Personally I'm not interested in single player. In this day and age I really don't see the point playing against the computer. Online Seasons all day for me. Online all manual are the best games I've ever played. Not fussed on UT as it's not realistic. I prefer playing with proper playing squads tbh.
I don't play as often as I used to but when I do play FIFA, I absolutely love it. The game is superb and I enjoy it for what it is. It's the only game that brings out emotions like it would watching a real life game.
The corners are so annoying though. When I'm playing and I'm all over somebody I'll say to my son that they will score from this corner and they usually do. Something isn't right with that. One game a lad had 3 attempts and scored 3 goals... all from corners! Absolute farce!!
I avoid default game searches like the plague as they are just 100mph pingpong rubbish. That is when you can say the game hasn't changed for years as it basically hasn't. When Manual was introduced, that was the next evolution and I still can't believe not that many people converted to it so I understand why the guy above said he'd rather still play sensible soccer.
Shooting is hard but the more input into passing direction and weight of pass the better for me. I hope it gets more manual as it has been dumbed down a bit since 10 (I believe it's since 10 iirc).
Really looking forward to what this is going to look like on the new Xbox. Hopefully the crowds will look a lot better and there's a bit more live action going on around the stadium as I can't see the on pitch graphics being improved that much more. Obviously thing will be a lot crisper but can they really make it look that much better? Maybe they will surprise. Dynamic weather and slide marks on pitch and other little things will look nice but as long as the game play doesn't get messed up then I'll be quite happy tbh.
I always get the latest version as I don't personally buy many games so a £40ish outlay a year is superb value for money for me.
I also like playing clubs with the lads so with the rumour that Wales will be now be licensed and Cardiff City now being a Premier League team, we can play in their nice shiny new kits too
