Discarding players!

Sometimes the only way of getting rid of a player you can't sell is to discard them - here are the formulas for the amount of money you get for each type of player...

Bronze = OVR x 0.3
Silver = OVR x 1.5
Gold = OVR x 4

Rare Bronze = OVR x 0.75
Rare Silver = OVR x 3.5
Rare Gold = OVR x 8

IF Bronze = OVR x 20
IF Silver = OVR x 70
IF Gold = OVR x 122

OVR - Overall Rating

(Values are then rounded to the nearest whole number)

My Bronze Team!

I thought I'd show you all a picture of my Bronze team at the moment.. Enjoy!

My left wing is Miles Weston (93 pace, Brentford) and my right wing is Powell from MK Dons (91 pace). My RB, Otsemobor has 85 pace, and my LB White has 86 pace! Jake Jervis at ST is huge and has 84 pace!

Gameplay advice!

Here is a bit of basic advice for the game, to help you dominate all in your path!


Defending
On this years game, defending has become a skill, no simply just holding down RT and A (R2 and X)! The jockey feature has been improved greatly and the tackling animations look much more realistic. Personally, I think the best way to defend effectively is to jockey the players (LT/L2) as they come towards you, and then press B (Circle) as the player is near enough. Slide tackles are not advisable, unless the player has just passed you and would be through on goal!


Attacking
Through balls are definitely the way forward (literally!) on FIFA 12. If you have fast wingers and strikers, then a quick press of LB/L1 and a carefully timed through ball (Y/Triangle), will easily set you up for a simple goal. When it comes to shooting, a curling finesse shot (RB/R1 and B/Circle) will find the net pretty often! If you're quite far out, holding the shoot button about 3/4 power will end in a perfectly powered shot, hopefully flying past the keeper!

Strength!

On FIFA, having a player with high strength can really help out a team, as they put in the big tackles and win the ball back. I'm going to show you the 3 players with the highest strength on the game...

3. Alexandr Orekhov (CB)
Rubin Kazan
