Fifa 11 Thread

[Houston]

My team has no sense of urgency at all.

Isn't there a way to change that? I'll drive all the way downfield and shoot and the goalie dives to the ground to knock it right back into the field of play. It'll be wide open for a easy score but I look and none of my teammates are anywhere to be found.

Just busted this out in an online game

EA Sports: Replay 2

Back when I was balling with Milan.

Settings. There you can switch when you want them to auto switch or turn it off completely.

As for my MM. I finished 3rd in Serie A, Inter and Roma ahead of me. So despite winning the Coppa Nazionale, I got fired :/.

Instead of sticking with it and playing as Roma, who offered me their job, I am gonna start a new one. I was thinking either NY Red Bulls or LA Galaxy to dominate the MLS but I really enjoy learning more about European soccer. So I am thinking either Atletico Madrid to ball with Forlan or I want to try a mid team in the EPL. I was thinking Sunderland,Tottenham,Arsenal, or Aston Villa.

I strongly recommend Atletico Madrid. I tried Man City at first on FIFA 10, but just couldn't get into it for more than a few days at a time. Then I started a new one with Atletico and had a ton of fun and ran multiple seasons. They are a great squad to use, lots of talent, but they have enough weaknesses and room for growth that you still feel like it's a challenge.

You do play some clownhouse clubs in La Liga though. Some at the bottom of the league are really bad.

Well I was in an Atletico Madrid season. Only lost to Barca and Real all season. Was in April, then it glitched and had random numbers as players and completely looked fucked. Huge bug.

I am pissed.

Now I don't know what team to do.

[Irish]

Thats why I can never play online. People take winning way too seriously. Whether it is glitching, quitting or cheesing. I have never understood the appeal of online gaming considering 80% of the gaming community sucks at the game or is a sore loser.

-

So far in my quest for a new team, Santos (Neymar), Cardiff City (Haven't played any english teams yet), or CSKA Moscow (Shorter season) are what I think I have to pick between.

[calgaryballer]

I had a lot of fun playing as CSKA against a friend last night. Might start up an MM of my own with them

[1ke]

Why the fuck am I sucj a hack in this game. Im averaging about 5-7 fouls per damn game. Then the CPU comes bullies me all over the place and nothing is called.

[Irish]

There are a ton of flaws in the game that I have noticed.

-Player growth
-CPU AI Constantly pressure, no time to dribble, hard to build anything through the middle
-Tackling is too easy for User, and CPU are too automatic, can take the ball from any position
-User defense isn't very responsive
...luckily...
-CPU is poor at finishing, atleast on WC.


I would hope some of this gets patched, but knowing EA it will probably take forever and their solution will probably cause another bug.

What really pisses me off are the offsides and advantages. This game is fucking clueless when it comes to offsides, I don't remember it being anywhere near as bad on 10? And don't even get me started on the bastard advantages


Still fucking love this game though lol


edit: also hate the way you can dominate possesion, shots and you lose to a 40 yard wonderstrike in the 85+ minute, it's cool that this happens and I've benefited from it aswell but it happens way too much, I played near enough 100 games online and its happened in about 10% of my games.

[CaribbeanJoseph]

40 yard is a bit of an exaggeration lol but from well outside the box, I play on PS3 though, I know that the 2 versions play kinda differently especially online the last 2 versions of FIFA.

[calgaryballer]

Just played a fuck who scored a single goal and then bounced the ball around in his own half for the entire time. I eventually said fuck it, turned around and watched movie trailers. He was still juggling the ball in one place when I came back. I was killing him 70-30 in possession, only for Ronaldo (playing as a striker obviously) to break my trap one time

I don't understand why some people enjoy that

[1ke]

It's not just you.

I'm in the same boat. I foul the CPU non stop but they just shove me off the ball, tackle from behind, everything, yet never get called for anything. There seems to be a real lack of free kicks in dangerous areas in the game.

I think you're absolutely right....I can count, i have gotten 3 FKs in dangerous spots, blew all three by the way.

Great list, here I am spending all this money on young talent, and none of these kids have gotten 1 point better. Its the only thing (yet big thing) thats fucking up my MM. And the CPU pressure, its annoying because I want to do more than bomb down the wing and keep throwing crosses.

I played a game against UTD....Fouled Rooney, at the 18, ball trickled, he got up, took one step to the ball, and one more step and rifled a shot upper 90 to seal the game. I had 57% possession, and lost because of that. Im with you though, im digging this game.

[calgaryballer]

Man, it's nights like this that really make me hate FIFA online. Played Real 4 times and Chelsea another 3. Did OK, but even when I win it's not really fun

[mgoblue2290]

I know its quite amazing that the CPU's defense has the reaction time of an NHL goalie while my defense plays like they just smoked a bowl.

Also, I never get foul calls. If I slightly bump an opposition player, foul. If their guy comes at me full speed and hits me, nothing. Hell I'm pretty sure somebody could shank Joe Cole and he'd lying on the field dying and nothing would get called. Its kind of funny because I'll start yelling at my TV about blown calls.

That stuff aside, game is still fun. And Kenny Miller is freaking awesome off the bench for me.
