Fifa 11

[r dub 19]

I think you need to play a PC game or two before you think those graphics aren't outdated.

I'm not talking so much about the main broadcast angle, when the players are that small it is hard (although PES on the PC looked better about 4 years ago) but any of the cutscenes that aren't about 2 metres away from the player are pretty bad. The stadium looks jaggy and horrible, as do the crowd.

The 360 has had a good run but it's time to be moved on. It's running on a 7000 series graphics card...

If it wasn't for xbox most games would have a lot better graphics.

You are going to have a crack at Be a Keeper? Let us know how you go mate.. I don't think I could play a whole season let alone a career as a keeper. It will be interesting to see how tough it is and whether a slight error (early button press?) results in a goal.

Played about 3 games of it with Blackpool. Went for a lesser known team so I can work my way up. Really good but you barely see the ball. Its a game of patience IMO. Awesome mode and have been waiting for it for a long time. This FIFA is the best yet.

Well I've played two games so far and not let one in but I think that was more the defence in front of me than anything I did. It is good though, you can sort of control where people pass up the park. You aren't always out of the game like I thought you would be.

any tips on how to beat the keeper one on one?...i seem to have a lil bit of trouble with this.

i can't seem to keep the ball low when shooting hard/faster either....basically just have to be content with what seems to me an average shot with a quick double tap of square quickly? (alternate control setting)
am i doing something wrong or is there a certain way to do it?

was playing on amateur for about 4-5 matches and i won all of them starting off with only one or two goals each match but then the last 3 were complete blowouts like 4, 5, 6-0 so i bumped it up to semi pro and instantly felt the gameplay being more rewarding even though it's only equivalent to normal? difficulty
for the record i won that 1-0 and was stoked but couldn't seem to beat the keeper in my limited opportunities...my only score was a rebound off the goalie to an open man which was slotted through without resistance

lol everyone still goes barca and real madrid online

Good game, not sure why i am not playing it heaps. Had it since 9 this morning, nothing to do today and only played 4 games. Well to be fair I created a team. Tried to get the chants/themes to work....i did but i don't reckon it's a very good system at the moment.

For xbox you gotta burn it onto a CD as an audio, rip it on the xbox, save it to a playlist then open up the play list in the options. But the thing is, you got a bunch of songs as a playlist, i was hoping to choose a particular song to come on when i score and shit. It's like random so i have like weird chants go off. Probably have to make separate play lists. Ahh well, i reckon it's something you'll be like "ah this is cool!" for a few weeks then be like "kk over it".

Does anyone else find the tackling to be utterly abysmal? It's WAY too easy to walk up to a player and pick their pocket. I'm playing on Professional, but apparently it's still a problem on World Class.

Posession changes hands way too quickly and easily for mine. Thoughts?

Yeah I have noticed that. I'm usually a terrible tackler, yet I seem to be taking away everything from the opposition

 

[r dub 19]

Lads its pretty simple. It's easy to do everything on modes other than legendary.

I'm going to start my online career. Feels nervous man.

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

Played 5 games so far, damn good. Will keep me going for sometime I think. Good that I've been able to get Everton off to a better start in the Premier League season than in RL .

I like the passing too, compared to the WC. Feels much more realistic. Goals are a bit harder to come by I feel though. Five games have been 1-0, 1-1, 2-2, 1-0 and 2-0. Accounts for my horrible defensive frailties a little better.

I hope that I can get good enough to compete online, and also sufficient latency.

7 games in I'm sitting 18th with the Toffees. Realism hits new heights!

This is the help from one of the links earlier with the chants (it sounds WAY easier to do on PS3).

For Xbox 360 users:

1. Burn the chants/themes onto a cd

2. You will need to make the CD a "Audio CD", otherwise you will not be able to copy the files to your HD.
Be advised, burning the CDs as "audio", means that you'll need more than one cd, as most programs won't let you write more than "a given number" of tracks on the cd.
So even though you'll have more than enough space in terms of MB, you won't be able to finish the cd if you have to many files.

3. To then make a custom soundtrack, go here: http://www.ehow.com/how_2071060_custom-soundtracks-xbox.html

If still confused read FIFA11 manual for instructions on how assign individual audio to relevant teams.

better now in that hitting square doesnt always mean a slide tackle. found that it sometimes resulted in throwing out a leg....

 

[meh]

Had a few games today, the gameplay seemed different, but was hard to put my finger on the changes. A fantastic addition is for multiple players to celebrate, I had a player who wasn't even involved involved in the lead up play run to a different section of the crowd and do the 'Tevez' dance , while the majority of the team celebrated with the scorer.

anyone up for a game on ps3?

psn id is m4tt4m4t4z

 

[Danog]

Jeez, these people in team play online are morons. Same people get pinged for offside at least 6 times each.

 

[robbo127]

Chip the keeper!
Or Finesse shot around him!

 

[RickSanchez]

The computer/AI are the biggest ******s on BAP.

Probably stick to manager mode.

Any one playing on 360?

My gamer tag is Jimmyjames127 if thats how you add people?

Picked up my copy for Xbox this afternoon and I'm definitely in love. I like starting career mode with a team just below Barclays to work them up and trade good players into the team. Seeing as Newcastle have been elevated, I've gone with Ipswitch Town this year for the hell of it. So far I've gone 1-1, 1-1, 2-1, 2-1. I'm slowly getting better!

The tackling is insane. It's irritating how easy you lose/win the ball one-on-one but I see it as a new challenge. I'm working on my formation and tactics to work the ball around the defenders.

Haven't played online yet, probably won't tonight.

Do you think it's realistic though?

The biggest tip I can offer is stepping either left or right of the keeper (depending on where you are) to open the gap between the keep and the post. Then it's as simple as finessing it into the back of the net.

This game has a lot fewer opportunities to score unlike the other FIFA games which I'm surprisingly enjoying. Winning 10-0 time after time gets boring.

 

[Beloved]

Do you think it's realistic though?

Yes and no. No matter how many stars your team is, the players always seem to be able to tackle. What I do like however is that depending on the quality of the team/player, some players will fall or stumble before being able to try and gain possession. In a sense it's unrealistic but in another, it's not. It's one of those personal judgments as to whether it's realistic to you personally or not.
