FIFA Soccer 11 for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

I am a lifelong Madden fan and it is the standard sports game should be judged by. I am just getting into soccer and was hoping Fifa would help me better grasp concepts like offsides. It fully lived up to my expectations in that regard, it has a cool replay feature for offsides penalties that helps a lot. I only really played the career mode which felt lacking in a lot of ways in comparison to what it's American Football counterpart offered. I felt frustrated by the fact regardless of my performance i was being sat a lot my first season. Also you don't get much stamina with a new created character apparently, and you never get subbed out so you have to make it last until you build it up (about a season and a half)

I did rate it an 8 so it has some really cool features that really enhance the game play. You can import mp3's not only to the menu music but also to crowd specific chants. I was able to find some mp3 versions of my clubs songs and chants for free online. Also the arena mode between matches is a perfect place to practice dribbling and one on one shots on goal. Once you figure out how to get ahead of a defender legally knowing how to handle just the goalie is paramount and without arena mode I would have been rubbish. Also this title has every club and league worldwide so the replay value is high even before you get into the online play.

All in all a fun sports game made better by not being inundated by EA's catchy but repetitive soundtrack.

Overall
==================
The game is great. The graphics are good, the game play is tight, and is the best soccer game available. However, I don't see enough to bother buying it if you already have FIFA 10 though.

Pros
==================
Minor tweaks made the game play even more realistic.

Cons
==================
The extra realism seemed to making passing and shooting a little more difficult.
