Fifa 12

Hi guys!, I am going to talk about a great soccer simulation experience. I just bought the Fifa 12 game and since I got it I haven’t stop playing. I mean, it has a lot of new features, and a lot of new surprises.

First of all, the difference between Fifa 11 and Fifa 12. Most of the people may think that every year this kind of games are just stealing money from our wallets, but when I say that Fifa 12 is a lot different from the last year’s Fifa, I am serious. This autumn Fifa arrives with a new level of sensibility. Now when you try to take the control of the ball, it is really close to your feet, letting you do whatever you want with it. Also, I saw the precision of the dribbles between players, and I can assure you that, if the defender does not touches the ball he will not take it off of you.

Another feature that is in the game is the new impact engine. Now, while playing, you will see that the players will react at the shocks according to them. If any player is being tackled in his right foot, his right foot will be the first part of his body that receives the impact. Finally, maybe one of the features that will create the most controversy, is the tactical defending. Now, instead of just holding ‘B’ when you don’t have the ball, you will need to get more into it, to really be in the game playing, and to really do an effort to get the ball. Personally, I like this a lot because I think that by getting used to this, the defending will be easier for everybody, and the matches will be more competitive.

In conclusion, an average person may not be able to see the difference but, if you are a real fan of soccer and a huge fan of Fifa, I recommend you to play this game. Definitely the best soccer simulation so far. For the next week post, I will be writing about a special feature of Fifa 12 career mode so, be prepared.

The controversy of Carlos Tevez

Today I am going to make a little review about the things that happened on last Tuesday (27/09/11). Bayern Munich gained 2 – 0 against Manchester City for a Champions League match, but this is not the big controversy. The thing is that, when Manchester City was partially losing 0 – 2, the Italian trainer Roberto Mancini asked player Carlos Tevez to enter the field when he refused to play. There’s still a lot of controversy for what really happened because Tevez said that it was just a misunderstanding, but Mancini ensures that he didn’t wanted to play. Now this case is under investigation, and Tevez has been suspended for two weeks, while the situation is being solved. (Mediotiempo.com)

In my opinion, I think that Tevez actually refused to play against Bayern Munich. Maybe he said that his intention never was to not play because he wanted to be in the starting eleven, so he possibly got mad and refused to enter as substitution in the last twenty minutes of the game. I may say that if Tevez truly refused to play, Mancini is correct with his decision. Soccer player have contracts, they are committed to obeying what the trainer says to them, and if any player refuses to do his liabilities, the club can do exactly the same, I mean, the club can stop paying them, and can also expelled them from the institution for not fulfill its contract. And this is exactly what Manchester City should do; the club must establish itself as the one ahead.
