    If I was contemplating buying my first football game since the PS1 era, should I go for the yearly iteration of FIFA or FIFA Street?
    It depends....FIFA 12 is a really good game. Probably the best FIFA till date. Street is more of a fun, messing around game.
    I suggest you download the FIFA Street demo and try it out before making a decision. It's not a game for everyone.

    What he said. FIFA Street is just a mess-around game for people that're into that kind of thing. Always has been. After a while, it'll become a game you just pick up now and again for a laugh rather than long-term playability; if you're looking for this, FIFA would be the game you want to choose. Both games are completely different in the way they're played and the only similarity is in the fact that you kick a football around.

    Besides, FIFA Street is out this month; FIFA 13 isn't out 'til the end of the year. Plenty of space in between.

    Dunno, in terms of the amount of fun I had on each one I'd have to go with FIFA 10 > FIFA 11 > FIFA 12, in terms of fairness and reflection on the actual game you'd have to reverse the order of this chain though. So I guess it depends what you're looking for in a game.

    Just the sheer overpowered nature of Sprint speed on FIFA 09 and FIFA 10 :sexface:

    Does nobody else feel it's too easy to score on Fifa street? Seems nearly every close range effort goes in, both for and against you. Pretty decent though but if previous editions are to go by it get's quite tedious fairly quickly. Standard version has a lot more longevity to it; Ultimate team, Pro Clubs and H2H are all good fun. Never play offline so not really sure how good season modes etc are mind.

    Has anyone used IF Carrick or IF Giggs? Are they any good?

    I've got about 30k of coins and don't know what to buy with it.

    If you go to your Replay Theatre and press triangle on ps3/ Y on 360, you'll upload it to easportsfootball.co.uk

    I'd go for FIFA 12.
    If you fancy insane tricks, Streets is the way to go. For simulation, and to get that feeling of gloriously stealing a match (or losing it!) on the 90th minute, it has to be the normal FIFA.

    The demo is set to easy and you can't change it to a harder difficulty.

    **** defence, Muller/Kroos are weak links.


    AC Milan, without a doubt, are the best non-Spanish team (ie Spain, Madrid, Barca). Debatable whether they're better than any of them. Milan's fullbacks are insanely quick, the CBs are beast, KPB and MVB are a great engine room, and Zlatan is just a monster.

    I used to use them all the time. Robinho, Pato and Ibra

    But then I stopped winning with them so swapped to Bayern. Working good so far.

    Why are the challenges always impossible?

    Come back as Spurs against Arsenal in the 69th minute, even though Arsenal are far superior in terms of passing/tackling, Modric can't seem to pass for **** and they score another 2 goals instantly making it 7-2 - That sounds ****ing easy?!?! Not to mention all of Spurs players just switch off and gain the pace of Carragher.

    Just played as Newcastle against Napoli (surprise) 12 shots 9 on target all in the penalty area, 1 goal. Just stupid. His keeper turns into Casillas. Also got a man sent off, slid in won the ball, clipped some random other guy on the follow through red card.

    Thing that pisses me off is, slow build up looking for a nice combo of passes doesn't pay off. Just hoof it, lobbed through ball until you get through, or just aimlessly throw balls into the box until you get one in. So much more productive than actually trying to create a chance.

    My best team is Real Madrid, 3 at the back, just pack the midfield with Alonso and Khedira, just need to tackle, punt it forward and you will inevitably get something with that attack.

    Gradually making my way up to D1, I'm now in D3 after finishing off my D4 season with Newcastle, England, Scotland and AC. I can't remember who I used in my other matches.

    Almost did it earlier. Got it back to 5-4 but missed two sitters. It was annoying as Arsenal do just seeem to boss you around. They're all quicker, stronger and smarter. Szecny wouldn't come off his goalline at times and then the time I was intercepted. Damn EA Sports.

    I never find him making the quality saves like Neuer. Stats wise he is good, if not the best, but Neuer always seems to pull of the impossible, probably due to height, which seems to be a hugely important part of a keeper on fifa
