my ideas, i love the game this year and hope that it will continue on this course the next year, way to go ea!
