Anyone got full info for the Rugby League Live download on PS3? I saw a link once but I'm still finding new stuff like chose an opponent in the playoffs etc.

Was it like the time I beat you on Fifa on the PS2 on New Year's Eve that time?



I hope fifa's defending has become harder, as it was way too easy to just rush players off the ball and force the mistake. Like most things on Fifa, it was far too easy to 'master'.

From the amount of raging on the FIFA forums I'd say the defending was much improved. They are moaning that quick players like Walcott and Sanchez and skilful players like Messi and Ronaldo will be able to beat their defenders.



Seems they've nuked the 'homing missile' red button/circle to close down and auto-tackle. It is now completely reliant on timing and skill apparently. Ooohhh scary.

Gave in and downloaded the FIFA 12 demo. The defending really is different. After a minute or two of mashing the buttons I was used to I sort of got the hang of it. Struggling to see the difference between A to contain and LT to jockey though. They both seem to do exactly the same thing. To be honest the way I've always defended on FIFA still works quite well. If you hold off the AI does give you opportunities and if you time it right you can get the ball back quite effectively. On the higher difficulty levels it is quite hard and you have to be patient, no more blindly holding B to suffocate the man in possession.



I've not got the hang of the attacking yet though. How do you do this precision dribbling thing? There also doesn't seem to be much movement from your own players. EA have admitted this is an issue on the demo, but it does seem rather static. The defending AI seems much tighter so it would be good to see a bit more movement. For example if you are bringing the ball out of defense, rather than just jog forwards, the wingers and strikers should make runs, either coming short or going on a run behind. At the moment they don't seem to do anything, which makes it a lot harder to create chances.



But in a way I suppose it's good that it's different. It's going to take me a month or two to get used to it no doubt but there seems to be a lot of depth to the gameplay.

The real problems come when your defender does that when going for a 50/50 header in the box, which will happen every game.

It doesn't fortunately. I've played about twenty games now and not seen anything unusual from the ragdoll engine.

The tackling is much more realistic and makes you think about every tackle instead of blindly holding down X whilst charging towards an opponent.



The new precision dribbling is also fantastic, a squeeze of L1 will mean players like Messi and David Villa have complete control, and like the demo says this is great when playing out wide.



I must say I also like these flick passes (R1 + X) Ole!!!

Awesome. It doesn't actually tell you how to do that in the demo that I've found. I've been pressing LT (L2? on the PS3) and all it's done was make them run really slowly and get tackled. Try that tonight. Cheers.

Played 3 games in the demo, battered every time. Love UT so much now that I really don't enjoy playing 'normal' teams. Man City v Barca etc.

I had to revert to amateur initally to get to grips with it. But I'm back up to World Class now and winning most games. It's the attacking I struggle with more than the defending. Just can't seem to shoot properly.
