How to copy created player in FIFA 11 PC?

Question

Is there any way to copy created player in FIFA 11 PC? The problem is I want to build my own team. Each player will have same physical attribute (attack, defense etc) but will have different name and face. It would be helpful if I could just copy 1 created player and only change the face and name.

Thanks

Answer

Googling says that the only editor around for FIFA 2011 changes the appearance of the ball… for the demo.

Thus, currently, this is not possible.

How to list players as available for transfer in 2011

Question

I have one wally in the team I would like to sell before his contract runs out. How can I set him as 'available for transfer' or whatever?

Asked by tm1rbrt

Answer

Go to Transfers and Sell Players, find the player, press 'A' (360) which brings up a context menu, select for sale and this will change his status to listed. It doesn't mean you will be able to sell him though, there seems to be strange bugs around not being able to get rid of players, even good ones .. despite things like their wages not being too high etc.

Good luck.

Fifa 11 Career mode take Virtual Pro when moving clubs

Question

Just finished my first season in Career mode and was disappointed that all of my job offers at the end of the season are for "Manager" only. The only offer of Player Manager was with my first club.

Does this mean I'm now stuck with my original club (Perth Glory) if I want to continue using my VP?

If I move clubs am I likely to ever get another offer as Player Manager?

Asked by Fishcake

Answer

Once you move clubs, you lose your Virtual Pro. He disappears from the game then. (I know, it's kinda stupid.)

Which team, formation and default tactic in FIFA-2011 are best for those under level 10?

Question

Can you recommend a team, formation and default tactic that can stop my losing streak in FIFA 2011? I'm still level 1 - I'm guessing Spain/Barcelona are the obvious choices.

Choosing those two teams feels like I'm selling my soul but I'm bored of losing 3-0 every game.

Answer

You could give Real Madrid a go. Ronaldo is pretty over-powered, so throw him up front and score heaps of goals.

Ok so that wasn't the most serious answer. The beauty of football is that it can be played a variety of ways, and any team can be successful on their day. Other things can influence this as well, such as the formation you play, or the custom tactics that you use. At the end of the day, you need a team that compliments the style of football you like to play.

Possession / Passing Game

This style focusses on keeping the ball, and is my favourite style of the game. Basically in defence you want to get the ball back as quick as you can, and then keep it. Be patient and build up your attacks slowly, moving the ball from one side of the pitch to the other with short, sharp passes.

The main aspect to attacking with this style is the use of off the ball runs. If you're running into space with the ball, tap R1 (on Playstation) a couple of times and send a few guys on runs to create some space. When you give a pass with a midfielder or attacker, in many cases you'll want to hold R1 again to ensure you are creating passing options for the next man.

Team: You can't go past the classic footballing teams. Barcelona or Arsenal. Great passers, they're fast, and they can finish.

Formation: You'll probably want to use a 4-3-3 variation. This gives you both depth and width, and natural triangles for passing opportunities.

Tactics: High movement, Free Form attacks, High Pressure defence all over the pitch.

Long balls

My most hated style of the game. Not because it's ineffective, but because I find it ugly. It can definately be effective, for example you'll create lots of 2v3 and 3v4 opportunities, where a mistake from a defender can create a chance on goal. Don't forget to attack down the wings either, as having a couple of finishers in the box can net you a few goals.

Team: What you're looking for is a team with 2 strong attackers, who can hold the ball up and protect it, then finish. Think along the lines of Manchester United, with Rooney and Berbatov up front. Or Manchester City, with Tevez and Adebayor up front.

Formation: Some variation of 4-4-2 should do the trick. Flat midfield if you play down the flanks, or a diamond to give more depth in the midfield.

Tactics: I can't think of any specific tactics that would help, however you want the 2 front men sitting as high as possible.

Counter Attacking

This style can be very effective given the right team, a really fast team. For most of the match you'll be just waiting. Let the other team have the ball, and play defensively. Don't put too much pressure on them, or you'll tire out you're players. Then wait for an opportune moment, for example when you're defending a corner, and from there you rush out of defence with 2 or 3 passes, and have a 3v3 or better attacking chance.

Team: Someone fast. Arsenal come to mind, or perhaps Real Madrid.

Formation: Play defensively. I'd suggest a 4-2-3-1 for this style of play. You get both depth and width, to break fast from defence, and go either wide or down the middle.

Tactics: Bring down the amount of defensive pressure you're team puts on in defence, and make the attacking moves Free Form with risky, medium to long passes.

Hope it helps.
