FIFA 11 Reviews

Should be made possible to choose whether your player to heads or volleys a cross. The passing needs to be changed so that when you try a pass to the man next to you there is no chance of accidentally passing it to a guy on the other side of the pitch.
The refs could also be a bit more strict against AI.

1. How about combining yourself with Football Manager and improving your Manager mode. I play fifa but i also have football manager, so i go to football manager for my manager careers. It is way advanced then fifa manager. (it has international careers, morale praising etc)
2. Introducing all the nations in the game. I live in fiji, we spend about 200-300 bucks for the games but there is no Fiji which we get disappointed about. So maybe a system like in fifa 05 in the ps2 version where all the nations are.
3. Making ratings for specific position. eg making piqe 90, messi 90, villa 90....best in that position.
4.la liga vs premier league etc.......
5. adding stats in friendly matches. eg spain vs brazil all time head to head stats. i know that is present in lounge mode but lounge mode is a bit biased so a proper friendly match is not happening there.Or maybe user 1 vs user 2 system.
6. goals from long distance. keeper concentration etc.
7.easy dribbling.

It would be better if we can score from the medle of the field like southafrica

i would like to see my virtual or created player get picked due to his good performance into his national team an actually play in it as they do in the real world. why not include the road the world cup instead of a separate game for this! this would be awsome!!

loved fifa 11, few things that would be ace for fifa 12 would be a more realistic time scale for career mode. If my pro is doing like 3 seasons at Manchester united I would love to see old players retire and new blood be tested obviously nameless generics but it would give the game a great sense of time. loading times need sorting, the soundtrack also, god awful tracks on the last one yeah I can change it but I dont want to spend 10 minutes unchecking tracks. apart from that just more customisation for the be a pro would be ace.

You should include a feature to download your fifa11 ultimate team(s) to your fifa12 ultimate team please

How about adding the Greek Superleague.
Thank you,
Greetings from Greece.

NO HACKERS AND GLITCHES IN ULTIMATE TEAMS PLEASE! The world will be a better place! and make manager mode more realistic with player growth!

What I would like to see is more stadiums, the lag online to be sorted and mainly if the rest of your team is in a VP club match, if you are not in the match, then you should be able to speactate.

Changes for Fifa 12:
- More accurate player growth; guys will lead the league in goals two straight years and not grow a single point.
- More Kit capabilities - ability to change tops and shorts
- Realistic job offers in Manager Mode off season
- Name your transfer price - If a guy isn't selling at 30 million, you should be able to lower what you are asking to 20 million.
- Realistic transfers between cpu controlled teams.
- You should be able to set squads separately for different competitions; for example I should be able to set a roster for league play and a roster for European competition separately and not have to change each game to play youth or back ups.
- Free Kicks should be made slightly easier

don't know if anyones said but there should be a difficulty level between amateur and semi pro because amateur can be too easy and semi pro can be too hard and two player career and maybe bigger writing not as big as big as the pause menu though like the settings menu maybe

The sim is terrible. I was West brom with a 5 star team after 8 seasons and i had to beat leyton orient ( at the time 1/2 star) to get in to the final of the fa cup. I lost 6-0 after simming. Leyton orient shouldn't of been there and to win 5-0 against me is riduclous.

One thing that really irks me is that when playing in the League and FA cup competitions, you have the same fixtures, year after year. I'm sure it's probably an oversight or a glitch of some sort. Example: I'm a Newcastle supporter and i always start off the cup competitions by playing Middlesbrough and, inevitably, the final ends up being Chelsea or Arsenal versus Wigan.
It'd also be nice to have a third kit for every side, not just the better known sides. Or possibly have the opportunity to change the colour of your shorts.
Lastly, it seems that you get called for fouls that are fairly soft but the AI can just about cut you in half with a tackle and not get called, a lot of time in the penalty area.

It would be nice if Sky Sports could co-operate more with EA and FIFA in a similar way ESPN do with NBA and EA. What i mean by this is get some Sky Sports animation team to create the beginning of the game scenes such as Martyn Tyler reading out the line-up and the players appearing..even better when he mentions a certain player try and intergrete it with whats happened during the season for example "Rooney is starting upfront and he is in fine form at the moment with # goals in the last 5 games" etc. as well as this having a better half time experience..such as going to someone else to help highlight the stats, chances, goals etc.

regarding be a pro, i believe their should be more accessible surnames. more choices with boots and do wat pro evo do have an update 3-4 times throughout the year so you can download new boots for FREE.

On the pitch SORT OUT THE PASSING, all this pro passing im expecting xavi, iniesta and messi to pull out passes that would even suprise the game whether their playing with them or against them.. Make each teams style different i want to have to change my formation, my line up , my tactics when im playing Barcelona away ..it should have to mean something but it doesnt

Fifa 12 would be improved if there was more into the game to make it more realistic for example conflicts in the game the player could have the option to fight(optional in game settings non in xbox live) causing him a red card kind of like the NHL (hockey) games, also players should be able to fake fouls by diving (which could be optional to play with like handballs and no n on xbox live in fifa 11) and again risk the chance of getting a card or fooling the reff. Another improvement could be the option to create a team in the game for free play and manager mode (without the creation centre online) along with the squad updates already available in fifa 11 should continue.

Me and my buddies play a lot of 2 Vs 2 fifa.

There should be player ratings and stats for each user at the end of the game.

For example it will show that:

Red completed 30 of 36 passes.
Blue completed 22 of 26 dribbles.
Green completed 3 of 6 crosess.
etc.

This way at the end of a multiplayer (2vs2) it will show who is playing well out of the 4 players and how they can improve.

Add the greek league and Argentinian league and more national teams and also in ranked quickmatch, fix the offside system, and they are goalie errors on crosses, add more animations for different situations.

I think it would be nice to see not only the Orange Ekstraklasa polish league but its 1 league and have the top team be able to advance to Ekstraklasa and the losers of the Ekstraklasa drop to the 1st league. it would be nice to see more competition in those two leagues. the english league, italian league etc. have that option, why not do the same for the polish league. One other thing i would like to see is international competition like world cuo qualifying and world cup itself be able to play your country. and the league at the same time. more cup celebration would be great.

I have a few comments and observations that I think should be considered in the development of FIFA12:
1) when the keeper has the ball the attacking player should be able to get much closer to the goalkeeper and be able to harass and potentially get the ball off the keeper like older versions of FIFA, to make the game play more realistic.
2) when the opponent is taking a free kick you have the ability in FIFA11 to move your defender onto the goal line. Then tyour opponent changes the player taking the free kick and your defender returns to his original position and you have to try and move him to the goal line again, often without success. This is infuriating. Your defender should stay where you place him even if your opponent changes his free kick taker.
3) often, in open play, when tackled by your opponent your player will lose the ball and run around like a headless chicken often away from the actual ball. In real life, the player would react much quicker and be able to get back onto the ball mush quicker.....this needs fixing to make game play more realistic.
4) free kicks need to be made a little easier to score as it can be impossible to score in FIFA11
5) when facing a penalty kick, the goalkeeper invariably is incapable of making a save. The ability to save penalties needs to be improved
6) when taking a long goal kick you are seldom able to make a successful pass to your own player, which is not representative of real life play. This could do with improvement to make it much easier to pass to your own player.
7) the ability to hound or complain to the ref after a decision would be good.....not that I advocate bad sportsmanship in football.....but in reality it happens and it would be good to have this in FIFA12 of course with the ref being able to book or red card serious abusive comment or reaction by a player,
8) the baiity to call a dive in the penalty area with the ref judging a penalty for a foul or a card for dive should be awarded, would again make game play more realistic.
9) having managers standing in the technical area shouting encouragement to the players would be a nice touch too; which could be linked to short term improvements in team play?
10) I also think options for kit would be a good idea.....short/long sleeves, socks up/down.....showing mud on kit after tackles would also be more realistic.
11) goal line play. In real life action we know that some goals go over the line but get disallowed (eg Engalnd in the world cup). It would be more exciting to bring dissallowed goals into FIFA12 for similar reasons or bad ref/lineman decisions to give a little more unpredictability into the game play, maybe as a game play option like the hand ball option.

i am playing football since fifa 07 on xbox 360 and i noticed great improvements but there are stuff more important than boots update ( btw its a must since pes is doing it we want u to be ahead ) so here is my opinion
1- since 2010 adidas and puma made there shirts tight and some players though wears them baggy so tight and baggy shirts option
2- more faces like the kind u did for ( juventus ,lyon,chelsea,arsenal and bordeaux) they were cool and nicley done :)
3- tape options like a meter used to set the hight of the tape ( preference as the player want)
4- i know CL wont be at EA’s hand till 2013 so instead of getting the license of CL make a tourney close to it )
5-better stadium lights we want to see lights from the back and front of the player like in real life
6- mud on boots shirts and shirts like fifa 07(xbox 360)
7-MINIMUM of 6 or 7 dribbling styles for players + famous players personality in dribbling vary from others like ( messi,cristiano ronaldo,kaka,robben,ronaldinho,aaron lennon)
8-more drama when loosing a big match or a derby match finals should be on fire :D
still ill play fifa 12 even if all of these stuff didnt happen KEEP ROCKIN EA and fifa XD

i think be a referee mode should be involved (xbox 360 + ps3)
A(x) for a warning
B(circle) for a red card
Y(triangle) for yellow cad
X(square) for play on
it cud be similar to a be a pro mode, where you start off as a prospect and become a legend.. like you start your refereeing in your country so you start at like league 2 or conference if you guys make it and build your way to premiership and maybe if you gt world cup tournaments you can referee a world cup final
this would be a ‘Revolution’ as ‘David Rutter’ says :) hope you use this cause id use this EVERYDAY :) love you fifa

1. I think you should make the transfer time shorter it takes ages for a week to pass.. And if you are just a player and NOT... a manager why should I see who's getting transferd when I ain't buying players. ?? 2. The so called pro passing is rubbish. I want to pass the ball across the keeper for a tap in. and he gives the ball to the keeper instead but I was holding the direction for the ball to go to my striker but it doesent ?? 3. Can u put blood and cuts bumps bruises real indurys like Eduardo for arsenal 4. and we should have more then 5 traits...... Come on FIFA messi can do all them traits except the goal keeper traits in real life not just five... And boots should be available with out unlocking them.. Hope u will improve the next FIFA and please please put more than 5 traits that's all thank you

ULTIMATE TEAM

UT is so fun yet so boring, I like trading cards but...

Everytime a new cup comes out its exactly the same as the other cups. And you have to either WIN or LOOSE. Its so annoying when AI forces extra time in the last seconds..Id rather draw then play 10 extra mins and loose anyway.

How about adding leagues with 4 or 8 or 16 teams ?? It would mix it up a bit if you could DRAW games too.

Maybe training mode so you can quickly enter an arena to play with and try out new cards ??

Goal celebrations should be done by the computer which is able to recognise if u scored a goal in the last minute to win the game or a long distance goal in the top corner. the celebrations should be done by the computer to a degree.

Free kicks should be improved as it is quite hard to consistently score a goal from 30 yards out.

Penalties however hard where quite good

In manager mode more medals for players whom excel in your team not just the most scored.

Realistic transfers like put price tag on players, player exchange, sign players on loan and player buyout clause

i would like to see the ability to customise kits in manager mode after a season, and to create your manager and you will see a graphic of him shouting at the players, just like in fifa world cup, changing room and tunnel views like pes

i think on carrer mode you work your way up to professional teams
see fifa 12 i think you should get to talk if you loose and if you win.

Fifa 11 was good, but then again it missed a lot of things. For example:
In FIFA WC 2010 you could score different types of goals-goals bouncing off the goal keeper's hand,..ect.
More international teams should be included.
More tournament options: UEFA, CONCACAF GOLD CUP ETC...
More stadiums including indoor stadiums like in FIFA 98.
The handball gig on fifa 11 sucks because if the ball touches the player's hand the ref calls a foul. It should be more realistic.
More realistic grafics. Fifa is good all the way compared to PES but PES has better graffics

Multiplayer Arena ! So just like in real life you try and take each other on and score ! Scores could be kept on a board just like kids do today !

1. Make the passing system more simple. To many passes are going in the wrong place even when I power it up correctly.
2. Remove the perk system. Most players are capable of an over-head kick, they should not need an 'Acrobat' perk. It's really unfair playing against someone online when they have all these players with all these ridicolous traits/perks and im playing with an average team with none.
3. Over-rating players because they play for a good team. e.g. Torres
4. Volleys are awful. Players should be able to hit them much cleaner and accurately. Just look at these goals for proof: Tiote v Arsenal, Rooney v Newcastle
5. When I was playing manager mode I had a 5 star rating and come the end of each season very few teams were offering me jobs. Loads of teams should be offering me jobs including poorer teams.
6. Better celebrations. When I score loads of players will run over to the player that scored, but only one player will properly interact and the rest will just stand the cheering with their fists, they should all interact by being able to do a massive dog pile or something along those lines.
7. Keepers are far to good at collecting crosses. Even if they are up against someone like Peter Crouch they still easily collect the ball. They should struggle and sometimes miss it or get fouled.
8. Better long shots. Players should not have to always take a heavy touch to hit it well.

Please, please, please fix the auto-switching of players in Multiplayer.. lock players already being controlled, especially when crossing the ball.

Add the ability for a player to run to the ball when getting passed to.

and please please please fix the referee's, make them more unambiguous.. meaning call fouls fairly for both teams.

there should be some sort of scouting to tell you which players, especially young players, are worth going after during the transfer period as opposed to searching by parameters or by typing in last names, because the search always comes back too broad, and you miss out on a lot of good young players from around the world

i think the game was overall very good but i would like to see japan and the j league added
into the game they did very well in the world cup and the j league is a very strong league plus after the incident of the earthquake in japan i think it would be very nice to add them and there league in the game. I also believe that the Ukraine league should be in the game having teams in the champions league and being a strong league in themselves. I hope you acknowledge my requests thank you.

THE GAME IS THE WORST IN THE SERIES.

THE AI IS THE WORST IN THE SERIES.

FREE KICKS, GOAL KICKS ARE THE WORST IN THE SERIES. FREE KICKS ARE A PUZZLE, GOAL KICKS GO TO THE OPPOSITION 99% OF THE TIME.

IN CLUB, NOT ONLY IS THE AI TERRIBLE BUT THE (COM/ANY) CONTROLLED PLAYERS ARE TERRIBLE WHICH ADDS UP TO THE MOST FRUSTRATING GAME OF FIFA EVER!!

ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE TOO FRUSTRATING TO COMPLETE. TOO MANY!! ONE WOULD HAVE TO ONLY PLAY FIFA AND NO OTHER GAME TO COMPLETE THEM. THERE SHOULD BE 4 SETS OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS. A SET FOR GOALKEEPER, DEFENDER, MID-FIELDERS AND FORWARDS.

GET RID OF THIS COMPUTER PROGRAM FEEL TO THE GAMEPLAY.

SHOOTING AND BASIC PASSING SKILLS ARE NON EXISTENT TOO MUCH OF THE TIME.

PLAYER GROWTH IS NON EXISTENT IN CAREER WHICH MAKES IT BORING AND BASICALLY POINTLESS


The list could go on and on and on. The game is a disappointment. Get your act together for the next game EA!!

another thing should be an awesome celebration when winning cups and real celebrations like the manager jumping with the players like real and so on and it would be nice if you can see the manager on the touchline and the players warming up and that at the end of the season more clubs will offer you jobs and not only from the same country as your current team .. and even during a quick sim like before you can enter the match at any minute and during a match you can simulate the rest of the match just like before .. even you can loan the players you want not the available for loan only .. More realistic off field manager and be a pro scenes, such as interviews, transfer conference’s (e.g. Torres from Liverpool to Chelsea: Shaking the managers hand and holding the jersey .. Managers reaction to goals and near misses, pushing and shoving for a bad tackle, Fans reactions to goals and bad tackles jumping up and down and hugging each other, waving flags/scarfs etc .. Get the press involved make some interviews and some players dramas like Fifa 08 witht the multiple choice but make it in an interview. and also better pre game hype and post game man of the match awards/interviews, weekly highlights of all the games

so one thing I would like to specify is that fifa doesnt need all that graphics that the players looks like cartoon characters, it has to be more simple and more real in my opinion and there are much things I disliked in fifa 11 and many thing I would like to see in fifa 12. What I disliked in fifa 11 is that many things were removed from the previous year like staff upgrades, scouts searching players and so on .. what I'd like to see in the new fifa is more exciting transfer markets like, when you buy a player it will not be that easy, you'll have other teams trying hard to sign the player like in reality and when you buy a player I really wish that there will be a presentation with the gear and number and so on even a picture only will be good (like there was on pes 2009) another thing that should be added is the staff, like football manager I would like to change staff and so on in the next fifa or even be able to upgrade staff and so on .. I would like to see the youth department again and young players that can become strong players not begin with overall 65 and after 15 years they end at 70, that's another issue I would like to talk about the players develpoment, in past games the development would increase fast after a particular player makes a very good season and his price will rise as well .. maybe another thing that should be added is the official originally licensed uefa champions league, europa league and coppa libertadores cause fifa is loosing it's popularity to PES because of these small items, even the badges on the kits it's not nice to play with leeds in the premier league with tthe championship badge in the arm, badges and different kit colours (such as juventus for example play with the number's background black in the champions league and white in the serie a) all these tiny thing should be arranged by the competitions, even the crownd can be much more realistic and more stadiums and more original balls and boots, more like press conferences and media things which makes it more exciting in my opinion the simpler ea sports works the greater the game will come out, please ea sports bring us the biggest fifa ever back :) thanks very much :)

In fifa 12 the concacaf champions league, copa Libertadores, and the fifa club world cup should be introduced. It gets boring playing in the primera division in mexico when there's only one tournament to participate in.
Player growth should be based on participation and how well they do, some of my players growth goes down even when they play every game and get an average of 8/10 each season.
It should be easier to get a loan on a good player.

you should make a team with all the legends like Maradona, Pele. It would be so cool with an over powered team, that could destroy everyone!

You should have more stadiums in the game,good stadiums like the D.W stadium,Goodison park and Villa park are all being left out.

Add the AFA leagues from Argentina and the Copa Libertadores

Liverpool FIFA 12 Cover

I think that everything I want has been said here apart from the soundtrack. The only good bands on there are gorillaz and 2 door cinema club. Please can u add more popular and more songs from different nations.

Also don't waste ur time on be a ref. It would be better if u just focas on the gameplay

thanks

i think fifa 12 should improve from last fifa cuz wiv fifa 11 u cor do as much which is pretty disappointing i also think they should have carling cup insteed of saying league cup n insteed of saying champions cup it should b uefa champions n also have a europa league competition and update the system have the managers on the touchline n also the winners of the uefa champions n europa legue winners play in the uefa super cup

.Player growth in career mode is apauling! There are always more players who lose points than gain every season, young players don't normally get worse as they age, just because they don't play alot it dosn't mean they should all loose ratings, 10 games a season for a 16 17 year old would be good experience. Player transfers are also unrealistic (barca buying 8 new centre backs who are all over 80 rating? How are they going to get a game). Teams should try and buy players who play in positions they don't have good players in, teams seem to sell good players and fail to purchase a good replacement in that position. When players are put up for loan, smaller teams within your country should be the most popular bidders, not some random turkish team where i don't know if he'll get a game. Players also gain no growth when on loan for me, loaning is only to stop them decreasing their rating as they seem to do it all the time when in the reserves.
. The pitch graphics in south africa were really good and detailed, in fifa 11 only a few stadiums have realistic looking grass, most of the them are just shiny, untextured and have little shading or shadow detail.
. Injured players coming off in stretchers, the most famous managers are shown on the touchline (daglish, fergason, wenger, anchelotti, pep guiardiola(?) etc) subs shown on the bench, more shot types (there is a particular shot which is used over and over again and isn't a very realistic looking one). Better crowd reactions depending on match importance. More leagues and stadiums!!
. More player faces created using the new fifa 11 face technology, not just doing the entire squad of one team including unheard of teenagers and leaving out hundereds of top quality players. Like last year a few big teams should have the entire squad done (Bayern, Inter, Barca, Real, Man U, Liverpool, Milan...) and then a selection of additional cover stars and other quality players. If pes can have 80% of the players having a recognisable face, fifa should!
. Finally, please don't make every shot on assisted controls go 90% of the time straight down the centre. When shooting from long range I have very little sucess as the shots taken are always to close to the keeper (apart from the finese shot which always unrealistically loops in). I try to change it to semi and manual controls but then the shots go well well wide. Volleys are also very rare for me. And why has the free kick system been changed? In fifa 09 i could hit a power freekick up and over the wall, now they have changed it so the main focus of the power shot is to go under the wall (which rarely is done in real life). please bring back the old system!

This game could be soooo good but small things let it down. Hopefully when they said they will be alot of changes they ment it!

one little thing which will add more realism......when a club wins the premier league on career mode the following season they still have the white premier league badges on the arms of thier shirt, mean while chelsea still have the gold ones. I think this will add more relism to the game, picture a team like bolton, or west brom with the gold premier league badges on......something to think about

i think you should add more stadiums such as Man citys stadium and add team entrances such as the tune that is played by chelsea before kick of and the tune that is played for man utd before, during half time and after the match.

I am probably in the minority, but would love to see realistic goal nets for each stadium...
Anfield's nets are different to Stamford Bridge or Old Trafford.. very subtle differences but would add to the authenticity.
Also certain stadiums need to be redesigned as they are not accurate. Some stadiums are tight to the pitch behind the goals but this is not replicated in the game.

Please improve the following or I will be forced to never buy a FIFA game again.

The manager mode player progress is just terrible. Loan players dont improve, and the player ratings are HORRIBLE (I had a player score 2 goals and he gets a 6.8 rating???) EVERY single FIFA game is pseudo-finished, as if EA purposely makes mistakes to solve for next year. There are TOO MANY glitches in the game. They took out several features from previous games (WHY cant you improve coaches and stadium anymore?). And the AI is still awful. If Im not controlling a player, that player will move AWAY from the ball. Attackers will run forward and if I pass it to him, by the time he turns around the opposition defender will intercept it. When the opposition has the ball and I press X (in order to tackle), the computer knows I pushed it and will turn the other way (so it is way too hard to get the ball back sometimes). When the opposition is in front of my box, even pathetic players can run rings around the defense half the time.

These gameplay errors continually occur, so it becomes incredibly irritating to play this game. EA has dissapointed me year after year with games sloppily thrown together to meet a deadline. Then I have to pay 60 dollars for such a poorly made game. Thats just ridiculous. Unfortunately, all EA cares about is money and not the quality of the game. If FIFA 12 is similar to the previous ones, I will start buying PES games.

You need to make the refs less strict! Also you need to have more achievements for 'career mode' and not bring out FUT so early as it didn't give anyone a chance to play any other mode! And it may be just me but I'd rather pay 400 ms points for FUT and have some achievements and better tournaments! And please focus on being able to make your team a lot more organised when defending and bring back training mode!! Other than that I love FIFA!

fifa 11 has really improved because there is more to it like career mode instead of manager mode and you can play as a goalkeeper which is fantastic. you got my ideas for fifa 12 use them wisely
