Don't Miss FIFA 12 the Atual Game Play from EA sport

See more Game Videos at EA.com.
A few years back, EA completely reinvented football (soccer for Yanks) with full 360 degree movement. FIFA 12 has just as significant an improvement, offering great player control and some excellent new gameplay additions. Seriously, once you play FIFA 12, it’s impossible to go back to FIFA 11.
There are four major improvements to FIFA’s gameplay: Redefined control, new physics engine, better defending, and player-specific AI. EA gave me its spiel, which sounded good, but then I got a chance to play a match in FIFA 12. It’s not boastful on EA’s part — FIFA 12 is an incredible improvement over FIFA 11.

For the past few FIFA titles, it appeared you had good control of your player. But turning was an odd thing. Players circled as if they were in a car. Now, players can literally put their foot on the ball while standing and rotate around. Momentum impacts a player (as does his skill), but overall there is more finite control. This might seem like a minor change, but its impact is staggering when comparing how FIFA 12 handles compared to FIFA 11.
Footballers with great skill can dance with the ball, adjusting pacing, sucking in defenders and then exploding with a deft move to swing around them. And I mean roll right off their back. The sophistication of close contact is impressive, even with just two games of FIFA 12 under my belt.


This is thanks to the new impact engine, which adds more realistic interactions between players. Players pull at one another, as they fight for position. Feet tangle. You’ll see hard crashes, painful flips, and the physical toll a match can have. Nothing looks or feels canned and the level of detail is to the point of being able to see a foot get caught and an ankle turn the wrong way for a sprain.
In fact, injuries occur based on how players collide. FIFA 12 knows every major muscle and bone in a player’s body and how force can impact them. EA promises players will hobble when they’ve pulled a hamstring and otherwise offer more believable reactions to their injuries. In my first game, I had two injuries and in the second there were three. Hopefully the injury bug isn’t too prevalent. While realism is great, no one wants to see their team decimated after just a few games.

I’ve always been a fan of FIFA’s simple defensive system. Hold a button and you bear down on the ball. It’s easy to use and even allows novices a chance on defense. But it can also leave you exposed, since you go right for the ball handler. FIFA 12 solves this. You still hold a single button, but you defend a zone around the other player. At any time you can move forward and initiate a tackle or whatever else you want to do, but if not, you keep some space from the ball to try and avoid allowing Lionel Messi to blow by you.


 This allows players to try and edge offensive players into a corner or better intercept passes. It gives more control over how you defend the ball, which means that you don’t have to defend every player the same way.
I found defending far easier and it was like my football IQ automatically jumped a few notches. Suddenly FIFA started feeling like a legit match. It’s actually tougher for the AI to exploit the common mistakes a gamer might make in FIFA 11. Once you see the benefits of using spacing to defend against the ball (instead of always rushing forward for a tackle), it’s hard to think about playing FIFA any other way.

EA calls it Pro Player Intelligence. What the hell does that mean? Players understand who is on the pitch with them and act accordingly. If you have Peter Crouch, chances are Rafael van der Vaart is going to lob a lot of high crosses near the goal to take advantage of his height.
This also means players will play to their strengths. For example, FIFA 12 takes into a player’s field of vision on the pitch. Kaka is going to be able to recognize an opening in the defense for a teammate running down the wing and get him the ball, whereas middies from the bottom of the table won’t see the option.
It’s tough to judge this from two games, but it sounds promising.


If EA can deliver, FIFA 12 will leapfrog FIFA 11′s gameplay. At this point, the only real competition for EA is last year’s FIFA. And the team seems determined to outdo itself. That’s pretty awesome to see.

2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa(TM) - The Highlights

2010 FIFA World Cup South AfricaTM brought together the greatest teams and players from around the globe for a full month of sheer sporting delight. The usual giants were there: Brazil, Germany, Spain, France, Argentina, England, Holland and defending champion Italy, as were a number of teams looking to enter the ranks of the great world sides: Portugal, Uruguay, Chile, USA, Japan and others. Perhaps the most intriguing question though, was how would host country South Africa and the other teams from the African continent fare in the first World Cup on African soil?

This 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa - The Highlight  DVD takes you match by match through the tournament, letting you relive all the highlights and drama that make this competition the most popular sporting event in the world. Feel all over again the joy of Adres Iniesta s winning goal against the Netherlands, and the pain of Ghana s cruel quarter-final exit at the hand of Uruguay s Luis Suarez. Witness the rise of new stars and the dominance of established greats. It s all here. Enjoy the ride!


2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa(TM)  DVD is an excellent compilation of the highlights of the 2010 World Cup. I am dissapointed that there still does not appear to be a Blu-Ray version to watch on an HDTV. Typically, DVD's on an HDTV look awful (even when using an upscaling blu-ray player, trust me) --- so to be fair when judging the video quality, I watched the DVD on an older Sony XBR tube tv. I have to say --- it looks incredible.

If you still haven't upgraded to an HDTV, you're in luck, because this has to be one of the best looking DVDs i've seen on a regular old television. This is the strange irony of upgrading your TV to an HDTV --- DVD's will look worse! It has to do with native resolution. And the native resolution of a DVD was meant for the older tube tv's. I forgot what it was like to watch TV and not have to deal with motion blur. Even the best LCD's out there today still have to deal with motion blur. (Can't comment on plasma, since i don't own one) But I digress....

About  2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa documentary itself:
They show highlights of every game and goal. Really well done. So there's really no point in buying that other DVD that has all the goals of the World Cup. This DVD has them all. They keep the English commentary in tact, which is fine. They do a good job of narrating.

FIFA World Cup DVD Collection Review
Since 1954, FIFA has hired a top-notch film crew to shoot the World Cup finals on 35mm film and create a documentary to tell the story of the Finals. Not only do the films offer the best-looking footage of the football matches themselves but they do a nice job of capturing the feeling that surrounded each Finals, from the Brits in Hyde Park in 1966 to the Mexicans partying in the streets after escaping the group stage in 1970.

Also very cool, each of the 15 DVDs has a "top 10 goals" countdown special feature. FIFA World Cup DVD Collection break the countdowns into categories, so you can watch "Top 10 Headed Goals" or "Top 10 Solo Goals" and so on. They are great fun.


History of Soccer: The Beautiful Game (2001)

History of Soccer: The Beautiful Game essential video


The entire history of the world's favorite game? It's an extraordinary challenge that could go have gone horribly wrong, but History of Soccer: The Beautiful Game is a class act. It boasts top-drawer production values, including narration by Terence Stamp, access to everybody who has really mattered in the game, ever, plus loads of famous, rare, and never-seen-before footage, each volume offering a blend of narrative, action, and illuminating interviews. This is a polished product: part celebration, part commemoration, but always with a sharp investigative sense, digging around the misty-eyed, good ol' days tradition, to explore in the company of those interviewed the reality behind some of soccer's myths and legends.

The breadth of enquiry is naturally impressive, as is the narrative structure, but it's the deft handling of the subplots that really sets this apart, including: analysis of the dominant club sides such as Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Milan (volume 2); the evolution of Brazil (volume 3); the superstar casualties, like Maradona and Garrincha (volume 5); football as an agent of social control in Victorian England (volume 1); the revolution in French football that created the 1998 World Champions (volume 4); and the failure, so far, of Africa to fulfil Pele's famous World Cup prediction (volume 6). There's so little material here that isn't memorable that it's difficult to pick highlights, but action aside (and it's hard to think of an historically important game that isn't featured), an emotional Maradona exposing the "conspiracy" that fixed the 1990 World Cup final (volume 2) is an unforgettable slice of soccer culture.

American Soccer-Golf

This very fun practice activity is a combination of soccer passing and golf scoring using a golf-course-style layout on a soccer practice field. A soccer ball is used by each player to kick from “Tees” to “Greens.”

Golf Gears
  • TaylorMade Burner plus Irons
  • Taylor Made Burner Driver
  • TaylorMade Burner plus Irons Review

  • Objective
    Players attempt to use the minimum number of kicks to navigate a nine-hole “golf course.”

    Field Set-Up
    See the attached diagram. The size of the course should be proportionate to the age group. In general, the overall field should be approximately 50-yards wide by 70-yards long. Numbered discs are set up as “tees” and cones with a corresponding number are set up as the “holes” or “pins” on the “greens.”

    Number of Players
    The field is sized to accommodate nine to eighteen players, generally ranging in age from U-8 to U-14. A “shotgun start” is used where players as singles or in pairs simultaneously begin at each of the “tees.”

    Method of Scoring
    Each player is given a 3”x5” scorecard and a pencil to right down the number of kicks (“strokes”) they take on each “hole.” The player with the lowest total at the end is the “winner.”

    Start of Play
    The coach may show a diagram of the course to the assembled team and/or walk the team through the course. Singles or paired sets of players are established and directed to move to the respective “tees.” Once players are in position, the coach may blow a whistle or simply announce to begin. Players should not interfere with the players or balls ahead of them or beside them.

    Rules of Play
    Players must faithfully record the number of kicks they take to pass the ball from each “tee” in order to hit the corresponding cone on the respective “green.”

    Variations
    - Corner flags or practice poles may be used as the “pins” instead of cones.
    - Circles for the “greens” may be laid out with field-marking paint.
    - Copies of the course layout may be handed out and used instead of 3”x5” scorecards.
    - If sufficient parents are available, they can walk with players to act as scorekeepers.
