I went to a FIFA forum yesterday to see how things are and let me tell you, ppl cry and bitch there just as much if not more than ppl do here about PES. All you have to do is substitute the name of the game and you have the same complaints and bitching.... I'll go over and copy some for you so could see how laughable it is.
Here are some remarks from FIFA12 players from their forum :
http://forum.ea.com/uk/posts/list/1186323.page
I tried everything to like the game, including buying PC version, but after 2 months trying to like the game, i just give up, and dump FIFA 12 for good., and switch back to FIFA 11, the reason is:
1. Awful Scripting Game, home many goal that you can score from 1-2 so easily and other type scripting goal. I dont feel as satisfied as I was playing FIFA 11. Just one two using Benzema and Ronaldo or Messi and Iniesta/Villa, , Then Goal.
2. Awful TD, it sounds good in concept but, its being implemented awfully. Some ppl says its so easy and some ppl
says its too hard. For me LD is beeter, thoes who play double pressu will somehow failed if you play good player in FIFA 11.
3. The way you up the rank, you will find 8/10 ppl. using 4231, and just TD let Defender do auto tackling.
4. No more teamplay goal like FIFA 11, just use Ronaldo and Messi pace and do 1-2 and GOAL!! pathetic goal to rutter.
5. Why on eath does EA invent precision dribbling where its the same function as pace control RB.
6. What annoys me most is collusion control, once your defender collided witn attackers, Defender just like being hypnotized and just saw attacked your hapless keeper
7. Even there is occasional LAG in FIFA 11, its manageable because playing movement is smoother but in FIFA 12, with LAG its almost impossible to contol player Rutter is so stupid to introduce stupid precision dribbling.
There is so many list thats annoys me but Thats all for now, maybe there is someone who like the game and i just say have fun and enjoy the game
But not for me and next year when FIFA 13 comes out, i wont pre oder just like i did in FIFA 09, FIFA 10 and FIFA 11.
I will try to play my friends copy first and try it before i decided to buy.
and those who maybe i say i'm noob, my WDL is 30-5-20, and most of the time i play unranked match.

Before any of you call me crappy im in division 1 and have been there since i got there within the first week.
This isnt just me because ive noticed a few people from fvpa forums say this, But the game really gets boring now, I played FIFA11 for the whole entire year, I had withdrawal symptoms if i didnt get at least 1 game in a day. Now i get bored after 2 games online, Ive only just started playing again after a week and half without even being botherd to put the disk in. I dont know what it is. I cant even manage to play 3 games in a career mode without reverting to turning it off with boredom.
I think its 5 things for me
1. The defending gets boring.
2. The CPU on world class is unbeleivable.
3. There is no sound when you kick the ball.
4. I cant win a game with Porto so must use other teams that im not intrested in using.
5. The pitch's for benfica, Sporting and Porto look like a sewer bog at night time.
6. Sick of giving away penalties that are clearly not * penalties.

Playing online beat this absolute noob 5-0 earlier today, 2 hours later we play again, I go 1-0 up in the first 2 minutes somehow I clear the ball Rooney chests it past puyol and pique from 30 yards and just strolls into my box as my defense stands there and does *, whatever, 1-1 and i knew how bad he was from earlier, he then clears the ball and Nani out jumps puyol on the halfway line and Hernandez runs twice as fast as Dani alves and gets into my box, valdez saves it and the ball bounces to Rooney who was back defending when this started and then somehow has an open net from 25 yards....
2-1 only on the 30th minute I am outplaying him all over the pitch and have around 70% possesion, he accidently shoots with his all out assisted controls fromhalfway and instead of simply catching the lolly-pop of a shot valdez runs to the edge of the box and palms it away... surprise suprise the ball bounces right to Hernandez who is turned in the other direction and somehow manages to do a 360 volley from 30 yards and score while valdez is still out of position.
I manage to score with Messi to make it 3-2 at halftime, for some reason after half time my team is unresponsive and start to miss the easiest chances and Xavi Iniesta and Fabregas cannot pass it for *, the slightest tap of the Y button and the ball would rocket away as if it had full power,.
Kind of sick of people who say "momentum doesn't exist you're just unlucky" luck doesn't explain losing to an absolutely * opponent who you beat earlier 5-0 with the same teams, it also doesn't explain why my through balls and passes stop working or why my defence and goalkeeper turn in 3rd tier players, not to mention all of my finesse shots despite the power go over the bar
Here are the stats from this Match
: Possession MU 32% Barcelona 68%
:Shots MU 5 Barcelona 14
:On Target MU 4 Barcelona 9
:Final Score MU 4 Barcelona 2

Has anyone notice how stupid the AI is in defending set pieces. So I give away a freekick either near the corner flag or just past the half way line , why the hell is RIO and VIDIC and SMALLING all in the wall while anderson rafael are in the box defending against Adebayor/ Crouch. The set piece is not going to be a shot at goal rather a cross into the box. How f-in stupid is this game?
Not only that , winning headers in this game is also a joke. How the hell do you win a one to one header? I get in the right position with vidic but he completly misses the blumin ball, and in another instance a cross came in and all it was faily simple to clear it away with a header but the AI decides to make Jones do a bycle kick in the air but he misses it.
WTF!

Let me preface this post by saying that I actually enjoy Fifa 12 for the most part. I will not be selling or trading this game in, partly due to the fact that it was a gift and because MW3 was released. I'll attempt to keep this short because I know how many of you dislike reading anything over 500 characters (this will probably be more).
Here is a short list of examples:
- Finesse shots are way too overpowered. They look and feel unrealistic as I score them or they are scored on me. They are difficult to accomplish in real life yet incredibly simple to execute even from long range in Fifa 12. I would at least encourage scaling back this specific shot type to semi or manual especially online.
- The rapid addition of TD and Impact Engine. Although the idea of these two things make the experience of gameplay brilliant, more enjoyable and realistic, they seem to have been smashed into a game that is almost unable to handle that sort of pressure. I often see players legs bending up onto their backs while running, highly rated defenders bouncing into each other giving away 1v1 situations with the keeper, fouls that should be at least yellow or red go unbooked and add in a little lag and your in for a frustrating match.
- The pace or speed of players seems inconsistent from match to match. Some games I'm blazing past some of the quicker defenders in the game with players who aren't super speedy. Other games I cannot round the corner and beat the slowest CB's in the game with players like Lennon or Nilmar.
- Lobbed through balls. Too effective from players with weaker passing attributes, unstoppable from the likes of a Xavi. When I play matches I expect them to be somewhat similar to or mimic the ebb and flow of a real 90 minute football game. I really don't see how anyone could enjoy a constant and ridiculous lofted through ball spam all game. It feels too robotic.
- The tempo of games. The ball moves too slowly sometimes, the tempo is quick too often. No teams counter attack every possession while holding high pressure. Even Barca will force turnovers and then switch back to a slow build. There should be limitations.
