Fifa 11

[elky]

Anybody got it yet?

I think Asda and Tesco usually do it dirt cheap on launch night, so might pop out later.

Just wondering if anybody had pre-ordered it, and is it any good.

[TUG]

Dont understand why you would want to play an actual live sport on a console?
Seriously, go out an get your mates together would be alot more fun in my book.

I haven't search for prices yet, where's cheapest?

[Davo]

Mine's waiting for me at home, was delivered this morning.

The supermarkets have only just released their pricing:

Asda are the cheapest at £29.99
Tesco are doing it for £39.70 (but do have a deal on if you buy another chart game you can get it for £25)
Sainsbury are doing it for £25 if you spend £30 in store

[Silver]

Cheers Davo.

£25 at Sainsbury's with three crates of lager then!

[Villers]

I paid £34 from shopto.net but it came yesterday afternoon (wednesday)

Just to follow on from Davo's post...

Hmmm that makes it hard. I have F1 2010 sort of enjoying it but fifa for 97p is soo tempting I may just have to do it. Is it only tomorrow that they are doing that?

What to do?

After playing F1 2010 I would be happy to hand my copy over with £15 for fifa 2011. Sounds a good deal really, I sold my F1 for £30 at work, and I think its about £34 new on shopto.net so handing over that pile of lies and bugs with 97p for Fifa sounds good!

Mine arrived yesterday morning, 'cos the missus had bought it for me. Result.

What do people think? I've done a few league games and then I created a Virtual Pro (striker, naturally). I prefer the new system where your skills increase as you use them rather than just choosing what attributes to spend awarded points on.

Ive been playing for a few days now and at times its no different to Fifa 10. There are some improvements but the menus and stuff are very clumsy and the whole number of things that can be done are a bit mind boggling at first.

Theres a problemw ith the player ratings online, we found out last night that everyone on the same team were getting the same ratings and not once did it go over 6.9. Bit strange considering the people on the other team could see completely different scores on their screens!

Im enjoying the play a bit more than 10. Theres a bit more freedom and some nice touches but it feels more like a patch than an upgrade at the moment.

The one thing winding me up is the music on the damn thing. Why the hell would you put the scissor sisters on a football game soundtrack?

FIFA drinking game is a lot of fun.
Red card or goal is 4 sips
Yellow card 2
Corner, throw in, off side and foul are all 1
Gets you pretty trashed if playing against someone who is a lot better than you

Just got FIFA 11 from Sainsburys for £24.97 with my local shop. Played a bit last night with my mate and it feels and seems a lot more realistic, no more ping-pong passes, more weight to the players and the ball, 360 degree tackling, handballs and penalties are nearly impossible.

Also the fact you can add custom sounds is enough for me. Cue Yeovil Town coming out to the Liquidator and then later on the Champions League theme at Huish Park.

Well swapped in F1 this morning, and I am glad I did. I know everyone says it when every new fifa comes out but WOW its a lot better than the last one. It has also meant that I have spent all day playing it instead of the course work that I should have been doing

Seriously though how the fuck do you take penalties in this game?

[5v3d3b0]

Nope, you've got some weird bar which goes from red to green to red, and you have to press when the cursor goes on the green. When you hold the shoot button you select the strength on that, and you also have to direct somehow, but they seem to go either straigh and very weak, or crazy hard and to hell

[5v3d3b0]

Found a tutorial, very simple but helpful:

[Sam_Y_93]

You have to aim by moving an imaginary circle to where you want it. so move the left stick until you think it is in the top corner and then press and hold B in the green bit until you have enough power and it should be going in
