It’s that time of the year again, where we all eagerly wait for the release of the FIFA 11 demo. Yeah not the actual game, I’m talking demo because all we want to do is try out the new players and the crazy signings such as, David Silva and Yaya Toure to Manchester City and David Villa to Barcelona. Along with the new players and signings, we want that conscious addiction we always have when we purchase the new FIFA 11, try out some new game modes and game play. My bad for getting all of you excited and acting like I know the release date for the demo because like all of you, I’m clueless. However, check the preview of FIFA 11:

Pro Passing brings the manual passing that’s been an option in the series for some time to the fore, tweaking it to ensure it’s still an exercise in fun for less experienced players. Slotting the ball to other players is now more reliant on context – trying to spray it around with abandon is now a less fruitful option, and in the team’s own parlance it puts an end to the ‘ping-pong passing’ of previous FIFAs. It’s now important to think before laying the ball on, and the game benefits hugely as a result.

Then there’s Personality Plus, which is marketing speak for a new philosophy that fuels a string of like-minded features. Player’s physical attributes are now more varied – and subsequently more faithful to the source – and their behaviour on the pitch is also more pronounced. That means more player models covering a wider range, with the petite frame of Jermaine Defoe to the extra-terrestrial proportions of Peter Crouch accommodated, and the spectrum between is also served well. What’s more, they’re more than just player skins – older, bulkier players will move differently, their lumbering runs in stark contrast to the twinkle-toed pace of snappier players.
