As much as I'm a PES fan for this year, surely that's the wrong attitude to take? Especially when it's a common suggestion amongst PES fans that it can take 10/20/30 games for PES to click, so surely half a game isn't long enough to make a valid judgement?
To be fair, giving up after one half is kind of ridiculous lol. I played about 12 games with the Fifa 11, even if I wasn't really impressed with it in the first few games. After more games my opinion of it didn't change. I feel that I gave a real good go at it though. Fifa just isn't for me.

You are kidding me right ? I can see by 3 minutes play that it has no first touch again, no posture relevance, slow passes that are supposed to replicate passing error ? Players gliding around the pitch without any form of relevant inertia or angles. The pitch feels too small, the players feel too big. And there still is very little individuality. It just doesnt 'feel' like football at all to me, not even close.
Seriously I could go on and on. If EA cant even get the most basic fundemental of football in place, i.e.,the first touch, then I simply cannot take them seriously. Especially when PES does it all. Im not part of EA's target audience Dags, and therefore this game cannot provide me with what I require.

And yes, it only takes 3 minutes to see this if you know what your looking for. I dont want to piss on anyone else's parade, it's just not for me, but I expect alot of people will get alot of enjoyment from it, mainly because they are not as fussy or simulation meticulous as I am.
Jimmy as you are by far and away the most, how can I put it.. the most Vehement PES supporter not to mention football aficionado, could you please send me a list of major things EA are doing wrong that Konami clearly get right, in replicating the game so I can pass them on to EA...
I am very positive about the demo but there is one thing that needs fixing:
When you play a groundpass, the ball behaves strange.
It looks like it is played on a muddy pitch; the ball slows down far too much.
I think other people noticed it too, so it really needs to be told to Jon Murphy.
I have no Twitter: Can somebody pass this problem through to him?
Thank you.
Couldn't have put it better, great postYou are kidding me right ?

What, 57 years of age and not having twitter??? I'm shocked!![]()
Yeah, it is disappointing that it's taken so long to get a game of this quality...Just want to say one thing guys, the sad part is that we, football fans, were expecting this type of game back in 2007/2008.
It's taken them 3 years and massive fall against EA to come up with a decent next gen game..just imagine where Konami would be if this 'game' came out in 2008.
Oh wells, will enjoy 2011 and 2012 will definitely be a major surprise.

FFS Nick, do we really have to go down this road again ? I only stated my points because I was asked. I'm not posting them in the Fifa demo thread as I have more respect for peoples own opinions than to piss on their parade. Nothing has changed in this regard for the last 7 years.
Yes I'am a football aficionado, it's the game I love, the game a fully understand, the game I have played all my life. And I'm more than qualified to dissect the technical side of the game and it's videogame reproduction. Please feel free to test me on any part you see fit.
Firstly, I'm a supporter of football fundementals and it's replication, the reason that I support Konami is because they fully understand football, and I wholeheartedly support their philosophy that has a proven track record. Everybody wants something different from a football game, I fall into the realism category. There are two seperate current philosophies, EA cater for one, Konami cater for the other. This will never change. This has always been my belief, and the reason why we have two very successful but significantly different football titles each year.
I have already written all the reasons why Fifa isnt a simulation, these were cold hard facts based on the technical side of football. Rom, as far as I'm aware, has already copy and pasted it before and used the basis of it for his unsuccessful attempt to help EA make Fifa a more realistic simulation. I have nothing but respect from Rom and his efforts, but they have fallen on deaf ears, and I can understand his frustration. Rom is someone who understands the technical side of the game, I've read his understanding on numerous occasions and I can totally relate to his views.
The bottomline is that EA dont need to change. They have the market share, they target the casual gamer, and they are highly successful, so why on earth would they want to disrupt that. They wont. It's business sense not to. You can tell them till your blue in the face Nick, it will never change anything. And I'm not going anywhere, so the day that EA do change, I'll be right here for you to throw my comments back in face. Just dont hold your breath.
Alot of people will love Fifa, and I imagine the manual Fifa players will be in their element with Fifa 11, and I'm sure the kids will love it, especially the custom celebrations. It's just not for me, for all the reasons I've stated for the last 7 years. Now please, lets just leave it at that.
Edit - @ VonDave.
Cheers for that, Personality +While jimmy is sharpening his pencil lol
2 things come to mind sraight away nick, Individualism and also the patience it takes to learn the game is a rewarding thing. It just takes time.With the other you become bored very quickly.
Cheers for that, Personality +Was supposed to be EA's answer to this...

Since mySo what you doing this year fifa ,pes both?
Jimmy, I was being serious, I don't know what you have passed on to HOB, I just wanted a pure PES point of view as to what's wrong with EA's interpretation of the game, as you bleed PES blood I'm asking you.
I'm not claiming I can get EA to change or even want to, I'm just asking for your opinion on why PES does these crucial things better and what they are, it's not a Spanish Inquisition, just a question?...![]()
