more and more ploblems from AI problems to game speed
Pros/improvements from 10
Goal keepers are better as they won't get beaten as easily.
Commentary not as repetitive
Updated Transfers, kits and stadiums are downloadable
the CPU is more intelligent which makes it more competitive. The presentation and music is as good as it's always been in fifa games.
Headers are easier to score
Cons
Far few improvements from the previous.
Players lack individuality and as they just made random players have the ability to dribble despite them not being dribblers nor having high dribbling skills.
Three major problems still not solved by ea:
Collision system still poor
Computer can become insanely hard to score pass when losing but too easy when winning.
Refs still get in the way way too much
New problems/ problems that have become worse
The CPU tackling is too accurate, you can't even go near a player without losing the ball and your player falling over.
The game has gotten biased as the ref always gives the decisions to the CPU along with the CPU's perfect tackling especially in the penalty area.
Users defence AI is abysmal so if you switch to a player quick enough the defence will easily fall apart. Some passes you might not get to but you won't get support from the AI on your side, yet the CPU has an urgency system and gets it the ball. The urgency is too high though as just as a pass is made they read it while my attacker is still running forwards. The players also dribble/move slower making it even easier to get tackled.
Playing as a goalkeeper is boring and is only fun in a player v keeper mess about while the game loads.
Pass plus is rubbish. It doesn't bring anything to the game other then make passes even more wayward because the user's players AI struggles to register the pass. Not only does user's players AI struggle to respond to pass but they make abysmal runs 8/10 times even when you're playing as the big clubs.
6.5
Online
People still disconnect when losing. Fifa need to put an auto win in the game instead but other than that online mode is still fun to play.
9.0
Manager mode
As usual many problems with it. Despite me giving some youngsters many games so that their stats improve all it did was nothing and to insult me some of the players stats went down yet all the other clubs players stats went up even players aged 36.
Friendlies feel pointless especially when u can only use 3 subs out of 7 when it should be 7 out of 12. Also there is too many friendly's too.
Buying players takes far too long and selling players is near impossible. For example I was managing Barcelona and I bought in two strikers yet I couldn't sell Ibrahimovich in the 2 seasons I have been managing the club.
Manager mode has improved in terms of presentation and hasn't got bugs like fifa 10.
7.0
Virtual pro and ultimate team
I don't play them
After mentioning all these problems I just feel this game was rushed together. They made so many errors in addition to the errors in fifa 10. The only positive to the game is that all the original features are updated and that they have no serious competition anymore. I hope Fifa 12 is better or else I might have to play pro evo again.
