FIFA 12 brings to the pitch the game-changing new Player Impact
Engine, a physics engine built to deliver real-world physicality
in every interaction on the pitch. Experience the way real-world
footballers challenge each other for the ball, win possession,
and test each other physically. Enjoy an infinite variety of
natural and believable outcomes in every collision. Players feel
more resilient, push and pull during the fight for possession,
and recover from light challenges more easily.
Revolutionary gameplay innovations make FIFA 12 deeper and more
engaging. All-new Precision Dribbling creates a higher fidelity
of touch on the ball for better control in tight spaces, more
time to make decisions on attack, and more control over the pace
of the game. Innovations in attack are balanced by a re-designed
defending mechanism, making it as skilful and meaningful as
real-world football. With all-new Defending, positioning
and intercepting passes are as important as tackling. Tactics and
timing are crucial. Plus, CPU players have been infused with Pro
Player Intelligence, a self-awareness that enables them to behave
and make decisions based on their own skills and tendencies, and
gives them the aptitude to understand the strengths and
weaknesses of teammates in every situation.
Introducing EA SPORTS Football Club—the heartbeat of FIFA 12—a
live service connecting players to the real-world game with
fresh, new content all the time, enabling them to support their
favourite club and connect and compete with their friends, rivals
and millions of other players around the world. Additional
features will be revealed in the months ahead.
Key Features:
* Player Impact Engine—Two years in development, the new physics
engine is built to deliver real-world physicality in every
interaction on the pitch. Experience an infinite variety of
natural and believable outcomes in every contact. Players feel
more resilient on the ball, push and pull during the fight for
possession, and recover from light challenges more easily,

the weaknesses of sing players, creating a more authentic
experience and greater variety of matches.
