Euro 2012 Game

Were you really expecting EA to release 4 football titles within 12 months?

Yes...

FIFA 2006 (September 2005)
FIFA Manager 06 (October 2005)
FIFA 06: Road to FIFA World Cup (November 2005)
2006 FIFA World Cup (April 2006)
FIFA Street 2 (March 2006)
FIFA 2007 (September 2006)

Maybe this means more time will be spent on FIFA13

And you wonder why that was all crap


How are people saying this isn't as much a full game as the previous installments of Euro/WC? what exactly would be missing from this to make it a full game, it just incorporates the Euro tournament into the current Fifa game, the only difference from the world cup game to Fifa 10 was the slightly updated game engine and graphics along with the teams (adding the Challange modes & local 4 player Be a Pro). If they don't want to rush a graphics and engine upgrade for Fifa 13 there is no point in putting out the game on a separate disc.


Also, more money "We expect that some fans who may not have FIFA 12 will want to play Euro 2012 and therefore purchase both, but the bigger opportunity for us is to offer our loyal and passionate FIFA fans new content." Guess they think people that didn't buy Fifa 12 are more likely to get it now, cheaper and then also get the Euro DLC, and will make people that already have fifa 12 not feel like they just threw full game money for a game that just adds 30-35 teams ( don't exactly know) and nothing else.

Well they said the qualification won't be in the DLC. That's like half of it. I guess a DLC is okay if they aren't adding new features. But if made a new full game it would need to have features that are worth it (like they did with the World Cup games).

The selling point of 2010 WC and co was the upgraded game engine, you were basically purchasing FIFA 10.5

This... you just couldn't get away with releasing Euro 2012 as a seperate game with identical gameplay as FIFA 12, at a price of £40. That really would be EA mugging us off.

KillHollywood on YouTube made a great point that was exactly what I was thinking. People moan when EA releases a full game and call them money-grabbers, yet when they release it as DLC, people moan that they should be releasing a full version and call EA lazy. There's no winning.

FIFA WC 2006 was an amazing game.

or.. different people have different preferences.

Calling FIFA Street 2 crap is simply blasphemous.

Is that the FIFA one or Double Helix?

Looks a lot like FIFA, only slightly better

Was it just me, or could the goalkeepers save fuck all?

FIFA.

It says at the end, "Only with FIFA 12."

The way Pique smashed his penalty in was a giveaway for me as well.

I can't wait. Germany here I come.

Will defs not be buying lol, same shit, different font

Will probably get it for the expedition mode. I have found that it costs £15.99, so that $32 here in Australia. Pretty expensive for the lack of teams, but will think about it. If we can buy it with Microsoft Points, ill definitely get it sooner rather then later.

EDIT: A few sites a confirming that 53 national teams will be added on top of what is in FIFA12.

Exactly, it's a shame anyone will buy it, this is content (the teams) that had EA been less lazy, could've been in FIFA 12 already. FIFA10 WC had a ludicrous amount of national teams, and that made it pretty awesome, aside from the much better gameplay aswell.

Playing the African scenarios where it was games like Sudan vs Kenya and shit was cool as fuck

The Egypt v Algeria WCQ playoff challenge.

Qatar vs Australia, China v South Korea. So many fun ones lol

Is it out yet? If so how much? Think I've got just over a tenner in my PSN if I can afford it I'll probably buy.

Edit: just watched the video, expedition looks interesting but yeh it's FIFA 12 in purple

Do they know anything about football?

And let's be honest, taking out the Expedition mode and the online tournament, all it's giving you is an offline tournament, without bothering to include qualifying for it.

So effectively, you can do that without shelling out £15-£20 on this by just creating your own tournament.

I'd rather they did full games. Or at least with a DLC, make something differet about the gameplay. Those 2 mentioned the commentary a few times, even that's practically the same.

When did this even come out?

It's out on the 24th I think.

Would have bought if it EA put some effort into it. Fuck buying it.

Looks different than I expected. This mode is kind of cool.
