Defense in Fifa 12

Many gamers like to focus on offense and scoring goals, points, touchdowns, or runs.  But the old saying, “Defense wins championships” still holds true.  Below is a video from the EA Sports team going over a few defensive tactics and tips for Fifa 12 that can help you compete with higher level gamers.

Rookies Join NBA 2k12 Game

The NBA lockout caused a huge disruption to the organizations and businesses in NBA cities.  But that wasn’t the impact that gamers noticed.  NBA 2k12 enthusiasts noticed that the rookies that their teams drafted weren’t in this year’s game. Fortunately that has all changed now that the rookies have now signed contracts and the season is underway.

Some notable rookies include:

  1. Kemba Walker (Charlotte Bobcats) – 76 Overall
  2. Kyrie Irving (Cleveland Cavaliers) – 76 Overall
  3. Derrick Williams (Minnesota Timberwolves) – 70 Overall

Beginner NCAA Football 12 Tips

There are a few basic tips that can help you in any football video game and especially NCAA Football 12.  If you follow these simple strategies you notice a significant improvement in NCAA Football 12.

1. Speed Dominates – For some unknown reason, speed is the most important player attribute in almost all sports video games.  In NCAA Football 12 a player like Denard Robinson or Robert Griffin III is much better than someone like Matt Barkley.  The faster your team is, the more big plays you can make.

2. Choose the right defense – Every team has a defensive playbook that they work best with.  Look at your depth chart and choose your playbook accordingly.  This isn’t to say you can’t use your favorite plays in other playbooks, just take into account your team’s personnel.

3. Balance is Key – While it is tempting to blitz every down or throw the ball deep every play, the best gamers know that this is a terrible strategy.  Run a balanced offense.  Mix in some short throws, long throws, runs, and anything else.  It is key not to use 1 player over and over again.  Even though you may have 1 player that stands much better than the others on your team, fight the urge to use him exclusively.

Using Elastico in Fifa 12

If you find yourself in a tight space, try using elastico to get out of it.  Only players with 5 star skill level are able to pull off such a move so make sure to pick wisely.  It takes some timing and precision but if you perfect it, you will become dangerous.
