EA's global enterprise is showcased by the stability of its online network, which rarely falters when playing one-on-one or, during the new 11-a-side matches, as your chosen player. In multiplayer mode the football comes to life. This makes scoring more satisfying and goal celebrations all the more acrobatic. Shooting is also more realistic with drives from outside the area harder to keep down while retaining power and placement – emphasising skill, timing and precision. Heading, a skill never quite mastered in previous versions, is more controllable, making tall and powerful players essential. The play is more balanced, sending crisp passes across the turf feels more deliberate, allowing you to build up moves before delivering through balls.
It also moves away from summer's World Cup edition, which made it far too easy to score. With Fifa 11 (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PC, cert: 3, out now), the adjustments have become more subtle, fine-tuning the gameplay to feel substantially more physical, both when fending off defenders or competing for the ball. We got exquisite ball control, realistic player movements and challenging, but convincing, computer opposition – a deadly combination with its licence from the organising body, which gives it all the rights to real player names, tournaments and stadiums. So, as the two face off once again, which has the edge this year?Īfter years of lacklustre Fifa releases, EA rediscovered its form two seasons ago with a new look and feel. Each, appropriately for the genre, generates fierce rivalry among fans dedicated to supporting their chosen title.
