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.

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.

You should learn, it can't be that difficult if Steve McClaren did it...

Pleasantly suprised when a penalty was given after a pressure. That was a major gripe with 10.

Got to say guys, I've played the demo and the full version of the game now and I've got to say that its pretty darn tootin' good!

Game looks much more real, animations are more fluid which makes the game feel much better. Celebrations seem a bit odd, every goal is celebrated like its the last minute goal in the world cup...

I hope hey improve penalties in future and don't stick with this new system, seems a bit too complicated for just a penalty.

Thought I'd revive this thread. FIFA 11 has finally seen me go up to World Class difficulty for the first time ever since playing FIFA. Am 4th in the premier league half way through the season, into the League Cup Final against Chelsea, and am making my way through the knockouts in the FA Cup.

Oh god that felt harsh (not much need to bring this thread back from the dead again but oh well)

Started playing online ranked games tonight, just finished the last one i'm playing tonight:

Manchester City 4 - 1 Manchester United (AET)

45' - Rooney
71' - Dzeko (it's goals like this when I wish I was in control of my EA online account ¬_¬)
97' - David Silva (pen)
102' - Dzeko
120' - Wright Phillips

and to top it off

108' - Rooney Inj. :P

I'll be honest, it was not by any stretch of the imagination a 4-1 game, but, still...felt good haha

Just done a little experiment whilst trying to get my Virtual Pro's stats up:

Played three matches, same teams, same times, different difficulties:

Manchester City 4 - 1 Macclesfield (World Class)
Manchester City 4 - 0 Macclesfield (Semi-Pro)
Manchester City 7 - 0 Macclesfield (Legendary)

The difficulty I found hardest to actually break down in the end was Semi-Pro. The lack of defensive aggression actually meant it was difficult for me to work around them, and it wasn't until the second half when I broke them down.

Legendary...they just broke apart, I managed to score 5 with my Virtual Pro, including a first ever free-kick goal.

Not sure whether it's to do with a certain amount of arrogance or complacency or whatever playing against lower difficulties but it does not seem to ever go well.

I noticed this too. Although I am not really good enough to play on world class.

I always play a new FIFA on semi when I first get it (as I've normally taken a break). After a few games I get back in and up it to pro.

I find legendary (on the odd occasion I play on it) to be easier ( or on par) with pro in some cases. Most of my goals come from breaking down the wings, and they just don't seem to like moving from almost wing sweepers on the less than high difficulties.

Yeah, I think it's something to do with the fact that counter-attacking play tends to be the most effective on FIFA, and that, on lower levels, it's near impossible to do it until they're chasing the lead. Whereas on higher difficulties, this isn't the case, so whilst they carry a much more potent attacking threat, actually getting to the goal yourself is easier.

EDIT: In regards to online play, I hate rage-quitters

Quite amusing. At the end of a half, you still have control over the players. As all mature people will do, the immediate reaction is to snap the closest person with a sliding tackle.

What I was unaware of, is that whilst this is not part of the play, and so is not disciplinable, injuries can still occur. As such, in the match I'm currently playing, Scholes had to be taken off injured due to a rousing tackle by David Silva after the half time whistle.

What was even more amusing was that after the substitution, at the end of the first passage of play, Scholes was shown on the floor, injured and unable to continue...despite having already been taken off :P

Given up on FIFA right now, for some reason my game always glitches during matches now. It's a common problem, and for me, it's just horrible to play when it happens.
