Fifa 12: Just another update?

I’ve been looking at whether I can justify spending another £37 on another Fifa, when I have an awesome Fifa game (Fifa 11) already. I only traded in Fifa 10 a few weeks ago! Well, i’ve been checking out the new features, and this is what i’ve found out:

– Manager mode is looking pretty awesome. A lot more in-depth that previous versions and (almost) feels like a Football Manager from a few years ago. Whether this is the case, only time can tell, but does make you wanna buy the game to try it out!

– Collision mode, which is supposed-to see real-life collisions resulting in real-life injuries. Can’t say this is the most exciting addition to a Fifa game, but they have been working on the engine for this the past couple of years, so might be good. Have already watched an episode of Playr taking the mickey out of some serious fails with the Collision system, which is from the demo…

– Ah, the demo. I have tried the demo, which allows you to see some of the new additions to the controls. The fact I wanted to carry on playing the demo game after game definately helped make up my mind.

– Finally, a big draw (as always) with any new Fifa game, is the updated Team rosters (oh, I sound American). When you support teams like Portsmouth & Arsenal, having the most up-to-date players on the team can make a big impact on how you play the game. This is definately a draw.

So in conclusion, will I buy the new Fifa? Answer is, I am. Pre-ordered from Shopto.net (because I know the game will be delivered on the day of the release & best price I could find). Game on!
