Me too. One of the best things I ever did with FIFA 10 (and World Cup for that matter) was change the half length to 10 minutes. Completely changes the game and gets rid of that fast break feeling.

Agreed. When stuff like that happens and I play with my friends we give a goal back.

FIFA's problem isn't so much the attackers are able to take away the ball. They should because defenders are defenders for a reason. The problem is the AI needs to get rid of it knowing that it can't hold onto the ball.

I've never bought a soccer game before but this game has me intrigued. I played the demo tonight and I REALLY LIKED it.

Need a little advice about the learning curve. I understand the game and how it is played in general and really want to get into getting a soccer game this year. Would this be a good choice?

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

Finally got to play the PS3 demo.. and I gotta say I'm pretty impressed.

I've always enjoyed soccer games much more on the 360... the controls just seem much tighter, a little more fluid. With that being said, the game just feels much more organic as some people on here have stated. There are more loose balls, you now have full control of the defenders when a ball is being passed(before, the defender would automatically run straight to the back of the player receiving the ball), now you have more freedom in every aspect of the game.

Its still a bit hectic at times, but much like real soccer, you sometimes just have to make the easy back pass or shield the ball for a second to open things up. I think once you realize that you don't have to attack all the time, you'll really start to appreciate it. That and extend the half length by a good 4-5 minutes. I have yet to play PES, so I can't compare, but this game is really good.

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

played world cup 2010 world class level and it was a great experience. Almost everything was good and in general, it was the most fun and realistic soccer game i've ever played. this coming from a huge and loyal PES fan.

Tried the demo last nite, and world class level has taken a step back IMO. The cpu gets disposessed way too easily so there's no risk and reward. WC2010, if you overpursue, they will make you pay, but the cpu AI at least on WC level is a lot clumsier in fifa 11. Also, i've seen LESS overlapping by cpu DMs and Wingbacks than WC 2010. My one complaints pre-wc2010, was that fifa games , the cpu scoring was done 95 percent by the forwards/AMs and very very rare the Dms contributed in the run of play. It was fixed completely in wc 2010, but is this yet again a problem in fifa 11 ? I hope not, but my first impression says it very well could be.

I'm going to play more and judge, but my first impressions from fifa 11: not so enthused.

ALso, whatever happened to personality +......all my players have the same pass accuracy feel and if there is a difference, it reall couldn't be felt. I wanna really eel the difference between a Xavi/Pirlo versus Gattuso/Ferdinand passing wise.....

maybe legendary level is the holy grail, but i don't know....fifa\s highest levels usually yield suspect gameplay in terms of cpu boosts and such.

**AndyP** · 09-19-2010, 06:11 AM

I like the improvements and the attempt to hit some of the cheesy stuff that was detrimental to the online experience last year. I wanted to see a greater fatigue hit for those who play aggressive the entire game and the opportunity to better focus on a player that I want to pass to when taking a free kick - quite often the AI will still pick out the wrong player even if you look in that direction. Why can't I turn 360 degrees when taking a free kick as well ? and no quick throw-ins ? But apart from that I love it.

I feel like there's alot more "liveliness" of the ball around the goalie. In other words, the ball doesn't just suction into the goalie's hands.

Real Madrid scored an easy one on my when my goalie didn't scoop up the ball.

Agreed. World class is much easier on FIFA 11 than FIFA 10.

On Legendary, my players felt a little bit sluggish compared to World Class difficulty.

Still love the game though.

Has anyone here played the demo on PC? It's literally, no exaggeration, the exact same game as FIFA 10 on PS3/360.

Here's one of the goals, I'm quite please with. The way Drogba turned the defender was pure class and it wasn't a skill move. I have zero dexterity to do skills moves!

Most anticipated game of the year! Ha!

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

Shielding with exit moves is gone. Terrible.

No way to protect the ball against hyper pressing defenses now. Let's just let them run through us . . .

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

I wish the camera used on corner kicks was the one from World Cup. The pulled back view is so much easier to work with.
