Game Reviews
Top of the league
FIFA 11 has everything you could want from a modern football game - it's got the looks, the sounds and it feels great to play. In many ways it's very similar to last year's excellent outing, as well as this summer's 2010 FIFA World Cup, but a number of feature updates and more subtle changes make it an even more fully-rounded offering.
Tactical Tweaks
FIFA 11 builds on its predecessor by adding layers of depth in almost every department, most notably on the field of play. Each situation now has more variable outcomes and individual players genuinely feel unique.
The new Personality + system sees real life player traits mirrored on the pitch.
One of the most obvious additions is the ability to play as a keeper. Playing in goal switches the action to a third-person over the shoulder view and introduces some keeper specific controls which are easy to get to grips with. It's a fun new challenge that also means it's now possible to play 11 versus 11 online for the first time, but if you're anything like us you always want to play as an attacking midfielder or striker, making it a welcome if not essential new feature. General keeper play has been improved too, so there are now more save animations and outcomes, ensuring less predictability and making games more exciting and realistic.
The new Personality + system sees real life player traits, from their looks to their individual skills and even their goal celebrations, mirrored on the pitch. Refreshingly, FIFA 11 doesn't unfairly favour fast players, unlike so many football games. Quick-minded defenders like Rio Ferdinand read the play cleverly to get in the right place at the right time, midfield enforces like Javier Mascherano are key to breaking up opposition moves in the middle of the park, and tricky attackers like Cristiano Ronaldo use close control and tricks to make something special out of nothing. Players even sprint in three different styles now.
Gifted
The ping-pong, one-touch passing of FIFA 10 has been tamed too, meaning only more technically gifted players can play accurate balls when off balance, while opposition players hustle you for the ball more realistically than ever. The attributes-based passing system means it's more challenging working the ball through midfield to a scoring position using less gifted passers. Once you do manage to fashion a chance on goal it feels well deserved, and in FIFA 11 you feel like it's possible to hit the back of the net from a greater variety of positions and situations. You can apply more realistic spin to shots, so balls swerve and dip accurately, while headers and attempts on goal from acute angles are more likely to strike the target.
If you were a fan of FIFA 10 then you'll love FIFA 11.
For those that don't fancy showing off their skills online, the new Career option combines the old Be A Pro and Manager modes, and you can balance this how you see fit. Create a professional player and play matches, become a manager and just run the team, or mix it up and be a player-manager. There's neat media feedback after games, a decent transfer search tool, and you can view match highlights and even save replays to your hard drive. It's not radically different to last year's offering, but the ability to play the way you want at any point is a nice touch.
A vintage year
Serving as a great compliment to the official league and team licenses the series is known for, FIFA 11's new ‘Creation Centre' is a web-based application that lets you build your own players and clubs from scratch. You can choose their appearance, accessories and attributes, distinctive crests and kits, and even a home stadium. You can then share your creations with friends to play online in matches and tournaments. FIFA 11 also enables you to customise the audio in the game, so you can add crowd chants using your own audio file, as well music when a goal is scored or before or after a match.
If you were a fan of FIFA 10 then you'll love FIFA 11. It looks and sounds gorgeous, and almost everything has been tweaked to create a realistic simulation with even more depth and gameplay variety than its predecessor. With new features and improved on and off-field play, it's filled with magical moments that will keep you busy living the dream when the football isn't on TV.
