re: FIFA 12 IGN Review - 9.5 (Amazing)

If you played FUT last year, you can get two free packs now by logging on to the ultimate team web app. If you've got ultimate/special edition (for pre-orders I believe) you'll get 4/3 free gold packs a month for 6 months.

For those of you that don't know, FUT sort of like manager mode, but with trading cards, you strive to build the best team, you can also play people online, so it can be played like an online manager mode just with no actual seasons, just cups.

ETA: Here's my team for this season after getting my 2 free packs for playing last year, and doing a bit of trading

Damn man, you guys are hardcore. There was a group of us that started a club last year and had a lot of fun with it. So if you wan't to play clubs with no fear of being benched and still win some games you can check us out. What do you want them to change in clubs other than custom tactics? They may have made some changes, but I think the game engine change is more of their focus.

Saintsfan:For pro clubs, you have a bunch of people using their vp playing one position. You don't have to have a goalie or anything else, the cpu will take those spots if you don't have 11(which we never did). In fact it is hard to get a game if you have a keeper and/or more than 5 humans playing. Like EZ said, it is by far the most fun format of any sports game I have ever played.

pro clubs is definitely fun as hell! we all got to know each other last year on the TD squad and had good times

So, if I haven't played a FIFA game aside from the South Africa World Cup version, how much of a learning curve am I facing?

Awesome. I downloaded it via EA Season Ticket, but have been too wrapped up in College football, Madden Franchise games, and NHL to try it last night. I might give it a go sometime today.

I forgot to explain that the defensive controls have completely changed since 11 so we are all starting from square one on them. Out of curiosity, how big is the download file through the season ticket. I thought about doing this, but I figure that the file is so big, it may not be worth it.

it's absolutely worth it. You get a leg up on the competition (no pun intended). I can't remember what the download size was but I know that I have Playstation Plus and have my PS3 set to automatically turn on and download game patches, games, and other demos. So when I woke up yesterday morning it was downloaded and installed. The PS3 was only on for a 2 hour window.

Can you hold your own against the computer on professional yet? Not necessarily always win, but play, that's where you need to be for online IMO, or it was in previous games.

I wouldnt mind playing on tbe pro club. Its def harder and will take time getting used to the defensive controls. I have to change the wag i play completely.

So, I lost 3 games in a row and thought that I had no shot at winning a single game. Then I played another game, and I WON! 1-0. Then I had my confidence up a bit, and went and played another game..ended in a 0-0 draw. So I am now 1-1-3
