City are way too good! Playing a career on World Class with Man U, won most of my friendlies then lost 4-1 to City in the shield thing. The possession was something like 75%-25% in their favour.

Defending is a bit of a joke so far I think. Not played on live but against the cpu its almost impossible to get the ball back, and even when I make tackles 80% of the time the opposition will still manage to come away with the ball. It's good that they've done something different after the last games being really similar but so far its doing nothing but p1ss me off.

It will take a lot of getting used to. But it does make the defending a lot more realistic. On the higher levels you will have to think about what you do with the ball as once you've given it away getting it back isn't so easy.

I found it a lot easier after remapping the controls so that green/x was tackle, red/circle was auto-press and right bumper was contain.

I might give that a go, having to press the trigger button to auto-press makes it so much more hard work than it needs to be.

I can see how it is more realistic but at the same time, its not gonna be much fun playing online if your opposition gets the kick off and just keeps hold of the ball.

Great game, I've got platinum on that. Uncharted 2 is my favourite game ever though!

Just picked up my Special Edition of Fifa 12. Got it with a £25 PSN card, cost me £35 for the lot. Bargain!

Yeah. Well, it's get Fifa for £25 if bought with any other charted game. The PSN card is in the chart at £25 (I think MS points are also there), so it makes it £50 overall. I had my £5 pre-order slip that I got to make Deus-Ex cheaper, and I also had one of the electrical coupons they're printing off at the moment (save £5 if you spend £50 on electricals).

So, 10% staff discount, £5 pre-order (actually cost me nothing) and £5 coupon made it £35. Got the special edition copy as well, so I have loads of money to buy packs if I want and I have lots of free packs too.

If you want to get one of those £5 off electrical coupons, best thing you can do is ask at the customer services or electrical desk. Loads of people leave them and some people keep hold of them for a bit, but they also print off if you do your shopping, so if you need your groceries, you'll get one anyway.
