UK Chart: FIFA 11 shoots, scores number one

gamespot does this crap every year they make a fifa and they automaticly give it a 9.MADDEN NFL 11 FTW!!!

I'm just glad Dead Rising 2 is still number 3. I hope it can hit number 1! It's nice to see a decent third party Japanese game actually do well in the Uk. I wish other great third party games like No More Heroes, Yakuza and Tatsunoko vs Capcom shared the same sucess... I guess it all comes down to marketing to a modern, lazier generation of consumers, who only know what they see.

@the-dude12 +1000000 :D!

@wiidsduelpack: Why do you care what OTHER people play?

Time to admit it like me Ninty fanboys. Wii has fallen in popularity worldwide./ Xbox 360 is topping the Wii in monthly charts. The PS3 is getting close to the Wii. Lets check the NPD report. Or maybe it is that casuals don't buy as much games as hardcore players.

the-dude12 ... STFU!!!!!

BOO SOCCER'S FOR PEOPLE WHO R TOO WIMPY TO PLAY A REAL SPORT LOLZ

FIFA11 is pretty good, good to see it on top

@ GamerLegend10, I know your second point was not directed at me, but I can tell you how much they can change. They can IMPROVE the game, which is what they try to do each year. There was a significant improvement in last year's version with regards to gameplay, but there were some bugs in the manager mode. This year now they have improved the gameplay again giving you more control over passing and shooting as well as being able to play as the keeper. I don't know if you're into football, but if you are, you would see the differences when they improve upon the game. While I agree some FPS' can vary, I don't see myself buying COD, MOH and Battlefield as they are mostly the same. I will buy Halo, KZ and one of the 3 mentioned (preferably COD).

download the demo FIFA 11 is brilliant try it. its competely different only hardcores players on do it lol

I'm giving this years football games a miss. I bought PES and FIFA last year and both disappointed me in different ways.

Its the first fifa i have bought since fifa 06 and it will be the first one i've properly played since the legend of a game fifa 2003

@RedWave247: You could say people are SHOOTING with their TACKLES on Fifa. am i doin it right?

@mike_3000 yeah i suppose people want to be up to date with these things, i was just being a little ignorant before. although in my opinion i still dislike them (although can be fun on occasion) @Sphire yeah i get where u are coming from, although FPSs can vary vastly, but a football game is a football game, how much can they change really?

Review the PC version Gamespot.

FIFA FTW!

whats so good about fifa i play fifa and pes pes is better

FIFA 11 is an amazing game indeed :)

Glad to see people still havent given up on the PS2, on topic FIFA 11 is a brilliant game, much improved over FIFA 10/World Cup imo.

I guess a lot of people are getitng a KICK outta FIFA? =D

@ GamerLegend10 The main reason they bring out a new one every year, apart from improvements to the game, is because of the amount of player movements that take place in the off-season. While other games like NBA, NFL, MLB etc. concentrate on one league, FIFA has to cater for 2 and 3 leagues in EACH country involved (England, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Potugal, USA, Brazil, Argentina etc.) as well as the major national teams. There are a lot of new player additions each year.

Anything that knocks Halo down the rankings a peg or two is a great thing in my eyes. It keeps the fanboys quiet.

FIFA 11 is great

@GamerLegend10 A lot of people could say the same thing about FPSs, and they wouldn't be far from wrong. Just like there, people buy new football games because it's the 'in' and 'new' thing. Heck people buy a lot of things simply for being 'new' and 'in' no matter how little upgrade is implemented.

Fifa games have always been at number 1 in the sale charts for every year.

Good for EA I guess? It only means that within a year I'll be able to buy Fifa 11 for less than 75% of the pricetag haha. Fingers crossed about Medal of Honour later this October.

i dont get it, i just dont see what is so good about Fifa (well to much hype for an ok (ish) game) or any football games, there all basically the same anyway. i mean i can see the fun in playing it with mates every once in a while especially if your into the sport but its just not that good to buy like every bloody game (which a lot of people do) which is marginally different to the last. I would expect 1 new football game every 2-4 years would be good enough.

@CrispyBread We've gotta love something. Not like there's much else going on.

@Sirbobislost It's not that. It's that the 360 is the chav's console of choice lol. And before the 360 fanboys blow a fuse, I'm joking, I'm sure there are a few PS3 owners who are chavs too :D

PES 2011 will be much better than FIFA 11 this year. Apart from the past 4 years, PES has always dominated - at this year it willl be back

Glad to hear the news. FIFA has improved massively over the past few editions. And with PES realizing it's recent flaws and correcting it, seems like us footie fans are in for a treat. :D

@ TTDog Um aren't FPS games the Chav games of choice? Because I've certainly had to mute enough of them on reach and MW2

Actually my comment about Rugby sucked isn't fair. Most of them sucked, there were a couple of good ones

From now on my shopping list is empty until november (exept for Medal of honor).

@crispyBread All around the world, people love football

@ninjasung They did, it sucked.

:)

Judging frm the demos, Pro Evo is genuinely better this year, unlike last year or the year before.

Why don't they make a ruby game?

No surprise really. Nice to see F1 hanging on to second though :D

In UK people love Football. (Soccer)

Not surprised. Sport games will always sell extremely well no matter how good they are.

Always been a Pro Evo person myself, but this lag free 11 vs 11 does look appealing...

Suprising... the Chav game of choice not selling more on the Chav console.

Every year, somewhere, within EA's offices, they are giving << LINK REMOVED >> to the dude(s) who suggested that they start their own digital football game franchise. It's undeniably a money-maker - year after year without fail.
