Fifa PC vs consoles

[cheesesteak]

PC gameplay demo. Look dang good. If you look closely you can small differences in the UI. But other than that, looks virtually the same

edit: but i'm reading fifa11 PC is just an updated fifa10. It doesn't have new console features like personality+, pro passing, be a goalkeeper, or the new career mode. Now it's up in the air if i get PC version...

...sometimes the PC version is even better than the console one for some games.

Here's the official video from EA Sports:

I'm interested to see what the code looks like. i hope we can change the physics of the ball because the ball in the air just doesn't seem to look right. Should be more like PES6, rather than a floating ping pong ball of FIFA...

I don't play FIFA console. Only PC. The console version cannot be edited like PC, so you are only able to fix gameplay problems on the PC version.

There are many many ways to slow down the pace of the game on PC. Route 1 football is no longer an issue in my game because it can be easily fixed. I've adjusted goalkeepers, player to player collision, shot accuracy, among other things to make successful buildup more of a result of patience rather then butting mashing and just outrunning people. (which doesn't happen in real soccer)

Yes. Every player is dangerous, however the best players have the best footwork and passing so they can sometimes make plays others can't. but in open space, every player feels like he is a threat at any time. It becomes about how your defenders are positioned rather then luck of the draw.

the best thing about the gameplay balancing is you can make it so every match is different. If you play a CPU team with "total football", then there is even more of a chance that defenders and midfielders can look to score at times. the way things work in my game is defenders stay back most of the time, except sometimes WBs. midfielders are the ones that get tired the quickest because they are constantly moving. but this specific problem hopefully will be improved soon.

Anytime man. finding the right balance on the PC version isn't easy. but it's rewarding.

I wanted to buy the FIFA 10 download so I tried the demo first and it just doesnt play silky smooth like consoles. I don't have the best PC but it is fairly strong. I have a intel I3 2.93ghz processor, an upgraded 1gb ATI Radeon video card and 6MB of RAM. Still for some reason it felt a bit slow, but very playable. I guess I'm just spoiled by console gaming.
