Fifa 11 Covers

Why and Who keeps deleting them? -- The Egyptian Liberal (talk) 11:06, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Pc features different from console?

Career Mode (PS3, Xbox 360), Be a Goalkeeper (PS3, Xbox 360),Improved Celebrations (PS3, Xbox 360),Pro Passing (PS3, Xbox 360),Personality+ (PS3, Xbox 360). Are none of these features going to be on pc, and where is the source of that?

217.136.11.154 (talk) 10:53, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

The PC version is using the same engine as the PS3 / 360 versions so I imagine these features will be present too. Difficult thing to source until it comes out though. 94.173.100.191 (talk) 23:10, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Anyone knows if the game will feature UEFA Champions League and/or Europa League? Kante4 (talk) 23:20, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Impossible, since Konami owns the licence to the Champions League. – PeeJay 00:30, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Damn, would have been perfect... Kante4 (talk) 10:26, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

PSP platform

There won't be any changes stated to the career mode for the PSP platform? or any other new thing except a more intelligent goal keeper? Can someone confirm this? It seems that all updates listed only have a (xbox 360 and ps3) included except for the more illigent goal keeper.. sad for being such a poor ass..

New Leagues and Teams

Are there any new leagues or national teams in FIFA 11? If so we should add a list of national teams and leagues. Soxrock24 (talk) 12:14, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

lengthen game

I would be pleased to see the manager level not ending in 15 years.I feel if you can survive for so long then you lose interest in playing it again once you finish 15 years.In fact it should continue as long as you meet the required yearly expectations —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.89.152.131 (talk) 20:24, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Bugs...

If someone could add these to the actual FIFA 11 article, it would be great. And stop EA from duping more people into buying this bug riddled game. You may check the official FIFA 11 forums where hundreds of people are experiencing these, with no response from EA, AT ALL. These are for Career Mode, the offline mode people bought the game for. Don't get me started on the Online Mode. Thanks. This is just one example of a glitch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzoUvr5UX6Y

Virtual Pro's disappearing from teams after taking a new managerial position. This also happens when you're just in control of your own player (no player-manager/manager mode involved).

Players in Career mode disappearing and being replaced my random numbers. This was also in FIFA10.

Your own team's A.I. in career mode is not intelligent at all. They run into the opposition, they pass straight to the opposition, they refuse to pass, they sky shots over the bar... the list goes on. Even the top strikers in the world miss open goals from six yards out. Players also don't sprint, don't make runs, and don't move up the pitch with you. They seem lazy. You end up having to score 90% of your teams goals because of this. This is evident on ALL difficulties.

Game freezes.

The SPL stops updating and a winner picked at match 33, and when you play the remaining 5 fixtures, the table does not update.

The board fire you if you lose even ONE game before a review. Even after winning every cup possible.

Some people can't continue their game due to not recieving a certain trophy.

The team your Virtual Pro plays for refuses to buy players at all during your whole time at the club.

When your Virtual Pro is low on stamina (if you're not in Europe and/or cup, this is not a problem), the manager refuses to rest you, saying he really needs you in the next game. Even against a bottom 3 team. This also happened in the Europa League, where I had already won my group, yet he "neeed me" to play. I am currently having to start matches with 20-30% stamina. This is ruining my experience as all I can do is make one or two sprint runs per game. Even with Second Wind (my stamina has been at 85 for around 30 games now). The manager also refuses to take you off during a game if you have NO stamina at all, and with 3 subs still remaining.

Players who don't normally use kill in real life use skills all through the match. Very unrealistic.

Some unrealistic tranfers. Barcelona bought Eto'o, and Ronaldinho just before my first season started. Man City bought Robinho. I also noticed another player who I can't recall the name of being bought by the team that had just sold him a couple of months ago in real life.

There is a player growth error, explained here: http://forum.ea.com/uk/posts/list/17591.page —Preceding unsigned comment added by SystemShoX (talk • contribs) 16:26, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

We can add something about bugs if the subject has been covered by a reliable source, but not just on the basis of forum posts. Few games, especially new releases, will be completely bug free, so unless these bugs are bad enough that the gaming press are reporting on them, we can't mention them here, sorry. Miremare 16:44, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

You just have to view the Career Mode forum to see for yourself, the HUNDREDS of topics detailing these bugs. Not even a WEEK after release too. Half of those bugs are visible after playing Career Mode for a few hours, too. These bugs have made many Career Mode's unplayable for a lot of people.

http://forum.ea.com/uk/forums/show/37.page

Still no response from EA.

Or, just type " "FIFA 11" Bugs " into Google for tons of forum posts/videos.

07:04 24th October 2010 (GMT) - Online play is also affected by many bugs rendering most online services useless. This is under review by EA but its been weeks without updates on whats going on. Consistent Button (Input) Lag persists in many online modes and screen glitching throughout. Connection issues also persist.

--86.162.221.31 (talk) 12:12, 12 March 2011 (UTC) - As of March 2011 none of these issues have been dealt with. It appears that as purchases of FIFA 11 is mainly focused in the lower priority UK market, EA can get away with ignoring them, at least until the gaming press gets a hold of it. I predict that the problems will remain unsolved by the end of the year, by which time a new FIFA would have come out!

Stadia

I have re-added the stadia section. I disagree with user:miremare that it should not be included. The stadia are more prevalent in-game than the soundtrack so it does deserves to merit a section. A user above asks for the list to be included, I have took on his request only to have my input removed. People, including myself want to see a list of stadia in the article. The FIFA 10 article is the exception in not listing the stadia as FIFA 05-09 all did:

• FIFA_05#Stadiums
• FIFA_06#Stadiums
• FIFA_07#Stadiums
• FIFA_08#Stadium
• FIFA_09#Stadia

TheBigJagielka (talk) 16:53, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

The problem is people often want to see things in WP articles that aren't necessarily appropriate. But there are policies (WP:NOT), and indeed videogame specific guidelines (WP:VG/GL#Inappropriate content) that state that we don't list things like this. As an encyclopedia we should be writing in prose about about things wherever possible rather than listing them, as well as giving everything we cover the weight that it deserves. To be honest I wasn't in favour of the soundtrack list last time, but it was shown that the soundtrack attracted coverage and indeed an official album release, so its inclusion was justified. As for the other FIFA articles, as I've said before in similar discussions on FIFA 10, they break every guideline in the book and shouldn't be used as justification to perpetuate that. Ultimately if you want things changed, this isn't the place to do it - I'd suggest you post at WT:VG and ask for some input there. But pending that please don't keep re-adding the list - reverted additions should stay reverted while being discussed. Cheers, Miremare 17:38, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry Jagielka, but a list of stadiums really doesn't belong. IMO, mentioning (in prose!) a couple of real-life stadiums used in the game should be enough. Any more then that is really crufty. Honestly, the list of "stadia" (?) shouldn't be in any of the other FIFA articles either. Nolelover ^{It's football season!} 20:38, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

I'd like to add, the video game wikiproject is quite opposed to listings. Relevant or not, it is bad editing to create lists unless it's absolutely necessary, in which it must be decided by a group of editors by consensus to be necessary. A good rule of thumb to remember is "less is more", in this case, creating a shorter section (by making it into a paragraph) rather than a listing makes the article better. Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 21:00, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Right. It's not necessarily a bad idea to have a brief section on the stadiums themselves (how they affect gameplay, any famous or otherwise notable stadiums included, etc.), but a list is an obvious no-no. While we're on the subject, what about the "League" section. Same problem. It needs to be shortened and have (at least) an intro written. Nolelover ^{It's football season!} 21:09, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure on the notability of the stadiums, because i've never heard of any of them but I found an example as to how the section can be approached, Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stages. I know it's a bit of a stretch to compare a fighting game to a sports game but hear me out. Notice how the Stage section states the common gameplay elements of the stages, as well as notes some individual aspects. A good way to go about it in the Fifa 05 article is like so:

"Fifa 05 features 30 soccer fields for play, 20 of them are real-life such as the, [insert listing of various arena, not all of them, just a few] while some stages are simply generic."

And add to that things such as environmental changes such as if it can rain, snow, hail, etc. in the arenas. Mention that the stages follow the ordinary rules of a soccer field such as boundaries. Look up reviews with reviewers that say things about the stages themselves, like "the animation of the crowd is poorly done" and things like that. The Stadium section does not have to simply be a listing of the stadiums and you'll find that readers will be most pleased with a section like that. Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 22:38, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

All I can say for sure is that in its current form the stadia sections are an utter mess. They need to be moved into a 4-5 column table so they don't take up half the article if they're kept. The soundtrack sections are 'definitely WP:GAMECRUFT -- the rule on posting soundtracks is that they have to be available for purchase, as an entire soundtrack, outside of the game -- iTunes, CD, whatever. Just a listing of in-game tracks is pure cruft. --Teancum (talk) 01:08, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

For a good 5 or so years, I've been coming to wikpedia to find out the songs in the games soundtrack. Why the frig would you take it out???????????????!!! Who made up that rule about posting soundtracks????!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.66.135 (talk) 04:56, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Glitches!!!

While FIFA 11 is indeed a great game there are some issues that are clearly not mentioned in this article. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzoUvr5UX6Y this is a common glitch that happens to me often as well. Fifa needs to make some patches but other than that its a great game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.81.75.48 (talk) 23:27, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Glitches are not needed. Remember this is not a fourm for FIFA 11, it is to improve the article, 67.81.75.48! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.92.53.159 (talk) 00:40, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Why this section contains the PES 2011 article? It doesn't seem relevant; in the article of PES 2011 there are no links for this. I think all of this is propaganda... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.31.230.129 (talk) 23:43, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 is FIFA 11's only major competitor in the football video games market. They came out at the same time and people are likely to be choosing one of those two when buying a football game. The fact that there is no link to FIFA 11 in the Pro Evo 2011 article is irrelevant. – PeeJay 10:53, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Whatever you say. Anyway, I still think everything's made to promote PES...
