    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.

    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    Great game overall and of course still better than PES.

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

    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 those who havent played fifa before will definitely like this game but for those who have it'll just get boring after a while.

    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. This year it has gone backwards and this for me is unacceptable.

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

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. They have improved the key elements to game play that was really needed. 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. It has to be the best sports game ever made, so much better than pro evolution in my eyes. I think the personality and the customizations are just simply unbeatable.
