New Free Kick and Penalty System
For a free kick, you can lift up your GamePad and look through the screen to aim the ball, before putting curve on the ball and shooting seeing it from the free kick taker's perspective. You can move the GamePad around to see where players are.

This is actually looking pretty damn good. One of the best uses of the Wii U controller that I've seen.

I like the black Wii U controller.

 

[adamshinoda]

Play FIFA like a boss.

I hope they spend more effort on the Wii U FIFA's than the Wii/DS/3DS ones. PES was so good on the Wii, I hope Konami keep the point controls for Wii U.

This Link ,but you can go ahead and close mine.

It all sounds good, if I was a fan.

 

[BORTZ]

Looks like FIFA 12.
And 11...
And...

There are no new gameplay elements besides the

thing. Which is a pretty useful feature on corners but I don't see how that could help on free kicks and penalties.

This is pretty much the Vita version of FIFA 12 game on Wii U.

 

[KingVamp]

Well, it is new for a console game.

True but I don't trust EA so the same bugs from other games will still be in here.
Like FIFA is 20x better than PES but it still has a lot of annoying things.


Does it have First touch control like the other consoles?

 

[The Milkman]

I like, I mean I wont buy this game but it looks like it shows off the Wii U potential pretty good.

 

[KingVamp]

There are videos out now.

 

[Janthran]

Sports video games: Just like real sports, but without the benefits.

 

[donaldgx]

good to see that there will be good games and variety apart from boring and unoriginal FPS

FIFA FTW

Er, no it isn't. The Vita version couldn't even do half the things here because you're only utilizing one display.

Er,yes it is. If you didn't realize all these things are capable in every other version of the game.

The touch-screen passing and shooting isn't in the other versions (well maybe Vita). Most of this is obviously in the other versions but I'm referring to how it's more streamlined on the system vs. navigating through menus.

Tactics adjustments are so simple in the game.Just hit the D-Pad on the console versions.Doesn't need to be more streamlined.
Touchscreen passing and shooting is worthless and is in the Vita version which is what we were mainly comparing.
The only thing that is actually worth changing is the Build up play adjustments but doing that while playing seems hard.

Touchscreen passing certainly isn't useless although I would think touchscreen shooting would make it too easy.

I played Fifa 12 on the PC and having the ability to adjust tactics while playing on the controller will be better than navigating through a clunky menu.

And since we're comparing it to the Vita version, there is no always-on manager central on the screen.
