FIFA 11 Reviews

After one day, I found myself wanting to go back to 10, but there are too many glitches w/ that as well. Ultimately, the game play has really suffered setbacks this year. It's what a soccer game would feel like if it were trying to emulate high school soccer. At times, it seems like a pinball machine, with the ball "unprofessionally" bouncing around and changing possession. I never knew the best of the best in the entire world looked this bad and slow, for a game. First touch is completely mind boggling, unless once again this were a H.S. soccer game. And forget a penalty shootout, for you may throw-up in your mouth. The career mode?! OH! OH! Bloody goodness, are you kidding me?! I do wish the FIFA franchise had better competition, for they would stop going through the motions (it seems), and actually mine the gold that they've landed on. I will definitely be going back, but probably to 09. Here's waiting til next year. :(

The game is a joke. Every year the same rubbish. The truth of the matter is there are too many things wrong with Fifa 11 to write down or even think about. I'd need to write them down, create a list. That in itself is not good enough. EA Canada (I Believe) are the team with the responsibility of producing this game, and that, like the game, is laughable. Canadians running the rule over a football game. Maybe when they produce a good football team they'll have an idea of how the beautiful game should look and play on a console. We are not wrong!! The game is piss poor.!! I played Fifa 94 on the Nintendo, 95-97 on Megadrive, 98 on PS1 and so on up until now.17 years means I'm a loyal hardcore Fifa fan who knows a good Fifa Game. This isnt one!! If I could give these EA Canadian Clowns any advice it would be: DON'T ANNUALLY FILL THE DISC WITH CRAP AT THE EXPENSE OF A GOOD ON FIELD FOOTBALL EXPERIENCE. The Gameplay is everything!! If Pro Evo had the official rights like Fifa has these pages would probably be empty!! Somehow they know something Fifa bigwigs don't, how to get their football game playing right!!!.

Flaws occuring whilst playing 2nd Bundesliga VirtualPro:
- AI aggressively takes on every header and free ball, whereas own players don't care about reaching the ball at all
- Own defenders don't care about marking the forward reaching for the cross
- Own players in possession stupidly run with the ball into opponents and lose ball
- Own wingers don't start running to position themselves for a through ball
- Own forwards "hide" behind or between defenders, but always in close range to them
All these facts made it impossible to win (and killed all fun!) playing only with my VirtualPro, so I started playing the whole team and now I can win games, but there are still heavy flaws:
- It's almost impossible to get through in a one on one situation with a forward against a defender, they almost always (95%) push my forward away and get the ball
- The defender not controlled by me still doesn't care about marking his opponent when a cross is played
- more frequently than it could be accepted the direction of passing in detail (in front of the player- in his back, difference between normal pass and throughball in equal situations) is not corresponding to my input or explainable at all - very frustrating!!
Besides gameplay issues, I found various other details, the most important:
- Game frequently freezes for some seconds
- extensive loading times
- Why are the details for my Virtual Pro in the career-menu hidden under "options"??
- In a cup match, when the players get on the green, the round (1st round, Quarterfinal...) is not stated on the strap, just the name of the cup
- There is no access to a synopsis of my last games while in career mode

It's a great game. but the pc takes too much time to load it. probably my pc's ram.
But, why no career mode? I mean, not every1 has a ps3 or and xbox. And the Virtual Pro's stats dont save at all. I played like a 100 games and his stats are still 0-0-0
Although its awesome

who even is crying about the game play has never played a real game of football before.fifa11 is much more realistic when it comes to the passing and amount of chance creation.now u cant just run and push everyone out of the way with drogba or shoot from anywhere or the field with cr7 and score ,you have to build up play find holes and trigger runs.only problem i have is that the players seem to be ice skating when they run thats kind of weird and when you score a goal there seeems to be no power or passion on the goal its a bit flat.the passing is amazing i can now do pases i would never pull of in fifa10 crzy 1-2s and amazing build ups .overall i think fifa10 is more fun to play but fifa 11 more realistic .people that are having a cry about this game please name another football game tha is better???pes?lol thats wat i though people just love to complain shut up and learn how to play.

Being honest, this game is just terrible. The AI is completely rediculous and passing has now just become a joke. When did the game suddenly decide players have the ball control and first touch skills of a 5 yr old. It amazes me that EA can continue to produce such crap year in year out and that people will happily pay vast amounts of money for it. The tracking system is poor, the pace of the game is poor and somehow the players can get away with anything short of murder. Once again EA, you've managed the same consistency as you do with all your games. Crap. Definitely not worth the money folks.

Exactly the game is a joke. the makers should be ashamed at fifa 11. it sucks. fifa 10 was much better in every single way. it always stays the same each year and theres hardly a change to the game play. all the great footballers such as ronaldo messi rooney are ment to be fast and pacy in the game but they are the opposite.

you should put them player coming out from the bus to tunnel.one more thing your all should put the champions league by itself inside in the pesand makke fifa 11 have some better deadler graphics ............

EA ppl, for christ's sake why the hell is the autosave feature compulsory in FIFA 11?????????????????... u guys better release a patch or something pretty soon....m telling you almost 90 percent of the ppl playing turn off this autosave!!

im really disappointed with this game! fifa 10 and world cup 2010 is so much better with so much more feeling in it..

why fifa 11 sucks

1. the players are to sloooooow! the whole gameplay is to slow.. messi, ronaldo, eto'o (for example) they're all supposed to be fast but how come they're faster with the ball (pressing right anolog forward) than without??? it doesnt make any sense.

2. when i play against the computer on proffessional or even semi-pro, its almost impossible to take the ball from them.and when i intercept, the ball always seem to find its way back to the opponent without me even get the chance to controll the ball.. it would be realistic if it happens sometimes but not ALL THE TIME!! 9 out of 10 times i swear.

3. menus are slow.. everything with this game is slow!

4. so many bugs! i understand that bugs are inevitable, but this game takes the price!
examples, i chose AC Milan, but when i go to squad, all of a sudden im Brazil! WTF!!!!!???????
ronaldinho becomes white, refree starts givin 100 yellow cards, i shot at the crossbar and the ball freezed there for about 10 seconds.offsides when its not supposed to be. its understandable if its a matter of a couple inches (lets call it human mistake of the refree) but im talkin about 5-10 yards onside

5. apparently you can intercept from behind really easy now.

6. the game is sloooow!!! honestly i fall asleep when i play this game, its so boring!

fifa 09 - 8/10
fifa 10 - 9.5/10
world cup 2010 - 9.9/10
fifa 11 - 4/10!

Haha at the person who thinks the AI is realistic as on my game they seem to enjoy running into each other every two minutes and if there not doing that they are just standing around not marking anyone.
This years Fifa is poor especially all the hype:
-Pro Passing does not work as the power bar is tempermental especially with short passes as you just press the button yet it powers it across the box yet a hold it in for a through ball and he just touches it and runs away.
-Be a pro Keeper, good idea poorly produced as you could go away for you tea and still not have had a shot into you.
-AI is so bad its unreal, they never make any runs and when they do they run miles offside. Also in BAP mode they take an age to play a pass opting to do some stepovers while losing the ball.
-The refs are a joke and its impossible to get a flowing game when its a freekick for nothing and you get booked so easily yet you could go flying into a slide challenge from behind and get away with nothing.
-The personality traits are also poor as there predictable and i dont think they add anything apart from a wee sentance explaining he is a good dribbler also nearly every tall player has strenth and good aerial ability which is just lazy although thats wha i expect with Fifa.
-The menus are far too slow with anything especially online when you get timed it takes around 10 seconds to get into the team management then you dont have alot of time to change things. I dislike PES but atleast there menus are usable.
-The game seems to have a point in the pitch where if you pass it the computer defender become superman and can outpace, outstrenth and can time a perfect tackle everytime nomatter who they are or are up against making it impossible.

I struggle to find any improvements in the game and again the only passable feature is the BAP clubs and even then EA servers are dire. A think PES is going to get the upper hand again as Fifa are getting worse.

fifa is once again weighted towards 1 trick real madrid/ chelsea face rolling tards , just played with man city and once again its like watchin 5 years olds chase the ball...
how many times can i tackle and it "bounce" back to there players... 8 shot on goal 1 scored where as real 1 shot 1 goal......i could go on but i cant be arsed WP EA

The game is so much better than last year's version. Passing is better, the al is better and is much more realistic except for commentary more bores me to sleep.

There are some good points about fifa 11. like the heading, crosses, takling and the overall layout (except you cant go back when team line up is being displayed). But i feel the AI is a joke. i was aarron Lennon for tottenham and he couldnt run passed any of the bolton defence which is completeley unrealistic. On Be A Pro your temas AI is shocking they dont do anything. the only person who seems capable of scoriing is my VP. the defence are too good. The through balls and arial through balls that I used to love a rubbish as the AI defence seem to intercept each one. Players on your tema dont make any runs and the opposing team seem to score every chance they get.
I enjoy playing it but it hasnt really progressed much from fifa 10. if anything it has got worse.
Great Graphics though.

There is one thing that has come to my attention and that has to do with the transfer system in manager mode. You cannot get players on loan. But you can easily loan out as many players as you like. What if I just wanted a player for 3 months to fill in. No, you have to buy him. You also cant scout players anymore. In fifa 10 I scouted quite a few good players when it wasnt the transfer system. If these features were put back in to Fifa 11, it would be better. The rest of the manger mode is really good.

the passing is ok, it does take some getting used and you can pull off some great passes with manual control but not enough to outweigh the bad on this one. maybe if my team mates made a run now and then??? the AI is woeful, especially in "be a pro", like another commenter said, the back 4 knock it around and try a skill move before running straight into the opposition at half way, meanwhile im sitting on my a$$ on the edge of the box. The menus are tedious, time to go back to basics EA. it's looks pretty, but runs like a dog, i just want to play my game! the calendar wait times are terrible and why oh why do i need to confirm my side and shirt colour for EVERY game and the only time i might want to go back - when the team lineups are displayed - i cant!!! in my rush to get to the bloody game i selected control my pro not control all (because of the aforementioned AI silliness in be a pro) but no, it seems the lineup screen is the point of no return. I still have to confirm which game i want to load 15 times, it takes forever just to advance after a game has finished.
I get the "build up" play idea but its just not fun anymore. Im trading my copy in tomorrow, just a shame i waited this long.

oh, also the collisions are just humorous and why, when streaming into the box 3 feet ahead of the last man, does Ronaldo seemingly slow down to wait for the defender and reach out to hold his hand?? and then because of the “pressure”, cant get a clean shot off?

personally, i think fifa 11 is much better than fifa 11 with the new version , its more realistic than fifa 10 and its brill. who ever dosent like it then you should just give up on football games!

some aspects of fifa 11 took some small steps forward but fifa 11 also took a few giant steps backwards..the transfer window is kinda fun now and the aerial game has improved. however, the passing is down right ridiculous and my wingers wont make an overlapping run to save their life and 1 more thing why did accleration and sprint speed get the shaft this year? ronaldo should outrun nesta on a bad day...just sayin

all you guys are saying that the game sucks. but there are a few good spots in the game. but maybe you guys suck at the game because im playing world class level and score goals and my passing is good and it doesn't always get intercepted.... but mabye im just better than you guys... lol

This game is so unreal its a joke. The computer defence is never out of position yet when the computer is controlling my defence they pull them about all over the place and they dont even track a runner and allow him to have a free run into the box. Also the full backs never tuck in and usually run away from the box which is so bad its almost laughable until the computer score the most clinical goal with their first chance. The more games you play you wonder if EA actually test there games and this game is enough to turn anyone back to Pro Ev. The only good thing about this game is be a pro online clubs altho the only improvement has been you can change you stadium. The game is terrible and i doubt i will playing it again or any fifas for that matter just a shame pro ev is crap too.

why is fifa 11 so rubbish?? Because it is completely unrealistic. there are no players in the world that can constantly read every ball that is ever played you can even pass the ball around the midfield without other players picking out every single pass. Plus you can oncassionally make a through ball. Plus how difficult are penalties to score its rediculous even when you are playing with better players. i for one will no longer be playing fifa 11 and sticking with the much better version of the game FIFA 10.

Where to start, the game is a joke. The be a pro career is terrible as the the AI seem to only pass it about the back 4 or try a skill move at the halfway line before getting tackled meaning you need to do everything yourself which is no fun and frustrating especially as the opposing computer players play it around with ease. The other annoying thing is you cant outpace a centre back when running through on goal no matter who it is as my VP at 5,2 has 95 sprint speed yet could not outpace zat knight as he magically transformed to usain bolt covering the ground it seconds before tackling me whats the point in speed if the computer act like that. Also as some1 else has pointed out the amount of interceptions is unreal and it must amount to atleast 30 a game as they cut out perfect through balls as they somehow predict where its going before its left my foot. The be a pro Goalie is also poor as you only have to deal with a maxium 2 shots a game and to make it a challenge a went Inverness Caley Thistle against Real Madrid a complete mix match yet Inverness completely outplayed Madrid which is a complete joke and again shows how bad this game is. Overall the game represents nothing like real football and it seems to have gone back from fifa 10.

Alright here goes.

I am perfectly happy with the game (full version) UNTIL I crank up the difficulty level to world class +. What on earth were you thinking when developing the AI for this game? It is absolutely PATHETIC that every 1 and a half passes the ball is being intercepted even though the pass itself is flawless. SHOW me a real life football game where interceptions happen as often as in this game! (and not just one example) Defenders always domme my strikers even though my VirtualPro (hereafter VP) has a rating of 88 overall by now. It simply feels that where as the opponent AI increases with higher difficulty (which is to be expected and absolutely alright) my team dumbs down a fair bit. Meaning passes become ridiculously stupid and slow, no runs are being made or runs are being made when there is absolutely no use to even bother because even a blind person could see my striker run in offside.

Secondly, what on earth happened to the game flow? Counter Attack play is way to slow and in 90% of scenarios the defenders will either outrun, outfight, outplay or outtackle me regardless of how well I time skill moves and/or plays/shots. I am not saying I am the greatest FIFA 11 player there is but for the love of god I would play better than that in real life.

Thirdly,

Runs in general are pathetic. One or 2 decent position plays made by my team's AI controlled players are offset by 20 retarded moves, passes and/or runs. Yes you read correctly...RETARDED. When playing a football simulation that claims itself to be the closest thing to the real deal (and I have played football since I am 6 years old now 26 so that makes 20 years) I expect my team AI to be smarter than myself in terms of positioning, holding the opponent off, making runs etc.

Fourthly,

Why did you not just expand on the mainly great job you did with the World Cup Edition? Why take the game backwards in terms of development? Yes graphics have been polished, yes movement have been polished, yes it does look great but it LACKS DEPTH!

Overall,

if I were to give the game a rating where 1 is the worst and 10 the best I would unfortunately not be able to give it more than a 5 ( and that's on a good day).

You had so much promised delivered in retrospect to WC 2010 and yet failed to expand on those advances and rather included a "Be a Keeper" mode that whilst being refreshing to play every now and then BORES the hell out of me especially when one of the VP achievements requires me to play an entire season as one.

I really do wonder if anybody responsible for game developing etc actually finds these type of pages and really reads them. If not well create a new job I am more than happy to read all of them and compile what people say in an orderly fashion.

But seriously guys if you don't get decent updates out there and finally really make improvements with FIFA 12 than you won't just lose me as a paying customer but many many more as I have searched the net for negative feedback and it seems a lot of folks agree with me despite your increased sales for FIFA 11.

I love FIfa11.
I think they've improved immensely in just one year. The game just keeps getting better and better.
If you have a virtual pro and are looking for a team, send a request to sign to : Arcadian FC

Thanks

Can we have the ability to disable the autosave? Why the developers need to remove the function? there is no liability for them to enable the owners to enjoy which game to save and which game not to, is there? Would appreciate if the developers have a patch on this

Why is there no international call up in a 15 year career mode. It makes no sense. Why shine for your club and not be able to on the biggest stage ever The World Cup. If you guys package that as an update later it had better be free unless your gonna piss a lot of people off me included. You guys made a great step by increasing the length of the career but by removing that aspect it just sucks. I have already played through 2 years and no call up. Really guys good show but for Godssake 2 steps forward and not one back. Fifa 10 was good but you took away instead of building upon it. Furthermore please add simulation to matches in career mode so you don't have to play throgh each match. Some of us do enjoy the game but don't to have to play it forever. All in all good job though annoying at first but once repracticed awesome. Cheers.

100+ matches now on Pro - Legendary levels and.....
basically, tackling has become too easy! waaaay too easy. Not just for defenders but most players. Almost impossible to hold up or protect the ball, or dibble\turn with any enjoyment. I now play with only 2 defenders as just dont need any more!! spend every game camped in opposition half trying to break them down, defending the odd counter attack, with ease. think i conceded about 6 goals in first 2 seasons. whats the point in that? not exactly banging them in at the other end despite dominating possesion and chances. if i see 1-0 one more time....! :(

All other aspects are great but this just overshadows all the positives. Sorely dissapointed, still way better than PES this year again but think i'll go back to Fifa 10, which on balance, became too easy. regular 7-0's shouldnt happen on legendary level but at least it was fun times.... need to find the middle ground!

The game is really good, the new passing system is harder but practice makes perfect, shooting is also a little harder with players with less skills but thats only normal, online is still laggy at times which can be very annoying and when you smashing someone they leave after its 3-0. Transfers are a lot more realistic except player swaps would make it even better, along with injuries have improved, the players are no longer out for just one game with something pathetic when they take a big hit. But overall it is awesome, far better than PES and still plenty room for improvement.

Best Football Game since PES5/6 years...

All those complaining need to get into ArenaTraining Mode n practice...

press select during Arena and practice more n more n more...

completely disappointed with fifa 11. I have owned many versions of fifa year to year and this one is the most disappointing. THE BEST Fifa game I ever played was Fifa World Cup 2010 South Africa. I was expecting something EVEN BETTER after EA did the World Cup 2010 version which was realistic, controls were on point, passing was on point, shooting was easy and amazing to manage, etc. But FIFA 11 looks like a complete MESSED UP version of Fifa 2010 and FIFA 2009. It looks like FIFA 11 is really FIFA 08 or something b/c it is steps BEHIND any of the other FIFA games. They need to look back at FIFA 2010 World CUP and go from there. I'm never buying a FIFA game after this, im checking out PES 2011.


PLUS PES 2011 is gonna be MUCH better this year. WHY? b/c they are reaching a whole NEW MARKET. They are including the 2nd best club tournament in the world with the HIGHEST reputation in the Americas, the COPA LIBERTADORES. Every south american is gonna drop the fifa 11 this year and play PES 2011. Include me in that list.

fifa 10 is so like to me, i always play this game in world class option as well as Gkeeper world class, but i think this is not perfect quality for world class as i think.because i beat about every team any how. 90% my winning rate.i beat valencia 7-0 goal by barca,i do this more and more in world class option,one of the most funny scene of this game is when i go forward to keeper then keeper come forward to me chase me and this so easier to me. although very few time i losser,i want more and more harder option in fifa 10 than world class in next edition fifa 11, or world class modified by most powerful mode.i want most hard contest in this game next edition.And i think more dribbling tactis could be add in pc keyboard keyword so easier movement.And i extremly hope and want that world cup and Uefa cup add this game in next edition.after all this game is so good. But i think some edition missing in this game. I hope that next version of fifa 10 is so better and harder and so realistic attitude than previous version. My comment may be some beneficent contribute help to you for this next edition . Best of luck .Thank you.

i extremly like this game, i hope that fifa 11 is more and more harder and more realistic than previous version. I think power of world class and leagened playing mode is not quite enough .i think next version is more and more power ful than previous version .and world cup and uefa cup might add this game.

I personaly like this game, the 'worse' passing system makes it harder (on FIFA 10 I beat Liverpool 6-1 on leganday with Accrinton) and transfers are far more realistic. Although there is on thing in particular that miffed me off, that is that Birmingham are the best team, hleb is an amazing mid and in 4-3-3 formations with wide wingers they are unstopable I have played 2 seasons and in both they fineshed second pureley because of zigic, the ai has only ever scored headers against me darbishire and jerome just run and cross an zigic constantly scores I seen s match where they beat arsenal 4-0 and I was like WTF

... the player A.I is also terrible, players never seem to make a run for a through pass which is annoying, possession changes hands too quickly, crossing the ball isnt as good as fifa 10, passes never go where you want them to and if you tap A lightly for a short pass sometimes the ball rolls straight past the player you intended the pass to go to and the opposition ends up intercepting. also if you are going in for a 50/50 situation and you wana pass it to the nearest player, for some reason the ball is played to the furthest player even if you just tap the pass button lightly for a short pass, basically the passing is terrible and the ball never goes where you want it to even with the assists on. the reactions of the players is way to slow, even if you put the game play speed on fast it makes no difference. they are slow to react when you wana pass, shoot, turn, run to a lose ball. the manager mode is rubbish now cos loads of little things have been removed such as changing the ticket prices. and for some reason you have to wait like 5 minutes inbetween each weekly match just so it can sim some random stuff that you arent really bothered about and you HAVE to sit and watch it. also there are loads of bugs in the game such as teams wearing the wrong kits. i played someone on xbox live who was chelsea but they were wearing man uniteds kit and i didnt know why, so im sure theres something wrong there. fifa world cup was good, they should have just improved on that but its like they went back a step... or 25 in this case. id only buy this game if you were a hardcore football / fifa fan.

FIFA 11 is a terrible game. The passing is awful, it's hard to dribble around players and for some reason, defenders such as Vidic are able to keep up with the likes of Messi and Ronaldo which i think is stupid. It's easy to get tackled and to string together more than 5 or 6 passes is near on impossible unless you are simply passing around the back 4.

best football game ever, people they don't like the game and saying passing Rubbish sure they don't know football its all about build up.

very happy to have FIFA 11

FIFA 11 is rubbish!!!!!!!!! The game has better graphics but its like a bunch of 4 yr old trying to get their passing together. Dont buy it.

im actually pretty suprised to see how fifa pulled it off. I like the way that career mode works but im disappointed with the sudden change of boots becouse in the demo there were good boots but i expected them to be there still with the other new boots but instead i cant see how you can do such a thing like that. By The Way really good

The player movement looks worse than FIFA 10. Within the first 30 seconds of playing my first game, I was like "Why is my player all hunched over and limping along like a hobbled crab?

"Be a Pro"

* Better now a player's career is longer than 4 years, like in FIFA 10 (Duh! what genuis decided that when they made FIFA 10!)

* However, they've now merged "Be a pro - Player" mode into the Manager and Player Manager Modes. - i.e. you have sit to wait for each individual day to CRAWL past (whilst it sims player transfer, results, and a ton of other piddling minutiae I couldn't give a toss about, in the background. End result? up to FIVE minutes before I can go from finishing a game one week, to playing the next weeks game!! HOW CAN YOU BE SO STUPID EA!!?? DID YOU UNDERTAKE ANY PLAY TESTING AT ALL!? - I highly doubt it.

Even worse - If your Pro gets injured for a long period, you have to sit there waiting for EACH INDIVIDUAL DAY to CRAWWWL past, Then "Sim" the games you can't play in because you're injured (Which takes aaaages, unlike FIFA 10). ARE YOU TRYING TO PUNISH YOUR LOYAL FANS AND CREATE A PAINFUL AN EXPERIENCE AS POSSIBLE EA!? IF so, mission accomplished

If you'd left the Pro (player) experience exactly as it was in FIFA 10, but just extended the length of career to what it should have been in the first place, it would have been great.

Instead, it is such a horridly painful & frustrating experience, that I've already given up trying to play this mode in FIFA 11, after just 6 "Career" games! EA, do you understand an average league season is 40+ games a year? More if you include Cup games, European competition games, International games, etc, etc!? Did you not think how incredibly tedious it would become for the person playing the game to have to wait at least 5 mins for EACH GAME throughout a FIFTEEN YEAR CAREER!!!!

PS: Yes, penalties in this suck. Shooting for goal is quite a bit more realistic, at least, a lot less frustrating and not as embarrassingly bad as FIFA 10. Too much topspin on the ball when you shoot straight at goal with your instep though.

I like the gameplay additions. I personally think this game plays more like a sim. I like the swerving of the ball on shots and I am delighted with the amount of things to do online and offline. There is not the same elation of scoring a goal as there is on PES, but FIFA makes up for it elsewhere. Passing is refined and enjoyable, plus the slide tackles are great!
On the other hand, possession changes FAR too quickly, it is difficult to keep the ball at the best of times. This I do not understand, because EA were boasting about how you'd have to build up play to score. Long balls are far more effective.
Overall though, a better-looking, more refined game than FIFA 10. Worth buying if you want the updates on kits, teams etc. However, don't buy if you're not that into football. Lastly, for more skilled players, I suggest moving your settings onto all manual for a greater challenge; the game plays better like this.

FIFA 11 disappointed me.
Its game play isn't even better than FIFA 10. AI sucks, AI players can not score empty goal, and in one on one situation they are horrible.
Player slip, passing is not good, I can not finish more than four passes in a row. Dribbling is very hard, no freedom of playing at all.

Well,
Player visuals = Good
Celebrations = Better then Fifa 10.
Game play = Rubbish
Passing = Rubbish

The game play lets down a very nice looking game, the demo played very goo but the full game seems toned down compared to the Demo.

FIFA 10 is way better, wat a bad game im sickend.

Great game. I personally enjoy the 'Strike for goal' on Fifa 10 rather than Fifa 11, On Fifa 11 it looks like its barely getting any power behind it. It looks like an arcade game. Penalty kicks are horrible, they were better on Fifa 10. Passing the ball is awesome!! I enjoy being able to control it rather than 'ping-ponging' it down the pitch.

I also enjoy the fact that u have to submit a transfer fee to the team, then depending on whether or not they accept it you get to negotiate with the player. So much more realistic than Fifa 10 in that aspect. Overall, great game. An improvment over Fifa 10.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH (MR T) this games passing is dreadful and sloooooowwwww omg its like the ball takes forever to come down even on a low cross or ground pass the ball floats the players also float like they go for a jump and take forever to get down. Link up play is a disaster, one-two passes are impossible, sprinting is awful! walcott can't even get past a french league 2 fullback...its like something is pulling him back or he's running against the wind or something...or running in slow motion im disappointed in this game very disappointed. this is actually the worst fifa gameplay and passing wise. i think they over tweaked the passing system so much so that even when the so called ping pong passing was there it was more realistic now its just dreadful while performing skills on the ball s very difficult. Manager mode is very much improved and im impressed with that but thats how far ive gone with the game and so far ill rate this game 4/10 game and thats me being generous...its a disaster. Gameplay wise the fifa world cup 10 game was the ebst they should have just left it that way and add all the other things they did to fifa 11. to be honest i was very surprised to hear some people say the old passing was ping pong like i honestly didnt see a problem with it especially in the world cup game i was sso impressed with the passing and ball pysiology of the game that i literally said it would be very hard to beat and it was true. THE NEW FIFA 11 IS SLOOOOOOWW AND I HOPE EA READS THIS BCUS NOW THEYRE GONNA MAKE ME GO BACK TO PES AND I HAVENT PLAYED PES SINCE 2002 AND I SAID ILL NEVER GO BACK BUT NOW ONCE IM DONE TYPING THIS IM GONNA HAVE TO GO PICK IT UP CUS FIFA 11 IS JUST UNPLAYABLE TOOOOOO SLOWWWWW I ALMOST CRIED!

do you only start with 5 teams on the full game

Looks like Kochey! Players slip!

And what the matter with the ball protection. It was ok in FIFA10. Now it looks like nothing! I konow british players are note very skillfull and not using sole a lot but...

The last thing i have to say is that PES has the Libertadores cup. Not FIFA... shame. And most of all, you make brazilian teams and players playin there very weak. Look at the intercontinental cups and you'll see if they suck so much... Shame again.

everyone who is missing penalties never played FIFA with MANUAL settings on before. srsly, not that difficult.
few menu irritations.
fantastic gameplay on MANUAL. reminiscent of old PES games.
EXCELLENT WORK BY EA SPORTS.but u better step it up even more fore 2012.
shout out to all sydney fc fans.

passing is so realistic, personality + is fantastic, player ratings are good, graphics are excellent, the new animations and celebrations are brilliant, new shooting system is great, penalties like WC2010 are good but hard to master at first, but THERE IS NO ATMOSPHERE IN THE STADIUMS!
hopefully this will be fixed by the custom crowd chants they have brought it

PES SUCKS BALLS

fifa11 is the same as fifa 10 except the penalty kick wich is so bad. tell me why i should buy the new fifa game if you are not fixing that penalty problem

Can you please put Plenaly shoot out mode for fifa 11 and for kick off can we customise how many people we can but on fifa 11 such as 1 on 1 or 2 on2 because 11 vs 11 is getting kind of boring so can we have them two options please
