Fifa 11 [Multi]

[Ajay1986]

This game is sooooooo much better than FIFA 10 online I love it. It plays so much smoother and the AI defenders are much better than last years. I scored a couple more great goals with Wolfsburg including a cool diving header but the sore loser I was playing ended up quitting so I couldn't save them.

I haven't touched any single player stuff but I never do in football games.

It's definitely a smoother and faster loading experience on Xbox.

Shame as PS3 is usually my format of choice.

Loving the changes from Fifa 10 (didn't get the WC sku). While the skills and dribbling commands remain, the ball control and measure pace of the game allows for you to get past players without needing them. The league presentation is a big improvement as well.

Having a love hate relationship with the game over the last few days, but I must admit, it's mostly love.

Had some great 2v2 matches today in work during dinner (we play every dinner break). Some really tight entertaining matches. Good stuff.

One of my best so far, great passing move and just about onside for my virtual pro to slot home.

Finally whacked this on last night & kicked off my career as Player Manage for the mighty Southend

Only had time for 2 friendlies so far because setting up took ages & the NFL was getting ready to start but I'm suitably impressed with the feel of the game so far, very free flowing & some cracking build up play with lots of midfield action, it just seems more like the games on telly.

Looks amazing as well I like the little stats that come up under the scores & some of the new animations are great.

I do feel a little let down by the new career mode though...I prefer the way that 10 had the manager mode, felt like I was more in control of things.
Like the presentation though with the news stories mid screen that's a nice addition.

Haven't managed to score yet but came close a couple of times, with a cracking near miss from an amazing diving header from Anthony Grant but I'm loving it so far, will definitely take some getting used to again though.

Really looking forward to getting some more time with it over the next few nights.

Don't usually use 5* teams online but heres a couple of goals I scored online with Chelsea, a little bit gutted about the small replays because both goals had great passing build up.

Nice goals Ajay, certainly the turn inside for the first.

Here is a fav of mine at the mo. Scored on Legendary.

Hoolak, and any others. If you want to download my Japan team, go to easportsfootballworld/creationcentre. You need an account linked to your console for it to work.
Then go to more teams near the bottom where all of the user teams are. On the next page there will be an option to search. Japan is the name and the creator is nakamuramartin. Click on the emblem then select bookmark team and it will be ready to download via the creation centre in the game.

Bloody hell, mate! That's amazing. Just downloaded it now. The amount of work you must have put in to do that is brilliant!!

Thanks very much!

Bit early for a 1/10 score isn't, Kenji?

No problem pal, pretty pleased with how they came out. The roster will be updated over the next week also. If you pop into creation centre it will tell you when there is an update. Kagawa for example was only added today.
Took me 6 hours or so to do.

Here are the fruits of my labour, a sweet strike with Honda.

I've come across few problems when playing it I've now got to the point that I'm beginning to hate it.

I find it frustrating at being disconnected from EA Server?s after playing a match EA should have had this up and running right from day one, any kind of netcode issue shouldn?t be happening.

On many occasions I?ve had the game stutter and pause for a second or two on me when playing a match. These games have been offline matches so it?s not a lag issue. At first I thought it was a problem with the game being read from a disk so I installed to my hard disk and it?s still happening >_<

But the biggest problem for me is career mode as a player with your virtual pro, I find it really frustrating when you get dropped from the first team for putting a poor performance in and then you have to sim games till you get your chance again. I would thought if you got dropped from the first team you drop back into the reserve?s so you can keep developing your player.

Those and a few issues I?ve found are my reason for giving it a 1, if PES 2011 as the same kind of problems then that will get a 1 out 10 as well.

Damn shame. Tonight I've experienced a very poor service when it comes to clubs online

We're having constant voice chat problems i.e. Warbly gobbledy-gook sounds from 1 or 2 of my team, or just no sound at all. I've seen members of my club appear on the opposing team in the match lobby. The odd disconnection from EA servers. Topped off with lag.

Hope EA doing something about it.

Just tried to get a online game for 20 minutes before work this morning and no joy at all. Considering I just spent &#163;25 on XBL just for this, &#163;35 for the game and have 50 mb broadband with the router in the same room as the xbox I've had enough. In the past four days I have managed to play 5 online matches, that is about a 10&#37; successful connection rate which is pathetic.

CEX are offering &#163;30 cash for this at the moment and that is where it is going this afternoon.

I understand that as games get more complex patches & updates are necessary, but to release something so utterly broken is ridiculous.

Finally the less said about the transfer system in the manager mode the better (and yet off I go). I loaned Gibbs from Arsenal, he had a good season with me so tried to buy him the following year, only to be told he had only just moved to Arsenal and wouldn't consider moving anywhere else.
Then tried to buy Muller from FC Bayern, had my offer accepted by the club, offered him &#163;15000 extra a week only to be told he was insulted by my offer and wouldn't talk to me again for a year.
I know I'm playing as Everton, but surely I don't deserve this sort of treatment. Real life is hard enough for Everton fans at the moment!

Basically made the crap system in 10 worse, quite an achievement.

The online is certainly a pain. It is making me looka fool with my 9/10 score at the moment. EA apparently are fixing it as we speak. Lets see eh.

I have no problem at all with 1v1 on the xbox, works as smooth as offline. It is clubs where there is a problem.

Userfailed, do you know you can play as your pro in Player Manager mode? You are the managed so you can pop him into the team on each match and before a match starts you can choose to control the whole team with your pro, or just your pro.
