FIFA 11 (Nintendo DS)

Product Information

Once setup like this though, it is the ideal way to pass the time on the bus to school, or morning breaks and lunchtimes. The graphics do a good job in this game, and although I suspect in future football games the graphics will be better on the DS, this version of FIFA 06 has some nice graphical touches, such a rain, snow and also clouds passing shadows over the pitch.

The real-life personality of the keeper, whether acrobatic or traditional, will dictate his style in game. Expect to receive scouting reports before each match and coaching tips at half time pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of your opposition. Some other bugs include intervening in a game you chose to simulate and watch the minute by minute text commentary, when intervening although you play as your team, the player names and stamina bars displayed are always for the opposite team, which can be extremely confusing.Combined with improved man-to-man interactions this not only looks like football it plays like it too, with all its subtlety and intricacy.

It really looks like a real FIFA game with players - although not really that recognizable as individuals - looking like real people. New Career: New player manager career mode lets you create your own player and experience a full 15-year career, with new team management options and a friends leaderboard. Nice Personality: Personality + system exactly simulates a player's performance both on and off the pitch, with new body types and animation to replicate every kind of athlete.Hit the pitch for a specific take on customary 11 versus 11 football matches with over 30 officially licensed leagues, 500 teams, and more than 15,000 players to choose from. After your payment has been processed, the content will be downloaded to the applicable system linked to the respective Nintendo Account, or respective Nintendo Network ID in the case of Wii U and Nintendo 3DS family systems.

For example one of the first challenges is to beat Liverpool with Man City with around 15 mins of play left in the game. defender trick system creates head-to-head battles as you move up the pitch, performing dozens of elaborate new tricks to throw the defender off-balance.With the 3DS coming out next year I reckon that will be my perfect version of FIFA, but until then FIFA 11 DS is keeping me and my mates pretty well entertained. With new player models and body types, new customisations options and new online modes this is the ultimate version of the ultimate football game. A completely new game and graphics engine brings with it a whole new level of realism and control, as well as a host of new features demanded by the fans. Take charge of the finer details of the on-field action – controlling your goalkeeper in one-on-one situations and using the Touch Screen to direct penalties and free kicks.
