Another "revolutionary" title, FIFA 12 features three new mechanics that most people probably won't even notice: precision dribbling, the "player impact engine" (allowing realistic comedy pileups of people if you play it correctly) and "tactical defending." The game will also introduce EA's Football Club in-game social network, which will also appear in FIFA Street. The demo will be out on September 13, the game will release on September 27 and EA Season Ticket holders will be able to play it three days early.

The big new thing the team showed off this time was a cooperative level that featured a "spotting" mechanic similar to Portal 2's ability to point things out to your partner. They also showed a 64 player multiplayer game in full swing, and revealed that jet fighters were making a triumphant return to the series.

All in all, there weren't that many surprises from EA's conference -- and some of those "revolutionary" and "innovative" things aren't quite as special as they made out. EA's looking set to have a good year, though, and the battle between Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 will certainly be interesting.
