When a defender is positioned in the line of a shot he may stick out his hand to block it.

Handballs are introduced for the first time in FIFA 11. You’ll also notice that the players are a bit faster than they were in FIFA 10.Īnother important change in FIFA 11 is the ability to control the goalkeeper, which feels very natural and adds an extra element to the gameplay. For instance, on crosses, it’s now normal to see more than one player coming up for the ball. Other tweaks to the AI help to make FIFA 11 the most enjoyable version to-date.

This means, for example, that Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney will charge around after the ball when he’s not in possession while his strike partner Dimitar Berbatov is more content to stand around waiting for something to happen! The new Personality+ system means that players move and act as they do in real life. The enhancements to the gameplay in FIFA 11 make it feel a lot more like real football.
