FIFA Soccer 12

FIFA 12 is a soccer simulation built around a physics system that governs player collisions and contact across the pitch. It introduces Precision Dribbling, which gives attackers finer control when moving with the ball at their feet. Defending got a structural overhaul—Tactical Defending shifts focus from just tackling to reading plays, positioning your defender, and cutting off passing lanes before committing to a challenge. AI teammates run on what EA calls Pro Player Intelligence, meaning they're meant to make smarter positional decisions without your input. The changes target a slower, more deliberate style of play compared to earlier entries in the series.
