If your talking about manager mode, then yes, you can still type there name as a search. It's the same search format as fifa 11.

I think you have to type exactly how a name is written. Say you're searching for Mario Gómez, you can't just type in "Gomez." The accent above the "o" has to be there. Well, at least that's how it is on Xbox.

He is actually a disaster waiting to happen on FIFA 12.

Ibrahimovic looks like Tommy10 on those pictures

David Luiz is actually a really good defender. His tackling is great and he improves a lot in career mod.

[Term-X 7,891]

David Luiz has gone from an overall of 82, to 86 in just 1 and a half seasons in manager mode.

Change to Legacy defending (fifa 11,10,09 etc controls), for some reason though EA thought it would be really clever to remove that option when in online ranked and ultimate team modes so inevitably - if you played ranked matches or UT like me your going to have to get used to it!

Cheers for that will give it a go

^ It's pretty pointless changing to legacy defending, as you won't be able to use it online. The new system is better and more realistic, it's just a case of getting used to it.

Defending is difficult !

This is a great piece of advice from the fifa forums on the new tactical defending...

Do not rush to the ball all the time. That's what we used to do in FIFA 11. Not anymore, you will be beaten. That doesn't mean you have to leave open spaces. Run WITH the attacker, not towards him. Just block his vision to the goal, and if another attacker is moving to receive a pass, press RB so that a teammate jostles the possessor while you mark the receiving player. I do this a lot and it is effective: I end up intercepting the pass. For the record, I almost never use the contain button -- A --, I just use manual jostle. It gives me a lot more control, and the ability to tackle quicker.

Use the tackle button VERY SPARINGLY and only when you are close enough to a player, or when you have good sprint momentum and can get to the ball faster than a receiving player.

Finally, when the attacker is nearby the box, stay close to him but not too close. Don't give him chance to dribble or use skill. Keep blocking his vision towards the goal, and try to anticipate what he wants to do...this is the part which requires good skill and intuition...it cannot be taught. Now, you may use the sprint button depending on the speed of the attacker. Don't use it all the time, or your player will get tired. But don't hesitate to use it when the situation calls for it. Normally I sprint while I jostle to keep up with the attacker.
