Just another failed year at EA’s attempt to make a Futbol game.

Broken game. Broken engine. Never buying anything from FIFA again

Terrible, glitchfest of a game. Timed shooting is comical.

Every year I fight with the question of which soccer title to purchase and every year I end up purchasing both PES and FIFA. Truth be told, I usually end up playing FIFA more than PES. That deciding factor has always come down to licensing and presentation, because both titles play well. Well, that being said, FIFA again has cornered the market on the licensing, by snatching up the Champions League and also upping the ante in the presentation department. However this year, the gameplay for me feels broken. I have had several instances where goals were scored by way of animations playing out that I had no control over. Madden Football has become notorious for this and now it appears to have spilled over to FIFA. This is not a good thing at all. I can give you several examples of this, but the we don't have enough time. Here is one example. The opposing team took a shot on goal and it deflected off my defender and looked good while doing so, ball physics and all. And then IT happened.....The other offensive player literally slid about 5 yards over, like on ice skates, to put himself in the perfect spot to net the goal, without the players head even tracking the ball or legs moving to run over to that spot. The play happened so fast I had to watch the replay to figure out how it was possible that the player reacted so insanely fast. And that is when I noticed that it wasn't anyone reacting or controlling the player at all, it was in fact a pre-determined animation playing out. WOW!! What a buzz kill...Up to this point, I had never witnessed this occurring in a FIFA title. It is supremely disappointing and frustrating. That was only the first occurrence of many. I have also noticed a crazy amount of players clipping through other players, the ground and their own limbs as well. It just really feels as though the FIFA development team is banking on the licensing and presentation to carry this game and have left the gameplay unfinished and broken. It's an easy decision this year for me. It's PES all the way. FIFA will be in real trouble if PES can improve on the presentation and licenses, because when it comes to realism on the Pitch....it's hands down PES. I hope this helps anyone trying to decide what title to pick up this year.

The game overall is good. Also, I like having the champions league mode. The bugs are getting fixed slowly after the updates, which is good.

Bought this as a gift and he loved it! the graphics are really good.

I had such high hopes for this game. The graphics are somewhat decent. But the game play and computer AI are absolutely terrible. The lack of foul calls and contact mechanics are awful. I can get tackle 3 times in the box, no call, and bump a guy in the box and he'll get a penalty kick. As I'm on a counterattack, I see a perfect path to pass through but instead my wingers run straight into the path of the defender. Playing defense is horrible. The fellow defenders legit stand there and don't do anything. When you switch players all your other players slow down and don't sprint. They're no where to be found. If i forgot anything else that's bad in this game, please let me know. Can't really say there's one good thing about this game.
