With all of the FIFA 12 Online and Clubs details still to come, for a large section of the FIFA community the week at Gamescom carries incredible significance. We’ll also have the demo announcement and potentially the first gameplay videos live from the show floor.

So here’s a run down of a few of the events and milestones for the week at Gamescom:

Tuesday 16th August

Electronic Arts Press Event 4:00pm – Expect some big FIFA 12 news and footage from this one, it will be streamed live on EA Football World.

FIFA 12 Demo Release Announcement - According to EASPORTSFIFA on Twitter the demo date will be announced on Tuesday.

Sony and Microsoft Press Conferences – Xbox Play Day 12:30pm, Sony Press event 5:30pm

Wednesday 17th August

Press Conferences – A raft of other press events featuring Konami, Ubisoft, Blizzard and NCsoft.

Official Opening of Gamescom 2011 – fairly self explanatory FIFA 12 demo code will be on the show floor, whilst a later build will be behind closed doors for the gaming press.

Thursday 18th August

Gamescom 2011 opens to the public at 10:00am- which should bring the first wave of FIFA 12 gameplay videos if filming is permitted.

Sunday 21st August

Gamescom 2011 ends 6:00pm

*All times stated are local to Cologne, please consider your local timezone and apply any day light savings.

The EA Press Conference will be streamed live over at EA SPORTS Footbll World on Tuesday and we’ll provide a link nearer the time. If you want any further information then head over to the official Gamescom website.

Start your engines gentlemen the run up to release of FIFA 12 is about to move up a gear.

To go with the classic banter between Stevie and Rom (who are reunited) there are some exclusive clips from FIFA 12′s newest commentary duo Martin Tyler and Alan Smith. But as always with these podcasts it’s the little details which cause the most intrigue and the next wave of FIFA 12 information is upon us…

FIFA 12 Podcast: 1st July 2011

It’s been confirmed on the podcast by Rom that as part of Dave Rutter’s second European tour (starting next week) Career Mode and Online modes will be the main items on the agenda for the community and gaming press. However, information from these playtests won’t begin to be freely available until the second week in July (11th) which just happens to be the same day we visit EA again in Guildford.

We know you guys have been climbing the walls for Career Mode information and finally you have a deadline. Just over a week to go and we’ll be able to dish all the dirt on FIFA 12′s Career Mode, live once again from EA’s UK headquarters.

The countdown begins…

But don’t expect EA SPORTS to be quietly hiding in the background as Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo slug it out because FIFA 12 will be on show and who know’s what new details may emerge.

The big one today for FIFA fans is the Gamechangers: EA 2011 Preview which will be showing at 12:30 PDT. You can watch the EA conference live on Gametrailers or Spike TV.

Our man on the ground at E3 2011 is @asimtanvir who will be playing FIFA 12, speaking to Dave Rutter and visiting the FIWC Grand Finals. So we should have some big FIFA exclusives for you from the show floor this week.

Enjoy the show.

It feels like it’s been forever, and what’s worse is that while there’s only 4 days to go until we can all play FIFA 10, there’s still 26 days until we can play the full game (44 days if you live in the US or Canada).

In this podcast episode I speak to dave797 of the EA forums about his experience of FIFA 10 down at the Emirates (including his thoughts on player individuality being better this year), as well as what he thinks of the latest Manager Mode screenshots and also the “ping-pong passing” that appears in the Gamescom videos.
