Five years ago it seemed to me that the gap between FIFA 12 and PES in the opposite direction is comparable to that gap of ten years ago when the PES 6 trampled everything in their path. In those years, no one would think that this football simulation to go into decline. In Fife, this was expressed by speeding up the game so I’m still in a review of FIFA 13 said that I fear that it does not return the series arcade roots. Each subsequent release of EA Sports was walking along the edge of arcade, a transition to the new Frostbite engine in FIFA 17 lost and the loose balance.

I’ve been thinking for a long time if it’s purely personal impression that I accidentally got, but I’ve been in a similar situation when you did not want to admit misleading but now I do not believe that this was it. After PES 6 I was convinced that PES 2007 will be completely awesome game and I just got the 2008, I began to see some problems. To be honest, this year’s PES I played the demo edition (PS4 version) and I didn’t really liked it. I played Fifa 17 the demo version and then the game looked solid, but like I said – changes in the FAQ can be assessed only when you are playing against other players, especially those who do not know.

Immediately, therefore, went playing online matches, and for the first time since Fifa played on PC i was horrified. The constant appearance of the matches were: skipping games in midfield – players often roar into space, so all you need is to send the ball towards them. Here is with the basic controls less essential precision – it is more important to make the pass at the right time and what possibly cover as much of the field. Grabbing the ball is more difficult because of the new system construction, the fewer players decided to tackle before looking at how to cut the defense.

I admit, matches are exciting, the opportunity to lower the time on one side of the time on the other. At one point, the opponent can celebrate the goal, but the second time you can withdraw from the center of the action which virtually walk through the half as if there is some kind of pattern by which you know how that action should look like.

Of course, such things cease to something serious level with players who can play good defense, but this year the online matches I just noticed so far are not so much a trend. At the time when they start to lose, regardless of which minutes, many players rely on quick adjustment to play attacking and even ultra-attacking tactics. The game is therefore further accelerate, expand and reduce the counter-attack. Yes this was a sample of five out of ten of these matches. But my experience with Fifa 17 were in the vast majority of games just like that. When I scored a goal I’d feel like I did a fatality with the right combination of keys instead of the goal being the result of my gameplan or a fine move.

Journey mode is a nice novelty, but if you are looking from Fife beautiful football story on the ground, perhaps it is better that this season Spend on the bench or consider a possible transfer.

However, it would be a sin not to mention an excellent selection of music. Although it is very subjective and probably least important thing for a football simulation is better training with Alex Hunter performed with a musical background but in silence. So if that means anything, FIFA 12 is exceeded at least in part – for it does not need better evidence of this fact.
