Digital Chumps - FIFA Soccer 11 is a great game, but EA Sports had to do little to keep it at that level of greatness. Last year they pretty much went in and did an overhaul of the franchise. They brought better graphics, gameplay and other huge improvements to make the soccer (football) experience better for the user. Prior to FIFA Soccer 10 it seemed like the franchise was just going through the motions. EA Sports could have 'gone through the motions' with FIFA Soccer 11, but it also could have hurt what made FIFA Soccer 10 great by unnecessarily overhauling the series again.
Bitmob Community Manager Layton Shumway: What happens when I don't have the time to devote to a long gaming session? I play these games instead.
It feels like FIFA Soccer 11 has found its way in terms of how the series should evolve. Toning down the flashiness in regular gameplay makes the experience much smoother while the addition of street soccer mode, while not exactly new, feels like a worthwhile addition. Its online mode is excellent, and both career modes provide just the right amount of depth for the target audience. There's still room for improvement in some areas, but for the most part, the elements come together to create an enjoyable game.
