The game also introduces a new Tactical Defending system that gives the player more control over his or her defenses, and the Precision Dribbling option that allows the player to protect the ball while dribbling it. The engine also influences the injuries of the players. This makes the game less predictable and more realistic. The engine takes into account the players' stats as well as the speed and angle of the collision.
The most notable is Impact Engine that calculates procedurally generated collisions based on laws of physics. While FIFA 12 did not change the gameplay dramatically, the game includes several important updates. FIFA 12 is the nineteenth installment of the decades-spanning series of soccer simulators by Electronic Arts.
