nekunando Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 I played the PES 2011 demo for the first time last week and my impressions were fairly positive. I downloaded the FIFA 11 demo and, while it is good, I'm not sure how I feel about it in comparison to FIFA 10.. it is certainly more difficult to play, I feel I had another game of PES 2011 a couple of days ago and, to be honest, it felt absolutely horrible for the most part.. but then I had a game with the 'snowman tonight after the FIFA 11 demo. To my surprise, it actually felt really good. I had basically decided on FIFA 11.. but now I might go with PES 2011 for something different! We played with the Game Speed "+2" and it worked quite well I might have another game before Match of the Day 2..
dazzybee Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Anyone know the cheapest place to get this game? Last year the supermarkets had a crazy price war didn't they? Reckon I'm going to get the Wii and PS3 version this year!
Happenstance Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I'll be getting my copy from Sainsburys tonight. Its £24.99 if you do a £30 shop.
Ellmeister Posted October 1, 2010 Author Posted October 1, 2010 they've all got some deal going mainly if you buy another game full price you get it cheaply. Think Asda are doing it at £29.97 standard or 97p if you trade in Halo:Reach or F1 2010
dazzybee Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 £30 brand new will do me. I'll pop in to Tesco tomrorow! Can't wait!
lostmario Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I think I'm going to wait till Gamestation have it for £17.99 for one weekend only. They did it in late October last year I think.
Ramar Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Apparently we sold 300 copies last night, people started queueing at 10:30, it was proper mental for a supermarket. Luckily we had enough and I picked one up during my break. Though I'm not sure why, whilst I see differences in tackling, passing and penalties. It appears almost the same as it plays, though career mode looks so much better.
nekunando Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 ..so.. how is everyone feeling about FIFA 11 now that you've had a few days to get to grips with it? My brother got it earlier in the week and we played a single game of it before I had to head out.. and I actually haven't played it again I'm finding it difficult to get excited about it.. but hopefully that'll change when my friend gets it and we start to play it regularly PES 2011 should be arriving tomorrow and, for whatever reason, I find that thought of getting my hands on that more appealing right now.. Very strange
MadDog Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Played more of the demo, and I actually quite like it now. It just clicked the other night. Think I'm going to go buy it later.
Ellmeister Posted October 21, 2010 Author Posted October 21, 2010 Housemate has bought pro evo, so I've been trying to like that. But..I just can't. Some major faults (goalkeepers/ AI in general) really annoy me. Some bits are good, replays look awesome and goals generally look more worked to do but I think I'm going to have to get Fifa as my mate from home says its better than 10 and I love that game.
Emerald Emblem Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I got this game despite my reservations in the demo. Another case where the main game is better than the demo, either that or I managed to adjust to it. Now I can work the ball even sweeter than I did in FIFA 10 now.
nekunando Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) I still haven't really felt any desire to buy this myself yet I play it at my friend's house every so often and although my opinion of it has improved since my first experience of the game, I'm certainly not feeling any great sense of excitement about it It's a good game, don't get me wrong.. but part of me thinks that the FIFA we have come to know over the last couple of seasons may already be starting to get a little old in a way. I was really hoping Pro Evo would be great this year as I have definitely missed it in recent years. That's not to say I didn't really enjoy FIFA 10 (Hell, I practically bought an XBOX 360 for it ) but part of my love for it came from the fact that finally we had a great football game to play since Pro Evo became extremely stale. Unfortunately, FIFA could be in line to meet to same fate somewhere down the line so I hope either EA or Konami can provide something refreshing again in a year or two.. PES 2011 is definitely an improvement over what went before but there are far too many noticeable flaws that hold it back, despite the great new passing system (which was long overdue!) FIFA 11 is probably better than FIFA 10 in many ways, but I do have a number of gripes which include the fact that crosses into the box often favour the attacking team ever if the defender should win the ball and is in a better position. I've even had instances where my defender is in pole position and then stepped behind the attacker and let him have it The crossing has also been destroyed Edited October 22, 2010 by nekunando
MadDog Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Got it yesterday. I hated the demo mostly, although I could see it had something. After playing it alot yesterday, I think it's awesome. Once you get used to the passing, and learn when to send players on runs. It becomes immense. Career mode is miles better than Manager mode was. If you hated the demo like me, don't immediately ignore the actual game. They seem totally different.
nekunando Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I wasn't particularly fond of the demo at the time (not least because I almost always use Liverpool and they obviously weren't available ) Manager Mode doesn't really matter that much as I only really play football games against friends now.. for the most part Having said that, I recently returned to my Master League in ISS Pro Evolution 2 for the PS1 and it is probably the most fun I have had with a football game in several months That game is still awesome..
MadDog Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Who has this for the PS3? I'd set up a friends league if there was a few of us.
Ellmeister Posted October 23, 2010 Author Posted October 23, 2010 Xbox version it turns out is at home! Need to parentals to forward it for me!
nekunando Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Who has this for the PS3? I'd set up a friends league if there was a few of us. I can get access to my brother's PS3 some afternoons but playing in the evening might not be possible due to him getting home from work and our internet being capped during peak time
Emerald Emblem Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 When it comes to Football games it's 360 all the way.
lostmario Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 So who has this for the 360? Interested in forming an N-E pro team?
nekunando Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 If I ever buy it then I will have it for the XBOX 360 I'd have to subscribe to XBOX Live, though.. I guess it's possible I can play any of you, whatever the console
MadDog Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Who's downloaded Ultimate Team? I really like it The web app is awesome, been wheeling and dealing, made 7,500 last night. Now I've got more to play with, i should be able to make better profits.
dazzybee Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 What is Utimate Team?! I'm bang up for online goodness with this game. PS3 (and wii) version!!??? Leagues, friendlies, anything!!! I don't have loads of time, but with enough warning I'll be up for a fair bit!
MadDog Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 You create your own team from scratch, it's like a card trading game. Players come in the form of cards. It's hard to explain, but it's awesome. Here's a video that explains it better
Ellmeister Posted November 8, 2010 Author Posted November 8, 2010 Finally got Fifa 2011. Its awesome. Demo was crap in comparison and that must not have worked well for fifa. The game is definitely "harder" and more fun because of it. Least the keepers are much better this time.
