Wow, they've given up on the DS already, and they're still releasing a PS2 version!

It sickens me that this launches in the U.S. first, they're too busy playing Handegg to notice.

So my schedule now looks something like this...

Fifa for a few weeks, BF3 for a few weeks, then Skyrim for a few months (with the other two mixed in).

Sorted.

PC version *will* have the same engine and features as the 360 and PS3 version, confirmed here: [link url=http://fifasoccerblog.com/blog/first-fifa12-pc-screenshot/

That's terrific news as FIFA 11, good as it was on the PC, was missing several features and enhancements from the console builds.

New FIFA out at the start of the football season? I'd never have predicted that....

Well if you had predicted that, you'd be wrong, seeing as it's out nearly two months after the start of the season...

It's always released on the Friday after or before my birthday but I wish they could start pushing for it to be released closer to the start of the season.

Looking forward to seeing how the improvements play out. This will be the first Fifa I buy in years, so I hope i'm not dissapointed.

We should get it before the Yanks, though. Pfft.

It used to be earlier but then we all complained that the Teams were not correct, players were never in the correct place, so they put it back so it is. I'd rather it be correct when it comes out. Might be just me though.

Just to clarify EA, it took you over a month to impliment the January transfer window patch after the window itself had been closed...however, the game itself is being released less than a month after the summer transfer window closes. That makes sense.

I am a Fifa fan by the way, a slightly confused one though. No complaints on an earlier release this year though

its hurts to hear americans who dont know how to name sports get the game first.
but its just a shame that theyre givin it to them coz vancouver is close to them.
i think this is called 'countrism'
what also hurts is that they give the game when the season has already started for a month or so.
