Hi guys, I recently dug out 2012 and downloaded and updated with latest patches. I hated the game when it came out, thought I'd give it another go. Its still sh*t. Defending is a complete and utter joke in this game. Before anyone starts jumping in saying 'oh your just crap at the game'...

I agree with what you say about tackling, what I am trying to say is it should be up to the player when tackles are made not the AI. A major component of defending, just like passing and shooting for attackings should be up to the player. Anyway, all of this is rendered completely...

If you actually read what I said its not a matter of ability its a matter of control. If you can pass when you want, and shoot and everything else, why can't you tackle and defend when you want? I say a game is bad when instead of making a strong passing TEAM AI like Konami said they would, what...

I had some time to kill this evening so I thought I'd download the second demo and see if there have been some miracles performed by Konami. Sufficed to say it appears to be the same sh*te with different teams. Defending is still ridiculously crap, players are still dribbling like they're all...

Totally agree, keepers are unacceptable. They've probably been made like this out of some misguided idea of making it more entertaining. Another thing is about zonal positioning. Konami said, and you can find this all over the web, that zonal positioning of centre backs had been improved...

Do you work for Konami or something? The Keepers are unbelievably useless. I mean, come on. Shooting is also much the same as 2011 and PES6. I for one hope the rumours about Seabass getting sacked are true. The more I played the demo the more I wanted to slap his fat little face. This game...

Coincidentally I am happily playing Civ III as we speak, I'm not gonna mince my words. The demo was shit. People saying this is "nowhere near the actual game" and wait wait wait are deluding themselves. This game has to be pressed, delivered and reach the stores and everything else in just over...

The more time I spend playing the demo the more fucked off I get. The more you play the more you notice and the level of incompetence displayed by Konami goes from strength to strength. I gave the game the benefit fo the doubt on the first few plays but I've noticed enough now to make my mind...

Unless they fix the keepers nothing else will matter. This is a game breaker in my opinion. I don't want to be playing and all the time wondering when the keeper is going to do something stupid with a simple shot. Sure keepers make mistakes, but they don't let the ball go through their legs from...

Unless they fix the keepers and make the defending usable I will probably not bother with it this year. Everything else is good but those two issues will be deal breakers for me.

My updated impressions: 1. GK's are utterly unacceptably bad. Just conceded a goal from the edge of the area - the shot went through the keepers legs. I mean come on Konami, there are keepers in FIFA 97 better than this. FIX IT 2. Defending is too fiddly. Why can't there just be a standing...

My first impression is that the game is very good. AI is super tough but not artificially tough, I actually lost my first match v Napoli as United. Seems very well made. The game doesn't seem to be afraid to actually score this year which is good. passing is good, shooting seems good so far...

I'm downloading the demo now, I think I will play as many games as I can today and tomorrow on superstar if its available in the demo and tell everyone what I think. Hopefully I won't be disappointed.

I've had a good punt round, most of the links are dead as Konami are clearing it off. I suspect most of whats left is either fake or containing undesirables. Would help if Konami had a half decent website. The thing is a mess.
