*** Official FIFA 11 Thread ***

Cant wait for this, cant believe its out on Friday, no pre order yet.

Are you getting pro evo as well or have you gone off that now?

Agreed. Seems an unbiased review and the improvements mentioned seem like they make a big difference. to think I was happy with the demo. :D

Yeah, I loved the demo but I wondered if it was the final build or not, it seems not, so it gets.... better :eek:
 
Im going to have to be a Defender for a while to get my Power Header feat...not looking forward to this, especially as we play down the wings and cross a lot.

Accomplishments looking good this year, should take a fare while to rattle through the majority of the 400.
 
Wait! I thought you said the first thing you do is take a shot directly from kick off to see if the morale is against you... :rolleyes:

Yea I stopped doing that as it got boring but i still do if my players feel slow to turn and simple passes get sent straight to the opposition for no reason.
 
At least it has created debate...

I dont consider myself to have an unfair advantage over anyone who plays me, because they have the very same options as I do, Im not manipulating cfg's, Im not hitting my shots using a footy aimbot, so I fail to see the problem!!.

To be honest as Psycho himself says, and let me get this straight.. most of the people he plays use custom formations, so when "those lamers" do it, he does it, but he is not a lamer because he is only doing it because they are :D Classic!! Thats why we all do it mate!!!....lol :cool:

Psycho Sonny add me, put 5 at the back and see if I dont score against you.... I dont consider myself godlike, merely average.. so lets put it to the test mate!!.. I hope that doesn't come across as arrogant, its not mean't to be. I would like you to prove that 5 at the back is impenetrable..

What about the things you don't see, have you heard of the "Supreme tactic".. some people love it, maybe it works, maybe the placebo effect makes them play better.. how about aggression and pressure abusers, these things you are not privvy too as they are hidden from your opponent. In the case of C64 maybe thats a good thing otherwise the poor fella wouldn't get a game!!

I don't consider myself a good player and I have expressed as much previously, but I do consider myself to be a good competitor, a humble winner and a gracious loser.

Having said that they still only have 10 players to use - the same as you. Try and think up ways of countering their formation.
.

Absolutely right mate!!

I can see your point, using 5-1-4 is pretty lame simply because it isn't a formation that any sane football manager would ever use in real life. Fifa is meant to be a football sim now rather than an arcade-style football game so that sort of formation shouldn't give you an advantage. As some have said, it's similar to people boosting in COD, it's not how the game should be played and is lame.

LOL Fifa a sim, if football in real life was this good I would renew my season ticket.. when in the last time you saw Ashely Cole smash it into the top corner for England from 35 yards. ... no mate, thats where people have got it all wrong, its an arcade game.. that has elements of realism, if FIFA is a sim so is MW2


BTW I could move ONE of my players ONE notch forward and have 4-2-4.. Brazil's formation!!.. I just have my defensive midfielder sitting in that hole!!!:cool: and in real football that's what would happen when you where being attacked, your defensive midfielder would sit in that hole... but seen as it only takes only one throughball from a defender to wipe out a hole defensive line (which is also completely unrealistic for you people who think its a sim) I choose to leave him there!!

Out of interest ScottFree (and any other people who have their own methods), what is the formation you use? Could you explain it in a little bit of detail? :)

I will have to give it a try on the WC game and FIFA 10 before Friday I think, as I normally just go with the default formations.
 
Yeah sure mate...


...............................James

Johnson...........Terry.............Ferdi.................Cole

................................Barry



................................Lamps

Gerrard........................................................Lennon

....................Defoe
.............................................Roon


I also play 5-2-1-2 which is a regular formation, play with a "1 star" team in the world cup, select this formation, select counter attack and go beat the Spain Brazil Argentina and England (myself incl) lamerZz

9.5 on IGN.

FIFA 11 doesn’t redefine the football game, nor does it bring with it bold or surprising ways to play. What it does, however, is refine an already superlative game, taking nearly every aspect and polishing it to help create a whole that’s notably superior to its predecessors. It’s excellence, not innovation, that wins out, and that’s surely no bad thing; for the next twelve months at least this is likely to be the best football experience available, and FIFA’s looking like retaining its crown in convincing fashion.
