New to FIFA

I've been taking an interest to soccer lately and I was looking into FIFA 12 or FIFA 11 for that matter.

I found that it's such a long standing series that it's actually hard to find info on how the game is played for newcomers! So I have a couple of questions for the FIFA connaisseurs in here...

Let's say I want to play within the Englsh championships...When you do your 15 years career, can you start with a Championship team and graduate to Premier League if you finish top 2? Can you be relegated if I start in the Premier league and finish bottom 3?

Or do you play all of the 15 years within the league you start in?

Thank you!

yes it is just like real life, you can be relegated or promoted. Also at the end of the season, whether you have done bad or good or not you willl get offers from other teams to be their manager and so this changes up the experience aswell

It's exactly like the real world. You can be relegated. Promoted. Given targets to achieve. Money to spend. Manage the stadium, staffs etc. If you're planning to get into FIFA, i would suggest you wait for FIFA 12 which comes out in 2 months. Then you're good for a whole year without upgrading or anything :) arsenal1111

Thank you very much for the feedback!

Wich is better : Pro Evo or FIFA?

Some seem to like Pro Evo better, others FIFA...it seems though that Pro Evo doesn't have all the rights to the English teams like FIFA has, is that right?

PES may not have the rights to the Barclays Premier League but you can download and transfer the option file to your PS3 and enjoy all the proper kits and people's attempts to recreate certain stadiums. Anyway it's not a question of which is better it's a question of do you want a sim or do you want a game that's fun to play with friends. If you want a sim I'd strongly suggest PES 2011 as it's a game that you actually have to put in 5-7 hours to learn how to play because of the amount of depth in the core gameplay. The lack of licenses may not appeal to you but the core gameplay is a great indication as to what PES 2012 will bring.

Fifa on the other hand is a fun game to play but by no means a football sim, the learning curve isn't really long give it like 1-2 hours an you'll be playing this game like a pro.

So it's probably a good idea to start with FIFA for me and go from there.

Thank you!
