FIFA 11

After playing FIFA 11 all day today it is definitely the best football game ever. It's like EA have listened to almost all the criticism and tried to fix it. I think the best improvement is the fatigue levels in manager mode. You can actual play the same team every saturday (but you do have to change it for midweek matches). The players look better than last year. They have Bristol City's goalkeeper kit. The inclusion of your own songs is brilliant as that Gorrilaz song is getting on my nerves so I'm going to put my own music in soon. Be a Goalkeeper is good but gets boring quickly. They've added a time limit to before an online match which is good if you want to get going quickly but it is actually annoying if you want to change the team. The signature celebrations are good (especially Tevez).

Anyone else get it yet? Thoughts?

probably getting it tomorrow. First thing i'll do is read the instructions for a change as it has a fair few changes. Not sure how the chants thing will work, but as city made blue moon nice and famous that should be on lol. Best thing about new fifa games is they DO listen. Remember last time a researcher contacting fan forum and it resulted in a new stadium that looked alot like gresty road, and looked good for teams who dont have fucking house walls at one end lol. From the demo it looked so much more like football, ball movement again improved.

You should see the amount of people complaining on the EA forum because they've made it more realistic. Everybody else is just telling them to go play PES. It's so realistic its untrue. So much better than last year.

hopefully i'll be able to play my own style online too, sick of having to conform to shite gamer style. Think they mentioned how a more sensible build up of play is rewarded and crazy play is punished

That Gorillaz song is a banger i love that song but yeah being able to add your own music to the game is brilliant.

The gameplay is brilliant as i like slick passing game but kick and rush. Don't know what manager mode looks like but ill probably have a look around internet for some info on it.

I like the Gorillaz song but it plays so much more than any other song and is getting annoying. I've tried loads of times to get music on my ps3 and can never figure out how to do it. I might try using a CD.

They dont listen to evrything, still no Ibrox or Celtic Park, & no 1st, 2nd or 3rd Divisions for the Scottish teams to get relegated or promoted.

that's true Fergie, that lets fifa down really in that respect.

horizon try putting the music you want on a usb and plugging it into the ps3. not sure what you do from there on as i dont have a ps3.

Try this for official match chants

i dont know if anyone on here did but i know a few mates that lined up at midnight to buy fifa i call these people and people who did the same


sad twats.

nah just got mine off amazon

i pre ordered on amazon and it came first thing this morning.

horizon put a disc in & copy it to the PS3 then i assume like PES you go into playlist & create a file for PES its KONAMI_PES & it plays your tracks

Fergie PES has the licence for celtic park

Amazon deliver through the post though, so thank Royal Mail.

(Unless you paid £1000 extra for the wanky "super delivery" or some shit like that)

Still, it's pretty good that it came on release day with super saver delivery.

was just about to ask that. Fuck that, I dont give a shit about the scottish 1st divison or anything but at least stick in those 2 stadiums.

Aye but playing the SPL gets boring after one season same shit over & over again.

Play.com gave theres out 3 days early so you should have went there

Yeah play usually send things out early, I remember getting Mass Effect 2 from them the day before release.

A couple of questions since this is the first FIFA game I've bought in fuck knows how long.

Is there a faster version of sprint? For example in Pro Evo you could hammer the sprint button and it would go even faster which was useful at times, the sprint in FIFA seems to just be walking faster rather than really running, and a sprinting Messi getting caught by John Terry just doesn't seem right to me.

And what do the people who used to play PES use for the controller settings? Alternative isn't quite right on it's own so I swapped the RB and RT buttons about as well but I'm still not sure that's quite right.

oh and Fergie and JacMan, is it actually possible to get semi-decent players to come to the likes of Rangers? Seems like everyone rejects contracts cos the league is shite, even players that are transfer listed, fucking frustrating.

on pes doesn't tapping sprint knock the ball in front of you so you can run faster? on fifa you do the same by pressing the right stick forward

Ah ok! Cheers for that, I'll have to give that a go although I don't like the idea of having to take my thumb away from the face buttons just to run a bit faster, but I'll see if I can get used to it.

horizon thats R2
