FIFA 11 Review: PSP

This is going to be a weekend of game reviews. Its was UFC two days ago, it's FIFA 11 for PSP today and it'll be FIFA 11 for the PS2 tomorrow.

For the PSP, I have to say, FIFA 11 is a lot better. The graphics are better, there are new commentaries and the action is just a whole lot smoother, compared to FIFA 10 which for me was quite buggy at times.

There are also some new techniques and tricks on the pitch that are good, you can hold off your man properly for example. Another thing that isn't really bad or good is that I was playing at professional on FIFA 10 before I got FIFA 11, now I can play world class no problem. I don't think my skill level has improved overnight (if it has, great!), I think that they have made the levels quite a lot easier.

There are quite a few bad things in FIFA 11 though, that I'm not too pleased about. Firstly, and most importantly, they've ruined career mode. They claim it's new and better but in fact it's just way more complicated. On the old career mode you clicked career mode, you made your manager, and you played. You controlled the transfers, the wages, and the playing on the pitch. In the new career mode, you get the choice at the start to be a player, player manager, or manager. Don't understand this at all? What's the one you choose so it's like the last career mode. Manager, player-manager, who the hell knows? Player managers don't even exist in the top class of world footy. One more thing, is their new be a goalkeeper mode, which is plain stupid. Unless you play as a crap team against Chelsea, you have practically nothing to do all match and you just get bored. Besides you can be a keeper in a normal match, just press triangle!
