You only have to zoom into the Official Barclay’s Premier League ball in the replay mode to truly appreciate the attention to detail. Every year the improvements seem minor at first, but when compared to the previous iteration then they are truly evident.
#FIFA 12 REVIEW TV#
The graphics are sharp and crisp and truly give you that broadcast TV feeling. On the visual front, FIFA 12 truly does deliver the goods. Furthermore, the visual filters and effects that are applied to the game with various camera angles truly add to the broadcast style presentation and the authetic representation of the beautiful game. The lighting effects in-game give you a sense of real life representation, particularly as they truly take into account a whole host of factors including time of day, weather conditions, stadium structure and geographical location. This is an area where FIFA 12 flexes it’s muscle. These include the lettering/font on the back of the shirts and how they stretch and move with various body movements, as well as the detail on various club emblems on the shirts. The kits are also very well replicated, however, there are still some point that must be addressed. Even using the gameplay camera angles you can identify certain boot types based on the accuracy of their depiction in-game. The level of detail (LOD) on the clothing and equipment in FIFA 12 is impressive. Other lesser known players, or those who play for clubs that have not yet been reached by the 8-way camera team, look far less convincing in comparison. It is instantly evident which players have had the 8-way camera treatment in FIFA 12 as their faces are scarily accurate.

#FIFA 12 REVIEW SERIES#
The introduction of the 8-way camera technology to implement player faces into the FIFA series is a tech masterstroke, and FIFA 12 shows how this technology provides great results. The player models are definitely in need of further examination and tweaking in order to make them look more accurate. Whilst they appear fantastic in gameplay cameras, upon closer inspection, you begin to notice the anatomical inaccuracies that include a lack of shoulder variety, inaccurate femur bone length and almost the sense that underneath that kit is a stick-man or wire frame and not a human body. The player models in FIFA are possibly the weakest aspect of the game’s visuals. The only criticism that can be made of this graphical aspect is the lack of 3D crowds that would really compliment the game’s brilliant graphics.

The stadia in-game again look fantastic this season and this is even more evident in the newly introduced stadium such as the “Juventus Stadium”. The grass is greener and attention to small details like pitch side items is very welcome. I can’t tell you how many times a family member has walked in on me playing FIFA 12 and asked “who’s playing on TV?”. The improvement’s may not be drastic but they are evident and welcome. On first impressions the graphics from a far instantly appear enhanced compared to it’s predecessor. We assess every aspect of FIFA 12’s graphics to determine how much time and effort has been put in to the beautiful game. But as they say, there’s always room for improvement. The game’s graphics, particularly in gameplay camera angles, is second to none. It’s no secret that FIFA has consistently improved it’s visuals year-on-year this generation. Did FIFA 12 get a hair transplantation to look more beautiful?
