Same argument because the same stuff applies... EA still have the same problems that they have always had when it comes to making repetitive unrealistic sports games. Even NBA Elite, Madden, NHL etc. have similar issues
FIFA 08, 09 and 10 were that much better than the PES games at the time that they seemed like good games, and I enjoyed them, but they were still nothing like football, and neither is the FIFA 11 demo.
PES may be less advanced in animations, ball physics (deflections) and features, but it is FAR more realistic in pretty much every other area and is a much more accurate simulation of football... I'm not telling anyone what to play, I'm not doubting FIFA can be fun, but it's not realistic.
Also, I'd say that FIFA has more of a problem with the ball sticking to the feet, especially with the first touch, and as for the game looking like trash - the lighting and colours are great, I find FIFA a bit cartooney.
EDIT - FIFA 11 vids;
Ridiculous easy passing;
One of their main features, non-existant.
MB: Looks like the passing is actually better on the PC version, because for one thing if you underhit a pass, it won't magically ping across the pitch!
Player reactions/physics (full game);
(not my video, downloaded from
here)
I know it's only one short clip, but this is a common occurrence where player momentum isn't taken into account, making the game a tackle-fest...
So yeah, unrealistic/arcadey.
