Fifa 11

[Marc]

ok finally got the demo (for PC) last night and its pretty decent, a few new touches and stuff and its ebtter so far IMO. Got a problem with lagging graphics so trying to sort that now (seems to be widespread on x64 Win7 systems).

Bloody hope they have proper transfer windows with no crappy Negotiation Limits....one of the huge things that bugged me in FIFA10!

P.S. I like FIFA as it can get modded quite alot which helps with the experience, is the same true for PES for the PC?

FIFA 10 did have transfer windows and limitless negotiations....

This demo is DEFINATELY harder. I have always played on legendary. Yesterday I was doing well on the demos and winning a few 1-0 or 2-0....and then I realised it was only on world class.

Boosted it to legendary and it's a different kettle of fish. Much harder than previous fifas and an actual challenge. I LOVE IT

PC version did'nt and I should know I have the bloody thing installed on my PC

Thankfully FIFA11 PC has the NextGen engine which incorporates stuff from the consoles which includes Career stuff so hopefully its changed.

I dont like the demo at all.

What?! Why?

 

[Marc1901]

What?! Why?

Probably because i love fifa 10 and it just doesnt seem realistic what so ever. The whole thing about falling over when taking a penalty is bullshit , or maybe im just shit

Mmm, pens are hard to start with, but in the arena just press the left trigger/r2 when taking a penlty to see the aiming reticule appear. When you get your eye in at how long to hold the stick either way, it should get easier. Sorry if the explanation is poor

How do you do the stutter pen (on xbox)? so flair.

Kay, my bad It helps that it is the same system from the world cup game. For some reason against Juventus with Arsenal, they always miss their penalties. Had two against them this morning and they missed 8/8. Weird

Press B again after the player runs to take it

Played it for quite a long time last night, and it's brilliant. Utterly brilliant.

I think you have to be a regular player of Fifa 10 to appreciate what they have done with items such as passing. I can imagine it's hardly a change for infrequent players, but for obsessive players like myself, it's a HUGE improvement, and takes the game to a much higher level, and for that reason is harder. Which it needed to be.

I then played 5 or so games of PES. No real change from 2010. The reason I too moved over to Fifa from Pes. Shit.

I only play Fifa 10 on xbox and it is alot better than playing the Fifa 11 demo.

Why though? All I can see so far is that you are finding it too hard...

Shooting is awful and so are the penalties. Just not a fan of it yet , probably will be soon but i think im going to stick with playing fifa 10 instead of 11 at the moment.

Shooting is quality, they've made it harder to score from long distance which is better and more realistic, plus the technique on the shots/volleys are so much better. Penalties on the other hand are awful.

 

[HalfTimeOrange]

Penalties are a lot better, trying to make it more difficult and daunting is more realism added to the game, really like the feature.

 

[sam86]

Yep. Penalties are much, much better. Was really pleased with that introduction to Fifa World Cup. The whole "point in a direction and press a button" penalty was so out of character with the rest of the game, in terms of trying to be realistic. You now have the bar at the bottom, which acts as the players 'bottle/nerve', and then the direction of being able to play it in any position, rather than 6 fixed areas of the goal, and then the great feature of the keeper having 'after thoughts' and stick up a leg/arm in the direction the balls going, with this being an attribute some keepers are better at than others.

Brilliant.
