I am disappointed. For the first time in years EA slowed the game down and put more emphasis on passing play and controlled build up and... Took it all away with day one patch.

Here are my takeaways from getting a few games in last night.

1) Defense is very different. Tackles are physical, collisions are brutal at times, and defensive AI is a definite improvement. Some of the tackles were so satisfying, in fact, that I won't be surprised seeing more human defenders on ...

Let's face it, it is a lot easier for a Middle-Eastern terrorist to blend into the crowd in Qatar than it is in England or Russia.
Have you been to England or Russia lately? :D

Macca, my performances in FIFA 11 are already threatening Ukraine's chances to host EURO 2012, so hush.

My favourite ...

Currently we're using Zenit's...hmmm don't know why. :)
It's the only Russian team I can stand. Plus they have three very distinct kits. And of course, you can't beat the trapezoid, shaped nets. Just like home, baby.

Does anyone know if there is a way to play your virtual pro in a regular OTP ...

I finally was able to get a few games in. Here is what I saw.

For the past 3 years I've been begging FIFA to slow the game down, so that you finally have midfield play in the game. With ping pong passing and ridiculous pace, the ball would get out of the middle of the pitch in half a second, and ...

Speaking of PKs. Did they fix it so that when you play with an indicator rather than a bar you no longer need to take penalties blindfolded? How's shooting? No one's said anything, so I guess it's the same?

If it wasn't a MASH unit over hear with sick kids, I'd have you over.
I was kidding. You are the only person I know in Naperville with a house, where I can fully expect to find an Xbox and a dowloaded demo on the console once I break in. Everyone else is a lottery. :D


The CPU seems to miss an ...

Damn it. Stuck at work all day. Seriously considering breaking into Rob's place during lunch break to try the demo out.

Even the referees dive in Brazil. Must be an instinct

I forgot how to embed a video... Sorry )))

Interview with Rutter uncovers some early fixes in the game.

Don't like any part of being able to bring these guys into online clubs.

Agree. There could be some crazy over-powered players within a few weeks.

I am not too worried, it worked pretty well in NHL last ...

Good review, I found the videos of My Season 2.0 and Virtual Pro features interesting as well.

I don't know if they have adjusted for the keeper logic in the final game, but as I've said earlier, excessive chipping in the demo may be attributed to the fact that you can't change team tactics in the ...

Hello, gentelemen!

I've had the demo for over a week now, and here is what I have to say, if anyone is interested, of course.

Firstly, it's basically the same game as FIFA 09, so I will only talk about refinements and shortcomings.

Here is the list of things that were improved:

PACE - Game is ...

Really ? Well he wasn't facing a winger, as Modric is right footed, and he lost his man at the corner who promptly headed home. I'm not sure it was even in the same postcode as any definition of 'great'.

Umm... the fact that Modric is right footed should have made it more difficult on Johnson ...

On the bright side Glen Johnson was great, and that's a a huge plus. They've had no decent fullbacks for so long, it's refreshing to see.

Really ? Well he wasn't facing a winger, as Modric is right footed, and he lost his man at the corner who promptly headed home. I'm not sure it was even in ...

Oh, and I can hardly see how you can blame Benitez for the Alonso situation.
Well, I love blaming Benitez, as you well know, and I blame him for untreatable stupidity. He seems to understand that a team needs a deep playmaker (otherwise he wouldn't spring all that money for Aquilani) but he ...

Gates To Be Designated Successor On Inauguration Day

If the unthinkable happens on Inauguration Day, Robert Gates, the defense secretary, will be available to assume the reins of government.

This is just ...

We do have to play with Zeppo sometimes.
No. You don't, actually.
Ok, but we really want to. :) I am not too happy about throwing away more than a month's worth of dedicated losing, but I think it's time for us to see how good we can be in this game. I, for one, am curious. DSP United is not ...

DSP United is no more. FC DSP is the shiznit now. I've sent out invites, so please check your player hub, and let's get this thing started right tonight.

I am sure I've left out someone, please, let me know, so I can invite you.

No comment. LOL

I love Italian football

Okay, here is what I have.

Firstly, I want to apologize for being cranky during matches. I am extremely competitive and it's hard for me to take a loss, let alone 35 of them. I usually try to turn off my mike when I don't have anything positive to say.

Secondly, I've switched the team to ...
