Have you used the cheat where entering your name as "Steve Kean" makes you unsackable?

Before you start your next game, go to wireless controller settings and scroll down to defending, change it from Tactical Defending to Legacy. While it is not as realistic as Tactical Defending, it is the system they used last year and that might help you win some games.

fifa 12 sorts the good from the bad, but can be very annoying as some games you play feel as though it does not want you to win.

DEFENDING TIPS

i play on the xbox btw

change your button config so that 2nd man pressing is B and the tackle button is RB. RB isnt really needed as tackling is easier by using the jockey (LT). let the computer pressure the attacker but always try to let this be a midfielder and use the defnder you are in control of to track the runs of his attackers. this helps cut out their supply a lot easier. fifa 12 is mainly about cutting out the supply i find. never use your defenders if possible to jockey players out wide or to push them out as this leaves gaps and you will be opened up far to easily. always try to keep your teams shape especially your defence.

FREEKICKS

as someone else has mentioned. aim for the post with the biggets gap. i hit it with about 1/3rd of the power bar whilst pressing up on the direction. i probably score 3 out of 4 freekicks doing this
