Been playing it since Friday, I still can't seem to get a tactic to work no matter what I try, there was a good 4-5-1 I made but the players forgot you're supposed to put the ball in the net and not over the bar, 3-5-2 worked great pre season then got exposed in the league and 4-4-2 is pretty boring but I may have to give that a try next.

Good game though, and much faster than 2010.

Had it since Fri, spent most of my time looking at players on it. In fact, I haven't even read my welcoming messages or pressed continue yet.

Anything new with regards to the match engine?

Used 3D once because my PC is pretty naf but that's a lot better than previously, the 2D is smoother than ever and there's some pretty spectacular goals going in, my mate sent a screenshot of his right winger scoring from halfway hugging the side line

I found it fairly easy to score on the demo, using a 4-5-1 (although I was playing as Barcelona )

Played 6 or 7 matches on the demo but there aren't many players or much data on the quick start so just going to wait til mine arrives.

I've had it since last Friday, and i've only just really got going. Started a season with Tottenham and going to see if i can break the top 4 and make them regular title challengers, until i get bored that is. I can't see a great deal of difference between 2011 and 2010, if i'm honest.

I don't use the 3D match engine, just the 2D, because my laptop isn't brilliant and it runs quite slow and is a bit jumpy, so rather just use the 2D and get through the games.

Has it been dispatched? I'd cancel it if possible. How much did it cost you?

I'm going for mine after work, which is in about twenty mins, you found any players worth looking at.

Depends what level. I've not had much chance to scour the game, I've literally spent about 20 minutes just looking at old faces. Most improved player I've found so far is Poli at Sampdoria, has all the right attributes, could do with a bit of work to be the best, like. There are quite a few good players who have one year left on their contract at the start if you can get them quick enough, I think I seen Mexes, Albin, Afellay and Miranda (CB in Brazil), problem is, as soon as I press enquire, a few continues later and they've signed new deals.

Got a scout report on Coentrao, said he was available at £6m, which looks good as he looks ace.

Will have a proper look tonight, not too sure what to make of it so far.

On the demo, Argie defender Leonel Galeano (sp?) looks as if he has the attributes to be a top class player given the right guidance.

I much prefer gameplay.co.uk

Never had a problem.
