FIFA Soccer 11: Video Review

[raptor93D]

Guys c'mon. So what if americans call it soccer? They have a different sport called football. They can't call two different sports football, right? It's not like anyone starts crying because they call it soccer. Yeah, i think football is the real name for the sport aswell, but for fuck sake, be a man, not a little 5 year old pussy with XL diapers.

[aaron9099]

How is being a Goalie a negative? Unless you change the ACTUAL sport there is very little way they're going to be able to make that interesting.

[MrcoolguyX0X]

IGN is an american company, so it's soccer...

God, some ppl nowadays...



[DBKaiFANSonGokuRises]

Best football games:

PS2 / Xbox - PES 5 & 6

PS3 / Xbox 360 - FIFA 09-12

FIFA is the King of Football!

[MithG98]

@DBKaiFANSonGokuRises i agree

[coolguyisinthehouse]

[armendariuz]

fifa 11 orst fifa game i find

[XxGDVxX]

@Troforso Sounds to me like you just suck at FIFA :(

[guv859]

Picked this up for a fiver today having not played it much last year. Disappointed with Fifa 12 and its generally cheating ways, so I'm looking forward to giving this a good play. Can't go wrong for £5.00.

[xTkAx]

please stop the ads

[guv859]

@xTkAx Well said. Not even skipable after five seconds. Horrible.

[GreenDayFan625]

i cannot stress this enough I DONT WANT TO GET ON MY COMPUTER TO PLAY A VIDEO GAME.

[Troforso]

this is a commercial, it sucks. the players always hold on other players, its like they have glue on them, so you cant just runn by a defender, he will hold you back. The players are also super clumsy, mass falling, tripping for nothing etc. the defenders are god when playing against ai, unnless your playing easy or semipro, but thats boring. And the players are clumsy in genneral.

[KoMmIzZaR98]

Alrighty..lets be clear. IF IT'S A GAME WITH A BALL, AND YOU KICK IT WITH YOUR FOOT, ITS FOOTBALL! NOT SOCCER!

[rerundadog]

I'm lolling how us Americans call a game dependent on hands call it football.... While other country's call it soccer

[GreenDayFan625]

@rerundadog thats what she said

[TermsOfProduction]

@GreenDayFan625 WTH? Do you know what that even is? That was not it.

[GreenDayFan625]

@TermsOfProduction ive played soccer for about 7 or 8 years and football for 2 years. i think it should be called football to because the only time you use your foot in football is to kick field goals and kick offs.

[TermsOfProduction]

@GreenDayFan625 Uh.... I think you replied to the wrong comment.

[GreenDayFan625]

@TermsOfProduction oh sorry.

[celtic889]

alot better then fifa 12 imo

[dregiss]

i bought fifa 11 preowned and now i cant play online... because i need code:( thats suck !!!

[ps3kidforever]

@dregiss im lucky i already have a pass cuz i bought sims 3 new so now i can play any EA game online

[Alexwilderr]

why is everyone calling this football? This is no where near football, this is soccer. If you wannt call it futbol, that's fine, not football.

[RatedRMatt]

@Alexwilderr The whole world calls in football, apart from America. So no its not "Soccer" its fucking FOOTBALL.

Its played with your fett, not America "I wear lots of pads because i'm a complete pussy" ball

[PumpedUpKicks1000]

@Alexwilfag your a dumbass

[DuckSauceMining]

Why on PS2 are the shirts tucked in and on PS3, PC and X360 their shirts aren't tucked in

[shirokid9]

Football get it wright

[MikyWrita]

@shirokid9 Right,not wright.

[hudson5188]

@shirokid9 Ironic, you spelling right wrong while correcting someone. lol

[stevedapanda]

@shirokid9 Get your spelling "Right"

[TheDarkNobleOne]

@stevedapanda

It was a joke

[exunderscorejai]

@shirokid9 It's right, get it right.

[Cosplaypro101]

@shirokid9 Right. Get it right.

[DirtyLimez]

@shirokid9 How come you cant get right right?

[skatesomerset]

septic nobead

[rockerMan0987]

I actually like this better than fifa 12

[DoubleStack13]

It's football damn it not soccer

[TwilightRPAZZ]

@DoubleStack13 SOCCER

[RealShady147]

@DoubleStack13

they call it fútbol in Spanish retart

[DoubleStack13]

@RealShady147 Who the fuck said I was talking about Spanish

[KuggeR23]

@DoubleStack13 what's the difference? i'm asking that for so many times. lol

[IcelandicPsycho]

@DoubleStack13 SOCCBALL

[kzxflash35]

@DoubleStack13 I grew up calling the beautiful game soccer and you probably grew up calling the game football but in the end, it's still the same game goddamnit. It's not like calling it soccer is gonna harm someone so why are you people always ranting about this shit?

[DBKaiFANSonGokuRises]

@kzxflash35 In US, where you probably live, they suck at football over there, so it's more like:

Pros (Rest of the World) Vs. Amateurs (US)

Ronaldo & Messi ftw!

[kzxflash35]

@DBKaiFANSonGokuRises I don't live in the US fyi and I never said anything about who's better, anyway yeah I agree Ronaldo and Messi ftw

[RockstarRichy100]

@DoubleStack13 no the term is Futbol not football so stop hatin

[DoubleStack13]

@RockstarRichy100 Hey idiot, in Spanish they say futbol. In English it's football.

[RockstarRichy100]

@DoubleStack13 u mad bro?? lol

[DBKaiFANSonGokuRises]

@RockstarRichy100 Yes it is.

Dumbass, Futbol means Football.

Futbol's the Spanish term for football.

[AlikCw]

@DoubleStack13 came here to say that

[zalien6]

@AlikCw haha yup.

[DirtyLimez]

@DoubleStack13 Soccer is the American name for the sport and canadian but its called Football in other places so technically its not Football since hes in america

[raptor93D]

@DirtyLimez Still football.

[mathteachkilla77]

this is nonsence is like saying super mario in sonics world and hes like weres the mushrooms when theirs non only rings

[mathteachkilla77]

at first like in the demo you think this game is hard or not cool but once you play online you wont stop playing it i rate it 10 out of 10

[watchoutak479]

fiffa 10 is better

[akaGiNX]

i played with west ham united in four or five seaons in manger mode, on professianl. first season was scappey as fuck! the next four seasons would would be better, so still scapey football:( repuation does not mean fuck all!!! i had a five star reputation, and the best offer i got was from bolton!!!! i won the flipping premier leauge,fa cup,carling cup an the charity shield!!! and you give me bolton! i did turn west ham football club in to a world powerhouse and you give me bolton!!!! no manche

[Avatarrocks100]

why did they give be a goalie a negative sign...if it wasnt there they would be like.....well there still isnt a option to play as the goal keeper so its like wtf

[TheBuckface]

fuck ign

[pappaazz]

lol, the pro passing has always been there. im sure of it.

[Nikos21Aekara]

what's is your problem about be goalie...if you don't want to play don't play....why you put as a negative imrovement in fifa 11??

[treelizard99]

Compare the rating of FIFA 12 and FIFA 11, very different. Plus IGN should have britishers review the football games because they at least know about the gmae

[TheUltimateGamerHD]

being the goalkeeper is the most important position what does it matter if you score one goal while you are getintg scoered on 10 times seriosly at least fifa 12 comes out in 6 days which is awsome pes sucks

[codkiller90]

how is being a goalie bad it's awesome

[Calinn86]

make me understand something guys, i'm not such a big gamer, my experience with games is pretty low.. i have fifa 11, it's a pirate copy downloaded from the internet. in the menu i see no replay theater, no creation centre and many more other stuff this guy speaks about here.. so what's the deal why is this so?

[221evans]

@Calinn86 probably because its a copy some pirate copys don't include everthing the paid game would have

[LSHELTS]

What the fuck is Soccer? If it's known around the world as Football, Call it what it is, not what the American's make up :/

[TheMrAllam]

@LSHELTS The Brits first used the word "soccer" for "football" the yanks call it the true name bro.

[LSHELTS]

@TheMrAllam Not really kid

[TheMrAllam]

@LSHELTS Look it up :)

[lipsingingboy]

You know you don't have to have a dislike for the goalie ing. YOU DON'T HAVE TO FUCKING DO IT

[Josh92111]

Soccer... Wtf

[GeneralAtilla]

Im suprised they didn't compare it to call of duty.

[blaze9668]

Even pes o fifa,REAL FOOTBALL is the best!:D

[genabet123]

I just hope in FIFA12 the controls will have better playability and has a better response to commands. Maybe it's just me, but sometimes the physical game was well over the top, plus I hated it when good footballers just lost there balance out of the blue, tripping up, like they had two left feet. I also hated how it had an arthritis feel to it, which left players feeling EXTREMELY frustrated. Other then that problem it was still a great addictive football game. I'm looking forwards to FIFA12.

[genabet123]

8.5 is a decent review in my opinion... Here it comes, bring on the hate mail lol. In my opinion I thought FIFA10's gameplay was much more smooth and was better overall. Sure, FIFA11 looked more realistic, but the gameplay seemed too slow and sluggish for me. People who are a beast at FIFA11 will probably disagree and think I'm wrong. But I just felt the controls were not that responsive and tight as FIFA10 was.

[Khitmin]

Love the game hates the cover so i'm gonna give it a 8.5

That my friends is the ign logic.

[12PASCION]

PES is the best I HAVE EVER SEEN

[Oxaine]

What did he say? Soccer? I thought it was a football game. Silly American with his made up words.

[danielzinhofa]

@Oxaine yup,you're right

a lot of countries uses variations of the football word,so why couldn't the americans do the same?

[TheMrAllam]

@Oxaine Soccer is the true name for "football" look it up, the British first called it that.

[Troforso]

only one thing that pissed me off with this game, it is legal to hold other players and they do it all the time. IT IS NOT LEGAL TO HOLD ANOTHER PLAYER IN THE SHIRT OR ARM, but like in the real world the judges dont really give a fuck about that.

[TheEcafa]

SERIOUS COMPLAIN BOUT CAREER MODE WTF ITS FOR CALLED FIFA ITS FOR SOCCER FANS FFS

[davi26ita]

Playing the 'manager mode' at Fifa 11, can I change team everytime i end a football year? (I remember it was possible at Fifa 05/06 :D but i've not played the other editions, so i don't know if is possible now)

[mazvita18]

my computer is so slow the advertisement wont even load

[keonraw123]

what's that song called @ 1:46

[jozilife]

fifa 10 wasnt bad...

[m00kyst]

Wtf, good review generally but why is he talking about the penalty system and everything as "new"? Most of these "new" features appeared in Fifa World Cup 2010 first so they're not that new.

[TheEmperorNothing]

it's fucking football not soccer!

[VideoTheGames]

/watch?v=zHqRgbqdXCc

Why FIFA12 is better than PRO12.

[rapptimes226]

IF i was president Of the USA I would change the word soccer to football and change the sport football to Egg ball or tackle ball.

Problem solved

[NSZ951LIZS]

Wait... this was almost perfectly the same as Fifa 10... There were only some INPROVEMENTS right... so why the heck was fifa 10 BETTER?(*-*")

[dori34543]

@NSZ951LIZS

Standards change. Just like some games on the PS2 were good back than but now...you would expect a little more.

[NSZ951LIZS]

@dori34543 Lol true :D

[andiundertaker]

damn we want the same game on all platforms its not so hard com on just try (more cash money)

[jdoub5678]

does this guy even support a FOOTBALL team NOT soccer -_-

[sparkman787]

find it funny how he only shows his gols not any good defenses from the A.I goaly --__-

[melvinman11]

@sparkman787 thats because there aint no defense in Fifa 11 xD

[Adschi2010]

1:10 DAMIEN DELANEY!!!

[TheReeceB6]

the ea servers are absolutely shit... ea are monkey arse ring lickers

[gamelord1223]

1:48 lol what, Arsenal getting a goal? yeh right as if. Wengers side can ONLY win in fifa.

[MrSaxophone18]

Haven't really been into FIFA, or any sports game for that matter really, but after playing it at a friend's, I kind of liked it. Is this worth picking up if you are new to the franchise, or should I wait for the next one?

[kieranhurlford]

also the online servers are shit and the tackling is mega shit so is the ref (i got booked for running into somebody)

[kieranhurlford]

passing is shit

you team is full of retards they dont even fucking move or mark anybody

everytime you win a tackle your player falls down or the ball flies away

player animations are shit

manager mode is boring and unrealistic

freekicks for almost anything

commentary is shit

it made by ea

thats why its shit

[killbill189]

*football not soccer

[GREYGRIT1]

if u call football: soccer......then wtf do u call the other type of football

[clingmarbleprod]

@GREYGRIT1 the one with the egg shaped ball? Yeah that Aussie rules football mate.

[joshgates]

gave the game a chance this morning but the gameplay is completely unplayable. How the fuck did it get a 8.5 HOW?!

[PAFCdave]

It's called football not soccer you yank cunts

[xXFallen1212Xx]

@PAFCdave You mad bro?

[TheMattBox360]

my review :100000000

[Deathz991]

lol he says they finally added goalie mode and its borng and u just stand thier the whole time. Thats realitisc. Wht the fuck do u want

[TheBlankityblank]

I have concluded, that on IGN reviews, people will bitch if every game isn't 10/10

[guwziiqoblulu]

There is one thing which I hate. In Career Mode players do not really improve, i.e. Lukaku is rated 74 after 8 years he might be rated 79 wtf? They should do like after the season ends you have an assistant and he tells you who was the break-out player of the season and who played badly throughout the season, it makes it interesting. With Bayern I played Sattelmaier as a keeper to experiment and after 8 years he went from 67 to 72, kinda sucks :/

[Footietekkers]

@guwziiqoblulu Bro Fifa said themselves that they attempted to resolve the player growth problem but the executive producer admitted it was just a mess. They highlighted the problem by saying the only way to resolve players not growing is to buy them when they are over 23 years old because from 17 to 25 they will improve as long as they are not on your team. On my career Alex Chamberlin, Conor Wickham, Mario Gotze, Christian Eriksen are now near 87-92ovr at the ranges of 23-26

[guwziiqoblulu]

@Footietekkers Ok than thanks mate ;)

[vaporterra]

next fifa they should add more international teams like Sebria, Slovakia, Japan, Paraguay, Chile, Nigeria, Ghana, IvoryCoast, Honduras, Jamaica, Wales, and North Korea.

[aknonnerd]

Review a football game with an american and review captain America with a british dude. WTF IGN?

[spearworld6]

@aknonnerd British people aren't the only ones to play football, get off your high horse.

[RaahymKB1997]

@aknonnerd LOL, they'll make George Washington drink tea in their next review.

[hareth9hmoud]

@aknonnerd haha good  point

[BoyBetterKnow94]

@aknonnerd does it matter you loser who cares were all the same

[ChewTheGlue]

All the comments seem to be about kaka and Americans being involved in football.

All I want to know is if this game is worth buying or not?

[thebearsters]

@ChewTheGlue just wait until fifa 12, its like one month away

[shaveller146]

i must say i have no clue what this dude is speaking abt for pc when u compare fifa 11 to 10 its like gta vice city to gta iv huge improvement

[dancemastigoldy]

Love fifa !

[jkdoorbinnia]

I'm looking for a virtual pro club to join on xbox 360, I'm australian reply to this comment if u have a spot for me.

[keevie100]

i'm lookinig for a challenge in this game on ps3 message me if interested

[4000jai]

They should add 3 features to fifa 12:

-Be a ref

-be a hollywood

-be a streaker

[jkdoorbinnia]

does anyone else think that on professional or higher against spanish teams is rigged at times? like the computer cheats you with playing dirty, only calling offsides for you or just purposely making you stuff up? either i was just really unlucky of the game against real madrid was rigged.

[PokemonThug]

@jkdoorbinnia You will get called on fouls more and your passing is throw off some... there is soooooooo much bull shit in this game

[mrcrazy1991]

vagina boob

[GreekRomanGG]

@mrcrazy1991 Boogina?

[Kennnujou]

WHAT IS DIFFERENTS fiffa 11 and Fiffa soccer 11

[sergio0235]

@Kennnujou same thing...fifa11 is known as fifa soccer 11 in north america

Source: wikipedia :p

[manchestercool99]

FIFA 10 WAS VERY BAD AND IM A FOOTIE GAME FANATIC!! the shooting was absolutely terrible and the servers was nt amazing, the crosses over curved and the passing was at some times frustrating!

[manchestercool99]

@neroinaction the reason is, u get the tranfers, the kits, the graphics, the shoes, more prsonality and generly upgraded gamepkay

[50centersej]

@neroinaction Because the team updates. The graphics changes and it's hard to play against people online because no1 plays the old 1's :). If u play fifa u can see a very big difference between the games.

[neroinaction]

@50centersej convinced me :D

[kla123200]

dude your dumb. how do u put a - for be a goalie. its an upgrade because you don't have to play it if you don't want to

[kla123200]

shouldnt he say speedy attacker instead of speedy midfielder considering attackers are faster on most cases

[HashBrownTKO]

how many online matches do u have to play before u get ur rank... i have played like 15 and still dont have one

[Rebel4mCork]

@HashBrownTKO Depends how many you win, atm i think its abot 50 - 60 wins to get a Ranking

[NorwegianLegendPS3]

I still play FIFA10

[E71TeW0g]

This dick head just compering FIFA 11 to FIFA 10 what shit review u can go suck my dick!!!

[Lcinsane]

gameplay is better in fifa 11, not saying fifa 11 is great by any means but the passing system is much quicker

[SuperSquiral]

Aweful review, fifa 10 was one of the worst fifa's i have ever played (just afeter 06 and 08). Fifa 11 is alot more realistic and fluent to play than fifa 10 the only negative things i can say about it is the finesse shots are way to overpowered and are near impossible to save, also the fact that when you play online there isn't a system to prevent rage quiters

[ANDOG45]

in my opinion i think it would be better for developers to not release a new sports game every year considering we now have things like updated rosters and developers always stop supporting the game as soon as the new one comes out. i think it would just be better to release a new sports game every two years rather than one

[jhapoen]

how fucking funny is it that IGN gave PES 2011 a 9!! HAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAAH­AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA

[Th3SP1C]

I wish USA would more be interested in futbol maybe then we could get really nice players

[Maydomedia]

Im my country Kaka is a word a bunch of dumb asses are discussing about

[666alex27]

kaka = caca = childish way to say crap in french

[Firefistace27]

@giorgos148 ...o lale e ke myt

[espana121]

I think EA should just make a game called FIFA instead of years like 09,10,11. Everytime things change in the soccer world, they should have uprades and some tweaks to the game. and not buying a new fifa game for 60 bucks every year

ive had every fifa game since 99 and paid a lot for them.

[thewwmm25]

@espana121 money is involved...

[espana121]

@thewwmm25 yup



[thewwmm25]

@espana121 hey we got the same flag
