FIFA 12 Details: Impact Zone, AI Vision, New Injury System

Every year, EA Sports provides the millions of soccer fans around the world with yet another top-quality FIFA installment.

This year, we expect them to take yet another step. For all you futbol followers out there, the French branch of the Official PlayStation Magazine has dished on some important gameplay upgrades . In addition to various balancing tweaks, we'll now have what is called the "Impact Zone:" this will let players contact each other in different ways; this interaction will be "properly formulated." Then there's the "AI Vision Game," which enhances the realism of passing. If the player you wish to pass to is visible, it's more likely you'll complete that pass; if it's a blind pass, you're more likely to get it stolen away. Oh, and lastly, be careful not to run your players ragged- the new injury system means you don't have to get nailed to suffer an injury, and the more tired you are, the more apt you are to get hurt.

We imagine we'll see a release date for FIFA 12 at some point in the near future; we're expecting a common fall release.
