Hey, adding “You’ll Never Walk Alone” to digital Anfield might be the only way to cheer up some Liverpool fans at this point. So yeah, that’s pretty cool to play against Manchester City and hear “Blue Moon” when your players walk onto the field, assuming you have that much free time on your hands to actually put it into the game. You’re able to import custom songs and chants to trigger during introductions and goals. That said, this year’s FIFA does add a full-blown creation center via its website for folks who used to go crazy with the old PES “edit” file. Granted this is much more difficult when you’re dealing with around 30 different leagues, there’s only so much memory space on the disc itself. Same thing for Visual Concepts “NBA 2K11” which take realism to another level. To its credit, the EA’s other flagship - “Madden NFL” - makes you feel like you’re inside an actual NFL game when you play it. So at least Arsene Wenger has one less thing to complain about. Any good reason Clint Dempsey once again gets a generic digital avatar? Both ?ukasz Fabia?ski and Vito Mannone get unique renderings. Render a few more faces to make players look like they really do, not just the superstars. Add some more unique stadiums instead of the generic Ivy Lanes of the world.

On the plus side, EA finally added the Russian Premier League to the next-gen consoles adding appealing teams like Zenit, Rubin Kazan, Dinamo Moscow and CSKA into the mix, although its “Rest of the World” option remains bare bones, with glaring omissions like any of the top Ukrainian, Romanian or even an choice from the Asian Champions League sorely lacking.ĮA might be better served to beef up the presentation for the big leagues, such as the EPL, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and La Liga, to create a more accurate game experience. It’s nice to have nearly 30 leagues to select from, but in the end, aside from the club colors and badges, there’s not a lot to separate a team from the Danish Superliga from the Swiss Super League. Nothing against these leagues, but how many gamers are actually use the Polish, Czech or Irish Leagues or the various other secondary or tertiary leagues? Hate to say it, but also how many global gamers are every going to queue up a FC Dallas/Colorado Rapids match?Īs it is already, it seems 95 percent of online players always select Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester United, to begin with.

Part of my long-ranging personal problem with the “FIFA” series is it tries to appeal to a worldwide collection of soccer fans, yet in the end leaves everyone feeling a little empty.

Still, it’s miles ahead of its only other competitive – Pro Evolution Soccer – which despite adding the Champions League and Copa Libertadores licenses lacks many national league licenses, notably the Premier League. It’s the best-playing soccer game on the market, yet it falls wide of the target when it comes to creating an authentic footballing experience inside a video game console. Therein lays the tricky spot FIFA 11 finds itself.
