Fifa 11

[Knighta21]

Promoted again to the Npower championship, nerve racking stuff, won the promotion on penalties.

Promoted already? you and your simming
Currently 2nd in Npower league 1 behind southampton although im only 1 point behind and have 1 game in hand. Going to be close.
Have a coulpe of good young players coming through, might look at the 17 year old someone mentioned earlier for start of next transfer period.

 

[meh]

Shutup and go play the sims on PC.

I'm sitting 9th at the moment with Sunderland with about 3 quarters of the season gone. Just recently I had a stretch of games against Blackpool, Wigan and Stoke, the bottom 3 teams. 3 wins would have pushed me to the brink of the top 4, instead I copped a 2-1 loss at home against Blackpool (never giving my first choice gk a rest again, the back up Mignolet was embarassingly bad), a 0-0 draw against Wigan when it was 16 shots to 1, Danny Welbeck nearly caused me a mental breakdown with some of his misses, then Bent snagged a late goal against Stoke, only for Stoke to equalise in the 92nd minute.

Should have snagged 9 points, instead I got 2, I am ropable.

I played probably over half this season and played the final promotion round. The season goes for 43 games, simming is a must.

What the ****? They were supposed to improve the penalties in this game. After busting a bloody nut in a 1-1 draw, I do penalties for the first time and wow, they're even worse than before. Simply hitting the ball on target shouldn't be so damn hard, if you don't get the dot in the green zone, your player overpowers the shit out of it and because the dot moves so fast and the green part is so small, it makes something as easy as hitting a penalty on target hard as ****.

Not the best but hardly terrible. Only bashed the penalties, which are flawed.

Didn't see any green zone no matter how much I moved the left stick. I try to picture where it is but players just bomb it.

Again, not from what I played.

Pretty sure I just realised why you were so shit at Penalties...

WATCH THE TUTORIALS PEOPLES!

How can anyone expect to just 'know' a system without getting any idea on how it works?

My bet GB is that you somehow thought that the composure bar along the bottom was the aimer and that you were constantly hitting it in the red to pop it in the side of the goal, thus the 'overpowered shots' all the time. I'm right aren't I?

I FINALLY scored a free kick last night. 87 minute with the score 0-0 and on a run of a few draws desperately needing a win, my Virtual Pro steps up to curl it home from 30 yards out. Stoked that you can save replays to the hard drive now.

Bit disappointed in Free Kicks this year. They've changed up the ratio of curl to power, etc. You seem to not be able to smash home a goal as well as FIFA 10 (or even better FIFA WC). I had it down to an art in FIFA WC to the point that if I had a free kick near the penalty box you could just about count it a goal. Now I seem to be curling a lot away from the goals or just smashing it into the wall a lot.

Need to practice up a bit more in the arena I think. But it doesn't seem to be as good as it was in FIFA WC.

Are you that stupid? I've at least tried penalties in kickouts before and it's blatantly obvious you're supposed to hit the dot in the green zone. The problem is there is no way to tell where I'm kicking it. I don't see the green spot on the goals to help my aim so I just tilt the left stick slightly in the direction I want to kick the ball but even with the slightest tap of the circle button as close to the green zone as possible, wham, either hit it way left or way high.

Just scored this. Enjoyed it very much.

Oh wow really? You want it to be that easy?

OK, you're just crap. Seriously.

Honestly you seem to have no idea what you're doing. In the arena you can hold L2 I believe it is to spot up the circle and help you know how fast it moves, etc. 5 minutes in the arena practising and bang you know how to do it.

In about 20+ penalty shootouts online I have not lost one...

 

[RYZA!]

Ok can someone tell me why I can't add my virtualpro to manager mode? And why in player-manger at the end of a season you only get offers to be a manager from other clubs. It's driving me insane.

I liked it in FIFA 10 where you could add your virtual pro to the team you were going to play with, and when you change clubs they follow you. Why the hell would they take it out.

If this has been mentioned I apologize. Btw I do love the game and the challenge on legendary. It's just ticks me off that I can't seem to do this.

Lol good effort, I don't have that much time so I do around 50-50.

No, the fact is, it should be a lot simpler than it is, you elitist twat.

I have a damn good idea what I'm doing and plain and simple, it doesn't work. Couldn't care less whether or not it works for you because it hasn't worked well for me at all. I've already figured out a solution though. Save before every qualifier/cup match and if it goes to penalties, reset and as for online, always vote 'draw' at the end of a drawn game.

Move on.

 

[AG]

This thread has become highly amusing. GrandBlue v HBK on penalties and that guy struggling with his pc. Funny stuff.

I'll get the game next week so I'll see how I stack up against some of the BF guys.

 

[r dub 19]

LOL if you can't beat HBK you're really struggling.

lol mate ur just crap. penalties in FIFA WC and FIFA 11 are a massive improvement on previous games.

do the tutorial a couple of times and practice in the arena. you'll work it out soon enough.

 

[Zarrix]

Once you get used to it, the penalty system is perfect in my opinion. Different skill levels for different players, all the aspects are there.

Had a good game last night as well, was 1-0 up (I was Everton playing United) , and the opponent got me on the counter with about 10 to go, as a last ditch attempt, I gave up a penalty by slide tackling him. I only got a yellow card (NFI why, umpires are rubbish in this game) and he skied his penalty. In injury time, he tied it all up due to a lucky deflection from a free kick. I started the game again, and decided to take a pot shot a long way from goal. The goalie knocked it back into the goal, I win.

That guy would have been fuming

Also 6th in my EPL tournament on World Class. Darn hard to score goals though, maybe for once, longer games do provide a greater reflection.

Are you holding your left thumbstick (aimer) from when you press shoot until the shot is taken? By aiming for longer the wider the shot goes, just like the longer you hold in shoot the harder the shot is taken. Try aiming for half the time you currently are.

 

[clivenator26]

the pennos in fifa 11 are great, it takes a little bit of skill, the keeper saves also require a bit of skill too. my first shootout i lost because all i could do was aim straight, went & practised then won me next shootout.

but has anyone noticed when playing online the lag makes it a bit harder, you have to press the button a bit earlier to land in the green or is this just my connection?

 

[C-Dog]

Um so was 15-2 online and after my last match the stats said I was back to level 1 and that my record was 1-0. WTF?

Found all this stuff on E.A about people building up unfairly and stuff somehow. Can't be bothered reading into it. Just annoyed I lost my record.

Yep, we can move on. You suck at penalties, it is decided.

The only thing wrong with the penalty system is that online with lag it can become a bit tough to work it, but then you can just adjust and hit the button earlier. Seriously, the system is perfect otherwise, you obviously just have no idea what you're doing. Again, look at the tutorials (which you have not done, CLEARLY) and then go play in the Arena trying out the penalties and hold the L2 button to find the aimer and get used to how it moves and works through the red, yellow and green areas as well as various power shots too. It is not a flawed system, you are a flawed player who thinks it's wrong.

 

[Seriously]

Promoted already? you and your simming
Currently 2nd in Npower league 1 behind southampton although im only 1 point behind and have 1 game in hand. Going to be close.
Have a coulpe of good young players coming through, might look at the 17 year old someone mentioned earlier for start of next transfer period.

His last name is Lukaku, and unless you have a spare $10 mill and $22,000 in the wages I wouldn't try and get him.

 

[RickSanchez]

I thought it was Roman Lukaku unless there is another guy named Kukaku who is good.

Doesnt he have a younger brother? Jordan?
