With eight different game modes, it is the largest feature set ever developed by EA SPORTS for a hand-held soccer game.

No official release date has been set outside of "Fall 2011," so we have put September 21, 2011 as a placeholder.

It also features eight different camera angles to choose from for the perfect view of the pitch.

Whether fans choose to take to the pitch as a real-world superstar or re-create themselves in the first-ever 3D Street Soccer mode, the environment will come alive through an innovative curved pitch and unique lower camera view that maximizes 3D planes, enabling gamers to experience the depth of the field and player movement with full 3D effects. Featuring players wearing the latest street gear, the stage will be set for epic 5 versus 5 matches in exotic street locales and indoor environments that are true to the spirit of street soccer. Plus, in Be A Pro, fans will be able to take their created player on a journey from the streets to ultimately compete for their favourite club and national side and become the next soccer legend.

Featuring superstars like Real Madrid’s Kaká and Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney, FIFA Sports 12 offers all-new optional touch screen controls.  Enjoy precision shooting by picking a spot precisely from the player’s viewpoint using the lower touch screen and then finessing a shot with pinpoint accuracy. Utilize touch screen controls on set pieces to draw a shot that curves the ball around, or even power it over the wall for the match-winning goal that lifts your club to victory.
