Fifa 11 Thread

[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

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.

 

[1ke]

And my saving grace is David Nugent....lol

Pompey MM FTW! Lol

 

[Prodigal Son]

I actually got a PK call on the keeper a week ago. I was kind of surprised.

 

[Irish]

I get a good amount of PKs with the lane change skill move. I usually hit atleast 1 PK every 2 games. I am really good at it too for some reason, its my only offensive thing I do well.

 

[mgoblue2290]

No because I've read that if you mess with them a certain way it is what causes the glitch where random guys on your team become goalies with a bunch of numbers.

 

[mgoblue2290]

Hmm, haven't had that problem yet.

I didn't have it either when I was using custom stuff but I've read of people who are in year 5 just randomly having it happen.

Just won a League Cup game against Chelsea I had no business winning. It was 2 days after another game so my entire first team was out except Torres and Turan who ended up only playing the first half anyways because they were spent. Chelsea fielded their entire first team and I had my entire second team out there. Guys like Shelvey, N'Gog, Jovanovic, Kelly, Aurelio. So we went the whole 90 minutes with no one scoring thanks to Reina playing out of his mind and then I scored 2 minutes into extra time and they got one back about 10 minutes later. Ended up winning 7-6 in penalty kicks because I figured out they were placing their shots in a pattern.

 

[mgoblue2290]

Made the jump to Legendary. :smug:

I was about to myself until Man City dominated me in one game but then I went out and beat Arsenal 4-1. How does it play? Does the CPU do a bunch of cheap shit and are the strikers better at finishing?

 

[CaribbeanJoseph]

That's interesting, I was using custom tactics when that shit happened to me.

 

[mgoblue2290]

Well this is bad news.

I just stopped using them and haven't even touched them. If I remember correctly the person on EA's forum was saying that he messed with the tactic outside of Manager Mode and then when he went to load it and play his MM again, it was messed up.

Not 100% sure but I think I did something to my tactics outside of MM so that may well be it because my other MMs have been sweet.

 

[CaribbeanJoseph]

Actually I'm enjoying it more. I don't know what it is, but I'm actually finding more space to shoot from long range. I netted one last night from outside the box with Aquilani, my first such goal on FIFA 11.

The CPU doesn't cheat you, but they play much better on the ball. They make good use of ball tricks.

100% agree, I find the game is much more open on Legendary compared to WC, Legendary with 7 min half is the way to go imo.
