FIFA Soccer 11 - Playstation 3

I have been playing FIFA for years...Im talking Sega Genesis days. Unless they make drastic improvements next year Im strongly considering trying PES by Konami. This was probably one of the most horrible soccer games Ive played. Before anybody reading this starts assuming Im an idiot let me finish. From a cosmetic standpoint this game is beautiful. The colors are amazing and they did a nice job on facial mapping. However it ends there. All the players run in the same robotic fashion and there is no player personality evident that EA tries to market so proudly. Lionel Messi is no different than a Freddy Adu. The gameplay is slow and confusing while the art of dribbling is all but gone. You cannot cut or move through even one defender in certain situations. Passes are tedious and seldom go in the actual direction you want. I understand that you want to try and add as much realism as possible in a game however people still have to remember no matter how realistic they want it to be...it is STILL a video game and will never be reality. Secondly even in reality an elite player can slash past a defense on occasion or dribble past one defender. And last but not least penalty kicks are totally absurd now. Even after watching the tutorial on the matter I still felt there was too much confusion and it took the fun and suspense out of it. The keeper diving system is a joke and any time I need to go through 3 processes involving a moving meter for a penalty kick it is just over thinking by some programmer.

Absolutely Brilliant as stated by Martin Tyler in my FIFA 11 play through and I absolutely agree. It is not a significant leap from FIFA 08 to FIFA 09 yet it feels so refreshing from 2010. The graphics are top notch with the minor complaint is the non-human characters looking a little like clay humans. The sound is top notch with a huge and entertaining soundtrack; dont like the music? Well now you can create a playlist with your own tracks. The biggest addition to the audio department is the addition of adding your own chants during a match however chants can only be sung during the opening ceremony, if your team is winning, if your team is losing and half-time. The biggest gripe with the addition of chants is that they are not easy to make. In order to add them to the game you can form a playlist or choose a track per each action. As easy as it sounds, it takes a while for the game to read your music folders making it time consuming and boring. Now on to gameplay, the newest addition to the FIFA Addition is Personality + in which specific footballers have their own personality/skill. For example, Walcott of Arsenal is labeled as a speedster making him one of the fastest players in the game. Another example is a player with the expert crosser skill in which during gameplay you notice the difference. One small problem with the game is I feel that the pitch is too small making the midfield crowded thus harder to make chances. Online is top notch allowing you to play 11 vs 11 or just head-to-head matches. In conclusion, FIFA is the best sport game ever!

I am in my early 40s, so I was raised more on Pac Man and Asteroids. I do not have a lot of time playing games & dont have a network of gaming friends. But I do like being able to have a satisfying solo game every now and then to blow off some after-work steam. Well, honestly, once I start playing this one... next thing I know its after midnight and Ive played half a Premier League season. I love it.

I have played Fifa soccer since 06 and its been a great experience, but Fifa 11 has managed to make me stop playing the game. They took all the fun out of the game, passing is really hard, fast players are slow, shooting from far doesnt work, it is extremely difficult to score a Goal, to the point of frustration. Yes it is more like real life but real life Sucks, the fact that anybody could play well with good player was great, it brought more fans, I spent countless hours playing Fifa Ultimate Team 10, and i was really looking forward to this season. With so many players disconnecting it will really suck that after working really hard to score a goal the other player disconnects at the 90min. Save your money, Fifa 10 is much better. Also EA shows greed now you have to pay extra to play online(1 code included), we have three users at home and now they want more than the $60 for playing online. If EA wanted less people to play Fifa mission accomplished. ill be selling my copy of Fifa 11. Very sad to write this review. I hope Fifa 12 brings back the fun, Scoring Goals! EA stop charging extra for other users to play online, its bad enough you charge $60 for the world cup game when it should be an added update like the Ultimate Team.

I went to game stop and wouldve paid more for a used one but I got it here and got a great price and arrived to me in no time

Deep Deep Deep Game! Encourages you to create your unique own style of gameplay. Very sophisticated; takes into account more than you can imagine.

thanks

This is a great game! By far the most realistic Fifa game so far, and I have been a Fifa fan for years and years. I love how much more realistic the passing and especially the dribbling is. It is great to have more than 8 directions to run (although it makes it harder to sprint right up the sideline without going to the left or right :) I love having the Russian league also. Graphics are amazing on my 1080p. Controls are the same as before with better results. Passing is more realistic and shotting is more accurate. Great game. Best by far!!

So my local GameStop was selling FIFA 11 at midnight and I decided I just couldnt wait so I picked it up.

I bought this game from amazon.com, however; I bought this from a different seller than amazon with a great deal $22 :D I love the game since FIFA 1998. And I have been playing it ever since. Great game for Soccer Lovers. At 1st its hard to get used to the paste and the techniques but after a while youll get use to it;)
