FIFA 12 is undergoing a real revolution with the new Contact Engine, designed to provide a realistic rendering of all interactions on the pitch.
Like real footballers, fight for the ball and face the physical challenge of keeping it.
Each contact now leads to an infinite multitude of results.
Players feel more resilient, give their all in winning the ball and recover more easily from light contact.
Completely redesigned gameplay brings even more depth and interest to FIFA 12. All-new Precise Dribbling gives forwards even more realistic touch on the ball in the tightest spaces and has more time to take their offensive initiatives, allowing them to have a greater influence on the pace of the game.
With the concept of Tactical Defense, the art of defense has been redesigned to be as technical and tactical as in real football. Positioning and pass interceptions are as important as tackles and now tactics and timing come first.
AI-controlled players now benefit from Pro Intelligence, the system that manages their lucidity, and allows them to act and make decisions based on their own technical background and inclinations.
They can thus analyze, in each situation, the strengths and weaknesses of their partners.
Transformed to become more aesthetic and innovative from the pre-match to the final whistle, FIFA 12 makes you experience every match with greater authenticity thanks to faster and more intuitive navigation, all with more than 500 clubs under official license.
New features will be presented in the coming months.
- The Contacts Engine - After two years of development, the game's new physics engine has been designed to provide a realistic rendering during each interaction on the field. Each contact now leads to an infinite multitude of results.
Players feel more resilient, give their all in winning the ball and recover more easily from light contact in order to maintain their natural rhythm.
- Pro Intelligence - Players controlled by the AI now benefit from a system that manages their lucidity and allows them to make decisions based on their own technical background, but also on the strengths, weaknesses and aptitudes of their teammates.
Players with exceptional game vision, for example, will sense opportunities for passing through that other players wouldn't. Arsenal strategist CescFàbregas will more spontaneously, and more quickly, analyze a team-mate's ball call than any other player less gifted than him in this area.
Additionally, AI-controlled teams will be able to vary their attacks based on their players' strengths on the pitch and the opponent's weaknesses. The matches will thus become more realistic and more varied.
- Tactical Defense - The art of defense has been redesigned from the ground up, giving as much importance to positioning, passing interceptions and tackling. From now on, tactics and timing take precedence.
- Precise Dribbling - Discover new ways to outflank your opponents and get more time to make your decisions by fully controlling the pace of the game. Use precise dribbling in tight spaces or when overrunning and even when trying to push back an opponent.
- Real injuries - Contacts between players are managed in real time by analyzing the force of the impacts and the place of the body where they take place in order to determine the possible injuries. The Career mode thus becomes more complete and more full-bodied. Manage new types of injuries and assume the consequences if a player returns to the field who is not fully recovered.
- A new presentation - The matches now have a new presentation, worthy of television broadcasts. The lighting has been completely redesigned, the audience is more authentic and a new default camera makes every match unique.
- More intuitive navigation - The menu system has been revised to allow faster and more intuitive navigation. The Main Menu is now customizable based on your Arena Player, Virtual Pro, and Favorite Club.
- Total Authenticity - Over 500 officially licensed clubs and over 15,000 players.
