E3 2011: FIFA 12 New Features Detailed

E3 2011: FIFA 12 New Features Detailed

EA stepped up at their conference to talk about and showcase FIFA 12 and some of its new and exciting features. The game is being  labelled as the “most authentic FIFA ever”, and it’s looking pretty exciting.

To begin with we were shown the first part of a new trinity of gameplay features, namely the  “Tactical Defending” system, which is designed to make defending as skillful and meaningful as it is in the real world. Timing and tactics are key and positioning is now as important as the actual act of tackling.

    This system goes hand in hand with the new “Precision Dribbling”, allowing players to “maintain control of the ball in close quarters”, and giving players a greater control of the ball and pace of the game, opening up new attacking possibilities.

    However, the biggest gameplay innovation according to EA is the final part of the trinity, specifically their new “Player Impact Engine”, which has been in development for more than two years and allows the delivering of real world physicality to all interactions on the pitch. Players now take “dramatic falls, suffer true injuries, and maintain momentum to fight through tackles and challenges, and push and pull one another as they fight for the ball.”

    A new social interaction system was also unveiled for FIFA 12, namely the EA Sports Football Club, which is about four big things and will be the heartbeat of FIFA. The first is a “Live Service”, which will be fresh and new all the time, and updated all year long, connecting players to the real world of football. Throughout the year the developers will be injecting challenges and story-lines that are taken right from the pitch’s biggest matches.

    It will be a social service at its core, allowing fans to “Connect and Compete” with players around the world and allow players to have a deeper connection with their beloved clubs, creating “Persistence and Presence” across platforms. The system will be available at FIFA 12’s launch at no additional cost, and will connect you to your friends and show progression for all FIFA experiences in the future.

    EA Sports Football Club works in that you choose your favourite team and are then instantly connected with millions of players around the world. Everything you do in the game will add to your experience points and level progression, and you will get to compete with your friends and track their progress via online leaderboards.

    You’ll be able to take on challenges based on real world occurrences and match happenings. It was demonstrated by the EA spokesman, who chose Tottenham Hotspur as his club, that he could choose the challenge to change the result of Man City VS Tottenham which happened back on May 10, where Tottenham lost 1-0. By taking on this challenge and winning the match, he’d earn redemption and progress in his leaderboard. Furthermore, he’d be working together with other Spurs fans to push the team to the top of the virtual leaderboards through their triumphs.

    Through the system you’ll be able to share your achievements and accomplishments and news, and keep track of friends and everything football.

    That wrapped up FIFA 12’s demonstration, and more announcements, information and innovations will come throughout E3 and the year.
