FIFA Soccer 11 Videos: Gameplay From GamesCom

[KG]

~0:42 secs - 1st Messi goal looked just like last year. He's standing at MF, no one is marking him or even acknowledges him, 1 thru-ball and he's 1-on-1 with the keeper. The LB (looks like Marcelo) just stands and watches him make that run from mid-field.

Chelsea goal on Juve is the typical FIFA sitter goal. Wait until the goalie commits and pass it to your 2nd attacker. Juve's backline didn't even make an attempt to get back. In fact the defender on the bottom just stopped instead of trying to get to Drogba. The other defender didn't do anything except back-peddle instead of either committing to Anelka or playing the return pass from Anelka.

I did like that Real Madrid wasn't in all-out pressure mode but there's just too many times where the AI just stand there when the ball is in the attacking 3rd.

FIFA has got to get rid of fully-assisted controls. I know Barca is a great possession squad but every pass in the last Pedro sequence was spot on, played right to feet including a falling-back slide-pass from Alves to Xavi to give Barca possession.

I know folks are probably going to say it's at a low difficulty level but it's Real Madrid on D. They aren't going to just let guys with Barca quality waltz into their box.

Yes, the pace of the game looks different in this video. Can't tell for sure if it is PC though.

That's got to be the lowest difficulty. He was beating Madrid 4-0 at the half, and the clock was moving fast.

Please gawd I hope so.

That was a terrible, terrible ...terrible video.



How many completed passes were there in a row? Like 6-9 per possession, it was crazy. I know it's Barcelona, but still - this means there was zero pressure...let me rephrase, zero "smart" pressure.

I just hope to goodness gracious that it was on the lowest difficulty.

Can someone out there in gamescom PLEASE record one in Legendary.World Class? Also maybe in a different camera mode?

oh, I just thought of the corners...those were terrible - standing trees in the middle of the box, no runs (near post, far post, middle) - just stagnet and the ball is perfectly to a player's head...

Not impressed. But understanding footage is raw...

You aren't going to see any videos without ping pong passing, since assisted passing and shooting is the norm. No way to tell the actual quality of the game until the demo is in our hands.

I hope this gameplay looks the way it does due to low difficulty setting or because 2 people who don't really understand soccer are playing. If not, it seems that the new passing system has nothing noticeably new and isn't preventing "ping-pong" passing and there was no Personality+ that was noticeable either. I watched all of these and Messi features in most of them, yet he looks no different from the other players when dribbling. He is quicker with the ball and looks to have more control, but there is no difference in his body movement and every players movement seems like the 360 degree dribbling is gone.

It had to be the lowest diff setting because if you notice the stat pop up below the score the possession was 61-39 in his favor

I wonder if you can get rid of the yellow X when you cross the ball?
