In fact, do that in FIFA 12 and you can seriously mistime the challenge and allow the player through. FIFA 12's impact engine makes tackles look and feel much more realistic, and will no doubt result in more player injuries! When two players jump for a ball in the air in FIFA 12, they will no longer always land together perfectly, but may fall depending on the contact made with the other player.ĭefending in general has been refined, and it's not longer possible to just hold down the 'pressure' button and expect the nearest defender to squeeze up and snatch the ball from the attacker.
The impact engine has arguably the greatest impact on gameplay, and it really changes the dynamics of tackling and contact in the game. These all - and especially the latter of the three - have a major impact on the gaming experience.
Building on the success of recent years, FIFA 12 introduces three main developments: precision dribbling, tactical defending and the player impact engine.
