A more balanced review..

Still gives it a good score but says what is still wrong...
"Firstly, chipped shots. Spending merest seconds in the murky, underhand world of competitive online play last time around, nobody can have failed to notice the ease with which keepers could be lobbed in FIFA 10. Whether due to absent-minded number ones dawdling on their six-yard lines or simply their ease of execution, trouble was afoot the moment any player went clean through. To sort this troublesome problem out, EA sadly hasn’t retooled goalkeeping AI but simply made the controls associated with chipping a significant degree more difficult. The result is undeniably more balanced, although the prospect of a howler from the man between the sticks remains as likely as before."
This is exactly what's wrong at EA they never solve problems they just find ways to move round it.
1v1's should be hard to CREATE not to SCORE. 1v1's in real life probably get scored 80% of the time.... the problem is its too easy to get a 1v1 in the first place in Fifa...
I partly agree. It should be hard to create 1-on-1's. However it should also be really hard to pull off those chip goals and it was one of the solutions I remember posting here after the release of 10. Glad to see that a logical and footballing solution was found.
The goalie AI did seem to be altered aswell when I played the demo, although I never try chipshots anyway.
