Calling for a second defender is also far more important this year, as it allows the user to sit back and survey the action, covering any potentially dangerous runs and passes when they occur. Players can also tug at sprinting players to slow them down, essential for those lightning quick wingers, although it can lead to fouls. It's a completely new defensive system, which genuinely encourages players to react and adapt to a multitude of different scenarios.

That's pretty much as close as we get to the auto-defend nature of previous Fifa incarnations. Meanwhile, the jockeying function, accessed via the left trigger, allows you to face the incoming player and create a barrier between him and the goal; this can also be combined with the "run" button in order to deal with sprinting opponents.

FIFA 12 isn't perfect: for every incredible moment the new collision system creates, there's one that just looks awkward or buggy. The new dribbling setup can be great with space, but I often come across unrealistic movement with players pushing the ball around through a series of touches that made them look more like someone playing futsal rather than as a professional on an outdoor pitch. These little gripes could likely be fixed in future patches, but for now I can't help but be slightly distracted when the rest of the game just looks and plays so well.

Precision Dribbling is the next new addition that, in the hands of an expert and when used with a player who has the skills, can add solo flair moves capable of opening up defenses and creating space for you to move into. Assuming you're doing it right, of course. Do it wrong and you'll collide with a defender and look like an idiot as you tumble to the ground. But again, that's a great thing. The combination of Precision Dribbling and the Impact Engine gives the game some extra skill headroom for experts to grow into -- you really can play a beautiful game when you become attuned with the game's timing. But that same system also lets you play a pretty ugly physical game too, and clatter players off the ball if your timing is poor. Or anything in between, depending on the circumstances.
