The9 Posted 30 April, 2010 Author Share Posted 30 April, 2010 Surprisingly useful Mr Stevo. Now has anyone actually got the thing and wants to bang on about what it's like ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_stevo Posted 30 April, 2010 Share Posted 30 April, 2010 why did my usefulness surprise you so? Its FIFA, so it will probably be overhyped carp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draino76 Posted 30 April, 2010 Share Posted 30 April, 2010 This should have been a piece of premium DLC for Fifa 10, so no. No ****ing way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 30 April, 2010 Share Posted 30 April, 2010 Yeah i would just rent this one to be honest. Typical EA wanting all the money. It has got good reviews though so will be worth a pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 30 April, 2010 Share Posted 30 April, 2010 Never buy the normal FIFA games, but will probably buy this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 5 May, 2010 Author Share Posted 5 May, 2010 Have to say, the presentation and all that kind of stuff is wonderful, and CYC is great fun - though I'd still prefer to see points being added for various skills on-screen. The lack of being able to allocate stadia to countries annoys me (as you can do it in FIFA10), the match itself is almost identical to FIFA10 (not a bad thing, but for £40?) and EA's laziness on kits (especially for keepers) is astounding and annoying. I haven't got anywhere near a World Cup match yet - not likely to playing as Wales either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 5 May, 2010 Share Posted 5 May, 2010 I actually rented this at the weekend and have to say i'm very impressed thus far. They have made quite a few changes over fifa 10 that hopefully will mean fifa 11 will be the best yet. Like for example the sprint button. If you have someone who is not very good at ball dribbling and they try to go on a mazy run it can be more difficult. You now have a chance to lose the ball by hitting it just slightly further then you wanted which gives others the chance to get a tackle in. I think they have done a great job on the mistakes aspect of the game. This add's to the difficulty but also add's to the realism. Your passes are no longer 100% accurate over long distances. When you get the ball passed to feet it is harder to do that little turn soon as you receive it and goes past a defender. The game is hard. But like with other fifa games you get used to it and soon as you work out what your individual players can do but more importantly can't do then you can start pulling off great moves. As 9 say's above the presentation is top notch. When you actually make it to the world cup (you have to do the qualifiers first and friendlies) you see the spectacle of it all with flashing cameras, confeti, anthems and most importantly the crowd. This is the area they have worked on a lot i think. The crowds feel so much more realistic. The songs they sing, the noises like drums, the boo's against rival teams or players who did a nasty tackle etc.. the atmosphere feels perfect. The only thing i don't like is once again it is hard to score. The shooting mechanics feel better but sometimes the goalie pulls saves out that you think "jesus how did he get that", which i guess is just good AI. And i hate with a passion the new sub and manager animations. But i guess it is better then the old pan to stadium one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Um Bongo Posted 5 May, 2010 Share Posted 5 May, 2010 I've got a spare copy if anyone wants to buy it, I got it for £40, will sell for £35. Still in it's packaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 12 May, 2010 Author Share Posted 12 May, 2010 There are a few bugs, I wasn't impressed with Wales fielding Ramsey and Koumas both wearing number 32 for a start... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo Posted 5 September, 2010 Share Posted 5 September, 2010 I actually picked this up recently for £14.99, and it's excellent at that price. I always pick up the football games when they're a bit out of date (Football Manager aside) as I'm not bothered about the teams being a bit out of date. FIFA has come on leaps and bounds in the last couple of years, and having played both FIFA and Pro Evo I think FIFA is by far the better game these days. The only exception is the Become A Legend/Be A Pro modes, which seems to be more enjoyable on Pro Evo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
