[FIFA 12] Some questions?

Posted by India aprec8ZIEZORR on 2011-10-05 22:49:18
Hello Tek-9,

I just bought FIFA 12 (playing sinds 07) a few days ago, the game is amazing (except for the new defending system, but hey you can turn that off). But after the playing for some time now, a few frustrating things occur when playing the game.

1. First of all my attackers are always slower than the opponents defenders, so a fast break away seems almost impossible as they will get the ball back with one simple tackle.

2. When the oponent is running with the ball, and I press S or D to make a tackle, some how the defenders don't really tackle. Nothing happens then a useless push... So basicly the opponent has no trouble bringing the ball in front of goal

3. I get like 20 shots on goal per game and the keeper catches/blocks them all, while my opponent just gets one chance and scores immediatly.

Any one els experiencing thos first 2 points? and maybe the 3rd?

/ discuss

Was the same on fifa11. Defenders become faster usain bolt to chase down your attackers. As for shooting, thats perhaps beacuse of you. Try curve shots and placement depending on the player and position. Also thanks for the update about being able to turn the new defending system off. That has me raging every game.

You can take control of the keeper yourself in 12, who knows, maybe they're saving your shots. You need to get out of the mind frame of playing the game like Fifa 11, things that worked then don't work now. Players cant push through 6 people to go on and score. Balls over the top are pointless unless you know you'll definitely go on to win the ball. Precision dribbling works well on the edge of the box, try slowly playing up the pitch and don't be afraid to shoot from distance or finesse from 25 yards.

Ultra attacking seems to be the key (if you're too lazy to switch it up during the game), and a fast team. Everyone seems to go Real or Barca but that boring as fuck, Inter with Forlan up front and also has a great defense and some speed along with Bayern.

1. Buy players with good acceleration and sprint speed and time your passes better.

2. You'll master it with time, it's not that hard as it seems.

3. Practice! :D

I love the game apart from one thing, every time I or my opponent hits the post my fucking game crashes! If someone knows a fix would be so grateful. Otherwise the game is quality.

well firstly you cant go for a mad messi run with a player who doesnt have the speed to do it and secondly you will get used to the game after a while and figure it out yourself

1) attackers should be as fast unless you take shit teams or u get pulled by a defender (u can do that too)

2) To pull an attacker you have to hit your "pass" button (X for PS3) and then your "shoot" button (O for PS3)

3) There are easy ways to make a goal, everything depends on your angle and the way you place your ball. Easiest way is to get an angle from left to right or right to left and just shoot the ball but not hard so that you just place it bottom right or left. Very hard ball to catch for all keepers (it all comes down to the angle your shooting from).


Just keep playing the game, you will get used to it.

The otherday i played a game for fun. barca against groningen.

shots on goal: barca 23 - 3 groningen.
end score: barca 0 - 2 groningen.

I'm a kinda experienced player, as I play the fifa series for a long time and have never experienced this problem. I use finesse shooting and everything, but turned tactical defending of. But still as i slam my S and D buttons on the controller. They hardly do anything to grab the ball away from the oponent.

But when I attack, the opponent always has like 10 man behind the ball, making it impossible to get to the goal. A break away never occurs.

More over they catch the ball with one simple push/tackle.. this game is so frustrating.

Defender being faster then the forwards is a placebo, its alot about how good your attacker is with the ball, lets say drogba for an example:

+strong
+great with the head
- +quite slow untill he reaches full speed, when he does he is even stronger
+great shot
- almost never beats the defender in a 1v1 ball on who reaches it first

Neymar, lennon, walcott, messi, iniesta, etc:
+fast as fuck
+reaches fullspeed really fast
+great with the ball, so he can move fast and still have controll of the ball
+ kinda weak
+ almost always win 1v1's (if u r good that is :p)
- bad with the head
- got no chance vs defenders in strength

if u know what i mean :p then you have CR7 who is complete :D

You cant really expect drogba to be faster then dani alves or thiago silva :D

Go into the arena, you can see the circle as to where it's going to go. You need to basically get the arrow in the middle, set your power, then hold the direction for a certain length of time.
