"FIFA11"

No doubt this will set records again once it is released on October 1st, it surprises me there have been no threads about this yet.

From all the hype and blurb released so far, it seems the big changes this year include an update to the passing system, making it more 'skill based', improved player personality and goalkeeping plus the option to turn on handballs.

If the handball option is done properly it could turn out to be a great addition.

Although, personally I wont be buying this straight off as Football Manager is due to be released around the same, along with the WoW expansion.

Change the controls in the options menu??

Lol well on the demo you can't. Presumably in the full game you can, but I didn't want to presume you can. If you can, that's great :D

For some crazy reason, I'm really tempted by Black Ops. I've got MW2 and haven't played it in at least 3 months (though I'm tempted to have a quick play soon), I quite liked the game though back when I was playing it daily. I'll hopefully come to my senses and save myself £40 odd.

The only games definitely on my 'to buy' list for the next couple of months are Football Manager 2011 and NBA 2K11. Though I'm tempted to pick up Fallout 3, GT5 and Black Ops.

I feel we're straying from the subject here so:

something about FIFA11 blah red card andy gray blah.

You can if you do it while in game.

I'm of a completely different opinion to you guys, I much prefer the FIFA demo over the Pro Evo one. The new passing system actually rewards skill and judgement over the ability to ping-pong the ball through your entire team.

If you actually watch the players and play them for a decent amount of time you will notice the 'Personality+' traits for the big players. Messi and Ronaldo both look and feel unique, which is a great improvement.

Saying that though, I still have no interest in purchasing either of these games any time soon.

I prefer Fifa to Pro Evo. I don't like the movement in Pro Evo. The only problem I have with Fifa at the moment is the same recycled commentary from 4 years ago.

I was thinking the same, until I played World Cup 2010 and was subjected to Andy Townsend. By the end of the Summer I was pining for Tyler and Gray!

I don't know why they can't just have a diversity of english commentators. That would be far better.

Just turn off the commentary and do your own... just like in the good ol' days.

Heh, I changed the commentary on my Fifa 09 to Dutch and I can't say I've heard them overuse many phrases, although that could be down to the fact that I don't speak Dutch.
