"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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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...

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

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!
