Best Sports Game IMO, I don't know if there are a lot of soccer fans on GT, but who is thinking about picking this up? It is dropping in September.

I'll be picking it up. Hopefully they added some stuff to the Manager Mode this year.
My first ever FIFA game was World Cup. I have enjoyed it so far. Not sure I'll get FIFA 11, maybe down the line.
The World Cup games are pretty bare bones. I hope they don't charge $60 for that game. The annual FIFA game is where its at.Originally Posted by JBHuskers
Yeah, if you enjoy World Cup then Fifa 11 is a no brainer. I have both and I think that Fifa is so much better than world cup.
I picked up FIFA 10 a couple weeks ago to add a soccer game to my stockpile of sports games, and loving it. Already have FIFA 11 preordered. Can't wait for October.
They moved the release date up to September now.
I hadn't played FIFA in years. As a former soccer player EA just never got the game right. I rented 10 a couple of months back and really enjoyed it. Definitely going to be picking up 11 this year.
Sweet! Even better!
Been playing World Cup a lot this week.....FIFA 11 is now more on my radar than ever.
I really liked the atmosphere in the World Cup demo. I never picked up the game however. I haven't owned a FIFA game since the first version on the Sega CD.
Yup, my first soccer game was FIFA World Cup 10. I'll definitely be picking up FIFA 11 when it drops
The press release on the cover athlete:
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) announced today that Real Madrid midfielder Kaka has been chosen for the cover of EA SPORTSTM FIFA Soccer 11. The 28-year-old Brazilian soccer hero will be the center-piece of global advertising, marketing and promotional campaigns for the most popular* sports videogame in the world. Kaka is part of an iconic group of 17 stars who will adorn FIFA Soccer 11 worldwide. Kaka will be accompanied by stars from other teams in other countries in territory specific packaging when FIFA Soccer 11 is available in stores September 28 in North America and October 1 in Europe and Asia.
“Being on the FIFA Soccer 11 cover is a great honor for me since very few players have this opportunity, and there have been some great players featured on the cover of this truly amazing videogame.”
Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, or better known as Kaka, is one of the finest soccer players of this generation, having won the Golden Ball and FIFA World Player of the Year awards in 2007. During the 2009-2010 season, Kaka scored 8 goals in 22 appearances for Real Madrid.
“I’ve always been a fan of EA SPORTS and especially the FIFA series,” said Kaka. “Being on the FIFA Soccer 11 cover is a great honor for me since very few players have this opportunity, and there have been some great players featured on the cover of this truly amazing videogame.”
Kaka started his professional career at the age 15 for Sao Paulo FC. In 2003 he joined A.C. Milan before signing with Real Madrid in 2009. With 133 career goals in 372 appearances and a member of the Brazilian 2002 FIFA World CupTM winning squad, Kaka has secured his place as one of the best and most skillful midfielders to ever play the game.
“Kaka brings passion, imagination and individual flair to the game every time on the pitch,” said Matt Bilbey, Vice President of Soccer, EA SPORTS. “He perfectly illustrates a new feature in FIFA Soccer 11 called Personality+ that sees a player’s individual ability reflected in game, enabling clear differentiation for every player. With Kaka’s visionary style of soccer he’s always one step ahead of the opposition, moving into space with an often subtle change of pace and delivering crisp, creative one-touch passes and catching the goalkeepers off guard with strikes often from distance on either foot. His play is unlike any other player in our game and you will feel individual differences like this in each player, in every match.”
Building on FIFA Soccer 10 gameplay that won 50 sports game of the year awards, FIFA Soccer 11 reinvents player authenticity – on and off the ball – for every position on the pitch with Personality+, and introduces new Pro Passing where pass accuracy is determined by a gamer’s ability on the control pad, and player skill, situation and urgency on the pitch. Plus, experience true freedom in man-to-man interactions with 360° Fight for Possession that transforms physical play from just lateral jostling to full 360° collisions.
I would love to purchase this game but there are only so many gaming hours in a year. My football fix is pretty time consuming and NHL 11 looks really good this year. However, I did enjoy World Cup... maybe a Christmas present from the wife...??? I look forward to hearing the reviews when you guys get the game.
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) announced today that Los Angeles Galaxy star Landon Donovan has been chosen for the cover of EA SPORTSTM FIFA Soccer 11. The 28-year-old American soccer hero will join Real Madrid’s Kaka and Arsenal’s Carlos Vela on the front cover of FIFA Soccer 11 in the United States and Canada when it is available in retail stores September 28.

Very cool, not a big soccer fan, but got my first taste of a FIFA video game with World Cup, good chance I will give this a try.
Wow!
I just watched the EA presser at GamesCom and this game looks amazing....and I'm not a soccer fan! Very impressive.
Oh man, I am looking more and more forward to this game. I've already had it preordered since late June (along with NHL 11), and I can already tell that September is going to be a good month.
