good news..always annoyed me when they would release euro as a full priced game

[Novo]

Would rather just buy the Euro 2012 game for £15 more, suppose it's alright for people who want to save money though

[King Gizzard]

and it gets people to buy fifa 12 as well boosting their sales, it's clever

I think they chose to do this cause of Fifa street, which was basically a full price fifa 12 expansion pack anyway

[King Gizzard]

The trial is availible now, all you have to do is download it via Fifa, next to kick off theres a euro2012 bit

don't know if i'll buy it or not

[BBfanUSA]

so when 2014 rolls around will it ( World Cup)still be it's own game?

[King Gizzard]

Probably, as that's a bigger tournament, think they were just doing it this time before there was FIFA 12, FIFA Street, and now this in a short space of time

[Scarlett.]

Half the teams in the expansion are fictional apparently
