    I used to hate soccer, but then I watched the World Cup. I found myself wanting more after there was no more. Then I found the English Premier League, but I still wanted more.

    Having played football games(soccer if you're American) for over ten years (both Fifa and Pro Evo) I can honestly say this is the best of the best. :-)

    This game takes the virtual football experience to the next level. The more intuitive AI makes the experience more realistic, it essentially kills of the FIFA player who could use the fastest player to run through the entire team. This new game rewards the player who learns how to play FIFA on a better level, one who learns to pass and one who actually knows what they are doing.

    Now, making things simple, there are 2 major soccer games PES & FIFA, and considering that fifa 10 was brilliant, and a way better game than PES, and knowing that fifa 11 is a better game than fifa 10, it deserves a very high score for being the best footie game in the market.

The game tends to decend into a midfield mash of tackles and lost balls, it doesnt flow anymore like Fifa 10 did. The Ai doesnt give you room to breath, the passing is awful as and the game is far too slow. Ive noticed as well the Ai doesnt do the off teh ball runs like it does in 10...again not a bad game but its not brilliant..bit of let down for me.… Expand

    Great game overall and of course still better than PES.

    Bad Points: This years pro-pass system has died a terrible burning death. It just takes a minute to realize EA really has no new ideas when it came to creating FIFA 11 and so tweaked with things that did not need to be touched (other than ping-pong passes of course).

FIFA fan boys will defend this silly gimmick but they are to be ignored at all costs...they are wrong.

    The bugs....o dear god the bugs. This game is FULL of them! Just take a quick look on FIFA forums to see what I mean. Its outrageous this game was released the way it was. The main problem seems to be the 'freezing' problem that many PS3 (mainly slims) and Xbox360 owners have encountered. I myself witnessed the game freeze mid-play 13 times for around 2-3 seconds. It really does beg the question do EA employ QA testers and if so are they 5? AWAITING PATCH.

    Good Points:

    It's FIFA!

    Goal celebrations are much improved

    Can finally add your own music instead of listening to the AWFUL music we normally have to sit through whilst crying. Also the crowd chants are an excellent idea!    … Expand

    Right!! its defiantly better than last year, more fluid, better gameplay, even better commentary. the celebrations are better and the graphics on the top player are really good. despite this there will always be something about the new pro evolution soccer even though it has **** graphics. both great games.

    Great game, the last FIFA I played was WC2010 and I have to say the game play in this version is much smoother and feels more realistic. This game will last you for a long time even if you are just a casual fan of the sport. Get a few friends to buy it and play with them online, you will all have a blast with the different online modes!

    For years i had been a PES fan until it got a bit cark on PS3 and EA's Fifa series took over for me in around 2006. Every year it got a bit better since then (except graphically) untill Fifa 11.

Fifa 11 career mode is missing small but important things like scouting, coach/stadium development upgrades (which had been standard up to this release) and replaced it with notthing, the general game play has become a lot less fluid and as for multiplayer, i have never had a problem with this before on Fifa and have no other problems on other games but the network connection on Fifa 11 is horrendous and you are lucky to finish a game. And as for the load time between games in career mode well................... This to me sums up EA, they are more about their bottom line than good games. The developers, lets be honest do not really do much on Fifa games except add something here and there for each one. EA really cant be spending to much cash developing them each year when compared to original games, yet their revenue from Fifa is massive. An example is ultimate team, they released this as paid DLC for Fifa 10 and for me if its paid DLC for the previous game it should be standard in the next and they should come up with something fresh to charge us for next time around, but this was not the case and they cashed in on this once again in Fifa 11.

    - Commentary is terrible. I scored a goal and this is what i got "the flag is up and the ball has gone out of play off the defender"
    Difficulty weird and not challenging. Basically more of a challenge and test on semi-pro then on difficulties professional, world class and legendary. On the last 3 difficulties scorelines will be 0-0 or 1-0 to you. Opposition parks the bus. Dont attack and dont even try to score ie, one game for me. United vs Spurs. I had 92% passing, 72% possesion, 20 shots on target. Spurs had 0 shots, 75% passing and 28% possesion. That was on profesional, replay the game on semi pro and i won 3-2. I had something like 12 shots on target, spurs had 8 shots on target etc
    - Terrible scripting on strikers. Ie a weak defender from a league 2 side can out muscle, out sprint and outdo players like Nani, Rooney, Higuain etc

    Despite an amazing depth to the gameworld into which FIFA 11 invites you, you can't help but think there is a certain lack of intellegence to the gameplay. It is sometimes hard to truly control shots even with the "finesse" modifier and often the AI will score with one or two attacks in a game, rendering your efforts completely useless.

It is sometimes hard to truly control shots even with the "finesse" modifier and often the AI will score with one or two attacks in a game, rendering your efforts completely useless. This detracts from the great "career mode" play, which allows you to manage your club better than ever before, scouring the planet in search of the new Drogba (his name is Lukaku). The gloss is mostly enough to take your attention away from this, but not completely. Those who have played the World Cup edition will be familiar with many of the innovations, and penalties are extremely realistic, albeit often difficult. Having played PES11, I can safely say I will once again be returning to the Konami franchise for the long term but I will keep FIFA 11 for the occassional player vs player game with friends.… Expand

    FIFA (Soccer) 11 has greatly improved on the faults that the previous games had. For instance, in 09 and 10, it was too easy to score, with me sometimes getting results like 16-0.

Now, there is a chance that you ball can go wayward, and the power system being put into place in passing means you have more control. The addition of the ability to save some of your best goals is a godsend, no doubt. This installment definitely deserves a 10. I would award it 20 if it was possible!

FIFA 2011 unfortunately felt like it had buckled under the success of its predecessors and rather than be further refined and tuned into the perfect work of art it should have been, suffered from severe bugs and lack of ambition. True they fixed the annoyances of 2010 such as the ease of being able to chip the keeper 90% of the time but that seemed to be about it, with the only true addition being a frankly poor goalkeeper mode that had seemed to involve a lot of waiting around, followed by a fumble of button pressing before conceding the only goal of the game. An otherwise enjoyable experience, if not anything revolutionary… Expand

    i think that fifa 11 is much better than fifa 10 because the game play is more realistlic and that is much harder to keep the possession of ball and its much harder to score goals past the keeper. When you are taking a pentaly kick you have to be reallly accurate when you score a penalty kick past the keeper. I think fifa 11 has improved alot from the last game the graphics are much better.

    Gameplay is as solid as ever, new modes add to the already huge depth, you can also add your own tracks into the game and the Creation Center is fantastic.

People may say there is no signifcant improvement since FIFA 10 but its the minor tweaks and the little adjustments made that somehow enable FIFA to get better and better every year! To topple last years outing is remarkable. Sound is as amazing as ever, particuarly stadium atmospheres, if you've ever been or played against FC Porto then you'll know what im talking about. The visual's are splendid maybe not quite as good as it gets but still pretty solid. Gameplay is once again inspiring. The new personality plus is dynamite! Each individual player has his own unique style for example Theo Walcott can breeze by players as if they didn't exist. And it's the same for most of the top players unfortunately that means the lesser players miss out but they can't get every single player correct can they? Online is as addictive and amazing as ever, you've got the FIWC as well as Ultimate Team. Offline there is the Be A Pro mode again, and the new Be A Goalkeeper (not quite as indulging as it seams, quite boring actually) and the ever reliable manager mode. So if your buying one football game this year, then FIFA is your game without any doubt it holds onto topspot unharmed in a different class from anything else on offer. Must have!… Expand

    Good game. Though... Offsides in this game are called when it was clearly legal. The game seems often passes to the opposite of where you aimed. The players also love to stand and wait for the ball when its passed to them which leads to it being intercepted lots. Its a good game, if you're looking for a soccer game id recommend the "Winning Eleven" series.

    I've always liked FIFA games, but they were always just the games I would play when I had nothing better to do. So I was surprised when I got the 50 hours trophy! It's better than all of the other FIFA games because I think the game play has vastly improved from the other titles in the series. There are some faults but beside that this game is the best football game I have ever played.

Obviously, if you need a soccer game, there is nothing better than this, and ProEvo is really miles behind now, but the overall feeling is that this series is not moving anywhere, and the leap made with the 09 and 10 versions will remain a once in a while happening.

    Personality plus, passing and jostling definitely makes this game stand out from it's predecessor, but unless you love footy and enjoy getting one every year then I would definitely recommend waiting perhaps for a few years.

You can also easily be sacked as manger, this game is also riddled with bugs, which can be sorted out but they are annoying all the same. I created a team and uploaded it, I called them United City F.C but according to EA the name was Team_45_zxyery or something just as stupid. Of coarse it's not all bad for Fifa though, it's still a very good simulation of football. (I refuse to call it soccer) There is still a vast amount of leagues and teams to select from, playing online is exciting and playing with a created team (when it works) is a nice new feature.

    FIFA 11 made several important changes for the series. The first here appeared a modern menu of careers with news tape, after a bleak menu in FIFA 10. Second, most players in the Premier League are digitized. And the gameplay became more pleasant, although the great actions are still rigidly scripted. The graphics also took a significant step forward.
