subject: Fifa 2011 Preview [print this page] Oh Boy, EA have gone to town on this one!
The first of the new round of sccoer games hits the streets in early October 2010 with EA's FIFA 11. The 10th incarnation of the hugely successful FIFA franchise and it's likely to be the best selling yet as the popularity of soccer seems to know no bounds at the moment. And Electronic Arts really have pushed the boundaries in FIFA 11, there is an awful lot of new
functionality and incredible features in this years release.
As always Electronic Arts calim to have listened to player feedback and added what the top players want in the new release.
Firstly EA claim to have got rid of the dreadeed "ping pong" passing and say that passing is now much more realistic and also far more dependent on your actual skill with the controller. They say that passing will depend very much on the specific conditions that pertain to any given situation and have called the new passing mode "Pro Pass". I'm not sure what that means and I will report back once I've actually played the new version but they do say outcomes could be more "unpredictable", I guess they must have somehow programmed a Jabalani ball into the code! From the clips I've seen there is still that little "wobble" as the players foot makes contact with the ball though.
EA also say they have addressed goalkeeper AI and chip shots although they don't say how just yet. Again the clips I have seen suggest the goalkeeping action is very realistic indeed, I really liked this aspect.
There is one thing I just cannot WAIT to play with though! EA have introduced "Personality +" in FIFA 11. What is it? well, I thought it was a positive mental attitude book I once read, but EA say they have programmed each players performance "authentically" into the game. Does this mean Rooney will be a moody SOB in FIFA 11 as well? But they say skills, performance levels and body typeswill be reflected to more easily identify players and enhance their perofrmance. I need to be convinced on this one, it sounds far too much like sales puff to me. The player attributes they have added seems a better idea to me, so for example Ronaldo will be given expert dribbling attributes, Rooney shooting ability and so on.
Apparently they have actually programmed in the players specific movements, so for example you know when you have Fabregas under your control, you will be able to feel a difference on the controller.
On a more positive level, you cam import chants and crwod noise form real life games to bring the atmosphere at your game to life. There are also realistic and authentic stadium backgrounds so you can play anywhere from Old Trafford to the San Siro to Vicarage Road to the Maracana or even the Kazam. You will also be abel to customise your own soundtrack by importing your favourite music into the game.
