So IGN have had a first look at Fifa 11, I expect to hear and see more at E3 but it looks promising, although I am wary after how they said Fifa 10 would be.

Rutter

Rutter presents the FIFA team's development tracker, a daunting list of forum feedback that's being implemented in the game. It's utterly exhaustive and seemingly endless, and if you've ever had a problem with FIFA or cursed at any of its imperfections it's highly likely you're covered in this list, and the repercussions of the feedback to FIFA 10 range from the subtle – retiming tackle animations or adding different sock lengths – to the positively game changing.

I had high hopes for Fifa 10, but it didn't live upto those hopes, here's hoping Fifa 11 is the game I was holding out for.

Full story
 
I'm really hoping the manager mode has a bit more depth this time round and it's actually possible to sign players with a lower league club. I got Carlisle to the Premier League, won it but I still couldn't sign anyone as I didn't have enough wage budget even though I had tonnes of cash!
 
I'll read through that list in a bit, I want to see the following though:

More leagues, Russian, Ukrainian, or at least have the main teams in the Rest of the World section.

Full overhaul of Manager Mode, make it a worthwhile play with some depth, not just a tacked on afterthought.

New menu's, the ones we have are just the same as last year with some spit and polish.

Better soundtracks like in the old Fifa games, we seem to have all this "Brazillian" rubbish and I've actually resorted to muting the ingame music altogether, have a look at NHL for how music SHOULD be done.

Better referees, I can't stress this enough, there are so many aspects that need fixing, offsides, fouls in the box in particular for example, a foul committed with the circle/B button is a foul anwhere else on the pitch but if the same foul is commited in the box then you don't get a penalty. In short, you should get a penalty for things other than ONLY slide tackles.

Improve the free kicks, give us back the things like in 2004 where you get the graphic of a ball in the bottom corner and you use the right stick to choose where to hit the ball, that would allow better precision.

LIVE Season should be free.

Make the generic players in Fifa Club better, or at least make them all have the same stats for eg 70 OVR. At the moment we are having 5,6" GK's and stupidly tall LB and RB's, it's totally unrealistic and useless against human opponents.

Get rid of the stupidly long throw ins and their associated glitches. Give it to the players who in real life DO actually throw that far on a regular basis, DO NOT let it be unlockable for every single online player because it ruins a lot of games with the glitch goals that it enables.

Make penalties more complex, give us more options.

More real stadiums, we want to see the proper things not "Olympico Generico" which, I **** you not is actually a name of a stadium in this game.

Didier Drogba is strong, but he's not THAT strong, make players such as him, Rooney, Ibrahimovic etc less strong, it's ridiculous at the moment, through ball to Drogba, he pushes 3 defenders away and scores a goal. Unrealistic.

More boots, why does Diaby, Eduardo, Modric etc have white Nike superfly's but I can't put them on my VP? Doesn't make sense.

Give us an option to have our saved custom formations available by default for online head to head games without us having to mess around with everything, also allow us to use custom build up tactics online as well, I don't see why it isn't included online atm.

Goalkeepers need to be better, they don't rush out of the net like their arse is on fire in real life, so why do they do it in Fifa?

Make the right stick first touch actually usable in Fifa Club. At the moment no matter how **** the generic defenders are, you nudge the right stick upon receiving the ball and they suddenly turn into a mixture of Usain Bolt and Mike Tyson, showing amazing power and sprint speed to push infront of you and get the ball every single time.

Get rid of the glitch goals, in particular the angle and 3 quarter power while holding R1/RB.

That's all I can think of at the moment but I know there's much more.
 
The one thing out of everything I want sorting is handicapping.

I do not expect to have my team go from 5 star (Liverpool, Chelsea Man Utd, Barca, Real Madrid) to a 1 star team that cannot even pass the ball to each other.

Please remove any form of game helping/hindering and let two people play against each other, if I get white washed fair enough, at least I know I was bad and the other player better, I do not expect to get beaten by stupid AI/hinderance from the CPU in an online game.
 
My main beef with Fifa 10 is the goalkeepers they are so awful it is unbelievable.

Even when you double tap the (Y) button to get him to stay on the line he still comes half a mile out & gets chipped!
 
Try the penalties in the World Cup game, its quite a nice change and I hope they keep this new system they have for FIFA 11.
 
One thing that anoyed me and was totaly useless was when a player gets injured in manager mode, they are back playing the next match!! Whats the point of that, if they are injured then they should be out for at least 1 or 2 games (to make it more authentic i mean). The Ref's are one sided, i push somone off the ball and it gets called a foul, they chop me down, trip me up and pester my players and i get nothing!!
 
"Fifa 11 First Look" - early indications suggest it looks like Fifa 10. The game's title proclaims it to be the same game released year after year, why the hell would you continue to pay full price for it? Just think how much crack you could buy for £45.
 
Doing seasons on legendary, the AI is boring, they run down the wing (right on the line so soon as you touch em throw in) cross. again and again

Same for everyone else?
 
Have to admit I prefer PES2010 over Fifa 10. Fifa is the better game of football, however, I don't actually like football that much and PES just gives more instant satisfaction and goal to goal play so every match is exciting.

I find Fifa a much slower build up of play but as I only play socially with mates PES gets us going from the start :D

Hoping Fifa 11 will get me more into it, I like Fifa 10 but its a bit too slow for me.
 
That better be a joke you gaybo, because I'm not buying that steaming pile of ****. :p

I might buy FIFA as well for club purposes.



I've always preferred PES. (Still use PES style controls on FIFA :p) Goals are earned rather than gifted. Never been even half as frustrated playing PES as I get when playing FIFA. :p


An early beta video of the new PES was leaked the other day and it looks quite good. Hope they've sorted the online.

I was always a PES man (still use PES controls like you :p ) but FIFA is streets ahead at the moment, I may give the new one a try but I'm still expecting FIFA will get my preorder.
