EA Have Released New Screenshots Of FIFA 11's Creation Center
EA have released new screenshots of the Creation Center For FIFA 11. this creation center, found online, is used to create football player based on yourself which can then be uploaded into your FIFA 11 game. EA went through the process and released screens of each step. they also added some commentary for each step, which can be found by clicking on the speech bubble in the picture viewer below.
Screenshots
I have included the full commentary below if you find it easier to read it from there. the screenshots in the viewer are in the correct order of the commentary.
Commentary
Creating “My Work Team” in Creation Centre
My name is Sebastian Enrique and I’m a member of the FIFA 11 Development Team for Xbox 360 and PS3. I’m pretty excited about Creation Centre and today I want to walk you through how I have created “My Work Team” on it and downloaded it on my console to play against those big squads to demonstrate that a bunch of amateurs can destroy those professionals!
First of all, I’d like to say thanks in advance to all the people who pre-ordered FIFA 11 obtaining the early access to Creation Centre Beta Website. Your feedback will be tremendously helpful to us to continue improving the website and making teams and players creation a friendly, pleasant, and comprehensive experience.
Creating Myself
I started by creating myself as a player. The first screen asks to fill out the basic player information:
*my first name
*my last name
*preferred kit number
*an alias that would be used as the stamped name on my kit –although I left it blank so my last name will be used instead-
*a commentary name –how the match commentators are going to refer to me during a match; a caveat here is that not all commentary names are available in all languages
*my nationality
*my preferred position –yeah, I’m a center back
*my footedness
*my date of birth –although I put a fake one for screenshot purposes ;-)
*and a template that is going to be used to automatically fill out some attributes –a defender template on my case
The second screen is related to appearance. So, I get to choose what I want my player to look like. I was able to choose from a variety of ethnicities, face types, facial hair, hair style and color, eye color, height, weight, and complexion.
The third screen is for selecting accessories and apparel options: boots, ankle tape, winter gloves, wrist accessories, kit style, and short or long sleeves.
After the accessories, I’m taken to a really important section of player creation: attributes. The attributes will define how good (or bad) my player is in the different categories: Attacking, Defending, Goalkeeping, Mentality, Movement, Power, and Skills. Depending on the player preferred position, some attributes will be more important than others. For example, good goalkeeping skills won’t really matter if the player is a striker. The greater the attribute value, the better the player. I decided to be honest with myself on each category. I know I’m not perfect, but I also know I’m not a disaster!
After the attributes I get to the Traits and Personality. The traits will define very specific behavior for the player. Being honest, I tend to dive a lot into tackles and I also sort of often argue with the officials! Those were my selected traits. Take it or leave it…
Then I was carried over to the Personality tab. Here I was able to select from a variety of different options that add up to defining the personality, style, and behavior of my player – such as attacking and defending work rate, skill moves and weak foot abilities, celebration styles, and winter weather apparel options.
That was the final step before saving the player. I chose to save and publish for public use. This way, my friends can find my player and use it on their teams and consoles.
Creating the Team
The first team creation screen asks for General Info in a similar way as player creation. This time we need to choose:
*Team Name
*Short Name, a 3-letter abbreviation of your team, used in-game on score clock *graphics amongst other things
*City
*Country
*Commentary Names –what name the commentators will refer my team as; although I could also leave this blank for none
*Team Colors –team colors are the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors for the team. These colors are used, for example, for customizing banner colors on stadiums.
The following screen allows me to select what stadium to use as my home ground, and assign it a name.
The third screen allows me to select the crest for my team and assign it the primary and secondary colors.
The next option is where the real fun beings - assembling the team.
After creating my player I encouraged my work friends to create themselves as well and publish their players as public. With this I am going to be able to search for them and add them to my squad. Of course I asked them to be honest with the attributes! But it doesn’t really matter since I can edit the attributes after adding their players to my squad.
In the initial pop-up I first selected “My Players” to find myself (as a created player) and add him (or me) to the squad.
I then started searching my mates by last name and added them one by one to the squad.
I was keeping a tally since I need to have at least one keeper; and I also need to have a minimum of 18 players (11 for a start, and 7 subs) on the squad with the possibility of adding 7 reserve players.
After I finished adding all of them, I went to the “Squad” tab and selected the desired formation and with several drags and drops I ended up having my desired starting 11, substitutes, and reserves. After having that, I edited the player kit numbers to have the numbers I wanted to assign all of them on my created team.
After I was done, I clicked on Next and was sent to the player roles assignment screen. Here I just dragged and dropped from the starting 11 who I wanted to be the Captain, the Short and Long Free Kick Takers, and the Left and Right Corner Kick takers.
After clicking on next one more time, I was brought to the tactical section of team management, and had to decide about the Attacking Build Up Style, Attacking Chance Creation Style, and Defending Style.
The next step on the Team Creation process is really cool. I could spend forever in here: home and away kits selection. There is a variety of manufacturer kits to choose from for both home and away. I stuck to the EA Sports ones for my work team, and I was also able to select the primary and secondary color for each jersey, the type and color of kit name and number stamping, and the type and color of short number stamping.
After I was satisfied with my jerseys, I just clicked on next and saved my team publishing it as public.
Downloading to Console
The team was automatically bookmarked for me to download on console. My friends just searched for it by team name from the home page and then bookmarked it to be able to see it on their consoles.
So, I just started the game on console, and went to “My FIFA 11” -> “Creation Centre” from the main menu.
Once there, I was able to see my created (and automatically bookmarked) team and player –the player appears on a different tab-.
I just clicked the button to download and after a few seconds my team was ready to be used.
Then I went to “Kick Off“ -> “Exhibition Match” from the main menu, and when selecting the teams I found a new “nation” and “league” called Creation Centre were my team (and all creation centre teams) are going to be found for playing a match.
Gotta Play Now
That was all for now, I have my work team in the console; and I will start facing serious opposition. Enjoy your created teams, and send us feedback.
See you soon!
Sebastian Enrique.

After the attributes I get to the Traits and Personality. The traits will define very specific behavior for the player. Being honest, I tend to dive a lot into tackles and I also sort of often argue with the officials! Those were my selected traits. Take it or leave it…
Then I was carried over to the Personality tab. Here I was able to select from a variety of different options that add up to defining the personality, style, and behavior of my player – such as attacking and defending work rate, skill moves and weak foot abilities, celebration styles, and winter weather apparel options.
That was the final step before saving the player. I chose to save and publish for public use. This way, my friends can find my player and use it on their teams and consoles.
Creating the Team
The first team creation screen asks for General Info in a similar way as player creation. This time we need to choose:
*Team Name
*Short Name, a 3-letter abbreviation of your team, used in-game on score clock *graphics amongst other things
*City
*Country
*Commentary Names –what name the commentators will refer my team as; although I could also leave this blank for none
*Team Colors –team colors are the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors for the team. These colors are used, for example, for customizing banner colors on stadiums.
The following screen allows me to select what stadium to use as my home ground, and assign it a name.
The third screen allows me to select the crest for my team and assign it the primary and secondary colors.
The next option is where the real fun beings - assembling the team.
After creating my player I encouraged my work friends to create themselves as well and publish their players as public. With this I am going to be able to search for them and add them to my squad. Of course I asked them to be honest with the attributes! But it doesn’t really matter since I can edit the attributes after adding their players to my squad.
In the initial pop-up I first selected “My Players” to find myself (as a created player) and add him (or me) to the squad.
I then started searching my mates by last name and added them one by one to the squad.
I was keeping a tally since I need to have at least one keeper; and I also need to have a minimum of 18 players (11 for a start, and 7 subs) on the squad with the possibility of adding 7 reserve players.
After I finished adding all of them, I went to the “Squad” tab and selected the desired formation and with several drags and drops I ended up having my desired starting 11, substitutes, and reserves. After having that, I edited the player kit numbers to have the numbers I wanted to assign all of them on my created team.
After I was done, I clicked on Next and was sent to the player roles assignment screen. Here I just dragged and dropped from the starting 11 who I wanted to be the Captain, the Short and Long Free Kick Takers, and the Left and Right Corner Kick takers.
After clicking on next one more time, I was brought to the tactical section of team management, and had to decide about the Attacking Build Up Style, Attacking Chance Creation Style, and Defending Style.
The next step on the Team Creation process is really cool. I could spend forever in here: home and away kits selection. There is a variety of manufacturer kits to choose from for both home and away. I stuck to the EA Sports ones for my work team, and I was also able to select the primary and secondary color for each jersey, the type and color of kit name and number stamping, and the type and color of short number stamping.
After I was satisfied with my jerseys, I just clicked on next and saved my team publishing it as public.
Downloading to Console
The team was automatically bookmarked for me to download on console. My friends just searched for it by team name from the home page and then bookmarked it to be able to see it on their consoles.
So, I just started the game on console, and went to “My FIFA 11” -> “Creation Centre” from the main menu.
Once there, I was able to see my created (and automatically bookmarked) team and player –the player appears on a different tab-.
I just clicked the button to download and after a few seconds my team was ready to be used.
Then I went to “Kick Off“ -> “Exhibition Match” from the main menu, and when selecting the teams I found a new “nation” and “league” called Creation Centre were my team (and all creation centre teams) are going to be found for playing a match.
Gotta Play Now
That was all for now, I have my work team in the console; and I will start facing serious opposition. Enjoy your created teams, and send us feedback.
See you soon!
Sebastian Enrique.

Press Release
UILDFORD, UK, 17 August 2010 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) announced today that EA SPORTSTM has developed a new feature called Be A Goalkeeper for FIFA 11 that will enable fans to experience the thrill of playing as the keeper, and for the first time in a football videogame, will place control of all 22 players on the pitch in human hands. The new feature will be available for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system when FIFA 11 is available in stores September 28 in North America and October 1 in Europe and Asia.
Chelsea FC and Czech Republic goalkeeper Petr ÄŒech has been signed as the spokesperson for Be A Goalkeeper and will be featured in advertising, marketing and promotional campaigns.
Be A Goalkeeper is a completely new way to play—instead of thinking as a player out in the middle of the pitch, you have to think and react as the goalkeeper. Experience the thrill of the one on one battle, making the great save from a free kick, punching balls safely out of danger, the pressure of the corner, and most importantly, keeping a clean sheet. Be A Goalkeeper features three levels of accessibility with varying degrees of AI assistance—assisted, semi-assisted and fully manual. Fans will be able to compete as the goalie in Career Mode and enjoy a 15-year career or create themselves as the goalie in Virtual Pro 2.0 to learn the position, track stats, complete achievements and test themselves against the best players in the virtual world.
With control of the keeper now in human hands FIFA 11 will deliver an authentic replication of football online with 11 vs. 11 Online Team Play that locks people into the role of a single, fixed player the entire game. Now up to 11 friends on different consoles will be able to select and take control of their own individual players on the same team to compete against up to 11 rivals of another team.
“The phenomenal growth of online gaming and the desire of our fans to be able to play as the goalie was the driving force behind this innovation for FIFA 11,” said Kaz Makita, Executive Producer, EA SPORTS FIFA. “Friends can play alongside each other in their pro clubs with all 11 virtual players on the pitch human controlled. We have finally replicated football in the virtual world.”
Over 750 million online connected games have been played since FIFA 10 launched last October and over 350,000 pro clubs have been created that enable friends to compete alongside each other against rival clubs. Pro Clubs is one of the most popular online game modes in FIFA.
FIFA 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.

EA have also revealed that there are 16 other players that will join him, depending on the region the game is released. the example shown above is that in the UK, Kaka will be joined by Wayne Rooney on the games cover.
[Update] EA have released a teaser trailer for FIFA 11 Starring Kaka.
Press Release
GUILDFORD, UK. – August 5, 2010 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) announced today that Real Madrid midfielder Kaka has been chosen for the cover of EA SPORTSTM FIFA 11. The 28-year-old Brazilian football 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 football stars who will adorn FIFA 11 worldwide and joins Manchester United and England sensation Wayne Rooney, who graces the pack for the sixth consecutive year, as joint cover star in the UK. Kaka will be accompanied by football stars from other teams in other countries in territory specific packaging when FIFA 11 is available in stores September 28 in North America and October 1 in Europe and Asia.
Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, or better known as Kaka, is one of the finest football 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 11 cover is a great honor for me since very few players have this opportunity, and there have been some great footballers featured on the cover of this truly amazing football game.”
Kaka started his professional football 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 Football, EA SPORTS. “He perfectly illustrates a new feature in FIFA 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 football 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 10 gameplay that won 50 sports game of the year awards, FIFA 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.

Press Release
GUILDFORD, UK. – 9th June, 2010 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today revealed that its top-selling* franchise from EA SPORTSTMwill redefine player authenticity when FIFA 11 launches this Fall on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360®videogame and entertainment system. FIFA 11 reinvents player authenticity – on and off the ball – for every player and at every position on the pitch with Personality+, an all-new feature that sees individual abilities reflected in game, enabling clear differentiation for every player.
“Personality+ is the evolution of individual distinctiveness that sees a footballer’s abilities on the pitch mirrored authentically in our game, creating individual personalities in FIFA 11,” said Executive Producer Kaz Makita. “We have reached a level of sophistication within our game engine where footballers in our game will behave and perform as true individuals.”
Personality+ distinguishes individual footballers from one another by utilizing a database that evaluates and grades each player’s skill-set over 36 attributes and 57 traits. The EA SPORTS FIFA franchise utilizes a network of 1700 scouts, editors and reviewers positioned around the world to evaluate each player, creating one of the world’s most comprehensive databases to drive its market-leading football engine. Personality+ plus will be integrated everywhere in-game. Elite players are now empowered to showcase their world class skills. Real Madrid’s Kaka will deliver crisp, creative passes, Barcelona’s Andres Iniesta will utilize tighter turns and close control to dribble through defenses, Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney will hold off defenders and strike shots from distance with pace, and top-flight defenders like Giorgio Chiellini of Juventus will anticipate, predict and react to offensive players to win back possession. New body types and player models will further distinguish each player on the pitch. In addition, goalkeepers have also been injected with Personality+. The real-life personality of the keeper, whether acrobatic or traditional, will dictate his style in game. Dive attributes will determine the keepers with the ability to reach for further shots while reflex attributes determine reaction times, so a keeper like Petr Cech of Chelsea FC will be able to showcase world-class skills.
FIFA 11 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, yielding a deeply rewarding passing system. Poor decisions or over/under striking the ball will mean error-prone outcomes. New types of passes such as swerve passes will enable players to make a safer and more effective play.
