FIFA 11

New features:

General
- PC version uses the next-gen engine (used by PS3/360) but with improved graphics over consoles.

Gameplay
- Passing improved, controls speed and swerve
- Player individuality, personality and workrate (Rooney will chase down, Berbatov will be casual)
- Goalkeeper alertness toned down
- Goalkeeper saves being more unscripted, organic and realistic;
- More than 1 player per team going for the ball (can be tackled by 2 opponants at the same time)
- Signature animations for star players
- Marking being improved
- Defensive system overhaul to stop pressuring being so effective
- Improvements to defensive and attacking AI
- Easier for players to fend off defender physicality
- Less precise long balls
- Less precise AI which makes the game appear scripted
- Much harder all round due to realism, may put off casual gamers?

Graphics
- Player faces created using 3D scans (EA visited all the big clubs with a 3D scanner)
- Player body models improved, shoulders and proportions more realistic, skin and muscle tone detail added
- 10 types of player model instead of 3, think Peter Crouch)
- Kits are soft and move about
- New facial animations, realistic eye movement and blinking

Sound
- Custom crowd chants (upload from HDD)
- Custom soundtracks (upload from HDD)


“Ping pong” passing was much more difficult to perform, and dont expect John Terry to playing perfect through balls. They also mention Ronaldo’s running style is in, and players like Berbatov stroll about, where as Rooney chases every pass down. Sounds to me like individuality is coming into FIFA 11 at last so I may have 2 good football games to play this year lol. Also driven through balls are in you can add music after scoring a goal, before and after games.

Defensive system overhaul to stop pressuring being so effective

Lets hope this is true.

Goalkeeper saves being more unscripted, organic and realistic;

Hopefully the keepers learn to catch the ball instead of palming it away all the time.

I really hate it when that happens.

I would like a random event if you hold down A for to long whilst defending such as your player drop-kicking the person on the ball, you get a red card and that basically means HAHA you hold down A noob

Fifa 10 has a crap defence, takes about 3 hours to get back :( The goalie can't catch. I hope fifa 11 is better :)

woo sounds good :)

They all went downhill after fifa 07 or 08 imo.

Redefining player authenticity...

All-New Personality+ Enables Players to Behave and Perform as True Individuals

Electronic Arts today revealed that its top-selling franchise from EA SPORTS will redefine player authenticity when FIFA 11 launches this Fall on the PlayStation(r)3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360(r) videogame and entertainment system. FIFA 11 reinvents player authenticity - on and off the ball - for every player and at every position on the pitch with Personality+, an all-new feature that sees individual abilities reflected in game, enabling clear differentiation for every player.

"Personality+ is the evolution of individual distinctiveness that sees a footballer's abilities on the pitch mirrored authentically in our game, creating individual personalities in FIFA 11," said Executive Producer Kaz Makita. "We have reached a level of sophistication within our game engine where footballers in our game will behave and perform as true individuals."

Personality+ distinguishes individual footballers from one another by utilizing a database that evaluates and grades each player's skill-set over 36 attributes and 57 traits. The EA SPORTS FIFA franchise utilizes a network of 1700 scouts, editors and reviewers positioned around the world to evaluate each player, creating one of the world's most comprehensive databases to drive its market-leading football engine. Personality+ plus will be integrated everywhere in-game. Elite players are now empowered to showcase their world class skills. Real Madrid's Kaka will deliver crisp, creative passes, Barcelona's Andres Iniesta will utilize tighter turns and close control to dribble through defenses, Manchester United's Wayne Rooney will hold off defenders and strike shots from distance with pace, and top-flight defenders like Giorgio Chiellini of Juventus will anticipate, predict and react to offensive players to win back possession. New body types and player models will further distinguish each player on the pitch. In addition, goalkeepers have also been injected with Personality+. The real-life personality of the keeper, whether acrobatic or traditional, will dictate his style in game. Dive attributes will determine the keepers with the ability to reach for further shots while reflex attributes determine reaction times, so a keeper like Petr Cech of Chelsea FC will be able to showcase world-class skills.

FIFA 11 introduces new Pro Passing where pass accuracy is determined by a gamer's ability on the control pad, and player skill, situation and urgency on the pitch, yielding a deeply rewarding passing system. Poor decisions or over/under striking the ball will mean error-prone outcomes. New types of passes such as swerve passes will enable players to make a safer and more effective play.

Building on FIFA 10 gameplay that won 50 sports game of the year awards, FIFA 11 continues to listen to its growing legion of FIFA fans around the world to refine gameplay in ways that matter most to fans. Visit http://www.facebook.com/easportsfifa to join the FIFA group to express feedback directly to game developers and receive exclusive content. New game modes and innovations will be revealed in the coming months along with features on other platforms.

FIFA 11 will be available in stores world-wide this Fall for the PlayStation3, Xbox 360, Wii, PC, PlayStation2 computer entertainment system, Nintendo DS, PSP (PlayStation Portable) system and mobile. It is developed under the EA SPORTS brand by EA Canada in Burnaby, B.C. The game has not yet been rated.

Not happy with defence strength having less effect. Just means now that it's even easier for someone like Agbonlahor.

Will love hearing blue moon every match :P:P

Graphics look good

and yet they still can't get the colour of man city's shirt right...

How overdue is this please. Everything else is what you would naturally expect but overall it does sound very exciting. Looking forward to it!

in fifa 12 i want custom celebrations, where you set what happens (like the custom trick mode on tony hawks games)

The 'big' feature this year will be the ability to play as the goalkeeper in be a pro. I bet my house on it.

Libero Grande did it on the old PSX so there's no reason why it can't be done.

YES YES YES YES YES

Finally improved graphics on pc..

Ughh celebrations already do my head in as they are

updated pens aswell

I want to see a huge Improvement within FIFA Clubs. Would also be kinda nice If they added the same sort of clubs as FIFA 09 had. I like playing Virtual Pro clubs, but sometimes I like to play with normal teams.

I hope by 'visting the big clubs' EA didn't just mean the English Premiership.
