The demo of FIFA 12 was finally released today on Xbox 360 and PC. PS3 players will have to be a bit more patient as it will only appear on PSN tomorrow. To ease the wait, here is a video of the 360 version we managed to capture quickly during our lunch break. We did not have much time to get used to the game's new features so don't expect anything great here.
Update: PC video added.

PES is more responsive, smooth and has a better flow
FIFA is sluggish, congested and AI are a bunch of time wasting retards(passing sideways for 20mins at 0-0!). the new defense system is great for MP and the precision dribbling is nice but i need to master it before i can fully appreciate it i think. 3min halves doesnt help

and then you do get the ball and passes takes 5 mins to reach destination which allows the AI to close ANY gap there might have been. want to move the ball around quickly to push players out of possession? tough luck, FIFA doesnt let you
FIFA is like a soulless game. bunch of great tech put together and it has become a mess. FIFA09 was better then 10/11/12. but this is just the demo with 3 min halves (so retarded) so i will wait till i get the full game, i was close to not buying it (for the 1st time ever since i buy both footy games every year no matter what) but i will
EA seem to think high difficulty should mean AI keeping the ball for 30mins and never making mistakes. i wish there was a "realistic" difficulty setting where weaker teams make more mistakes (offense and defense) and leave more gaps. in the demo who ever i play against it feels like i am playing against Barcelona the way they move the ball and their players doing skills and always pressing me and never giving me space.
FIFA doesnt have the feeling of "i can score at any time" anymore and thats one big thing that PES has over them

Fifa will lose alot of sales this year as the casuals will move over to PES.
So, why?

But in FIFA they play one way, pass pass pass do some skill to stop me getting the ball pass pass then they try to do something. its boring as fuck. they pass the ball around for 10minutes before they TRY to do something, thats not a good game
and also PES may not have futuristic AI but it has better AI then FIFA thats for sure, as i actually have fun playing against AI and they allow me chances and space like in real football... i am not pressured 24/7. and in PES AI have scored loads of goals against me so far in the demo (thats maybe cause its 10min match compared to FIFA12 6min match)
in PES i can play normal, in FIFA i feel like i am forced to play the FIFA way to be successful, which is using the trick stick all the time and using cheap tactics. in PES i can play like actual teams and be successful, in FIFA you cant cause its so congested and you have to do retarded tricks to keep the ball
It's like you're controlling an rusty robot most of the time.

Pro Evo feels so much like arcade soccer... scoring goals in the same way over and over again and the stupid ai doesn't care
However I have to say that this kind of game is NOT defined to be played alone. Playing against AI, PES is definitely better. But 95% of my time spent on FIFA is playing with friends (the remaining 5% is playing online in ranked matches...). It'd be just like buying Street Fighter IV just for Arcade Mode.
I think that if you want to really play football, and dive as deep as possible into football, FIFA is the game. If you want to play simple, just for fun, with friends who are not used to play football games, PES it is. It usually takes me around one month to learn to score correctly in FIFA. And this year it'll probably take me even longer due to this new defense system. This is why I prefer FIFA: there are more choices, more possibilities, more freedom. Now when I play PES I feel like imprisoned, with my players on rails, boring duels and easy long distance shots. My first goal in PES 2011 was a 25 - 30m shoot with Cristiano Ronaldo. My first long distance goal in FIFA 11 was after two or three weeks spent training...
