Fantastically wild tackles! True injuries!
A video of FIFA 12 has leaked onto YouTube.
The clip highlights the areas of the game that have changed – most at the hands of the new Impact Engine. The improved dynamic physics produce an impression of fluidity and a further step towards believability. But the best bit comes from the unpredictability – and EA appears to be playing on that.
Wild and reckless tackles now send opponents flying. One example shows a Chelsea player literally upended and flipped by an onrushing defender. It’s magnificent to behold.
