Fifa 11

[ono]

FIFA 11 is being released stateside tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to it, probably won't pick it up until I find out if they fixed the manager mode problem on FIFA 10.

Anyone else planning on getting it?

waiting for the full reviews to come out - I switched to FIFA last year after 8 years of PES. It may be that I switch back this year.........

Mattyhitman, is a big PES advocate, how is the gameplay different?

It's slower, and initially for you it will probably feel clumsy, but that's because PES takes into account individual players technique and players transfer of weight. After a while you'll become used to it, and you'll know which players react differently.

PES11 is very deep, so it depends on what you're looking for. Fifa is more instantly rewarding and is much more accessible imo. The problem for me with Fifa, is that there is little player individuality. Like there is a difference between Messi and John Terry, but it doesn't have the subtle differences between similar sort of players. PES11 does. The collision system in Fifa is also awful imo. It's almost Rugby like. It plays a good game, but fundamentally it's all over the place.

If you download the PES demo, you'll have to give 20 or so games. It'll definitely grow on you though. It just feels very different to Fifa. Imo, both good games in their own right, but for PES11 is much more simulation like, and that's what i'm looking for.

It's similar to the difference between NBA2k series, and EA's NBA Live imo.
