FIFA 11 Reviews

The Transfer System is poor and unrealistic. Needs to be fixed.
Player Growth is horrible.
International teams should be added.
Transfer Window should have a "Search by Country" option.
"Rest of the World" Clubs should be brought back!!
Improve the interface in Manager Mode.

FIFA 11 is the best game

Create addons to fifa 12 with more divisions and teams from more countrys. Like sweden for example. I would buy it!

They should make the marks above the player much bigger , its annoying if you play with more people you can't see so good who is who !
That would be a good thing if you could change it in the menu or something

why not include international fixtures into manager modes such as euro and world cup qaulifiers while aslso controlling your club domesticaly i think that gamers would enjoy this feature if it was included.

Apoel F.C should be included in the rest of the world. It has played twice in champions league. it kicked out slovan bratislava wisla krakow copenhagen and partizan. And now it won Zenit St. Petersburg. I believe it deserves a place in Rest of the World more than some other teams...

The player growth in fifa11 was HORRIFIC. fix that.

Fifa 11 first in career mode (player) if the player's fitness is down, should have a choice if he wants to play or not rather than the coach giving him orders to play. This should be implemented in Fifa 12.
Also more African teams should be added like Nigeria and Ghana.This would be a huge improvement on Fifa 12.

Please... PLEASE remove the black ball from online games in ultimate team!!!

To be honest the career mode needs to be sorted out
With players demanding cash and wanting to play more
And when I tried to buy deco from fluminese it didn't let me
But I could of had him on a loan also can the fans chant players
Name and when I'm always playing away there's flags in the crowd
But it would be nice to have home flags and u need to sort the volleys
Coz when
The commentator goes on the volley it's no way near a volley
And the stadiums. I'm a chelea fan I need to make other stadiums like wigans and stoke because when I play away to them
The stadium is terrible

FiFa 11 was a great game though one category that needs to be improved is the TRANSFER MARKET in Career Mode. The negotiation system needs to be better it needs to be more realistic. Firstly when you buy a player you should be able to select if you want to buy him permanantly or on a loan deal, also the prices for the elite players should be lowerd but the negotiation system needs to be ALOT better. Other Examples are their SHOULD be player + cash deals in a transfer or player + loan deals to bring another player in from a different club, and you should be able to buy a player after a loan deal ( In FIFA 11 it says "the player has recently transfered to the team and the club wont allow him to leave" after a loan deal. Realisticly in real life after a loan deal the club always has the option to purchase the player after the loan is complete if they think he has done well. Another major category that needs to be checked is the free agent list. In reality the free agent list ( Bosman List) is real big because not everyone wants to sign for their respective club so negotiations should be more thougher to pursuade the player to stay at his club at the end of the season. Anothr major problem was that when I scanned through the loan list I would only find youngsters and then when I would check what transfers other clubs made it would say ( David Luiz has sealed a loan deal to Liverpool) This is stupid because on the list it didnt indicate he was up for loan !

EASILY THE WORST GAME SINCE BEING INTRODUCED TO FIFA WAY BACK IN 94


way too many things wrong with the game to get into it......... "absolute tripe" hits the nail firmly on the head!!

Frustratingly pointless...............senseless

1)Sprint Dribbling needs to be improved, just like 'PES 11 Game' because it brings realistic to game. So that gamers can use another way to beat opposite player.
2)In FIFA 11 "BE A PRO" was quite boring. Make some interaction from players,managers after & before the match.
3)Computer players needs to use more skills like,
*Cristiano Ronaldo needs to use tricks skills.
*Messi needs to use dribbling skills.
4)Real "Press conference" needs to be included before a main event match and after the match(Spanish cup,etc). This will improve quality of 'BE A PRO' and also award presentation for 'top scorer'.
5)Computer player movements are predictable sometimes and also use a lot crosses. They need to play 'passing game' when cross not possible just like 'Barcelona Team'.
6)Manager reaction to every ball scored,missed,failed to tackle,red/yellow card,etc needs to bring in game. It also improves quality of game.

1. When taking free kicks from deep, if you pass it, all the players who are in the box all run out and back towards you instead of staying in there.
2. Same with corners, you could pass it on a corner, and then all the players in the box just ran out. I think that needs to be changed.
3. When playing as a lower league team, i did not like it how all the players are slower at running than higher teams, i think you probably get a lot more quicker players in the lower leagues, due to the more games they play, they have to be fitter. If you are a lower league club, speed should not be a factor, just shot accuracy, passing accuracy ect.
4. Like what others have said, Transfers can be quite boring.
5. Something that really annoys me is how fricking difficult it is to score a free kick, it would be good if you can make those a little easier on fifa12.

the problems about Fifa 11 were that they didn't have some of the world class stadiums, Fifa 12 should have all the stadiums in the EPL, what happened to the Portuguese league? Fifa 08 has all their stadiums but Fifa 11 doesn't? and your be a pro player should be able to get subbed off if he isnt playing well, those small things can make a big difference, other than that Fifa is the best playsation game on this planet, God Bless you guys

Biggest frustration is Pro Online where you have like 8 strikers all competing for the same position. The others that are unfortunate take up the leftover positions commonly defense and goalie (if they're mad). What's worse is not only does the team become substantially weaker, but it becomes a little league kickball game; i'd say i get this situation about 8 or 9 times out of 10. I wish FIFA would only allow players play w/ the same position instead of messing up everyone's game and rating.

sort out the lag in games , its a joke when playing as the same team you can not catch them running down the line.

OK now I've had it. No one seems to want to say this, but after a year of playing FIFA 11 (yes I'm still playing), I've finally found it in me to say this;

FIFA 11, and I mean this quite sincerely and literally, is the most STUPIDEST FIFA game ever.
If EA dont stop messing with FIFA, I may have to turn to PES soon.

Hope it's not to late, there needs to be player lock. When your playing two players on the same team one should have the option to be just one player, and everyone else the other player. Like PES

One thing that would make the game bettet would be adding south american tournaments like the copa libertadores and some south american leages like colombian,argentina,uruguayan leages. Cuz almost everyone in the south american continent love soccer and they deserve a chance to.

i think that in fifa 12 there should be more detail as in you should be able to argue with the ref and also there should be a feature where you kick the ball away and get booked for it. another idea is jumping into the crowd or taking your players top off as a celebration and getting booked ..of course. Also as a member of a pro club i believe that the microphones when we go into to a match should be repaired as we cannot communicate even though we all have microphones. i think these suggestions will help enhance fifa

Need some scottish football grounds. 2 bigest teams in scotland are of course cltis and rangers. Having Celtic Park and Ibrox in the game would make it pretty damn good.

a idea to improve was that the linesman's should be more realistic ,like in real football the linesmans wouldnt see it if was only a tiny bit off ,like really hard to see and so in fifa they shouldnt call it offside if its just the most tinniest bit off it should be only called off when its realistic enough to see cause sum of the decisions that were off were ridiculous and would be impossible to see even sometimes i couldnt see it so im saying you should make the linesman's decisions more realistic

I would like a legends mode where all the greatest players of past decades are included. In games such as Fight Night you can play as Muhamed Ali or George Foreman so why cant Fifa do something similiar.

1) make the players look more big,because it hurts the eye
2) transfer activity in manager mode should be more realistic
3)players should look more realistic
4)responsiveness has to be better
5)there should be referee in matches
6) commentatory must improve,with new voice and new talks
7)more international teams must be added,especially african teams like ghana and cote d'voire

thanks and the game would be more interesting and popular if u can make it according to the demand :)

One thing which which bugged me in '11 was when I had a player on loan for a season, and wished to either sign him proper, or get him on loan again for the next season. At the earliest opportunity I had I would try, and he's already been sold. There should be an option towards the end of his loan with you.

Also, I would be cool to know when players are going to retire. I was playing Manager mode with Fulham, and Danny Murphy was my playmaker, but I found he retired unannounced after my first season.

Other than that, keep it up, Fifa '11 was a real achievement, can't wait until '12 with the new physics system and improved AI.

1. ADD THE ARGENTINA LEAGUE
2. Add the Chile League
3. Add the Mexico 2nd League
4. Add the Greece League
5. Add the Japan League
6. Career mode to last 20 years instead of 15
7. Add the Copa Libertadores and all tournaments for the continents and the World Club Cup
8. Add better players to the Classic ix like Pele, Maradona, Zidane, etc.
9. Fix when the cpu buys players in manager mode and they have the no. 2 on the shirts. They need to have different numbers to make it more interesting not always no. 2
10. More stadiums and players
11. Thank You!!!

More British looking stadiums
Before kick off choice which end you want to attack or if you get the kick off.if you Liverpool
You may want to attack the cop end second half for example instead of facing the same way
Every game.
If you win promotion from championship to premier league change the top logo and balls for the league your in.
Change of weather conditions throughout the game and if its a night game in august starts off daylight and as the game progresses it gets darker.
Better transfer system more realistic.

All i ask for Fifa 12 is that you stop the glitchers! I mainly play online clubs and I am now playing people with and ability rating of 161, 127 etc!! This game would be great if you just get rid or stop the glitching cheats! Its ruins it for all the people who play the game fairly!! I am sick of winning games and then they quit (after 5 mins have past) and we dont get the win. If fifa 12 isnt a vast improvement on this I will be switching to PES which is a shame because i have been fifa through and through.

1) A more enhanced pre-game analysis. For example, have a "The Player To Watch," which should be the player whose in best form over the past 5 matches, showing their statistics for those previous 5 matches.
2) Show what the attendance is for each game, and have realistic variations. For example, there shouldn't be 70,000 people at Old Trafford if youre playing in snow. I know Man United fans are die hard, but let's be realistic.
3) Training Points: for example, if a player scores a goal in a game, he earns 20 training points. You would then be able to use those training points to buy a training session and have a chance to upgrade his attributes, depending on how well you do in the training session.
4) More enhanced commentary. For example, it's annoying to hear the same thing over and over again whenever a player scores.
5) Post-game conferences where you are asked a question and are given three responses from which you must choose from, and you're reputation is affected by which answer you choose. And dont't make the right answer obvious all the time.
6) in between set pieces, show players talking to each other, coaches talking to each other, or fans showing their pride.
Please take my suggestions into consideration. Thank you!

The worst thing about FIFA 11 is that FC Barcelona was lousy in the game. Simply because the players aren't as fast or as strong as the players in for example: Chelsea, Real Madrid, Man Utd, Manchester City, Arsenal etc.
This doesn't make any sense. How come that Messi has 59 (!) in strenght? :S That is by far the weirdest calculation of a player I have ever seen. Has anyone at EA Sports followed Messi the past 5 years? He is by far one of the strongest players below 170cm in the world. Just look at him when he runs, dribbles, get's tackled BUT STILL continues. Messi is FAIR PLAY and should be awarded for being so. I cannot believe that Tottenhams Luka Modric is stronger than Messi in FIFA11. FC Barcelona has been the best club in Europe in the past 3 years and you can't feel that AT ALL in the game. It is way to easy to beat FC Barcelona in the game simply because the players lack strenght and speed and height. Football shouldn't be based on these three things but in FIFA11 these things outshine everything. Just run to the corner flag with Cristiano Ronaldo, hit the ball inside the area and Benzema/Kaka will win 9/10 times against both Alves and Puyol etc. Then we have Pedro and Villa who are simply useless despite their technique simply because they don't have the strenght or power to get pass defenders. I have noticed that I always meet Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal or Inter when playing online - simply because those teams are supperior to FC Barcelona. Balance the game. Reality check, EA. One last thing: Kaka on the cover? Why put up a contract with a player that isn't even top 50 in the world right now.

there was no potugeese ore russian competition and there where no competitions except from fifa 11 chalenge and mandermode there is not a good eropa league ore championsleague and ghana ivorycoast chile paraguay serbia and egypt

I have been a FIFA fan since AT LEAST FIFA 96, and i must say this is THE WORST the passing has been. Im sick of the system guessing who im passin to. I have played MANY games where the passing is inaccurate and just absolutely terrible, its insanely frustrating!!!!!! I try to play a through ball, and i TAP to triangle button, only to have the ball run out of bounds, because for some reason the pass wasnt weighted properly.
I try to play it to a player in front, and it decides its going to pass it to nobody, but just in front of himself and eventually to the opponents. OR EVEN BETTER, IT CHOOSES A PLAYER OFF SCREEN TO MAKE A LONG PASS TO, THAT IS NEVER GOING TO MAKE IT.
This needs to be fixed for 12, or else this will be the last FIFA game i play!!! GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT

Let's not forget the fact that the player switching is just as bad. I dont get how the central defender is the closest player to the ball when its still in the opponents half!!! GARBAGE

You need to focus more upon the career/manager mode and not on gameplay as this is pretty decent now and has probably reached a plateau.

Not to be overly critical or negative but there were almost countless faults with Career mode / manager mode.

Player growth:
players under the age of 21 don't seem to grow. of course a player would improve between the age of 17 and 21.
Up until the age of 30 a player will never really get worse (may loose form but this by definition is temporary).
There is an unrealistic expectation that players need to play so many games, a 17 year old at Arsenal who plays well in say 15 games a season would shoot up but on Fifa 11 he is likely to decrease overall.
Players with a low overall rating always have poor stamina and generally poor speed and acceleration, Why?
Players also grow up to the age of 30 (my latest experience) instead of peaking at about 26 - 30.
Some players grow too much e.g. Chamakh grew to 87 far too high for a decent at best player. Others don't grow enough and don't actually reach their potential to about 30 so you don't bother playing them as there not good enough before.
Players don't seem to retire they play well into their mid - late 30's some even to 40, without any real drop off in performance or fitness.

Transfers:
player valuation is awful whoever was in charge of this should be sacked. £11m for Neymar instead of the actual £37.5m buy-out clause. A 33 year old Drogba valued at £32m far too high. Surely this is simple to sort just input the correct transfer values for players.

Its near impossible to sell any of your players if for example I wanted to sell Ramsey (Arsenal) I would have endless clubs begging to sign him on Fifa 11 I get maybe 4 over 2 months. So need more bids for players and an ability to save these bids and negotiate others.
Need bids from realistic teams for players e.g no more Huth going to Barcelona or teams just 'trading' defenders every season.
Clubs should inquire as to the availability of players without me having to list them as for sale i.e. Barcelona's pursuit of Fabregas.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to sell anyone over £25/£30m this needs to be sorted.

Gameplay:

Even on legendary difficulty the opposition can't string more than 5 passes together without being tackled or having the ball intercepted. This means that in a 38 game season (all games played on legendary, full manual) I concede about 15 goals with 25 clean sheets. this goes for any team on the game.

Simulation/ League:

The top AI teams drop too many points over a season Man United generally lose 6 or 7 and draw 9 or 10 games this is too many.

Star players have no impact on the game at all. There is no difference playing against Messi or Ronaldo as there is against any 75 rated player. This is also reflected in their stats, when managing Real Madrid I scored 42 goals in 27 league games with Ronaldo and yet Messi averaged about 13 in 37 for Barcelona over 3 seasons as oppose to the 30 plus he his practically guaranteed to get.

Injuries:

Players rarely ever get injured, you occasionally get a training injury but it does not state what it is.
In game players occasionally get injured by challenges but these last about 5 minutes game time and then they are fine. Also the animation is never correct, players will get hit on their right knee and yet in the injury animation their holding their left ankle. I believe that in 5 seasons I have only had 2 proper injuries caused during games.

If it is too late to include these improvements in Fifa 12 then do so in 13 as your loyal fan base deserves better than to be ripped off each year, surely you've made enough profit now to higher more staff and put in more research and development time.


Finally I suggest testing your game before release as all these faults were apparent within the first few days if not hours of playing the game. If you cannot do this then at least have the decency not to release the game.


A disappointed and yet strangely loyal Fifa fan (every edition from 97 - 11 from Sega Saturn to PS3)

1 i just want to say to put best celebrations on carrer and more trophies because when u win is the same.2 really have to have downloads boots. 3 have to have UEFA and the FIFA silo be perfect

I love fifa 11 ,really I don't many complaints about the game, I mainly play online and I have blast defeating my opponents, and im sure fifa 12 will have new feautures, That'll make it even more enjoyable ; my only complaint is some players are giving generic faces , specially my favorite player Antonio Valencia of Manchester United, can you please give him a more realistic face I would really appreciated,oh I also jbelieve he might giveve the best crosses in the world today thanks ; looking forward to late september to

Purchase the rights to the Champions League game to become enthusiastic and realistic - the millions of lovers of this game want to buy the rights league!!

Add the World Cup, Copa America, the United European, African Nations, Asian, Allibertdoris Cup, World Club Cup

Amendment to the things that should be in career mode!!

1 - Stop the tournaments because the World Cup. Situation becomes a realistic career
2 - ability to modify the price of the player such as the sale of the 1,000,000 player, the increase of the club does not live the other 1,120,000 ridiculous situation.
3 - ability to work full-flight warm-up (for real-live)
4 - friendly matches - do not be random - the selection of Director
5 - the ability to buy the player and for circulating

Other opinions!!!

1 - add more than one Nike shoes
2 - the ability to rule on the representation (the way in Catalan)
3 - the ability to mesh the goal
4 - the public should be more realistic
5 - entry of doctors to deal with the player on the pitch
6 - the emergence of players (switch) at one time is not only one letter and other
7 - You should be a switch more than 3 friendly matches
8 - change some of the hairstyles of some of the players. Example (when seen from Higuain long hair for a long time - no need to change some of the hair styles of the players.
9 - put Bdlten guard
10 - Ability to change the sign of Captain of the player to another player. This is it silly silly silly very

I hope to achieve what you want to EA .

Although Fifa 2011 did encorporate some new ideas that made vast improvements in comparison to fifa 10, there is one gaping hole in my mind that would make fifa 2012 a great game: more international teams. Where is the Ivory Coast? They are by far the most superb team from africa. They need to be on fifa 2012

1.More Stadiums, and make the stadiums more realistic!!!
2.More real gameplay faces !!!!
3.UEFA Champions League, Copa America, World Cup, Europa League etc.
4.More teams and leagues
5.More Boots
6.Change your kit at the end of every season on manager mode by gettting sponsors n such
7.Have a training mode where you can actually have an actual training session in manager mode.
8.Make the way temas play more realistic like hor barcelona pass the ball ALOT!!
9.Better celebrations
10.Build your own team and stadium and kits!!!!!!
11.Be an international manager !!!!!
12.Should make fans more realistic and more detailed
13.You should have different free kick and penalty styles, like playes do!!!
14.You should be able to edit the Woeld XI
15.Put better players in the Classic XI like Pele, Maradona, Gasgoine, SCHOLES, VAN DER SAR, Zidane, Cruyff, Cafu, FAT RONALDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi
i have some comments which would make fifa 12 interesting
1. we need international tournaments like Euro,copa america and world cup.
2. in manager mode to be realistic there should be a option to transfer the players according to present year at the amount they are transferred
3. there should be many commentators
4. there should be more international teams

Should have kept it like FIFA world cup 2010 game because that was brilliant and FIFA 11 doesn't really explore the international level of football and there should have been European competition on the very first season cause it gets really boring waiting a whole season for europe

-I hate this impact ingine, are there girls on the field!!!!!!! almost every touch my player receives puts him on the floor.
-U get push off the ball too much and it dosent seem to be workin for me and this is really frustrating, especially when you are better than your opponent and all they can do is push you around, the only way i can win against players like that is to keep the ball faaaaaarrrrr away from them cause there is no way i can win a 50-50.
-The way how they control the ball is extremely poooooooooooor, there has been countless own goals scored all because the ball is at chest height, and no matter what direction you hold the analog stick they have to carry the ball way forward, this is so stupid and frustrating, alot of the other way u controll the ball just make you loose all momentum and loose your only chance to score.
-Another thing i cant understand is HOW ON EARTH DOES ANY FOOTBALLER IN THE WORLD MISS AN EMPTY GOAL. This along with the constant rugby tackles makes me contemplating breaking up my fifa cd it really pushes me to my limits. at times i think i expect too much from this so call best football game in the world.
- It would be nice to hear some better soundtracks, fifa 06 to 08 were the best in terms of tracks.
- It would to c the sunset matches eventually turn night, just like in NFS Hot Pursuit, i thing that's the first driving game the time of day changes in -game this is really an wicked and realistic feature.
-I just hope fifa 12 addresses all these issues.

There will never be a perfect FIFA, its a marketing fraud! If you have a game that works why buy the new one? there will always be 'bugs and glitches' to fix in next seasons game with new 'bugs and glitches' introduced, as frustrating as this all is, they dont care, your just a nobody customer giving them money and thats all thats important to them...

Fifa 11 was a really poor game I didnt really like how you cant buy your virtual pro in manager mode when you go to a different like man u and u try to buy your vp he dissapears so please put that feature where you can buy your virtual pro please and put more teams international and more leagues and more tournaments like world cup gold cup uefa champions league etc. thanks

womens teams

Created teams should be available in Career Mode like it used to be on the PS2, where by you are able to switch as many clubs as you want with created clubs, before choosing which to play with.

When players retire, their successors should at least have their exact gear, if not random gear, because in FIFA 11, they all have tucked in shirts with orange EA Sports boots.
So by the 12th season, almost every player in the game looks alike.
FIFA 10 was better at this, and also at showing us the entire list of transferred players.

Also Club finances should be editable when starting "Be a Manager".
And stop taking little thins out of one edition of FIFA and bringing it back 2 editions later.

More real stadiums, more real boots other than ADIDAS, or, in Creation Centre, we should be able to edit colours of real boots.

the tackling sucks....players always falling over each other in the most pathetic ways.
player ratings are just terrible..nobody's speed should ever, ever, be less than 80.
the passing.......you know what??forget it, im done... fifa 11 SUCKS

-MORE AFRICAN TEAMS (NIGERIA, IVORY COAST, GHANA, EGYPT)

-MORE DEPTH IN MANAGER MODE (MORE OFF-SEASON OPTIONS INSTEAD OF JUMPING STRAIGHT INTO A NEW SEASON...THAT'S BORING AND ANNOYING.)

- WORLD CUP, CLUB WORLD CUP, AFRICAN CUP OF NATIONS, COPA AMERICA, EURO CUP.......

- MORE COMMENTATORS, AND DIFFERENT COMMENTS FOR DIFFERENT MATCHES...KINDA GET TIRED OF HEARING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER.

- IMPROVED PLAYER GROWTH....MAYBE BRING BACK THE OPTION OF MANUAL POINT DISTRIBUTIONS LIKE IN FIFA 09.

- FOR $65.00 I DONT WANT TO FEEL LET DOWN AND CHEATED...

everytime you tackle someone the guy tackling takes about ten seconds to move again thus getting the ball taken away from him Y....................everytime you go to tackle the player tackling trips over absolutley everything its so bad this game is sooooooooooo bad

FIFA 11 is the worst and most unrealistic game i have ever played in terms of football. the player attributes are absolutely terrible. A slow defender always cathes a fast attacking player Y it is so ridiculous...puyol or pique catching up ronaldo in a foot race ...i could not stop laughing after that for ages...so funny. you can block people off constantly . the offsides are sometimes wrong. you can just completley bulldoze someone and get away with it . the goal keepers dive for the most perfectic shots. you cant do quick one twos at pace with even the best passers in the world ...and the passing is an absolute abortion. Penlaty taking has been changed...Y. the ball just goes through players bodies lots of glitches.....they said they were guna make so people cnt play pinball football and thats exactly what everyone does online. the ea servers are an absolute abortion....and iv broken so many controllers thinking its the people who made the game cause they're incompetence infuriates me. ONE major problem they still have never got to grips with though and i dnt think they ever will is the player attributes.... i mean do these people actually watch football gareth bale is ridiculously fast and runs like a slow bus.....come on guys sort it out........everyone who iv spoke to about fifa completley agrees with me on how unrealistic it is .....
