FIFA 12: Available Now At Skoobs

* New player impact engine: EA Sports released the video of FIFA 12, demonstrating the new "Impact Engine." This engine improves the collision variety, accuracy and momentum preservation.
* Tactical defending: All-new Tactical Defending fundamentally changes the approach to defending by placing equal importance on positioning, intercepting passes and tackling.
* Precision dribbling: Players can now dribble whilst shielding, meaning you can still move around the pitch whilst holding players off, rather than being rooted to the spot. Close control has been added below jogging as a way of allowing players to take smaller, more frequent touches, keeping the ball closer and keeping tighter control. Players will now be much more aware of their surroundings. As an example, players in possession near the touchline will understand that they’re there, and keep tighter control of the ball to stop it running out of play.
* Localization: FIFA 12 will be the first in the series to be released in Arabic, with Essam El Shawaly and Abdullah Mubarak Al-Harby providing the commentary
