Pro/Manager/Career modes - You've got to keep this different. It was a case of taking 5 steps back in my opinion with this years version. Very disappointed at the fact it was all made into basically one mode.
Be a pro gameplay
- Doesn't make me feel like a pro at all. Pre-season left me with a good impression at first with the exhibition games and they felt like it (half empty stands, fringe players getting game time) but after 2-3 matches it was all just the same. Squad was not rotated, all games played at home... I was man of the match or there abouts in every game yet I would find myself getting told "impress me more next time and you might get more of a chance" then i would sit out for a month just simulating games. No reserve games to play in, no substitute appearences, nothing. it became very frustrating to the point where I went back to fifa 10!
-My team mates A.I was brutal. Every time they got the ball they ran straight into the opposition players. Playing as liverpool, we lost nearly all of out games when I was just controlling myself. After about 6-7 games and being our top provider of goals/assists with about 3 of each, I decided to take control of the whole team. We than won every game by 3-4 goals. This is not me saying i ama good player but more so the way the team was playing. i would playing on the left of midfield and just stand there while the players in midfield would win the ball, then run straight back at them and loss it only for the opposing player to do the exact same! However when I had control of the team, this obviously wouldnt happen.
- All player animations are still the same, they all walk the same, run the same with or without the ball and I see no evidence of player individuality which should come out over a number of games if this is what was claimed. player likeness though was the best its been in any fifa game although i am still not a fan of the player models used. Still looks like porcelin to me for the lesser known players.
- That awful menu system and setup for the mode. It looks terrible and was by far the worst of the whole fifa series. It lacked any kind of options and failed to have any decent information on it. Needs to be expanded and include far more info on the league, team, and individual news and developments.
- The transfer setup has always been terrible with fifa and it needs to have a more football manager approach to it. To many days are simmed in between offers and replies which cuts down on valuable time to be chasing alternative options. Also its very hard to do scouting and find players. Too many sub menus to navigate and it takes forever!
- Creating your pro's appearance is disappointing as well. Why do I have to play 5000 matches (slight exaggeration maybe) to unlock ankle tape? and where are the ankle socks that are so popular umougst the pro's? Surely we should be able to customize our complete apprearance for the go? Hair styles look absurdly fake as well.
Be a pro Improvements
- Pro training. Why not have as part of preseason some of the drills to really help boost your stats (like nba 2k11 which is the best version of this mode I have seen by far!). You could use them as mini games using real training scenerios such as: Resistence running, Plyometrics, weights, ball control, set peice taking, passing etc. All the things real athletes do. Should only be minor things that take 20-30 seconds to complete so you're not wasting mass amounts of time doing them. The better you do the more points you get allocated.
- Media activity. Transfer rumors & Press conferences can effect the way a player/team performs. Also should have an effect on the crowds reaction to a player. Booing him for saying the wrong thing or diving, cheering him for being loyal or scoring big goals and being a fan favourite. That sort of thing. Players and Managers should have to respond to transfer rumors or criticisms about their play through the media.
- Match day. Did your efforts in training warrant a place in the first XI? or were you only good enough for the bench or even the reserves? Instead of always either starting the game or not at all why not have the player start from the bench? have an option to sim the match or watch it develop with no guarantee you will be played if the coach doesn't feel the like you could make a difference or need the experience or match fitness?
- Player agents. Should be introduced to take care of deals and hand in transfer requests. Also sponsorship deals cold be apart of it.
- Commentary. Needs to be redone and include info and feedback on the player and his performances instead of just coming out with the same lines about the same club or player.
General improvements
- Stadiums and pitch sizes. Always seems to be wrong. Anfield for example does not have 10 metres of space behind the goal or on the sides of the pitch. The crowd is right on the ends and adds to the atmosphere of playing there. Also the nou camp has a bigger pitch then say blackpool so why not make that sort of thing more accurate? This is noticable on just about all the pitches in the game
The finer details.
- Players warming up down the side lines during the match with fan favourites getting cheered by their supporters.
- More realistic style tv presentation during the game. Not sure when the last time I a tv camera on the pitch in the middle of a match!
- Why not try penalties from the shooters first person view? He could focus on the ball and be looking at the ref for the signal to shoot all while having the need for speed shift crash effect going on (heart beat, slo mo action, heavy breathing, etc like the nike ad?) Could work for both keeper and player... and maybe for free kicks as well? Especially in the be a pro mode?
- Player kits are another thing that needs to be totally re-done. They have no realistic features to them. Take a leaf out of the nba 2k series as they seem to have nailed it. Kits should also change during a game, they could become dirty and untucked to certain extent.
goalkeepers have a very extravagant and extraordinary saves absurd
forwards the last strokes are too weak and stupid
I think the stadium at the number of
I'm not going anywhere, but I want to milk ball
as well as the single player match just like what pro evo 2011 have done fa cup tournaments leauge cup tournaments just the same as you done the world cup because at the moment it gets a little bit boring player single matches online you also need to sort
out that silly backpass from the keeper the the other team can you also make the corners
a bit more varible and the headers still need sorting out
2. The ability to see players on the bench.
3. Ability to see the coach walking around and giving instructions and screaming at players.
4. Ability to run and hug coach at critical game changing moments.
5. Ability to heal injury automatically or manually (Just like EA Fight night, where you can heal your boxer)
6. Please remove all glitches. They are extremely annoying!
7. Create player reactions (For example, if a player is tackled by a player, that should make him more aggressive or eager to score a goal or maybe angrier )
PLAYER GROWTH IS NON-EXISTANT...............In career mode player rotation means your players lose Overall points for not playing enough games yet they are not fit enough to play continuous games, makes no sense. Your youth players are normally not good enough to play in the first team (worldclass,legendary) so need to be loaned out to increase attribute points. I bought R Lukaku, J Rodwell and P Jones for Liverpool, 3 great young prospects in the game, gave them a run out at least in every game and by January Lukakus player growth was -1. This an 18 year old playing in the first team. I had the same problem with Ngog the year before. Rodwell and Jones wouldn't budge for the season. Yet the players I had loaned out all gained 1 point. Basically you are better off loaning out players than trying to improve them yourself......shocking!! Certainly not something you want in a career mode.
The top teams in the league are selling their top stars and replacing them with mediocre players, decreasing the overall quality of the league.
My players want more money to re-sign even if they need a walking stick to get around and this in a team winning trophies every year. Senseless
The people behind this game need to be replaced. Not enough emphasis on the game being enjoyable. If this lack of quality continues a large boycott is inevitable.
1. i read a comment of making the career such that you can walk around the stadium, either as a manger/ player. this would be fantastic. like actually living in the FIFA world. however, i know this is unrealistic but would be an awesome addition.
So for realistic improvements:
1. team chemistry back please
2. players who struggle to play in certain leagues (i.e. Karim Benzema) great player but just isnt meshing at Real Madrid yet
3. other teams aggressively trying to buy one of your players. Unless you put someone up for sale clubs dont offer and they will never put in another bid if you reject the first one. And player plus cash deals. Just make it more realistic. More selling senarios etc. FIFA 11 was much better than FIFA 10 in this regard so good work
3. i heard more emotions in the players depending on past teams and the importance of the game- excellent idea
4. i love when the player likenesses are accurate. The french leagues have been greatly improved in that aspect and teams like arsenal, Chelsea and lyon all have players who look perfect. If we could see more of that i would love FIFA even more
5. please add training! i would love in career mode to be able to play like little mini games with the squad. with the option to be one player to work on his traits or the whole team or i suppose half the team in like a 5v 5 game to work on passing or other attributes you would like to see in a game.
1) My first season as a pro was with Leeds. I played at right-back. That season we scored 25 goals in all competitions. We had a run of 5 goaless draws in a row. Even when we were the stronger side. We could not finish, or pass, or cross, or move into space.
2) Chelsea was hopeless. I joined them after they'd finished 5th one season. As a 169cm defensive midfielder with an overall rating of 73, I won player of the season and scored 1 in 3 of all our goals on the professional setting, and helped them to 3rd.
3) I had enough of poorly-performing teams. Real Madrid had nailed us to the wall. So I joined Real Madrid. I played as a striker. Overall: 75. I was the top scorer in La Liga that season with 22 goals. Xavi Alonso lost his place in the first 11 after failing to make one successful pass in 4 matches (normally he didn't try either, he'd get the ball from a collegue after failing to make the tackle and run straight into an opponent). Cristiano Ronaldo skied every free kick he took that season. In one game I set up Kaka 6 times, inside the penalty area, and you can guess what happened. The crowning achievement was to hit the ball with the outside of his right boot halfway to the corner flag (to his left) from just outside the 6 yard box.
4) I decided maybe my dominating style was cramping everyone else. I joined Dynamo Moskva and played sweeper. After 8 games we'd scored 7 goals, 4 of which came in the 7 games that I played. I scored 1, set up 2 from right-wing crossses, and Kuranyi scored the 1 goal I didn't set up. I got suspended at one point and missed a game which my team won 3-0. Is it just me?
I'll skip the rest but make mention of goaless Jermaine Defoe's moment. I played centre-half and tackled my way through midfield, lobbed the ball over the defence straight to JD who had 3 metres of space, he ran at goal, into the penalty area, stopped, did a 360 spin and lost the ball. I've got more, but you've had enough.
It wouldn't bother me so much if these were isolated incidents, but this kind of thing is now normal. Anybody else notice that the off-the-ball running of wingers and strikers tends to be across the back line, rather than through, and in the wrong direction?
Lastly, my team ALWAYS plays worse than our opponent. At Tottenham we were completely out-played by Burton in a 120 minute goal-less draw and lost on penalties. I'll spare you the Barca story. 11 v 11 is alright, but still pretty boring and low-scoring. Try getting Barca to play the way they really do.
Can't wait for FIFA 12.
- Players off the ball make the worst runs possible. The runs that the players make are runs that are expected from the computer playing style, but nobody who plays fifa actually plays the way the computer plays. With the computer, most average players have the trick ability of Messi, and they use the trickery everytime they get the ball! this is unrealistic. The computers gameplay is unrealistic! Through balls aren't looked for enough and there are basically no crosses.
- Online play, as it is every year, is completely different to how it is in exhibition mode. I don't know what going on there but surely it is fixable.
- Goalkeepers make the wrong types of save most of the time. For example an easy take would result in a huge dive and punch over the bar?
- When a team scores in real life, the running goalscorer is closely followed by his whole team. But in fifa 11, the other players couldn't care less? They should run after him at the pace he is running at!
- Why are there only 5 slots you can save your saved goals in?
- I am a big fan of the creation centre, but there should be an option whether you want to use an easy or advanced player/team. At the moment is seems too simply, and there are only a couple of faces and hairstyles you can choose from.
There are many more, please reply to this via my email adress to confirm you have read this! I would also maybe have some input in making fifa 12! I think you will find my feedback very useful as i have been a frequent fifa user since the 1900's. Thank you, Mitch Beamish.
The amount of times that two of my own players hit into each other, slide tackle each other and get in each others way in front of both goals is unbelievable. Costs me goals at both ends constantly.
And whats with the penalties?? Penalties are so bad in the game even the computer players can't take them. Final of the FA Cup, went to penalties against Chelsea, beat them 2-0 in the shootout. They missed all theirs!! 3 down the middle into the arms of my keeper who didn't dive anyway and 2 over the bar. Shocking!!!!!
And I also felt as i was playing the game that penalties was always going to be the outcome. Watching my players' lack of ability all over the pitch led me to believe the score was being controlled. Some of the passing and shooting and genuine play was diabolical. There was no sense to some of it. And this from a still unbeaten team coming to the end of February.
This game is horrible!!!!!! nothing works the way it should....and it's extremely frustrating!!! especially when most of these things shouldn't have been happening!!! And What is up with the Countless 5 seconds of Freezing????
Just some problems with the game play..i agree that it has to be hard and the computer can kick in at any time and the opposition can score goals out of thin air. but my main concern is the stats for example..acceleration and speed, if a defender has stats of 70 in acc and speed and a Wright-phillips has the ball, there is no way that a defender with 70 can keep up. another problem ive seen is just because a player has a crap player rating and is fast in real life doesnt mean he cant out sprint a slow world class player like gareth barry.
in real life there is days were the weather can feature snow, but unless its very heavy there should not be any snow at all because clubs can move the snow off the pitch prior to the game kicking off and at half time, so id like to see either no snow or the pitch covered in white and the ball most be orange on snow fixtures.
When players run into each other they shouldn't both fall over and lose possession, in real life most of the time a player will still be on his feet and not a complete loss of possession.
offsides are terrible, fifa11 are giving offsides when its just an arm to the attacker and the leg to a defender and the core of the body are in line, fix this because this is the main problem. also the computer takes too long after a goal kick or a free kick to come back into play, offside computer players should leave the ball as soon as they become active in the play and only move when they have been controlled.
fifa 11 should have european games played in the first season in manager mode, most people that play the game choose teams that are the top teams in a league meaning that their have qualified in the previous season. nothing worse than playing a whole season just to qualify for europe.
Every time a new fifa comes out i fall in love with the game because there are some differences from the previous games but realise later that these problems still occur.
- able to loan players in without them being listed for loan
-swap players like eto and ibrahimovic did
- scout to find players
also heading seems to be quite easy in fifa 11 with the attacker winning the header mostly.
overall the game is wicked just needs some minor twweaks
scouts
able to loan(players that are not listed for loan) and swap players in career mode.
heading a bit more difficult.
handballs, diving
argue with ref
take quick free kick while gk is lining up the wall
no ultimate team mode on ps2
not so good graphics
not enough modes
Note: I've noticed recently that the eyes of players are beginning to behave like real eyes do, so that's super neat to see!
Slow gameplay: If anyone has ever seen a football match before, it's not a crazy game where everyone is always sprinting as fast as they can at superhuman speeds. FIFA 11 replicates the natural and actual speed of the beautiful game quite well. Attacks take time to develop, they aren't just instant things. This is a football simulation and not an arcade game, therefore it should simulate a football match and it's speed.
Difficult Moves: Moves aren't easy to perform in real life, therefore it shouldn't be easy to pull off say, a rainbow toss, in a game. To be able to do moves in the game, you need to practice them, like in real life. That's why the Arena is there, to practice.
Awful/Slow Passing: I read one comment which said, "I played as Barcelona and wanted to link up with Messi yet tI cant because the pass depends on how much power you put on it." Well OBVIOUSLY. What do you want the game to do, make the passes for you? The new passing in FIFA 11 is great. It makes you think about your passes before you make them, and then you actually have to execute them with skill. It makes the game more realistic. If you want the passes to be made for you, then might as well not even play the game.
Underperforming Players: Wayne Rooney is not Jesus. Nor is any other good player in the game. They can't do everything you think they can. Just because a defender takes a good angle on a speedster and catches up to him, that doesn't mean that the developers made that player super slow. It means that the defender took a good angle, like they would in real life. REALISM. In fact, your superstar players will fail during a game most of the time, Rooney and Drogba and Ronaldo don't score every time. Stop complaining about it.
And a side note, I have also noticed some complaints about players not making runs. There is a button to have your players make a run. If you want your players to make the runs you want, stop complaining about it and tell them to do it yourself.
And Yzee, your inconsistency you are talking about, that happens in real life too. The ball isn’t going to go where you want it to every time, just because you want it to. It’s called being realistic. Cry about it. And the superstar goalies, the goalies in this game are professionals. They will have the proper positioning to give them the best oppurtunity to make a save. Especially goalies like Cech, Howard, and Van de Saar, they will make saves like it’s a disease in real life too. It takes skill to score a goal, in the game and in real life. The game is realistic. If the game wasn’t realistic everyone would complain even more. Live with the game being a true football simulation
The basic mechanics of football are seriously lacking here!! Players’ abilities in and around the box are appalling. Tussling to get in front of a man means nothing because the man behind is the man that normally wins the ball. We all know it was a bit of a joke the way you could square it past the keeper in Fifa 10 but now when you’ve finally played your way into that same situation your two players concerned turn into two clumsy donkeys. Sometimes the squared pass will head backwards to the opposition. The pace of the game is toooooo slow. Its one thing taking away the players’ abilities to run the length of the pitch but to sometimes not be able to pass the ball 20 yards is unbelievable. Again the feeling it gives you in game is you’re playing against a program and not playing a football game. You can see clearly that one team will get all the decisions, all the 50/50s. The rain and snow for me are just pure annoying. Again on worldclass and legendary it just slows the game even more and makes the passing and shooting worse. The taller you are the slower you are…..wt*??
most features are ok, but career mode is a shambles, it needs to be improved lots. most of these are improvements but i have suggestions too. overall though, the game is a dissapointment
disable autosave
firstly there isnt a limit for how long you have, get to choose when to retire. if you get sacked, instead of starting a new season, continue where you left off with your new club
be able to manage an international team, or get a call-up if you play well as a manager
international matches throughout the game and players have to leave, world cup, euros.qualifiers even friendlies etc.
it would be really cool if you can get to choose player of the season for your club
scouting NEEDS to be brought back
player growth is atrocious, fix it and when players are loaned out they gain experience and get better, update it at the end of each season, so eg. jack wilshere starts with 75. loaned out for 3 months. becomes 78. plays well and becomes 80 at end of season. start of next season - 82
interviews, press conferences with the media and sponsorship deals
stadium upgrades, built a new stadium, choose a capacity, that would be cool
selling players actually works, the better players dont sell!!!
practices and training to improve players, but lower there stamina and increase risk of injury
there are no long-term injuries, must put them in. in real life teams have 5 or 6 players injured a game, put that into fifa 12
uefa champions league and europa league NOT ecc and efa
when a player scores a goal, underneath say 5th goal of the season etc.
if you win the league before the end of the season, the trophy presentation is still given
more players at the beginning of the next season, other youth recruits from different clubs
reserve team matches and assisant suggests who is playing well for the reserves and should be given a chance with the first team, also if players are coming back from injury, you get a message saying 'kaka has completed half a game for the reserves against valencia, he should be fit in 3 weeks
bring the 'player stats' full thing back from fifa 10
put the form thing back, but dont change the players overall
in the transfer market, when playing in a bad league, every single player from a better league rejects to play, change it to only the best players can do that!
be able to loan or get free agents when it isnt the transfer market
be able to see the news from other leagues
job offers when another manager is sacked, but depending on the reputation you dont always get the job
when signing a player you should be able to see their stats for the previous season. ie appearances, goals,assists, clean sheets etc. if in january window, should be able to view for season so far
as an alternative (or in addition) to my 'ask for more funds from the board' suggestion,
the option to convert some of your club budget into additional weekly wages would be nice..
this would be good for smaller clubs who do well and have accumulated transfer funds but do not have the ability to pay the wages of their desired transfer targets.
players who are not playing should be able to request to leave the club
virtual pro can leave for a different club in january
also, in real life the russian league is played in the spring and summer, so please fix that
replay goals in the arena while playing a practice match and on one-on-one, celebrate goals and try out celebrations to see which are the best
seriously, the worst thing about the squads is you can't see the first name??WTH???
also, it would be cool if you could have national squad stats in the player stats, i.e apps and goals
diving and handballs should be improved, accidental ones are waved away and purposeful ones are booked
referees make wrong calls and make offside mistakes
if offside has been called and the player takes a shot or takes off his shirt celebrating a goal (bring that in for important goals or injury time winners or equalisers), he gets booked
players arent that happy if they score a consolation goal or if they score the teams 6th or 7th goal
show substitutes warming up on the side of the pitch
show players shaking hands, exchanging jerseys after a game
show fans celebrating after the game
when a player scores a goal make the fans go wild, cheer, chanting and make noise
keepers make mistakes
you should be able to argue against an unfair desicion and if you argue to much you get booked
show player's reaction after conceeding a penalty
improve the commentary and make it more realistic
chip penalties in the corners and fake chip shots. be able to change type of shot after fake, eg.laces-finesse, chip-laces
show more replays, even after rubbish shots and handballs. show replays if the ball stays in play but then goes out afterwards
if the keeper makes a great save, players congratulate him or sometimes he shouts at his defenders for making mistakes
you should be able to talk to the players at halftime(if you want to)
see the dugout and players on the bench
players can get injured in air duels
the goalkeepers should be able to get injuerd when they run
out to the ball and a player runs into him or when they are punching out the ball on
cross ins or corners and a player runs into the goalkeeper
warm up before match
quick throw ins
better injuries,you can see the leg break or twist or see when its broken
players pulling other players jerseys like they often do in real life
u21 sides
easier chips, fifa 10 was too easy, fifa 11 is too hard, also have a 'dink button' where the player stabs the ball over a falling keeper while running at pace
let players leave the ball to run out of play
more stadiums
more national sides, ghana, ivory coast, egypt, WALES AND UKRAINE
use photos of players in line ups like sky sports
more leagues - argentinian, greek, romanian, egyptian, saudi and lots more rest of the world team, it would be nice if you had under 'rest of world' 'south america', 'europe' etc.
crowds at derbys and big matches should be louder
show attendance figures, for smaller matches and friendlies it should be less, for bigger matches and important matches it should be more
thanks, i know its really long but please submit it to fifa, im sure it has loads of good stuff
* When finding a match online and it fails, why does the screen have to revert all the way back to the arena? I have to go through 12 different menu's just to get back onto the online matchmaking screen. And when your servers fail (on a very, very regular basis) this starts to get on your nerve.
* When in manager mode (career/pro mode), you can select play with your pro, or play with the whole team when about to start a match. Can you put a setting in the next one where you can choose one of these options, and it becomes your default option.So you dont have to do it every match. (PS playing as a pro sucks)
i also forgot to mention that the AI on your team is very well stupid i mean a ball will skim past so many of my players slowly and i cant intercept because when i switch player i end up at the other end of the pitch and when going for a tackle they sometimes just stop and don’t do anything and ultimate team is now flawed due to the duplication. also i have noticed when you tackle a player there is too much hesitation from your own players i have had many tackles where i have got the ball and the other player has managed to recover in the speed of light and still beat me to the ball this is stupid and also player stats are very unrealistic. im sorry EA i was really looking forward to this years fifa i thought you might have finally improved this year but ive come away dissapointed and why no national team play in the career??? im sorry ea but if fifa 12 hasnt improved on all these things ive mentioned i just wont play any more ive been a loyal fifa player since 98 world cup and ive looked past these things but i cant play a game with so many errors.
i keep remembering things fifa world cup 2010 was amazing it was smooth fast paced the players were well balanced and realistic game visuals were fantastic menus were fast what did you do for fifa 11? look how well it did and how well the game sold and the positive reviews people gave it and just said THEY DONT WANT THIS! *throws fifa world cup 2010 out of the window picks up pes* this is what they want!!
Negatives:Glitchy movements,substandard graphics (outdated and player faces lacking again) and above all else no real sense of player individuality or depth.
Ugly presentation ie especially the awkward and messy layout work in career mode.
Game seems to lack character and overal seems like gameplay was a second thought after the coperate in-game advertising.
Meh:
Decent gameplay,but lacks any real connection to proper football/soccer (seems to easy to get teams flowing,ping-pong passing still evident at times).
Good work on arena again,but why so many lack of ideas concerning areas.
Positives:
sound,atmosphere.(the license issue I take for granted now becuase of EA's contacts,wealth).Great ball physics.
Ich würde es cool finden wenn der 4 offizele die auswechslung anzeigt .
