Whether you're playing Manager Mode or just a Exibition match, Fifa 11 will surely make you feel like you're in the game
****GAMEPLAY****
The gameplay of Fifa 11 is brilliant. The action is not fast paced lke Call of Duty, but not slow paced like Matrix. When you play a match, the game runs smoothly and the cut-in scenes make the game even more realistic when there is a free kick or a penalty.
The commentators are still Martin Tyler and Andy Gray. They make the game even more interesting and give something for you to listen to. They accurately comment on the game, (for example when you score, they do not commentate it 10 minutes later). They also give accurate information about football, based on the teams that are playing. For example if you are playing a match which involves Barcelona, then the commentators will say somehting like "Barcelona are well known for their excellent passing," or "Barcelona always has great tactics on both defending and attacking."
However, I think EA Sports has given the AI downsyndrome or a mental disorder. They make substitutions at 90:00, which is completely pointless. Also, when you play manager mode and you simulate a match, if the teams are someone from a lower class team versus a higher class team (such a Rochdale vs Manhester United), somehow the lower class team beats the upper class team, which is impossible.
****SOUND****
The sound on Fifa 11 is also great. When you play Fifa, or any other game, people do not usually think about the sound, but you will be amazed if you do. Fifa 11 is not the type fo game you would want to play with the sound off. Lets start with the crowd; The crowd chants the home teams anthem when they are entering the pitch. They also cheer while you score and when someone does their celebration.
****PRESENTATION****
In Fifa 11 there is no difference in the design of the main menu and Fifa 10's main menu. But when you play game modes such as Manager Mode, you will find out that EA Sports has made some changes in the presentation. Everything is neatly organised and you will know where everything is if you play the game mode again and again.
When you play online, EA Sports has given you the choice to choose if you want to play someone in your country or from another country. Or if you want, you could even choose if you want to play someone with the same skill level as you, or someone with a higher or lower skill level.
****New features****
Fifa 11 also has some brilliant new features. They have made another way to score during a penalty. Now, instead of pressing the shoot button and turning the analog stick, you now have to stop the pin at the green area on a bar. On strikers, the green area is bigger than defenders or the goalkeeper.
There is also be a goalkeeper. This is a brilliant feature, although the controls will take a bit of time to get used to.
Overall i think Fifa 11 is a great game and i think you should buy it. It costs £24.99 at game.
