INTRODUCTION: DYNAMICS OF FIFA 12 REDEFINED
FIFA 12 enters the field, boasting the groundbreaking Player Impact Engine, revolutionizing the realm of football video games. This physics engine is crafted meticulously to mirror the physicality of real-world football in every on-pitch interaction. Innovations from the actual sport make FIFA 12 a more immersive and profound experience. Introducing Precision Dribbling elevates the ball control for attackers, while Tactical Defending redefines defensive strategy with an equal emphasis on positioning, interception, and tackling. AI-controlled footballers are also bestowed with Pro Player Intelligence, ushering in a new era of in-game intelligence and performance.
THE REALISM OF PLAYER IMPACT ENGINE
Two years of diligent development have culminated in the all-new physics engine, designed to replicate authentic physicality in every interaction on the field. The Player Impact Engine provides infinite natural and plausible outcomes in each contact. The footballers exhibit increased resilience on the ball and actively engage in the fight for possession. They recover more swiftly from minor challenges, maintaining their momentum in a manner proper to the sport.
TACTICAL DEFENDING: A GAME CHANGER
Tactical Defending completely transforms the way the defense is approached in FIFA 12. It shifts the balance, placing an equal emphasis on tackling and positioning, and intercepting passes. This strategic overhaul provides players a more comprehensive and satisfying defensive experience that rivals real-world strategies.
TRUE INJURIES: THE THRILL OF UNCERTAINTY
The Player Impact Engine further introduces a dynamic injury mechanism, monitoring player contact in real time. It scrutinizes the force of the collision and the subsequent impact on the players’ bodies to simulate actual injuries. This addition creates a more challenging Career Mode, where players must navigate new injury types and manage the risk of fielding a player who might not be fully recovered.
PRO PLAYER INTELLIGENCE: THE BRAINS BEHIND THE BRAWN
Pro Player Intelligence infuses AI-controlled players with self-awareness and capability. They now make decisions based on their skills as well as the strengths and weaknesses of their teammates. For instance, players gifted with exceptional vision will spot through ball opportunities others might miss. A player like Real Madrid’s Kaká would be likelier to notice a teammate’s run from a distance than a player with lesser vision. This adaptive AI ensures a more authentic gaming experience with a greater variety of matches.
NEW COMMENTARY TEAMS: A DUAL AUDIO DELIGHT
In a first, FIFA 12 features two commentary teams – Martin Tyler with Alan Smith and Clive Tyldesley alongside Andy Townsend. Fans can personalize their auditory experience by selecting favored commentators for matches. The dual commentary enhances the overall immersive experience of the game.
COMPLETE AUTHENTICITY: IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS
FIFA 12 presents complete authenticity, with over 500 officially licensed clubs and over 15,000 players. The game’s attention to detail also extends to the Precision Dribbling system. It allows players to enjoy new methods to take on opponents, allowing more time on the ball to make decisions and affording total control of the game’s pace. Close dribble touches in tight spaces and on the wings, even when fending off an opponent, showcase the game’s commitment to replicating the sport’s authentic experience.
