How much do you play? I was thinking of getting this on the PC as it's essentially Fifa 10 but with some of the world cup tweaks, which sounds really good. I did enjoy 10, it had it's flaws on the consoles but it was mostly fun, 11 is just an annoying ball breaker with the amount of retardedness the AI shows.

Was on a good run last night. Playing 4-1-2-1-2 seems to work best. I now play defense through the entire game and I feel confident with my back four. Haven't leaked any goals and really made the other guy work for his goals. I no longer feel scared playing against the top teams now.
Beat Real Mardid,Barca,Inter and AC Milan last night. My best win was beating Barca 1-0 and my highest win was beating Ac Milan 3-0. I only had 2 shots on target against Barca while he had 23 attempts on goal and something like 15 shots on target. It was non stop attacking by Messi and Villa.
I played the Fifa 11 demo on the pc and but I enjoy Fifa 11 more. The control and player animations does it for me.

Just beat Barca twice. 4-2 then 2-0. Start to get the hang of this. 
I play a few online matches each day, till I normally get to fustrated to continue
Its not without its faults Fifa 11, but I still really enjoy playing it. Try the demo for a quick taste, but they've changed a LOT in the full game.

Spoke too soon. Just got beat 2-0 by Barca. Hit the bar twice with Park and missed a free header. I still don't know how to volleys or bicycle kicks.
First of all I'm not brilliant but I'll try give you the best strategies I've come up with to tackle the problems you've encountered
Try not to hold pressure/2nd press until you're sure the player you're doing it with won't be dragged out of position. What I like to do when defending is get control of a CDM or a CB and try to close off the best possible pass my opponent can make, then hold 2nd press to get a midfielder to put pressure on the player with the ball.
When you've got the ball in midfield, NEVER hold run. If there isn't an option to pass forward go sideways or back, also make use of chipping the ball about as it's very accurate in FIFA 11 compared to other football games. Don't always go for the hollywood Y ball, in fact use Y very rarely. Use pass and move to try create triangles in midfield to pass the ball around and frustrate your opponent into dragging defenders out of position.
You could be passing the ball too quickly up the pitch, wait for support to arrive before just booting it up to the attackers.
Hope those tips help, the main thing with FIFA 11 I find is you need to take your time doing everything, the game pace is pretty slow so you can afford to take a second to think before pressing up with a defender or attempting a perfect through ball.

Thanks. Good advice. I'll try it out next time.
Just got beat twice by AC Milan. 2-1 then 2-0. Saved a pen, missed a pen, hit the wood work. Sometimes I just get unlucky. I played well during these defeats so I don't feel bad about losing.

I've found one of the true keys to victory is anticipation. Seeing where your opponent can go, forcing him into a certain action and then swooping in. Don't charge in for the ball, instead, let him run for a bit, but remove his options. Manually mark players, make him think you're going one way and then switch. Lob the ball over. Don't be afraid to make the long passes. Pass back to your defenders if you have to. Formation is important - some formations depend on lots of short passes, some depend on attacking wing play, some simply require you to lob the ball to your forwards. It might be wise finding the right formation for you (the one you're most comfortable with) and then getting used to how it plays with the players you'll be using.
Yes, you will sometimes feel that you're surrounded by a million players, but you just gotta keep pushing. Get used to the angles at which you can score and which are likely to miss. Understand how your players move, how they pass, and how they pick up passes.
Be unpredictable. I sometimes run with my Centre Backs into the centre of midfield. I make long runs and then a few short passes. I'll make crazy long balls into the heart of their defense.
And obviously, practice. Practice. Practice. ;D
There's more to it, but it should help. I don't bother with all the fancy tricks, that's for noobs who usually haven't grasped the basics. Once you've mastered them, you don't need to flick the ball around or whatever.
As for me, I play 4-1-2-1-2 and I don't let the opposition rest, even for a second. Constant pressure, lots of passing and goals driven in home.

Same, I think I play too much though
Whenever at a friends house, a fifa tourney always ends up happening.
By the way when you gonna start the league again?
For online play:
Custom formation - Back 4 as far back as they can go, a sweeper just infront of the back 4 (5 defenders total)
2 CM slightly back of mid-way
1 LW top left
1 ST far upfront as u can get
1 RS far upfront as u can get + right of ST
Set mentality to ultra-defensive
Ping lobbed through balls .. win.
