Man U finally doesn't win a match, drawing with Stoke. Now tied with Man City at the top of the table.

not surprised with Rooney not playing, they are a different team without him

Wow. The Red Devils squeaked out a draw with FC Basel tonight.

Man United without 8 regular starters took a 2-goal lead behind Danny Welbeck (good for him!) in the 16' and 17'. Then...give up 3 second half goals before getting the equalizer in the 90+ minute?!

Wooooooooooooow! And that was even at Old Trafford!

Who grabbed FIFA '12? Almost everyone I talk to dislikes the new changes on defense. I personally like them. You have to be much more precise when standing tackling and you can't just live on the x/a button to pressure the ball.

I have been pondering on picking it up. I dunno if I can spend the money.

I am usually just a Halo Reach guy and it saves me money.

Automatik

You seem like a huge fan of the game. I'd definitely go for it. Its literally the only game I play/buy. There's a feature, Adidas Live Season, that updates leagues, teams, player ratings in relation to how they are doing in real life. There were times last year when Messi was damn near unstoppable.

OSH

Definitely a "student of the game."

I should just break down and get it. I love playing the manager/franchise mode and going from team to team building them up. That's so much fun.

havent picked it up yet..but have played the demo. I like the changes compared to 2011

I have heard "it's too easy to score." I never thought that'd be a major complaint!

I also hear it's harder to dribble and/or take people 1v1 -- harder to pull moves. I was never one to use moves anyway, so maybe that's good for me.'

Maybe I'll have to talk to the wife about this...

Automatik

I think its actually easier to take someone on 1v1. You can't "lock on" to the man with the ball like you could before. You now have a button that goes for a "standing" tackle, if not timed right you can completely whiff and they go right by you.

R1 "placed" shots seem to go in a bit more. You can rain them from pretty far out of you have an angle. I was putting them on goal regularly.

lol...I hope you're kidding about asking your wife to drop $60 on a game.

Valencia v. Chelsea on FSC right now. 35th minute with no score, although Valencia has had a few opportunities with some nice passing.

OSH

My wife picked the game up for me! Woohoo!

Started my first season on manager mode. Started with the Crew. I'll play one season there then move on. I picked up Macheda on a season loan...man he is good against these MLS squads.

I like the game so far. I actually like the changes to defending. I just need to finish more regularly.

I love the changes defensively. It actually takes skill/practice to master defending now, instead of holding down the turbo button.

I also like the new impact system. Really changes a play when a guy gets bumped/knocked down, both on the attack or on the defensive.

I also think it's a bit harder to score, which is great IMO. I love tight games, as I try to play realistically. I'm jumping over from FIFA '10, so this is definitely a big change for me.

I also love the precision dribbling. Feels like you finally have control over every movement you'd want.

IGN gave this game a 9.5, my guess is it'll win a lot of awards for Sports game of the year. Definitely the best one I've played in quite some time. It absolutely destroys Madden in terms of playability, presentation, and simulation.

I was 2-0 then 3-1 online...

I'm now 3-3-6

I can not fucking win anymore and it's pissing me off.

For some reason, I can't score. I top out at about a goal a game during this horrendous stretch. I'll have 1-on-1's with the goal keeper and no matter what, he blocks it. If I do manage to get my shot past him, it hits the fucking goal posts. My last match, I played against a guy I should have creamed. I got out to a 1-0 lead, and should have been up 4-0 at the end of the 1st half. I missed a WIDE OPEN net from about 10 feet away and had 2 other shots hit the post.

He then gets 2 straight BS goals to win, ending my night of frustration.

I'm losing games 2-1 regularly. I was a beast on FIFA 10 and averaged about 5 goals a game online. I like the learning curve on this game, but I need some pointers on scoring goals.

OSH

Klinsmann gets his first win today! A 1-0 win over Honduras with a beaut from Dempsey!
