*** Official FIFA 11 Thread ***

Are there still going to be differences between the 360/PS3 and the PC? the list in the OP suggests that the ones with "(360 & PS3)" at the end aren't included on the PC, is this true?

If it is i think i'll cancel my pre order and get the 360 version :(
 
I just went online, head to head, my default team was Arsenal, some guy joined who's default team was Brentford, he immediately switched to Real Madrid. I would've picked a 1 1/2 or a 2 star team if he'd given me the chance. :/

In my past 15 games I've only played Real or Barca, it's ridiculous.

do you have a headset?

if you do, have you ever thought of using it? the other guy may decide to change back if you told him what you wanted to do or were going to do. he may not have a headset but if 1 of you does then you might get some more variety.

the pc version always lacks something, this game is made for consoles as that is their primary target market, it is then ported to pc.

are you using a controller? because i dont know how you could play this game using a mouse and keyboard
 
why didnt you pick a 1 1/2 or 2 star team then, and wait to see if he followed suite?
Im forever doing this with people and getting allsorts of games, people picking barnsley and leeds quite often.

When I saw he was Brentford I picked Cardiff while he was in the middle of changing to Real Madrid, but he didn't change back. :(

In the past 200 games I've only played against Real, Chelsea, Barca or Inter.

The few occasions I've tried choosing a lower star team, the other person just leaves.

I think Sonny plays a different game to the rest of us the way he goes on. :p

Exactly, and I've also found that the gulf in class between the other teams and Barca is absolutely ridiculous. This game has balancing issues for sure.
 
Real Madrid can be pretty stupid too, the amount of pace and shooting ability you have upfront if you get Kaka, Ronaldo and Higuain with 'good morale' is insane.

And people wonder why I never play 1v1 online - its like constantly playing deathmatch on a FPS - just so boring...

Well i have 9 and 10 on the 360, i was thinking of getting this one for the PC but if it's lacking something then i won't bother, i was intending to use a controller.

PC version is based on FIFA10+WC2010 next gen, don't think it has pro passing and personality plus....it's a step in the right direction though, glad we don't have to put up with that godawful PS2-era engine anymore :D
 
:p

you cant have both realism and balance. messi is always going to be faster than any defender thats what makes it realistic.

the only way to do this would be if you both picked the same teams.

barca vs barca.

or if they could implement a different online world in which all the players had the same attributes, therefore messi had the same pace, turning and shooting as every other player. so both teams are even and just the names and appearances are different. this would then show who is truly the best as everyone is on a level playing field.

the top teams in the game are, inter, barca, chelsea, real madrid, brazil and spain. which is realistic because thats how its like in real life.

this is how the game will always be, the best teams in the world will be better than the rest.
 
I'm not expecting them to tone down attributes of certain players to make the game more balanced, but the simple fact is Messi will NOT always beat every defender or be faster than them. Take their weekend match against Hercules where they completely contained Messi and won 2-0, you cannot do this in FIFA. It doesn't matter what setup you use, if you pick Barcelona and the other team is anyone else then they are already at a disadvantage, that isn't like real life at all. Realistically Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Athletico, Milan, Inter, if they played a game against Barca then Barca wouldn't be the all out favourites to win, which in FIFA is absolutely the case, I've played against someone who's thrashed me by a 3 or 4 goal margin, offered a rematch, picked Barcelona and battered them, the team is too unbalanced. Dani Alves is impossible for anyone to get past, which isn't realistic at all. There's just too many things that need balancing at the moment, and for God's sake I hope they fix the retarded rebounds in this game.

When was the last time we saw the ball bounce off the goalie when he slides for the ball? And when was the last time in real life we saw the ball bounce off the keeper and straight into an opposing player where they just walk it into the net? In the Premier League that's a very rare thing which happens pretty much next to never, in FIFA these dodgy rebounds happen all the time, the tackling needs to be fixed as it seems to favour dirty players who slide, if you run in and press circle/B to tackle then you're more likely to just have the ball wildly bounce into the ball carrier while they continue their attack. It's pathetic and these lucky rebounds and bounces seem to happen much more frequently with Barca than anyone else. While I doubt the existence of the morale attribute it wouldn't surprise me if EA had implemented it so that certain teams get a lot more lucky bounces than anyone else.
 
the game favours faster players and the taller you are the stronger you are.

thats why alves is impossible to get past, he is fast.

that is why messi is so good he is fast.

that is why before the updates, ibrahimovic was god. he was both tall and fast, he brushed aside 2 defenders at a time then shot from anywhere and it rocketed in.

they then put his speed down a hell of a lot and it showed, he went from being the best striker in the game, to not even getting a starting place in my barca team.

Henry - Messi

Xavi

Pedro - Iniesta

Toure

4-1-2-1-2 formation

i moved these players about depending on the team i played, sometimes henry up front or CAM or LM with messi as CAM or RM, xavi as RM or LM and iniesta as LM or CAM.

the team is very versatile. i prefer speedy players so even use Bojan, Henry has stamina issues so usually gets subbed at 60 mins or benched and used as a sub with ibrahimovich or bojan.

when i do make a sub, i usually rotate players about too i never make a straight swap. the players are used to suit my style and sometimes i move them about to maximise their use to my style.

for example to the above team i would sub Henry for Ibrahimovich and Pedro for Bojan. I would then put iniesta to LM, Xavi to RM and Messi to CAM. Bojan would then play up front with Ibro.

i think thats why they are so strong, most of their players can play anywhere and some of them are unbelievably fast.
 
I also prefer fast players, but then you get them with low morale, and they get chased down and tackled by every man and his dog, this is what annoys me :p

I've actually noticed the morale issue is more potent on the WC game, I hope it doesn't get even worse with FIFA 11 :(

i havent played WC so i dont know how it plays, i played the demo once and felt it like a beta release. morale is very clear when playing offline 1v1 against a mate, clearer than online, so i think they may limit some of its features online or how effective it is.

i dont think this will ever be removed but you may get the option to disable it if enough people complained.
 
What I don't understand is that in previous FIFA games you could see the morale by pressing R1/L1 when you make changes to the teamsheet. Why would they still keep the morale system but remove it from view? That's what leads me to believe it might be BS.
 
So are people slowly coming round to the idea that it is morale that is happening online, but it's just very broken and happens at random points in an online 1v1 game?

did you read any of my previous posts on the subject?

it is to make it more realistic.

does any football manager in the world know before a match whether or not a player is going to have a good game or not before the match has started?

did mancini know hart was going to have a stinker and set up the opposing team this weekend? and instead should have played Given?

no he didnt, so why should you know this before the game? thats why they removed it, so just like in real life, if your player has a stinker of a game you can decide to either sub him or keep him.
 
Yes I read your posts, I just don't believe them. I'm not a retard so don't try and patronise me. I've played FIFA since FIFA 95 on the Mega Drive so if anyone is qualified to talk about the game then it's me. I don't believe they've taken a feature that has been present in multiple editions of FIFA and then hidden it but still kept it in game. I don't know who you are but unless you work for EA Sports then you have absolutely no better idea than I do about whether the morale feature is in game, and I'm sick of you repeating the same post over and over, I can read, thank you. :rolleyes:
