Morning all,

Anyone else really looking forward to the new fifa? i sold my fifa 10 last week so i'd get abit more cash for it before the new one is released. Think i'm going to go pre order it this weekend.

anyone interested in setting up an android forums be a pro football team for when it is released? (does everyone know you can now play as the goalkeeper on be a pro ;) )

EDIT: Should have mentioned for the PS3 not xbox :D

NHL and Fifa are the two games I look forward to every year. Best $120 I spend all year.

For me its always been FIFA and FM series, those always go right and never let me down on so many hours of lush gameplay. Even if you're bit bored with matches itself, you can still do other things as well - so its basically two games filled with awesomeness!

Oh, I'm not the biggest NHL fan - but I had a lot of fun with last years be a pro in NHL.

Ultimate team/dynasty/online/beapro. So much to do... Both Fifa and NHL improve every year I never feel like I am buying a "roster update" I really wish I could say the same for Madden...

Yeah, this this years addition will blow away all other Fifa's and general football games out there, though I'm thinking PES will give a good competition this year and even stronger next year.

But I just can't look more forward to playing football over the console again as I am now, I'm almost more hyped to get this game rather then my Samsung Vibrant! :p

The demo is out, and is amazing! I played 10 matches last night. The game play improvements are perfect. Guys will now try to shield and block the ball, you can't just run up and take it anymore. Unless you get a few guys on the ball that is. The AI will use actual dribbling skills now to avoid you, its pretty cool. And the passing feels real now. You can actually mess up passes, no more ping pong. September 28th is no far away!

What does the demo include? This is a sure buy for me so I might just wait it out. I have other games using up my time already...

As for teams it includes:
Chelsea, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus, Bayer Leverkusen and Olympique Lyonnais
and you can unlock Arsenal and Emirates Stadium by playing a facebook game called FIFA Superstars. You're limited to an exhibition match with three-minute halves in Real Madrid's home stadium, Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

The game seems faster paced. The graphics look crisper, animations seem like they have been increased ten fold. All new celebration animations. Guys tackling each other after goals. There are a bunch of full team celebrations also.

It seems like EA sports has a real dedicated team for the FIFA franchise, because they actually play the game and listened consumers feedback on what they/we didn't like about 10. What little that really was.

I highly recommend downloading the demo and playing a few matches for yourself. The game play feels more real. I can't praise the demo enough, or stop playing it.

I have been playing a lot of 10 lately getting pumped for 11. And just realized I will miss the soundtrack to 10, a lot. I love all most all of the songs in this game. I hope 11's is just as good if not better.

So far my friend is loving the demo, so think we will have something to look forward too there. I can't say anything about the music, but I miss the music from FIFA 98.

YouTube - Blur - Woo Hoo

It is not out in Europe yet but it should be out in America but when it does come out in the uk in september you can go onto play.com or gamestation's website to pre order it

I got this last night. Was surprising how different it was from fifa 10. (I never got around to getting 11 demo) But the changes are nice. CPU and your team are a lot more aware of loose balls, and the long passes that were automatic breakaways are gone now too. Feels more like a real soccer game. No more 10-0 wins so far. I did not get to play much but personality+ seems nice too. You can really tell when your playing as a superstar v. some practice squad prospect.

I got some quality time with this yesterday, I just created virtual pro and played some exhibition games. It is a lot more realistic then 10. Much more emphasis on build up and passing. A lot less clean breaks due to poor CPU AI on long passes and loose balls. Which creates more realistic scores. I hear bad things about Manger Mode tho.. Which is my favorite... So I am going to try that later today.
