semi assisted and manual is all which is needed.
At the worst the default should be semi assisted.
Yes but 90% of people dont. Trying to find games online against semi assisted gamers is a task let alone manual.
Most people that play Fifa dont even know what manual or semi is. If EA made semi the default setting the online experience would be so much better.
Same with the new tactical defending. EA put it in there but they also allow you to not use it and keep using the BS system of last year where you can just run into people to tackle. Makes no sense!!

Skills!!
Still enjoy Clubs mode on occasion with FIFA 11. Scored this beauty today.
But I rushed the replay saving, which is something EA desperately needs to improve on. The ability to upload them is superb but not being able to save longer replays or save goals for editing later is abit sad compared to what the FPS lot can do.

When I played '11 online I only ever played full manual and it was a fucking blast. Sure, sometimes it took a while to get a match but it was like playing an entirely new game and you could also make some beautiful passes not possible unless on manual and when you score, you know you earned it.
I'd hope to see less of the ping pong online this year because to me it's incredibly boring but then again I'll probably just end up looking for full manual matches again.

Manual control is silly. You can look at the stats for any of our players who insist on it, it's always the same: the more manual your controls, the worse your passing and scoring ratios are. I play the game such that I score the most beautiful goals, therefore I have most things on full assist or semi. There is no honor in losing for your team under the guise of manual controls.
Seriously. If other people are depending on you to help them win games, don't do stuff like that. Think of it like this: winning is way better than any kind of satisfaction you'd ever get from missing all your passes and only being able to hit the easiest ones that would be a cake walk if you used the proper controls.
In case anyone missed it, I have updated my gameface for a new season. Okay, maybe not updated, I just gave him a haircut and he's still the most horrifying thing ever.

They let you turn Passing Power Assistance ON in FIFA11, which is one half of the Pro Passing feature they introduced last year (contextual error being the other half, but you can't change that).JWong said:
They've left Legacy Defending in for people who want to revert back to the homing missile pressuring system (but I believe it stays OFF in ranked games, like they did with Passing Power Assistance):
JWong said:
In his defence I did think similar in that the old defending style was out completely, may have been in one of the interviews with Rutter where he said everyone will have to just learn the new style of defending.
Could be wrong though.
Manual passing is great but yeh using it in clubs isnt always a great idea. Me and a friend did it for awhile where its just the two of us up front with no ANY and we played some glorious football. But then we'd have games where we sucked, and when other guys came on it just wasn't working and like you say, you dont use it if you're gonna be letting people down.
Manual passing is more like real football though, because defenders have to spend more time marking the space otherwise guys will pass into it which gives the person on the ball slightly more time. The flow of the game ends up being a lot more realistic.
Biggest peeves?
1) Bloody homing missile crossing with a good pro against shitty AI. Seriously fuck that shit.
2) Stupid hit and hope long balls that result in Pro bursting past idiotic defence. I swear some teams out there just do nothing but hit and hope for 70% of the game.
I almost never run into teams who play (or even try to play) good football like my team does.

you can now choose to play against people on manual settings if you want.

defenders 's IA it's good but not perfect...movements needs to be improved.
goalies are good to,but they suffer "finesse shots"
the AI at "legend" level it's pretty good..maybe too good actually..many tricks even from low rated teams.
sorry,but if you 're looking for customisation,PES it's the game for you...fifa has always been a few steps back in that regard..but such basic thing as create e player and put it in a team..yes you can do it..you can even play the career mode with a created player.
passing depends on what settings you decide to play...full assist doesn't need much precision..even more if you play like a big team like Barça or R.madrid...semi-assist helps you a little but you can make wrong passages if you don't do them with attention,or too fast ...manual is with no helps from the game,where you pass,how strong the pass is,it's all in your hands
all this is about fifa 11,i haven't play fifa 12

added this year if i remember correctly
Menelaus said:
it's true..but hopefully online the default setting will be the new tactical defending..so you could use the old "homing pressing" only in local with your friends...
HOPEFULLY
JWong said:
no it's not..there's an option to use the old pressing..but the default is the new method,and online too i think.

ea always put a old build on the public demo..last year the demo on september was much older than the ones people could play 1 month prior at a EA event...
Good jersey for the wolfsburg this year..maybe i will use that for "home" and the lyon's one for "away" on ultimate team this year.

Having honor whilst losing on manual control is almost as silly as using a 3* team and using that as your excuse for losing to Barca. If it pisses you off that people use 5* teams then use the matchmaking tools bra, but a pet peeve of mine is when someone comes in here "Goddamnit I use Porto and lost 5-0 to Barcelona why do all the noobs use 5* teams!?"
Which is why I mentioned the 2nd PES demo. If Konami could do it, I'm sure EA can too.JWong said:
Anyway, just played 2 FIFA 11 Head to Head matches, both opponents disconnected. I suppose being beaten by Benfica while playing as Real and Arsenal is pretty groundbreaking for them. The community for this game really is shit.
The hacked pros is the worst. I don't see the point of playing with a superhuman player. Surely that takes the fun and satisfaction out of the game.rvy said:
Not to mention that a lot of teams will see them on the ready screen and quit or quit during the game. Which must mean they spend most of the time struggling to get in a game and when they do it's shallow and boring?

I can't wait any longer, I hope the matches are going to be longer than 3 minutes, last year after a game I played a rematch and pretended it was the second half.Cornballer said:
QVT said:
Really it's the shorter the pass the worse manual is for ya and i imagine that will change once we can apply sliders to the power bar speed and they remove the supercharged first touch passes.
Even without the variable power bar speed, manual long balls are amazing. You can do like three different types of long balls that are infinitely better than through balls at mid to long ranges. Assuming things don't dramatically change, i can't wait to show yall what i'm talkin' bout in FIFA 12 clubs.

This year I'm switching from the PS3 version to the 360 version.
On average, how many players are playing fifa 11 online on the 360 now? There's 80k on the PS3.

Nobody plays the PS3 version. If you want to have people to play with, especially here, you gotta do it on 360. Every year people are like "oh look there's almost as much interest in the PS3 thread" but seriously, go back and look at 10 or 11. Get it for 360, don't be silly.
