FIFA Soccer 11 Demo Available Post Impressions Here (PS3, 360)

[StormJH1]

Excited to check out the demo, but my primary concerns are things off the pitch. Like one poster wrote above, there was some predictability to things that would happen within the gameplay that hopefully has been diversified, kind of like what NHL 09 did with some of the "patterns" that happened in NHL 08.

But I really don't want to hear that Manager Mode is exactly the same this year. I was actually happy with the level of "depth" it had in FIFA 10, but the negative budget glitch and several others killed it, and certain tasks (like sorting through names of players) just seems like it's much more complicated and tedious than it needs to be. But of course, we won't really know about those things until a few days after the retail release.

Does anyone know how to get the extras from the demo? I've played 5 games and all the extras still say locked on them.

It has IMO but try it and see what you think.

I am copying this from the Fifa Soccer Blog site posted by Nanny:

1. Tackling, its still too physical. You just smash into each other and the player just keeps bouncing off them without fouling. 360 Jostling does help but not enough. If you press from behind or even the side you will foul a player.

2. Space and time on the ball. There isnt enough, i feel pressured all the time. Especially after playing the PES demo its such a nice change to be able to slow down and get a player like Xavi to a walking pace then find that special pass. In FIFA you dont have any time in the midfield.


These 2 things are what is holding Fifa back for me as well.

Are we able to control the goalies in this demo? If so, how?

I don't even like soccer but I have had a blast playing in be a pro mode as a right striker.
