FIFA '12 Preview: Union And MLS Are Better, More Realistic In Newest Edition

EA Sports appears to finally be taking MLS seriously, and teams like the Philadelphia Union have benefited from the additional attention to detail that is seen in FIFA '12.

A Youtube user by the name of GetDougdOn has posted a video of nearly every league and the teams within those leagues. MLS appears to have had a facelift after EA came under criticism from fans of the league over the seemingly poor execution on player and team ratings in FIFA '11. Nearly every MLS team is a three star club in this version of the game, an 'honor' bestowed upon only a few last season.

The Union are a three star team themselves, sporting two 70-plus overall rating players and almost the entire team over 60. Here's the reported list of Union players and their overalls, while the default starting line up can be seen in the picture above.
