Re: FIFA 11 Post-Patch Impressions (PS3 & 360)
I played one game when I went home for lunch. Played a game of my manager career mode with the chicago fire, where I am somewhere between 20-24 games into the first season. Here is what I noticed...and keep in mind this is one game vs all the other games i have played, it might be just a coincedence and not necessarily the update fixing anything. I play on world class, 10 min, all default settings.
- you still get pressured by the cpu, but it doesnt seem nearly as hard. it seems like you have a little more time to decide what to do before they come at you.
- goal kicks, 50/50 balls...it seemed when i sent a GK long, the cpu would win the header 80% of the time. When i did win the 50/50 balls, it seemed like a weak tap that went nowhere. now i feel like i actually had a chance to win them, especially when jostling into better position. and the headers from these had more force.
- through passes - yes maybe my fault because i play with default settings...but it would seem that when there would be a good run by a teammate, and i would send a through ball, it would go straight at a defender. it seemed like they actually tried to avoid hitting the defender so it would actually get through. of course this did take the runner have to change his run route, but even so it was nice to not see them go straight into a defender.
- cpu clogging the box...it seemed impossible to get a good shot through the middle w/o a through ball or a lucky deflection in the past. or any shot from 5-10 yd out of the box rarely had a chance to get through. now it seems like you can get those shots off.
- cpu offense...they passed back some, and they kicked a LOT of long balls. It was nice to see them 20 yd or so from the midline, and send the ball long to the corner. saw them switch the side of the field too.
- my guys had a chance when overmatched. I signed a 91 speed fa RM...yet it seemed when i sent him a chipped through ball to the corner, he would always get beat to it by slower defenders. not so anymore. and in the past it seemed when dribbling and jostling with a cpu defender, he would always get through me to get the ball, but i couldnt do the same or would get called for a foul. I feel like my guys can hold the defender off a little better now.
- cpu seemed to get called for quite a few more fouls...with 10 min halves i think i usually saw around 5 a game for the cpu, with an occasional card. this game i saw 10, with 2 yellows.
- for the 2nd time in the season i got an email about a guy improving. the first time pre patch they dropped the guy by 1 point. i got on immediately after this first post patch game, and the guy actually did go up a point.
how much of this was just something i thought i saw different, and how much was caused by the update, got me. but it did seem to play a bit better.
