There's a bit of a surprise though
The 2012 UEFA European Football Championship kicks off on June 8th in Poland and Ukraine, and so far we've had no word from anyone of the inevitable game tie-in. You know the one, the game that people enjoy, but can't really understand why it warranted a full retail release, the game that's a re-skinned version of the previous Autumn's latest release.
EA Sports finally broke the silence today, but there was one surprise, the UEFA EURO 2012 game will actually be a DLC add-on to FIFA 12.
UEFA EURO 2012™ will be available as an expansion pack to fans who own EA SPORTS FIFA 12. EA SPORTS UEFA EURO 2012 will recreate all the drama and excitement of the official tournament with all 53 UEFA member national teams, all eight official stadiums in the tournament, and all the pageantry and atmosphere of one of the largest and most-watched sporting events on the planet.The DLC pack will bring a number of new game modes to FIFA 12, with the addition of online EURO 2012 tournaments, where you will compete to take your favourite country from the group stages and through the knockout rounds to become the UEFA EURO 2012 champion.
Similar to the challenges already on offer in FIFA 12 there will be new challenges based on the real-life events of the tournament where you can relive the events with XP rewarded for achieving certain goals.
Finally, the new Expedition Mode will allow you to choose either your Virtual Pro or favourite EURO 2012 player to captain a customised team as you do battle for European domination against all 53 of the tournaments teams.
The all-new Expedition Mode, designed exclusively for UEFA EURO 2012, enables fans to build, manage and compete with a customised team against other European nations, crafting the perfect strategy for European domination. Fans will choose their favourite European player or FIFA 12 Virtual Pro to captain their customised team, win matches to earn better players from defeated nations, and then defeat the best nations to earn the best players in a campaign quest to defeat all 53 countries and complete the journey to conquer Europe.Some screenshots were also released:

| At least they aren't releasing it as a seperate title this year... although 1,800 points is still too much. |

| Well done EA, these games never warrant a full retail release so releasing it as a dlc is a good idea. 1800msp is a bit much i thought i would have been 1200 tops but hey at least EA are sort of learning :P |

| This is great news i think 1800 is a good price if they released a full game it would have been €50 |

DLC is a fixed price (aside from the occasional sell or price reduction). Smart move by EA, methinks... |

| Great news. I normally disagree with DLC but not on this occasion. EA have done something right for once. |

EA did a move that is a good idea and benefits the customer? 
I think I'm gonna faint! 1800MSP is perfectly reasonable considering this would be £40 otherwise. |

| The only upside to this is that EA are effectively admitting that these Euro/WC tie-ins are essentially the same game as the main FIFA titles. 1800M$P isn't something you should applaud EA for either. As ever, EA get away with ripping everyone off because the gullible majority let them, spoiling it for gamers with some intelligence. |

Fucking shit. Still have this game sitting on my card from the hack back in october. Want to wait to get it cheap at some point. So this shit really pisses me off, since I don't want to play this game at all but being a completionist I somehow have to ;-).
Now I have to spend 1800 on top of the game. Fucking shit. I'd rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in my ear.
I rather eat the rotten asshole of a roadkilled skunk and drown it with beer. |
