You can change them to the old controls in the options if you want. Though I don't mind them at all, besides it's not the controls that ruin the defensive game so much as it is just terrible terrible programming. I swear no one from EA has ever watched a game of football in their lives.[/QUOTE]

It's not really the "controls" per say that are wrong with the Fifa 12 defensive system. It is the defensive game play mechanic as a whole that is now completely broken. What was wrong with having a conservative tackle button, a slide tackle button & using the right analog stick to jostle? Nothing that's what! It has been replaced a conservative tackle button which now just makes the player stop dead & just poke their foot out or when you press it 4 times to jostle it gives away a foul. Also the "impact system" makes it really frustrating when you get tackled your player literally flips over & the opponent doesn't give away a foul. It is literally the pits
