    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. So I got this game thinking that I would finally reach my fill of soccer. I can't stop watching soccer or playing this game. Hard to find fault with a game that you can't put down.

    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.

Americans who dont now a **** about football should shut up and stop rating this game, FIFA 11 is easily the most authentic, realistic football game ever created. You should go and play the robotic, unrealistic PES 11, and let us, the europeans worry about real football. We know the game, you dont! Expand

    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.

    Best football game ever created. Amazing movement, truly authentic experience! One for the lovers of simulation! Many improvements from the previous iterations. Career mode is a dream come true that can only get better in the coming years.

    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.

    Excellent game, they have improved key elements to game play that was much needed. The passing is more realistic instead of the ping pong passing we have seen in previous outings,dribbling and struggling jostling for the ball is spot on just great game overall.

    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 the last 7-8 years its always been Pro Evo for me. This year I have joined the so called 'dark side' and I am not disappointed. The overall package of FIFA 11 was great. The rights to leagues and teams. The smoothness of online game play which was one of the important factors comparing to the last 2 PES version. The commentary is ok and a lot better than John Champion. The only issueFor the last 7-8 years its always been Pro Evo for me.

    Fifa 11 is an exciting football game and has changed a lot over the years. The game also had a lot of new things added to it as well.

    i think that Fifa 11 is a really good game, it has the potential to beat other football games in the world, the stuff that you can do on the games is simply just amazing, you will be very shocked with the amount of things you can do on the game, it is just like playing football real life but just on a console, i used to be a pro evolution fan.

But as soon as Fifa 09 came out i was very shocked and started playing Fifa. Fifa took over my role of pro evolution, because it is more real life, the characters are more real life, just like the whole game.

Passing is so much more realistic instead of passing it and it goes straight to you, it is much harder, you have to precise your passing. But it is better than Fifa 10 in every aspect.

This game is also one for the lovers of stimulation! It is so much better than last year, your eyes will be glued to the game once you play it, i recommend you will never get bored of it, it is just simply the best game out in the world. Expand

    FIFA 11 is the football game to buy, it is officially licensed by FIFA football's world governing body! and has every league and team in the world licensed like every Fifa game, with real-life players unlike pro evolution soccer. I Have brought every Fifa game since Fifa 96 and what makes me buy this one is that it is the most accurate and true video game football experience ever!.The wayFIFA 11 is the football game to buy, it is officially licensed by FIFA football's world governing body! and has every league and team in the world licensed like every Fifa game, with real-life players unlike pro evolution soccer. I Have brought every Fifa game since Fifa 96 and what makes me buy this one is that it is the most accurate and true video game football experience ever!.The way the ball and players move around is unbelievable its like watching a football game on TV. They have also managed to improve the graphics from last year which is cool. Another thing that has improved from last year is that it is too realistic as it is very hard to score a goal and when you do score it has you off seat like your in the game. The game play is so engaging that when you score a goal you will be celebrating. It also has a new be a goalkeeper mode where it lets you be the goal keeper which is pretty fun.
    There is also a new career mode whichlets you be a player, manager or player manager.
    Manager mode is outstanding, you can be in charge of your team and sign big players and build your own dream team!. Online play as with every EA Sports game is realible and responsive thers always someon eto play and it hardly freezes. OVERALL If there is one game your going to buy this Winter its got to be Fifa 11 theres never been a better video game football experience and it keep getting better every year.

    The way the game looks is good graphics and good and it the players look real then they normally do and i am tempted to get it and the controls look easier than before. The rating i would give it is 8.5 and i think it is worth buying because if you buy it now you can go on the online season mode.the modes on the game are really good and experience a managers experience.

    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. This detracts from the great "career mode" play,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. 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
