First impressions are not good for me. I got 5 yellows for sliding tackles in one match!!

This is my main gripe though. They seem to have made the sprint practically the same as a normal dribble. It's really slow even with the fast players.

It's like they took a step back from the World Cup game.

Maybe it'll grow on me though.

For me this is a very good thing, the gameplay was way too fast. It should be about the passing

Right, I downloaded the game onto my PC. I have now connected my PC and Xbox 360 using media Center. Anyone know how I can now install the game to my Xbox 360 from my PC?

Sorry for all the questions.

Thanks

You can't do it through a network, you'd need to burn it to a dvd really.

The file seems to be read only and wont allow me to burn it or put it on a pen drive. This is doing my nut in. :mad::mad:

Thanks though.

Finally got it burned onto a disc but it just says Mixed Media Disc, cant seem to do anything.

Also got it onto a pen drive, and don't know how to install the game at all. All this cuase I'm Xbox live banned. damn

Bugg

Enjoying the demo so far. It seems the type of referee changes between games, in one game I was giving free kicks away very easily which was annoying, in another match then the commentators mentioned that the ref in this match is very lenient and I was getting away with all types of fouls.

NUTZZ

It took me about 2 hours to download it earlier on, on a decent connection. My first impressions....I like it! The pace of the game has been slowed down which I really like, which also means ping-pong passes have been cut out (players lose control of the ball).

It seems like cut backs into the penalty area from the end line are much harder to pull off, the ball seems to over run

Chips require a lot more skill, guaranteed one-on-one chipped goals look like they've been removed

Keepers in general seem an awful lot better, long range shots in particular

The goal celebrations are nice, now with the option to run to team mates

Quick one-two's the whole way up the pitch have been toned down dramatically, which is a good thing imo!

I've only played a few games because the Arsenal game is on now, but I'll play some more later and report back here!

If you go to demos on the xbox with the disc in the drive, it should show up then!

Loving this! Roll on October 1st.

I'm afraid so Floyd. The reserves for you sport! :cool:

Can I be vice captain of the reserves?

With regards to the demo, I really like it.

Might try my hand at being the boards reserve goalie :P

Passing and dribbling are great.

Overall looks good.

You have to have the folder structure done properly on the dvd or pen drive first off. Im assuming you have this done correctly at this point. The disk will show up as a mixed media disc, you go into your games library with the dvd in the tray and when you go to your list of games in the library and look under demos you will see the game there. But the folder structure on the disc is crucial otherwise it wont work.

Got Arsenal in it. Had some good Chelsea - Arsenal games so far. Liking it.

x PyRo

Downloading it at the minute.

Can't wait for the real game, was #2 in Ireland online (xbox) for a while on Fifa 10 but got bored of it. Really looking forwards to Fifa 11 and losing my life once again! Should be brilliant.

I'll also be seen around this forum more often I'd imagine. :pac:

Very similar to World Cup game, which isnt a bad thing btw. Stats that pop up mid-game is a nice touch aswell.

I think you need to win 5 games to unlock Arsenal

Not a bad demo at all. Some nice improvements. I rather like that I can misplace a pass although, I'm sure I'll go fcuking spare when I get the full game when I keep doing it.

Marking seems a bit better, crosses are good too.

It seems like the type of game that will offer a better challenge than last years offering.

The 360 dribbling has been greatly improved and I rather like the new celebrations.

Have also played the PES demo and I think there's little to choose from this year to be honest.

Should be a nice debate as to which is better.

Srooney03

Agree with the above...no bigger FIFA guy than me but i was very dissapointed with the Demo...gave PES a chance and i taught with was very good it had a very fresh feel to hit...i dont know what to do now!

Eh, yeah. I've had a bunch of passes I've missed although they were directed and powered alright. Switched passing to semi but it still happens, picks out a guy in quite another direction or even passes it straight to the opponent. Also on automated and semi the passes seem to almost always too short. Even when pressing pass button for a rather long time, the receiver will eventually have to take a step towards you to get it, eventually slowing down the build up.

They should also finally do something about the randomness of the goal kicks (and free kicks to some extent, but these are kinda learnable by trial and error, which is kind of a weird way to learn things in a fooball video game), there is no way to aim or make sure your guys get the ball. Also the headers, which are just determined by the attributes of the players involved I guess. They always have these marketing lines that emphasise BEING IN CONTROL so they should really walk the walk.

Other than that, feels great. Happy about the cutting in to the middle past a defender getting difficult. It was my scoring style of choice and things got quite boring.

Hope goalies / shootouts won't glitch much, this was quite :eek:

As a manual control player. Im liking the new demo. Its slower but IMO it suits the people who prefer the slower/structured build up and thankfully the ping pong style will be finally gone:) Defenders are ridiculously strong though!

First impressions:

Have to say I really like it, but took me a couple of games to get into it.

The game is no longer about pace (thankfully). You actually have to play a bit of football. I used to hate that about other games, I'd have to drop Giggs or Scholes, just because they were painfully slow compared to Nani, Anderson, etc, even though they were much higher rated overall.

Crosses seem more effective than cutbacks, which is more realistic imo.

Celebrations are good, and at least you can get interrupted by your own teammates. I hate watching a guy run around like a headless chicken when you just wanna get on with the game.

The only annoyance I've found so far is that they stop play for ridiculous offsides... when a defender has intercepted and already played a pass away, let the game continue.

Skill dribbles, through balls, and all that good stuff seems harder to master or less effective.

Just so happens, I'm off work the Friday this is released.

Yeah I really like this. They seem to pop up instead of the old FIFA 10 "pan around the stadium while the game loads" screen, its a really simple and small touch but it really improves the presentation.

Well its €50 from Smyths, which means it'll be €45 if you're a member up there.

It'll pop up the yardage and 100% passing accuracy for a player, but sometimes Martin Tyler will say "here are the possession stats for both teams". Presume they know about this, seeing as its happened at least 5 or 6 times in the games I've played.

BigBenRoeth

Also think slide tackling has been massively revamped in a good way.

Pressing square in certain situations now will have your player go down on one knee and stick his leg in,and they can adjust if the opposing player changed direction at the last minute.

Really cannot wait to get the finished product,though even with personality+,i reckon most teams will just be 11 players with generic faces.
