Another stunning shot

Were you impressed by those FIFA 12 PlayStation Vita screenshots? Want to know more about EA's inevitably world-conquering portable football sim? Then here's all the information we have about the game condensed into one lovely fact sheet.

The information includes the confirmation of online play but be wary of the wording: "Head-to-Head Online—Play head-to-head online against a friend in authentic 11 v 11 matches" does not mean the series' home console 11 vs. 11 online play is included, but that you can play against one other person via the Internet.

The rest of the sheet is less sneakily written and assures the inclusion of career, Be a Pro, Be a Goalkeeper and more, which should be more than enough to keep any football fan going for months.

FIFA 12 is a day one release for Vita.

EA SPORTS FIFA Football on PS Vita is the first true next generation sports experience in the palm of your hand, with console gameplay, HD graphics, and the largest feature set ever created by EA SPORTS for a handheld device.
Description
EA SPORTS FIFA Football on PS Vita delivers the first true next generation football experience in the palm of your hands.

Plus, compete with over 500 officially licensed clubs in 11 v 11 matches in authentic stadiums from around the world.
