  1. FIFA 11 has taken a step forward to a better football simulation on PC: It comes up with better graphics, better gameplay, and again with a lot of licenses from different players and football clubs.
  2. Long wait-time for the next-gen FIFA paid off. You get amazing amount of football leagues, great visuals and authentic feel of play – and as a bonus there is an online FIFA World. [Issue#196]
  3. To many it'll still seem ludicrous that sports games are worth the purchase every year, but for anyone who's ever kicked a football in their life, this is the definitive choice.

    It's a great footie game, and the best we've seen on the PC. [Issue#246, p.104]
  5. Fifa is now the better soccer game on PC, too. Fifa 11 is a conversion from Fifa 10 next-gen, with some improvements and corrections. Is a competitive product, with a great online offer.
  6. With the number of licensed clubs, Career options as a player and manager, and online component, FIFA 11 will keep you busy for a long time.
  7. Finally, the game looks like up-to-date - why they decided to port last years console version instead of the current one remains a secret however.

  9. A smooth, reactive game, FIFA is the best option for PC footballers, even with some niggles in the updated code.

    Although FIFA 11 isn't a bad game, being above its predecessor in many regards thanks to the new engine, it still suffers from issues such as poor teammate AI and dubious referee decisions, plus an awkward default keyboard control scheme and the features still exclusive for consoles which could have significantly improved the gameplay (like Pro Passing).

    The list of modes might not be as lengthy or as innovative as what's seen on consoles, but there's no question that there's a lot of fun to be had with the traditional Manager Mode and Be A Pro: Seasons.
  12. FIFA 11 for PC is a nice start for the series on personal computers after years of disappointing iterations, but it's still far apart from its Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 counterparts.
  13. Finally a next generation FIFA with its valid technical features is arrived on PC. Too bad for the bugged and bewildering play-by-play and for the absence of the innovations founded in the console version.

    This update of the FIFA series on PC is far what it was promised to be. It's not the soccer that we see in life and on TV, but a tedious arcade wrapped in boring gameplay modes and half-baked engine. Only the online features save FIFA 11 from utter mediocrity.
  15. Considering that this PC version is essentially a porting of the old FIFA 10 for console, this purchase is advisable only for those unable to play it on a next-gent platform on a regular basis.
  16. Compared to what they had to bear during the last decade, the PC owners and soccer fans at last now got the choice between Pro Evolution Soccer and FIFA on their machine.

    I love the graphics. The content is satisfying and is fun to play. The arena mode is especially fun. I recommend it to anyone that loves football games and playing on the PC. Full Review »

    this is indeed a playable fifa. tactical moves of players are logic and quite similar to what you would see in real football. the gameplay is fluent and ball control is really up to expectations. of course , it is a port from consoles and we, PC players, don`t really appreciate this but this is alot better then last years fifa. play it for a while and you`ll see, it is not as repetitive as you would expect. and AI is really intelligent. I would say this is a football game to have. Full Review »
  3. I have to say that I am disappointed with this game simply because it seems that once again PC users have been given a raw deal. For one u cant adjust the video settings which look like they belong to a PS2 console, the controls are crap on the keyboard, the menus are pretty but clanky navigating. Otherwise I would have given it an 8 since it still isnt the best FIFA I have played. Please make a PC game taking advantage of my GPU otherwise make it for consoles. Full Review »
