Share your feedback, comments and reviews for FIFA 11.
FIFA 11 was released on September 28th. FIFA 10, the previous version of the game received over 16,000 ideas from gamers via FIFPlay.com.
Here we invite you to give your feedback, comments and reviews for FIFA 11, to share it with other FIFA gamers and the FIFA developers themselves at EA!
I want to create kits!!
Loved FIFA 11! I felt the game play from the AI was a tad unrealistic at times when suddenly players perform piroettes or when the ball is crossed into the box, in real games the defenders put it out but in FIFA they are able to turn and volley the ball away in one movement.
For FIFA 12 I would like to see them bring back managers like the World Cup game and maybe have different sets of commentators to avoid repetition. Also I know everyone would love the Argentine league and the Copa LIbertadores. Then you can have the World Club Cup in career mode.
My friends and I run a bi yearly tournament utilizing the lounge mode. We do a draft at the beginning of each term and make trades throughout the season. At the end of the year (a week before the new comes out) the winners from each term play each other to determine the champion.
We would like the ability to conduct the draft/trades within the lounge and not have it be effected by roster updates or changes in the regular game.
In addition we keep stats such as Goals per player, clean sheets per keeper, wins by penalties and Man of the Match. Since the game does not have the capabilities of capturing these stats we keep an Xls spreadsheet where we update the stats after every game. It would be great if the lounge mode kept all of the stats for us.
Can the lounge mode be brought online as well?
when you get subbed on on be a pro they should show you warming up and the manger shouts out you saying warm up etc etc that would be sick !!!
Why is it impossible to scor in the 90th minute exactly? The 91st and + u can but evry1 i no all say the same……. Fifa should change players haircuts monthly(as they change them) like rooneys recent transplant. In fifa 12 you should be able to loan anybody rather than whos on the loan list.
Fifa 10 was good so was 09,08 and 07. Pes2011 is much better this year. I think they should seripusly read some of our reviews
This is by far the best Fifa yet having played the series since its inception. I would like to see a greater variety of other european sides in the ‘rest of the world’ section. Teams like Red Star Belgrade, Dynamo Kiev, Steau Bucharest etc, do not figure in the game, but figure significantly in the european game. The introduction of the Russian league for example, was a big improvement in this area. As for gameplay, I would like to see the weather play a greater impact, with the pitch wearing during the game, particularly if it’s raining, the players kits getting dirtier as well (this did appear in a previous version). I also feel that I don’t have enough time on the ball as I’m closed down immediately I gain possession and hardly get to touch the ball before having to either release or lose it. Real football may start like that (in England anyway), but it’s not played at 100 miles an hour for 90 minutes across the globe. Again a greater emphasis on player fatigue and injuries may help to reduce this as the game goes on. Finally, please get rid of the current penalty system, the graphics and sense of tension are fantastic, but the system isn’t user friendly.
Sort out people quitting in online gameplay
Manager mode ideas :
What i missed in fifa 11 manager mode was the talentscout
like in fifa 10 .
Or instead of a talentscout you have an own soccerschool with your own youth players and your assistant coach tell you who you should give a chance .
Another thing was that talents often need to long to become better , like in 1 season they got just 1 or two points better even though they played very well ( most of them were often player of the game ) .
A lot of talents were way to expensive .
another good thing would be that you can change players with another team ,
for example : Bayern Munich want to buy van der wiel and offer pranjic + 10 million Euro , Pranjic + Altintop or just Pranjic .
Or when you just rent a player for a season , you have an option for buying him after the season . .
Please Please Please include the Blue Square Premiership in this version.
Thats all i ask.
Thanks.
on fifa 12 ultimate team there should be a huge tournament which people sign up for then and there should be a 100k for 1st prize 50k 2nd 25k semi 10k 4 quarters and players have a limit to play their game
1. Scouting should be brought back into the career modes, like in fifa 10, also a youth academy would be nice, so that younger scouted players can still develop slowly even though missing 1st team, sub or reserve places, to make the game that step more realisic. 2. Bring in the Blue square premier into fifa 12, mainly because there are some great teams that are in some big town e.g. Grimsby town, York ect, i honestly think if this is done fifa 12 will have its possibilities widened adding an even bigger fan basis and giving ppl who play manager mode using teams in, Div 2 something to fear of non league football.
Celebrations are shocking, they need to be better like wen you score a cup final goal or a really important goal then you can sprint to the sideline and get bundled on by all you players and the subs.
Include subs warming up
When you win a trophy have a proper trophy presentation
Beter player growth
Scouting
Manage international teams
CREATE A STADIUM AND KITS (and realistic finances for these things as well)
Better intro’s to matches like cup finals and stuff and stadium music and players warming up etc.
i think that fifa should have a 5-aside option, where you could play some matches that was like fifa street
Flair moves
The ability to hold L2 + …….
O = Skill shot e.g bicycles and volleys instead of headers.
X = Skilled passing e.g back heeling and curved passes.
[] = Skilled cross e.g rabona (I think it’s called)
Players could have statistics which would make them better or worse than other players, a higher flair skill would meen more accurately placed moves and make them generally better and a lower would obviously make them more unaccurate and less reliable.
Thanks hope you like the idea.
What would add more depth to the game is in the career mode. After you choose a club to play on and pick your nationality, after 4 years there should be the world cup tourny. After just starting to play fifa for the first time, i enjoyed the career mode but not being able to play for my national team was very disappointing and actually discouraged me from playing the career mode completely. So ADD THE WORLD CUP TOURNAMENT EVERY FOUR YEARS!!!! SIMPLE
i think the game is just a joke online really winding me up it does to many daft mistakes that leads to the opponent winning like players falling over each other in defence stuff like that and much more is wrong and silly needs good improvement i hate laggers they should sort their heads out
I have to say FIFA 11 better than PES 2011.. Why ? Here is the factors :
– PES 2011 has a different view cameras, FIFA has better.
– FIFA have all patch of the team untill the division 1 or 2 in all league
– Skill demonstration before the game was absolutely fantastic
– The movement of the players is better than PES 2011 (They looks real football : passing, movement, passion)
Here is the minus from FIFA 11 :
– Cannot re-style the hair of the players
– During the competition or cup, if player any modified (booth), it doesnt effect.. It follow the situation like we before beginnining the tournament or cup
– Not have Champions league (like PES)
– Master league in PES are more interesting to play… FIFA must have the competition like that…
OVeralll Rate : FIFA 2011 : 9, PES : 7,5
Ideas for FIFA 12
1. Wider variety of national teams. Sad not to see Wales, Ivory Coast, Japan, etc.
2. Better cut scenes. From substitutions to injuries to promotion clinching victories. Especially the celebration scenes, the scenes themselves aren’t terrible but the commentators are usually oblivious to the fact that I’ve just won the Premier League.
3. Scouting system from FIFA 10 should return. The whole re-gen thing is kind of weak. Especially since it seems like everyone plays until they’re 40 years old (most goalies play until they’re 42-44 as well…really?)
4. Transfers
4a) More emphasis on the transfer periods. Have a table showing all the transfers that have occurred, like FIFA 10 had instead of just randomly showing 3 transfers on the calendar and news updates.
4b) Say Everton decides they need a GK. Okay, fine. They put bids in for Almunia, Carson and Doni. Then they end up signing all 3 on the same day. Makes no sense. If a team has 3 bids accepted, don’t make them sign all 3. This happens way too often.
4c) Please make a setting where I can turn off transfers before the season starts. When I download the updated rosters to begin my career mode I want to play with those rosters at least until the winter transfer window. I don’t want to download the updated rosters just to see Arsenal sell Vermaelen or Liverpool sell Kuyt before the season even starts.
5. Love that the handball was added this year. Only problem is it’s called ALL the time. If there is a way to make the refs understand ball to hand and hand to ball it’d be great. I can’t help it if the animation makes the ball hit my guys arm while it’s tucked into his side in the box.
6. For the love of God don’t do Be A Ref mode. That’ll take up countless space that is pretty pointless.
7. Be A Pro
7a) Bring back playing for the national team. That was fun trying to break into the squad and it provided a break from the grind that is the club season.
7b) Allow players to be just a CM. I don’t want to be a box to box CAM or CDM, just a plain old CM.
7c) Have secondary positions. If I’m a LM who happens to be pretty good defensively let me put a secondary position to LWB, give my manager more options.
8. Have more injuries. I’m not talking career ending or season ending even, it just seems like in real life teams are always contending with a couple of small injuries here or there and in FIFA 11 I can simulate 4 seasons and not see one injury. Especially weird considering you have a trait called Injury Prone. I play with Arsenal pretty frequently and I’ve never seen van Persie get hurt and miss any games. (if only that were the case…)
9. In order to help the player movement between teams and players becoming unhappy at clubs I propose a new way to sign players. When you sign a player to a contract, not only do you offer him a weekly salary, a bonus and a number of years, but offer him a role at the club. The roles could be similar to the roles you attain in Be A Pro. Reserve player, Fringe Player, Spot Starter/Super Sub, Starting 11, Key Player and Captain. Let’s say Berbatov is signed as a starting 11 player, but now the club have Rooney (Key Player) and Hernandez (signed as a super sub but getting all the starts), well Berbatov is playing less than his role suggests and he loses morale and requests a transfer.
10. I don’t get how growth works in FIFA 11. At least in FIFA 10 you could see progress being made, in FIFA 11 it seems really random. PS- I’m tired of seeing messages from my assistants telling me “a player has great potential, why don’t I play him?” when I start him every game but have to rest him once because I have 3 games in one week.
11. In career mode, the manager prestige has got to mean something. I like being able to start as any club, but an example; I managed 3 seasons at Sporting CP in Portugal. I won 2 league titles, 1 Portuguese cup and in my final season I won the Euro League. That’s pretty impressive. Job offers at the end of the season? FC Porto, Benfica and Tenerife (Spain)…Yeah, Porto and Benfica are going sideways at best and Tenerife is a step down. Porto won the Europa League this season and their young manager is being touted up as the new Chelsea boss. If nothing else at least let me target which country I would like to coach in. If I leave Celtic and want to coach in England let me target England so I only get 2 or 3 offers from clubs in England.
Another thing to fix here is in career mode when I look at my career and it shows League titles, Domestic Cups and Continental Cups, the only number that ever changes for me is League titles. I won a treble with Arsenal and it showed League titles 1, Domestic Cups 0, Continental Cups 0. It’d be cool to see how my trophies I’ve actually won in my career.
12. Please fix the bug that makes career mode crash if I change my custom formation outside of career mode. Ex) My saved formation 1 is a 4-4-2 and I have my career mode team set to that custom formation. While I’m playing online I decide to tweak it to become a 4-2-4. Well when I go back to play my career mode I all of a sudden have nameless players in my starting 11 whose overall ratings are usually 331257 or something crazy, and the career mode cannot progress.
13. Have real stadium packages available to buy through xbox live or PSN or whatever. I know getting the licenses or putting the work into modifying each and every stadium can be tedious, which is why that is one of the things I would gladly pay for. In England for example you already have Emirates, Anfield, Stamford Bridge, Old Trafford and St. James Park. If you make the other 15 stadiums and make it DLC I would definitely pay for that. Or the MLS or nPower championship teams. The stadium authenticity makes a HUGE difference in realistic game play.
14. Promotion/Relegation
14a) When a team changes division, the patches should change as well. It’s lame working Charlton Athletic up from League 1 to the Premier League only to see the League 1 patch (which seems giant by the way) on our sleeves.
14b) Occasionally a big team goes down (biggest I’ve seen is Sevilla be relegated!) but even when teams like West Ham or Birmingham go down, have other teams, especially those who’ve just been promoted scavenge and try to take their best players. West Ham was relegated this season, you think Parker, Green, Ba, Cole, Upson are all going to be there? No, but if West Ham are relegated in the game they keep everyone and come straight back up with 115 points.
14c) The “Other Leagues” news showing standings in other countries is really really flawed. One week Barcelona are 15 points clear at the top with 75 points, the next week Real Madrid are leading the division with 67 and Barca have 64…what?? They just lost 11 points and are now not in first place?
15) In the standings portion of your news, show the European qualifying spots. Make the Champions League qualifiers show up in green, the Europa league qualifiers show up in blue and the relegation clubs red. And find a way to solidify the transfer from one season to the next. Ex) Liverpool finished 9th place in my EPL season, next year they’re in the Europa League. Not even just in the qualifying stage, IN THE GROUP STAGE. They didn’t win any cups to qualify that way either.
16) Have a way to start with your club in the Champions League. I wouldn’t mind taking 10 mins at the start of my career to pick 32 teams for the Champions League and 48 teams for the Europa League. Give me a set number I can choose from each league and let me go. Pick 4 teams from EPL, done, 4 teams from Spain, done, 3 teams from Italy, done, 2 teams from Portugal, done. Really easy, like creating a custom tournament.
17) Add a couple of leagues. I liked the addition of Russia this year. I’d really like to see Greece, but I know a lot of other people want to see Japan, Ukraine, etc. I’d prefer to see top tier leagues added before adding Scottish First Division or Liga de Ascenso (MEX).
18) Have something else to do with your money. If I play as Arsenal and finish top 4 and win a couple cups in 3-4 seasons, then I’m richer than Real Madrid and Man City combined. I don’t care if it goes towards stadium loans or whatever, it’s just mildly annoying to see that I have $200 million and nothing to spend it on.
Things that would be good for FIFA 12:
– game mode basically like a head to head except 2 v 2 (ie. 2 people controlling a whole team, like having guests on one console)
– cutscenes with managers on sidelines, subsitutes on sidelines
– better crowd reaction to goals
– improved player celebrations like pile ups… more interaction than just between 2 players
– bring scouting and staff upgrades back!
– pro clubs should have a wide range of cups to make certain cups more prestigious
maybe a new online mode. where people all over the world can be a team.. example one player can be defence and another striker and thats the only position they can be in that match… maybe you could get xp with playing matches… maybe you could start as defence/goalkeeper (lvl 1) and then you could get up to lvl 2 and be midfielder and lvl 3 striker or something like thaT
but when u are in lvl 3 u can still be defence or midfielder and when u are lvl 2 you can still be defence!…
does that sound like a good idea??
I loved the game but pes is realer. i think you sould make fifa just a little realer. But, never get rid of the mls, it is basiclly your only advantage
hi im from ghana, i play alot of fifa 11. i am disappointed that Ghana are not included in the international teams. I want to see them in fifa 12. Also i want the fans to be more realistic and sing and wave scarf’s and banners during the game.
I have a suggestion. I play as a goalkeeper in virtual pro. One time, I had a rating of 8.9 and did not let in a single goal. All of a sudden, The team captain kicks me out of the game. I suggest that team captain can only kick someone out of a game if his rating is below eg. 5.0?
Too much freezing during gameplay! mostly offline as well! huge disappointment… also songs when pausing the game carry on during gameplay after unpausing! seems to be quite a few bugs within FIFA 11, I think because you guys have tried too hard to cram everything (a lot of things that aren’t necessary) onto the disc/game.
I think if you are an avid FIFA 11 player then you will apreciate my suggestions to better FIFA 12..
(Xbox Live)
1. FIFA 11 online is great but could be better..I cannot understand why there is no head to head competitions like there was Cups in FIFA 2010 World Cup. Head to head can be boring if theres no objective but just to play friendlies all day.
2.Players are tampering with games when going behind..either by streaming or downloading things on their laptop. FIFA need to try and fix these bugs.
3.We’ve paid £45 for FIFA so I don’t see why we should have to fork out an extra £10 for Live Season
4. Updates for FIFA should be better.. i.e boots, hairstyles, jerseys, FIFA 11 has all the boots that were out at the time of its release in September like the purple F50’s and old adi pures. However they become very outdated come January when there is new boots released. Hairstyles isn’t so important but it shows the game is up to date. Key players should be updated..Tevez now has short hair..Fernando Torres has short hair. These are just examples.
5. The gameplay in FIFA 11 is great. Don’t really have many complaints about it but I think silly things need to be picked up on..
(a) The goalkeeper never gets sent off..ever
(b) Players that get injured never struggle the full 90mins with the injury. Instead they are fine 2mins later
(c)I Think there should be interactive celebrations. i.e players have the option to take off shirt or celebrate with fans and receive yellow card for doing so.
Pro Clubs
1. Im of the belief that as your team wins more games, the computer players should also get better but not too good.
2. There should be no suggestions at all tohave real life players in the pro clubs it wouldruin the game.
3. I think just for fun between friends the chairman and manager who is selected should sort out wages for players e.g NIALLO12 is on £13,000 a week.
4. There dosnt seem to be any set tactics for the club..we have to keep setting our freekick takers etc during the game
In conclusion FIFA 12 would be a better game if the designers listened to the players of the game. We know what we want and what has annoyed us throughout the year
First of all i have no major suggestions to the gameplay, i think that it’s already fantastic, but i think the area of improvement needed is in career mode, but here is a list of things that should be taken into consideration
General Suggestions
1. Arguments between refs/player team/team even the occasional push and shove in a heated moment
2. HAVE MANAGERS AND SUBSTITUTES on the sidelines, with managers showing emotion, shouting all of that
3. Official Sponsor of teams and now also an option of playing in training kits
4. More International teams etc Ghana, Egypt, Serbia, Ivory Coast.
5. Updates for boots and kits
Career Mode Suggestions:
1. Career Mode having durability, this is created by having international call ups, press conferences, realistic training sessions with training kits, player emotions (etc players gelling together, enjoyment, happy with coach, conflict with wages and getting a spary from local newspaper
2. When seasons objectives are worked out, should depend what leauges you play in (etc Manchester Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal play champ leauge from the get go, whilst Liverpool, Spurs play Europa leauge instead of playing a season and then playing champions leauge
3. Make your own kit. Have templates from all major shirt sponsers, so that you can make your own kits for each season,
4. Finally if you win a leauge, cup etc, have actually celebrations.
Cheers
It would be great to include accurate facial and body simulation of football managers and subs when a team score. e.g Neil lennon celebrates an old firm goal for celtic.
The inclusion of ibrox and celtic park would increase my enjoyment.
An emphasis on individual supporters hairstyles, ages and demographics would heighten enjoyment for me also.
I think that fifa 12 should have a mode where you can create your own team, kit and stadium and also get sponsors for your club. Another thing that could be added would be able to mange a country into the euro champs and world cup.
should be better players in clubs so its an all round better game,should be a virtual pro of the month so all your friends in your team can try get pro of the month, should be a top goalscorer leaderboard
I HAVE SO MANY LOGICAL AND REALISTIC IDEAS ABOUT FIFA 12 MANAGER MODE, HERE IS MY TOP 3:
1) ON CAREER MODE IN FIFA 11, YOUR OWN PLAYERS LOSE/GAIN SPECIALTIES (SHIELDS). MAKE THIS MORE CONSISTENT, DO THIS ACROSS ALL TEAMS.
2) I REACHED MY 4TH SEASON WITH LAZIO, AND I CAN’T SELL ANY OF MY PLAYERS. MAINTAIN PLAYER SALES FOR THE ENTIRE 12 SEASON CAMPAIGN.
3) THE DETAILS REGARDING LOAN PLAYERS SHOULD BE SORTED. PERHAPS ADD A CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT, LIKE IN REAL FOOTBALL, WHERE YOU CAN SIGN THE PLAYER AT THE END OF HIS LOAN SPELL. AND THIS RUBBISH REGARDING PLAYERS WHO ARE “UNABLE TO SIGN” AS THEY WERE LOANED OUT THE PREVIOUS SEASON NEEDS TO BE SCRAPPED.
Although injuries were improved in FIFA 11, they are still not very realistic. Injuries should be more frequent and for varying lengths. You look at any team in the EPL and there is usually 2, 3 or more players out each week. Especially around febuary and march when cup and league games are frequent and at higher intensity.
Not asking much really, just a more comprehensive edit function would be nice. Transferring players and adjusting their squad number etc. could be made much simpler. Also, why not have a “falsely named” euro club competition which could be edited to mirror the real thing? Perhaps a few more international teams would be nice and some more south American competitions? Other than that, the gameplay, kits and grounds are fantastic.
problems everywhere with this game:
1. fifa pro clubs there is constant sync lag ie. players see events at different times from each other
2. no first names when you push RS/R3 for bio of player
3. the ai keepers make too many stupid errors
4. strength beats pace, makes amazing players like messi pointless
5. inconsistent refereeing… red cards for two soft standing fouls
6. be a pro offline is very tedious as ai players are dreadful and slow in their approach
7. pro clubs is a fantastic idea and really fun at times but it would be so much better if the servers didnt cut out and disconnect everyone as much
Definitely commentary needs more range, more pairings, controversial decisions, be a referee, interviews in career mode( all aspects),more crowd reaction pitch invasions build from the bottom grounds kits and such improving as you climb divisions a more accurate representation of smaller team player face graphics and let’s see more accurate substituting by watch players warm up before and the 4th official programming the board more accurate transfers in manager mode otherwise the game was good
i think we should have fighting in the game cuase like in real games people fite alot also we should have kids like when players come out from the tunnel ang goes to the field the players have kid with them we should have that for fifa 12
-able to buy players after loan spells
-offer players when buying a player
-on FUT sometimes you will randomly lose connection or the game freezes and you lose DNF modifier NOT GOOD
-build your own team and start in a lower league
1) In rival matches it should get more heated with tackles coming in late and fights (not real but pushing and shoving where you can choose how your own player reacts).
2) more commentators saying different things
3) more animations
4) some players graphics such as NANI are great but other players are just SO unrealistic
5) penalty’s too confusing
6) free kicks some people are brilliant and some awful (including me) free kicks should be different so that if it’s a good player it should be much easier ( for even those bad at free-kicks)
7) at half time and pre match you should be able to motivate players and make speeches
8) pre match and post match interviews where you get to choose what to say and unveil new signings
9) In career mode, more realistic such as top teams finishing higher up rather than in the 2nd half of table, and teams such as birmingham not finishing 2nd!!!!!
10) skills made easier
11) FUT get better players in packs it was such a waste of money i spent 50k on packs and got value of about 10k!!!
The computer opponent plays the same way in every game…for example, wingers most of the time crosses the balls..goalkeeper goal kicks not passes the ball to the defender and computer opponent does not show skill and celebration moves.
Fifa 12 should include more argentinian team if not even the argentinian tournament league
WE need to create our own teams without being online
my bro and me play online a lot and we play a half each u starts lossing then i win it but wene i start to win they all ways qwits it should go down as a win
(sorry for bad speeling)
Where’s the ability to turn off autosave gone? Autosaving is so buggy and slow it’s vital to be able to turn it off, I’ve had 4 Manager Mode saves I’ve had to write off and start afresh, so I just don’t bother now. Do you have 12 year olds writing the code and testing? There’s so much basic stuff that’s just plain wrong. Sort it out!
Wish PES would get back to producing a decent match experience, coz everything else about it beats the shoite out of FIFA.
Only a small suggestion. When subs are being made during the game maybe show the new player warming up as well as have the 4th official plugging the subs number into the board. And then at each half showing the crowd how many extra mins to be played with the board.
After you loan a player there should be option to buy
Definately incorporate trade offers with players in transfer mode.
When playing a through ball….. The recieving player should be able to run towards the ball and not always away from it 🙂
Maybe a good tutorial would be nice, esspecially when you come from other soccer games.
On fifa 11 and 10 when you play your virtual pro online. on the bar where it says your player nane on the outher person screen it say create player1.
The idea of quiting game or ”lost connection” wipes off all the games performance is not good! Fifa10 had a good feature, if you quit the game, it counts as a loss which was pefect. On fifa11, every player you play against online quits if he feels defeated already and you lose the point! Its not easy to build up a high profile that way!
1. It would be awesome if during the game, if you pressed the back arrow on the controller, a menu would come up on screen very much like it does when you press a direction on the D-pad. It would bring up your squad and you could make substitutions that way. Instead of pressing pause and going to team management, you could make a substitution during a goal kick, throw in, free kick.
2. Improve shooting accuracy
Add Wales ON THERE!!!!!!!!
