Fifa 11

[Lorenzinho]

I found PES to be quite enjoyable...but it still didn't feel right.

The one thing that used to stand out in PES was you KNEW who you were looking at and moving the ball with? Does anybody understand me? Neither FIFA or PES have this. It's unfortunate because FIFA genuinely just feels like every player is the same except some can run faster.

I've been playing the PES demo more to be honest. Maybe more so because it's improved on a larger scale than FIFA has from FIFA 10 (don't fix what's not broken obviously), but possibly because I think PES is rekindling the magic it once had.

I just tend to get bored of FIFA if I'm not playing against a friend, whereas with PES I can play single player for a while - especially master league as I love creating my own team, emblem, kits etc, and then leading them to the promised land. Last year I played PES 2010 single player but FIFA 10 online, and I've a feeling that will be the same situation, providing of course PES fail again online. If they can pull off online play as perfectly as PES6 was and FIFA 10 was, then I'm really not sure I'll be paying FIFA 11 as much attention this year.

Oh, I'm currently playing against Juventus as Chelsea, and I scored a free-kick with Drogba (the free-kick system is still too easy), but the music that plays when you score and the replay is shown has carried on for the past 5 minutes. It's just playing in the background quietly behind the commentary on a loop. :lol: Man is it annoying this song.

Oh I know exactly what you mean. It's very evident from the replays though in PES that player individuality is still present, I noticed it especially during a replay of Messi and Ribery both chasing after a loose ball. If you're not noticing it as much, I really think it could just be down to the new default camera angle being more distant, and obviously more difficult to appreciate the detail and player individuality - while on the flip side it allows better vision over the field and obviously the new passing system shines as a result. It's just one of those things, and I'm sure once released, you'll be able to zoom in a bit again.

Yes and I think it is still better in PES but not like it used to be. If your refering to just the look of the player. If your talking about the individuality I still think it is much better in PES

I have to say though so far I prefer the PES demo over Fifa and I haven't felt that way the last couple of years.

I got more satisfaction when scoring on PES demo than I did with FIFA. Could very well be because I know how to play FIFA these days and PES feels totally different to when I last played it.

Oh by the way, if you go to game settings before kick off you can change what the nets look like and how tight they are and you can turn handballs on and off.

 

[Joel]

You guys playing on Legendary on FIFA 11?

Thanks

Yeah I am, it's really solid, only scored a few goals in open play up to now, I'm liking it a lot though.

Loving using Arsenal at the minute too; Song's a beast in the middle, Walcott's deadly down the right and Chamakh's so epic in the middle it means Super Robin starts on the bench for me most games.

Not to mention Koscielny and Vermaelen are unstoppable at the back

If anyone scores any nice goals, make you upload 'em and share in here

Indeed. I chose "loose" net settings hoping they'd be like the 2002 World Cup ones, which were really loose and wavy, I was disappointed. Still, it's nice to have some options there.

Agreed. Scoring is a challenge. The limited time plays a part in it, but it is a lot of fun.

Is it just me or is Ronaldo a lot taller than he was in FIFA 10? I was playing as Madrid one game and I was expecting Ronaldo to be much sharper and zippy on the ball.

Kaka' on the other hand is just over-rated. Certainly no justification on how last season went for him, just because he's one of the 'cover players'.

Celebrations are much cooler now - team-mates mobbing the scorer - I scored with Messi earlier and Dani Alves just came up to him and pushed him on the ground... Quality :lol:

I wish they had play 5 minute halfs as an unlock.

Mr. Villa's very excited after scoring this

[Baddar]

Lol

 

[Bež]

Nice one haha, the header wasn't bad at all either

I'll post some of my goals up... When I score some, that is.

I'm determined not to step down from Legendary though, this time last year I probably would've. This time the demo's much funner to play, as the AI is actually intelligent now :w00t

 

[Joel]

How do you do the players actual celebration?

 

[Bež]

How do you do the players actual celebration?

You hold :x: for the players' signature celebration.

So if you score with say Kaka and hold :x: he'll point to heavens like he does in real life and then either get intercepted by one of with team mates or do one of the finishing moves.

 

[Dragonfly]

Is that the same for FIFA10?

 

[Bež]

Is that the same for FIFA10?

Nope.

 

[Dragonfly]

Thanks. And while repping is the talk of the town...

 

[Baddar]

How many real player celebrations are in. Does anyone know?

If Cahill's isn't, I riot.
