FIFA 12 undergoes a true revolution with the new Impact Engine, designed to deliver a realistic rendering of all interactions on the field. Like real footballers, fight to win the ball and face the physical challenge of keeping possession.
Every contact now leads to an infinite variety of outcomes. Players feel more resilient, give their all in the battle for the ball, and recover more easily from light contacts.
The completely redesigned gameplay adds even more depth and interest to FIFA 12. Thanks to the brand-new Precise Dribbling, attackers enjoy an even more realistic touch in tight spaces and have more time to take offensive initiatives, allowing them to have a greater influence on the pace of the game.
With the Tactical Defense concept, the art of defending has been rethought to be as technical and tactical as in real football. Positioning and intercepting passes are just as crucial as tackling, and now tactics and timing take precedence.
AI-controlled players now benefit from Pro Intelligence, the system that manages their awareness and allows them to act and make decisions based on their own technical skills and tendencies. They can analyze, in every situation, the strengths and weaknesses of their teammates.
Transformed to be more aesthetic and innovative from pre-match to the final whistle, FIFA 12 lets you experience every match with greater authenticity thanks to faster and more intuitive navigation, all with over 500 officially licensed clubs. New features will be introduced in the coming months.
- The Impact Engine - After two years of development, the new physics engine was designed to deliver realistic results during every interaction on the field. Every contact now leads to an infinite variety of outcomes. Players feel more resilient, give their all in the battle for the ball, and recover more easily from light contacts to maintain their natural rhythm.
- Pro Intelligence - AI-controlled players now benefit from a system that manages their awareness and allows them to make decisions based on their own technical skills, as well as the strengths, weaknesses, and abilities of their teammates. Players with exceptional game vision, for example, will sense through passes that others might not see. Arsenal’s strategist, Cesc Fàbregas, will more spontaneously and quickly read a teammate’s run than any other player less skilled in this area. Additionally, AI teams will vary their attacks based on their players’ strengths on the field and the opponent’s weaknesses. Matches will thus become more realistic and varied.
- Tactical Defense - The art of defending has been completely rethought, giving equal importance to positioning, intercepting passes, and tackling. Now, tactics and timing are key.
- Precise Dribbling - Discover new ways to outmaneuver your opponents and gain more time to make decisions by fully controlling the game’s rhythm. Use precise dribbling in tight spaces, during overlaps, and even when trying to fend off an opponent.
- Real Injuries - Player contacts are managed in real time by analyzing the force of impacts and the body area affected to determine possible injuries. The Career mode becomes more complete and challenging. Manage new types of injuries and face the consequences if a player returns to the field before fully recovering.
- A New Presentation - Matches now feature a new presentation worthy of TV broadcasts. Lighting has been completely redesigned, the crowd is more authentic, and a new default camera makes every match unique.
- More Intuitive Navigation - The menu system has been revamped to allow faster and more intuitive navigation. The main menu is now customizable based on your player in the Arena, your virtual Pro, and your favorite club.
- Total Authenticity - Over 500 officially licensed clubs and more than 15,000 players.
