The Bottom Line:

"Ambitious"

Im going to review this game with the same systematic approach I normally do, break down and tear down.

Career
Yes, there are major improvements and it does generally play better. Although I am still not addicted or profound of this mode (online is where its at) i am given the delight in many paralinguistical features I am able to produce all with the same positive connotations... "Oh WOW!" Yet I am guilty of only playing up to January I must state the "Deadline Transfer Day" system works well... so does the youth system and every other new aspect of the career

Be A Pro / Pro Clubs
All in all... BAP kinda sucks with the same boring feel to the game, with the slight difficulty of tackling (I'll get onto that later) However where playing with one guy really pays off (as a player not keeper) is on Pro Clubs (not the other online one). There isnt nothing new as such but dont change whats not broke in all honesty.

Ultimate Team
Still sucks... but hey, it enlightens many of my friends and I do believe im just being a bit pessimistic about the entire thing. Yes i can imagine its good and when i do get into it it does work... but the sheer overpowering of selected hackers, cheaters and bashers on people who have drastically weaker teams is not my area of likeness.

Multiplayer
PERFECT! every flaw is fixed from people picking stronger opponents to not having enough time sorting your team. The new league makes it more competitive and the Online Friendlies make it easier for me to turn around to my friend and state "I beat you 7 times out of 7 games... all by 3 goals!" with him not being able to retaliate. This is an amazing piece of online gaming work and has probably become the COD of the sports world for online gameplay (yet too play Battlefield so im not being biased)

Gameplay
More or less the same... but with addition of Tactical Defending. BRILLIANT! seperate the pro's from the PRO's!! like what Expert mode did to Hard for Guitar Hero... as well as this it gives the game a new learning curve. The impact engine hasnt won me over just yet, its a good step in the right direction but major improvements need to be done as right now it does feel too random... however, when it works... oh my does it work well...

Graphics - 9/10 (more or less same as last year... with better faces)
Gameplay - 9/10
Soundtrack - 9/10 (must comment on the variety here... brilliant!)
Enjoyment - 9/10
Innovation - 9/10 (seeing as I gave FIFA 11 a 7 here... this is good!)
